“Just hurry and eat up, honey.” Mom said as I came dashing towards the kitchen. Grabbing a piece of bread I took a huge chunk of it. “I’ll be late today because I’ve got some clients to handle.” She said, as she picked up her bag from the sofa. I hummed. Giving me a kiss on the forehead she rushed out after saying her goodbyes.

“Will you ever stay?” My voice echoed in the house which was now empty.

We lived in a two story house which was small but homely. Shaking my head, I grabbed my backpack, car keys and phone and rushed towards the door.

Today was the first day of the senior year. Was I nervous? No.

Zooming through the empty roads of the neighborhood in my Audi Q5, I passed through the roads where the richest people lived. Those houses more like mansions were beautiful. Worth drooling.

Humming the song that played in my car I stopped infront of the huge brown entrance, door. Honking a few times, I waited.

Soon my bestfriend came running out and took a seat next to me, her strawberry shake jiggled within her hand. “Careful, I don't want you too stain my baby.” I hissed. Yeah, I call my car -- my baby, absurd I know but I just love my baby girl.

“Sorry to be a nuisance.” She shrugged giving me a cheeky grin. “You always were.” I scoffed, turning on the engine once again, I started driving towards the hellhole.

“Flora, breakfast?” I asked her.

Shaking her head, she bit her lip. I sighed, giving her side look I turned towards the drive through of McDonalds. “How many times do I have to fucking tell you that you should stop listening to his pathetic opinions,” I gritted out. Before she could speak, I stopped her with a disapproving look. “He doesn't care about you, Flora. He is just with you because you are popular, for fuck sakes he always talks about you behind your back.”

“But I love him..” She spoke out in a small voice. Ignoring her, I rolled down the window and started ordering her favorite food.

Fuck love.

“You love him but he doesn't, why wont your thick head accept this fact?” I sighed. Grabbing our takeaways, we soon drifted towards the entrance of the school.

Parking my car on the school grounds, I turned towards her giving her a skeptical look, I saw her eating just the nuggets. “Eat this burger too before I shove this down your throat,” I said calmly.

She giggled. Fucking giggled. “I love how you scold me, Celestina.” She smiled softly. Sighing, I looked at her, my expressions suddenly softening. She was beautiful. Way too beautiful. Her dark mocha skin always stood out on her curvy and petite body. Her black locks of straight hair rested till her shoulders. She wore a tight purple crop top which showed her belly piercing and her dark blue jeans that hugged her ass tightly with a pair of matching black heels. Her nose piercing was the prominent thing that always stood out too many that made her look insanely gorgeous.

But she was stuck in a toxic relationship with the schools jock. How pathetic.

“Alright alright but we need to be quick if we don't want too skip our first lesson” She chuckled. “Promise you’ll eat it?” I raised an eyebrow at her. She nodded. “Promise, now let’s get out!”

Nodding, we both grabbed our backpacks and walked out of my car. Locking it, I twirled my car keys on my index finger. The people automatically making the way as we walked through. Girls looked at us in jealousy whilst guys looked at us with lust. Giving them a wink, I strided towards my locker. But before I could make my way towards it, a girl came rushing into my body making me stumble on my own heels.

Everyone gasped.

My phone on the floor upside down, probably it was cracked.

My jaw ticked.

Looking up, I saw the girl wearing round glasses, her hair was sprayed in every direction. She looked homeless and pathetic. “Tina are you okay?” Flora said as she gripped my arm.

“I-.. I’m s-sorry.” She hastily spoke.

My body shook with anger. Picking up my phone, I slowly walked towards her making her gulp.

She looked down.

Grabbing her jaw, I made her look into my eyes. “Four eyes, do you always cause chaos wherever you go?” I asked her. My demeaner was calm. Very calm for my own liking.

The people, whispered amongst themselves. Some had there phones out in their hands.

She hastily shook her head. “Answers darling."

“N-No.” She hesitantly spoke. Digging my acrylic nails in her jaw, a silent whimper escaped from her mouth. “Tina, I think you need calm-" I cutted Flora off with a hiss. “Leave this school you piece of shit, this place isn't for people like you who are homeless,” I venomously spoke out.

I could hear people gasping my words.

The girl had heavy tears rolling down from her eyes. Bringing her face closer towards mine, I slowly spoke in her ear making sure no one heard the words I uttered next, “do you want me too tell everyone that you love being manhandled by your own father?” She stilled.

Giving her push away, I saw her expression, it was full of pain and hurt. Her eyes had that emptiness which I was familiar with.

I smirked in victory.

Before she could utter any other words, I spoke, “Just go kill yourself, you don't deserve to stay alive.” With that I walked out of the hallway with Flora behind me.

“Don't you think you went too far?” She said. I shrugged and entered the first class. AP English was never fun. I always seemed to fail in it. Ha, I am just dumb. Or maybe I just don't want too study.

Taking a seat in the back, I saw Flora looking at me with an unreadable expression, she huffed and sat in the front leaving me alone. Good. I don't even need anyone.

Soon the class started, with Miss Smith talking about various essays and whatsoever.

Looking outside the window, I saw the birds fly happily. My mind drifted back towards the girl. Behind her innocent façade was a horrible one but no one knew that. And it was better that way.

The class ended in a blur and and soon we marched towards the second one.

Few hours later, lunch arrived.

Flora interlinked her arms with mine again as we arrived at the cafeteria. The people stopped what they were doing as they looked in our way. As you may have figured it out until now, I was the typical bad girl of the school. Or you can say the queen bee who rules.

Taking a hold of the tray filled with our lunch, we went towards our table. The table in the middle which was mainly known for the popular ones. Taking a seat between Flora and Ava, I started eating my salad.

“That was one bitchy side you showed today,” Lucas grinned. “I must say you were hot.” I gave him lopsided smile.

You see, I have six people in our popular group. Lucas being the blond one and brown eyes, Marcus his twin with the same facial features. Jacob was also blond but with green eyes. Next was Ava with a typical hoe side. Stacy who was a black just like Flora. And than there was me who stood out but not in a good way.

“She is already a bitch, you should know that,” Marcus said to his brother. “But I would love to see that side in my bed.” He replied making me shiver.

“Yeah no thanks.” I replied with a smirk of my own.

Stacy was Jacobs girlfriend.

While we all were single except Flora and Stacy.

Moments later, Nick came running towards us. The typical jock of every high school. His hand gripped Floras neck as he gave her a peck on the lips. “Hi gorgeous.” He said making her giggle. I unknowingly stabbed my fork on the cucumber.

“Anything wrong, slut?” His words directed to me. Yeah I wasn't on good terms with him. “Nah, nothing wrong manwhore.” I replied with a sickly sweet tone. Lucas snorted.

I could see his nostrils flaring from anger. “Please you look like a raging bull, Nick. I suggest you stop giving your nose that type of exercise. It looks like an inflated balloon.” I spoke in a highly pitched voice so everyone could hear it.

Marcus erupted in laughter followed by the whole cafeteria. Stacy couldn’t stop her giggles, even Flora looked like she’d crack up at any second.

“That was.. was fantastic, I must say. You.. you got him there Tina.” Lucas said laughing in between his breaths. I grinned.

Giving me a harsh glare he stalked away from our table towards the other jocks who were also laughing at his embarrassment which was caused by me and I was proud of it.

And that’s how the day ended with me passing sarcastic comments too him whenever he tried to take the revenge.
