“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.
A week had passed since the incident, that happened with the girl in the hallway.And honestly I was pissed. Pissed at the people who had uploaded the videos of me tormenting the poor girl, it showed that I was the bad one. And I was proud. Proud to be the one too teach her a lesson.Poor girl, my ass.But right now I wanted to get away from the weird fruity smell that invaded my nose. “Can you be quick with whatever you have to say?” I impatiently asked the man who sat on the comfy leather seat infront of me, only the big oak table separating us.“Miss Celestina Vidal, you cant keep doing this, we may expel you this time.” The man in the suit, also known as Julian Romero the headmaster said whilst fixing his expensive blue checkered tie. “Oh please, I didn’t even do anything.” I scoffed, as I leaned back on the wooden chair which had been giving me aches from the past few minutes.“This time you have not only bullied that girl but also told her too kill herself. Miss Vidal this issue
To be honest the ongoing lecture was shitty just like the teacher.“Proceed to page 5.” She spoke, her long ankle length skirt looked like she was a grandma even though she was just in her mid thirties. Freak, I must say.“Psst.” The guy from behind me spoke. Ignoring, I kept my focus on the stupid book. “Psst, listen.” Shrugging him off once again, I kept my cool. He tapped his pen on my shoulder, “sexy just listen.”Turning around I saw Tyler Jones. The typical cliché boy who slept with every single girl. “The fuck is your problem?” I lowly hissed. “Give me a pen.”Scowling at him, I gave him a middle finger and turned towards the teacher.Her front was towards the board, she kept on writing and spoke at the same time, something about chemicals. “When you react nitric acid with calcium hydroxide it forms a compound called calcium nitrate and water. This reaction is a redox reaction and can be explosive at times.”“Pen, pen, pen.” He chanted like a pre-school kid. “Shut up Jones.” I
“Are you sure you don’t wanna join the cheer club?” Stacy asked.We all were seated with our food on the trays. “I don't know Stac, I have actually no idea.” I sighed. She took a sip of her cranberry juice, her eyes lingering at my face with confusion, “you were there it in the last year, why not now?"How could I tell her that I quitted cheer practice just too get in the skating club.“I’ll give it a thought.” I said making her smile.Flora was still nowhere seen, probably out there with that jerk, Nick.“Why are they so hot?” Ava questioned, resting her chin on her palms. “Who?” Marcus asked.“Them.” She pointed out to the table in the far corner towards the window. Marcus turned around. His face immediately turned into a frown. “The nerds?"“Yes, they all look so yummy.” She said dreamingly. He looked back at us with his frown deepened. “What’s with that look, Marcus?” I asked him. “They are fucking cheaters.”“How so?” I questioned. My eyes drifted at there table. One of the boy
Have you ever experienced that moment when you want to bash someone's head so hard until they bleed? Yeah that's how I felt right now.Looking at my Mathematics teacher, he wore a disappointed expression. “Look Celestina, I would be very straightforward with you, if you wont get good grades than you would never graduate.”Anything but a disappointed expression. I fucking hate it. It makes me feel low.I scoffed. “What do you want me too than?"“I suggest you too study. If you cant, than we can get you a tutor. We have excellent students who are tutoring for extra credit hours but you’ll have too figure out which one suits you better ” He said, making me roll my eyes in response. “No thankyou, I don't want any of your pathetic help.”“Celestina I suggest you too co-operate with me and also fix your manners. If you cant than I have no choice but too call your mother for this issue.” He ended his sentence. I was fucking seething. How dare he drag mom into this. It’s my fucking life not h
Sitting in the garden with a book in my hand and a pair of airpods plugged in my ears was the best combination.Hometown smile by Bahjat bursting in my ears.My eyes kept on scanning the lines until it was dark enough to go back inside. Lifting myself off the swing, I hurriedly went inside towards the kitchen.Skipping through some cupboards, I came across my fathers favorite cupboard.He used to lock his food in it since me and my mother always liked to steal and than devour it. He had the best taste in everything. His cooking was just extra. Sighing I brushed past it. Sadness washing over my features once again.Grabbing a pack of Doritos and a glass of cranberry juice, I strided back to my room. I sat down on the overused bed making myself comfortable in it. Placing my laptop on my lap, I played an episode of Stranger Things. If you haven’t watched that show than you live under a rock, my friends. Munching on my Doritos I started to watch it. Hours later, I had finished the whole
A week had passed in a blur. In which either I was on the bed or I was in the bathroom with my head in the toilet. Yuck. Yeah you guessed it right, I was throwing up everything I was eating. I felt great. My mother hadn’t come back home, she just texted me saying that she was on a business trip with the client. Just like always she wasn't there to treat my disease.Sighing, I got off from my car and leaned against it for a minute, my head still spinning from all the vomiting. I hadn’t ate much since my stomach was contracting painfully from inside but I had to endure it. Endure all of it just like before. Before I could walk, a pair of arms engulfed me in a tight hug making me flinch hard. They immediately retracted their arms and stood infront of me. “I’m sorry!" I looked at the intruder and saw Flora standing with a frown on her face. “Girl, you look horrible.” She fake gagged. “I know that already.” I sighed and grabbed my backpack from the passenger seat. “Rough weekend?"We bot
“This project will consist of partners. I’ll be assigning the partner you’ll work with and I don't want any complaints, am I understood?” The teacher also known as Henry addressed to the class. A chorus of yes’s were heard.I took a side glance at Zachariah who was busy writing something on his notebook. He looked extra handsome today. He wore a pair of beige dress-pants and a white collared shirt which was folded up to his elbows. A silver chain hanging from his neck. Three rings rested on both of his hands and a black beaded charm bracelet.Are nerds that hot?His face looked so innocent. The glasses rested on the bridge of his nose. His soft pink lips were turned into a pout. Extra delicious. His hair was messily disheveled, draped on his forehead and eyes.Illegal.“Anna and Tyler,”“Cristiano and West,”The teacher called out names. Groans were heard in the room but my eyes were fixed on something special. And that special was him. Am I getting obsessed? Yes.“Linda and Bella,”
All my life I was running in circles. Running away from everything but still spinning back to the very same dark spot which had been swallowing me up from inside.But life has some unexpected turns and twists. Some are bad, some are good. The good ones only come when you pass the bad ones.Right now I stood infront of the library, hoping I could keep my headaches at bay. The migraines were coming back and I definitely was not looking forward to it.Sighing, I strided inside looking for the same dirty blonde head but to my avail there was no such head. My eyes trailed towards my watch that read 12:45. Was I late for the meetup? Yes. If you ask me the reason, I wont say it. Looks like he ditched me. Expected. A groan erupted from my mouth as I walked too the nearest table. Plopping myself down, I rested my head on the table. Closing my eyes, my mind drifted back to the dark hole. A hole from where you could never come out even if you tried.Life is entertaining too some.A flash of pa
