"You're kidding right Mona?" I say with a laugh although nothing about this was funny.
I could already feel my core tightening and nails piercing the skin of my palms.
"Hey, I could be totally wrong. You know I've had eye issues ever since that time with Brice in his car when-"
I stop her before she can recite the story for the hundredth time. The details were...disturbing.
"I know M. And you're so kind for trying to spare this bitches life but after everything that plastic whore did to me and a lot of other people around here, does she really deserve it?" My tone was sarcastic and I had a look on my face as if her trying to calm me down was the most absurd thing to ever have been done on this planet.
I see her worried frown turn into a grimace that fades into a small scowl.
"You're right. Let's fuck her up Aves."
While I almost wanted to listen to my unreasonable best friend, I knew I couldn't. Deep deep deep down, I knew I wouldn't either.
I'd messed up one too many times at this school and gotten away with it when I shouldn't have but now I know I, sadly, do have consequences.
But if i was being completely honest, I didn't give a fuck about those. I only cared about cashing a scene and having people stick their noses in my business, when they should be elsewhere.
"You know what? We'll just sit here," I grind my teeth unintentionally, "and ignore fuck faces very obvious and annoying ass presence and go through these boys shit since they are keeping me from,"my left eye twitches, "a fun time. Very, fun, time."
"She hasn't gone in yet...wanna throw something at her?" Mona was apprehensive but I knew that was just for my sake.
"I'll take the blame if we get caught." She clears her throat and puts on an innocent look. "It was an accident! I was just leaning up against the window and oops there goes a speaker! Right on her head too...how unfortunate."
Mona dropped the look and smiled up at me. "Pretty good huh? Maybe I should take up acting."
"Or crime. You could totally get away with it."
"Actress by day criminal by night. Sounds fun. But not as fun as..." Mona's eyes lock on the mini fridge in the corner and she walks up to it, opens the door and I look at what's inside.
She pulls out a case of beers and looks to the window.
"Payback for that one time she threw her drink on you. It'll be an "accident". Just like she said it was when she did it to you at your first party."
I was intrigued. I mean how much harm could pouring a beer on someone do right?
I jump up and grab the pack from Mona's hands and make my way to the window.
I pull open the cardboard and hand her three cans and keep the other three for myself.
"Can't believe they only have a six pack in here." Mona complains.
I nod. "What lightweights."
"You're telling me." Mona says. She looks out the window and sees Lilianna making her way to the door, which was also closer and closer to the window we were hanging out from.
"Ready?" I ask. We both got down and tried to hide our faces and poured the beers at the same time.
I hear a high pitched shriek as the sound of the beer hits the concrete.
"What the fuck!" She yelled.
Both me and Mona burst our laughing and began rolling on the floor.
"She's gonna kill me." I say in the midst of my laughter.
"Oh definitely. At least we're locked in here though. We can't get out and she can't get in."
Both Mona's and my laughter began to quiet down when we heard the sound of the door clicking open.
I look to her at the same time she looks at me when panic on both our faces.
"You didn't call Sawyer did you?" She asks and I shake my head.
I'd forgotten to after seeing Lilliana and almost dying of boredom before hand.
Bentley peaks his head in and tilts it at seeing Mona and I on the floor hiding in a corner slightly.
"What are you guys doing in here? Parties out here."
Bentley's oblivion usually helped me out but right now it was doing the exact opposite.
We were no longer sealed in meaning that-
"Where is she?!" The voice yells. The music has quieted down and the sound of people's murmurs was clear.
"Bentley if you don't shut that door in approximately 0.3 seconds we're all gonna die." Mona told him panicky.
Meanwhile i was coming to terms that Liliana was here and we were most likely gonna fight.
Did I want to cower away and hide from her the rest of my life? Yes. Would I though? Fuck no.
Last time I'd talked with Liliana I was weak and quite pathetic when she finally told me why we were friends.
But now i was different. I hoped at least...I'd definitely have a mental breakdown if she so much as said anything about what happened though.
Liliana knows things. She knows...everything. And unlike Mona she would use those secrets against me for her benefit and pleasure.
I suddenly see Bentley being pushed to the floor and a fuming blonde in front of me.
"I knew it was you Aves." Liliana was smiling and that was much scarier than if she was scowling or frowning.
"I mean you were always the outcast. Never socialized at parties, just stayed in an empty bedroom. Much like this one."
"Nice dress. The stain really brings out your eyes. I'm Mona. Avery's best friend. And total upgrade if I do say so myself." Mona eyed Liliana judgmentally and opened a beer. She took a sip from it and smiled.
"So you still can't fight your own battles I see. Guess not much has changed." Lilianas eyes squinted as if she was examining me. But not really, it was purely for show. But that's what she did everything for so this made sense.
"Well I mean you have gained a little weight."
Don't get mad. Don't get mad. Don't get fucking mad Avery.
I stayed quiet in an attempt to not kill her. But when I saw that she began chuckling I knew that that idea was out the window now.
"Still can't stand up to me huh. You never were good with words."
I grab my heel off my foot and hurl it at her face. She barely just misses it when she ducks not even seconds before it passes her.
"You're right Liliana. I'm not good with words. I prefer more of a...physical approach. Thus the beer...and the shoe...and more beer." I smile
"Wait what-" Mona had made her way over next to Liliana as she had been fighting with me and now she poured a full beer in her head. Again.
"Oops." Mona smiles and wipes her hands on her jeans before marching back over to me.
"You looked a little thirsty. But then again, with clothes like that when do you not?"
"Now, I'm sure you have better places to be. You can leave now." I wave sarcastically and exaggeratedly. But of course she would leave. I knew her, sadly, and this bitch was stubborn as fuck.
"You know Avery, you're right." She smiles devilishly. Pure evil. Pure fucking evil.
"I do have better places to be. Like with my family. Who loves me." She stops to laugh and roll her eyes playfully. "What am I talking about? You wouldn't understand that. I mean when have you ever experienced parental love? Or...love at all? Even your distant family abandoned you...which I can totally understand. I wouldn't wish my worst enemy to have a disappointment of a child like you. They should've let you die that day. Maybe then your dad would be happy. And Eva could've made normal friends and Ronnie could've not had to do what he did to you."
She smiled ruthlessly and puckered her lips. "Well, I best be going now. Have fun with your new friends. I'm sure they'll get sick if you. Just like everyone else does."
She walked away and it's then that i saw all the guys approaching. I wasn't sure what they heard but by the sad looks in their faces, I'm guessing it was enough.
I felt the humiliation take over and push my way past everyone until I reach my room.
Slamming the door behind me and then proceeding to lock it, I feel a sort of rage yet sadness that i couldn't quite explain take over everything in me.
I wanted to scream and cry and kick things all at the same time.
But instead I just rush to my bed and hide my face in the pillows letting out a muffled scream in frustration.
Maybe i'd accidentally suffocate myself and never have to speak to anyone again.
Yeah, good plan.
