031

People are watching, gathered in half a circle with two people in the middle i can't see.

Mona pushes her way through looking eager and i just keep trailing behind her till we reach an opening and i have a perfect view of the scene before me.

Jenna Marbles is pressed up against the wall, her huge glasses threatening to fall of her nose, her expression sore as the familiar red haired diva corners her.

"you don't want to test me " Sarah Jones says to the raven haired nerd she has locked in her paws in what's supposed to be a threatening tone.

Before i know it Mona is right between them pushing Sarah a distance away from her best friend with a fierce expression. Gone was the little shy nervous girl i just met, replaced with something fiery and pissed.

"of course Mercy, no one ever wants to test you because they'll get six feet under, we know, now how about you shoo off and go whore around or something " i can't believe my ears, Mona glares at the taller much bustier red head.

Mercy? Why did she call her Mercy?

"don't butt in Mona, this is none of your business !" Sarah looks angry. Her cheeks are hot red, her breath coming out a little bit raged as she glares at Mona equally as hard.

The attention they're getting now is way more than it was before. High school students are just a bunch of nosey, gossip thirsty, annoying little shits.

"it is, if you're always harassing my friend "

"your friend? " she smirks "how do i always almost forget that saying, was it 'birds of a feather flock together '? , two worthless low lives like you would understand "

In a blink of an eye, Mona moves so quickly and lands a sounding slap across the diva's face causing a number of gasps around the crowd, said victim, and myself.

Sarah lands on the floor due to the friction, looking like she was about to cry and murder someone at the same time.

"find someone else to bully Mercy, because I'm not going to sit ideal behind and watch you bitch around! "

I'm tongue tied. Really speechless.

"you bitch!" Sarah yells about to lunch at Mona but some people hold her back and just in time the librarian stops in the middle of the crowd with Mrs Sharon, the vice principal.

"what is going on here? "

"she hit me! That bitch hit me! "Sarah immediately strikes pretending to have been deeply hurt. Seriously! What do guys actually find attractive about this girl?

Mona doesn't bother denying it. She simply shrugs looking uncomfortable again. Her eyes fall to the ground as she bows her head not bothering to defend herself.

"is this true Miss Jones? " Mrs Sharon asks.

Miss Jones? They're sisters?

My eyes trail closely at Sarah, and then to Mona and indeed they look awfully alike, only difference is Sarah doesn't have freckles like Mona, and Sarah is the ticker and much bustier version of her sister.

"yes "Mona whispers lowly.

The VP frowns looking disappointedly at her "I'm sorry but I'm going to have to put you on detention "

Mona nods and Sarah frowns "just detention? "she looks furious but Mrs Sharon doesn't even spare her a glance.

"i suggest you start behaving more mannered now Mona, i would hate to witness a situation like this again "

Mona nods and the VP walks away with the librarian behind her. Sarah still looks like someone stole her $100,000 worth designer bag "well have fun in detention " she storms away.

Mona turns to her friend "are you okay? "

Jenna nods, "you didn't have to do that "

"but i did " she looks behind her and notices a lot of students are still tagging on to look behind the scenes. "the fuck are you all still staring at !"

If i had any doubts before about liking her enough to be with Kyle, they're completely gone now because this girl is one hell of a kind.

They start to scurry around until no one is left but me.

She looks at me and it's like a light bulb just turned on in her head. "shit! Sorry, i didn't mean for you to witness that "

"it's no problem. I'm actually really surprised. I wasn't expecting you to be that... "

"out spoken? "

"something like that "

"i get that all the time "she looks down at the ground "i have a... Temper "

I nod "she's your sister? "

"yeah " a crease forms between her brows. "we don't get along "

Well that much is pretty obvious. With the way they were cussing at each other, one would think they are mutual enemies and not blood relatives. I can relate to the feeling.

"why did you call her Mercy? "

"it's her middle name, that's what my mum calls her and she hates it "

Jenna looks at me, i expect her to cringe and immediately advise her friend not to speak to me ever again, but instead she smiles "hi lexa "

Huh?

"i thought you hate me? "i ask.

She rolls her eyes. "that doesn't mean i can't say hi. We're not enemies "

Oh.

"by the way, i don't hate you, i never did, i just hated the fact that you always got all the competitions and higher game points that i wanted back in eleventh grade "

Oh.

"you were jealous? "

"i wouldn't say jealous "

"but why? You're extremely smart and talented, why would you ever be jealous of me? "i ask.

"because whatever i had, you had it better "she shrugs "and i guess i just needed to give myself a rival to get more riled up.

Mona chuckles. "she used to get giters whenever there was an upcoming quiz or something. She'll be saying things like 'i have to win, i can't loose to her again! Did you see her the last time? There's no way I'm going to beat her! ' and then when you dropped all your competitions, she practically screamed in my ears for a good five minutes because now she won't have to go gaga anymore and those competitions would help in her scholarship application "

"shut up! " Jenna steps on her foot and Mona keeps laughing at her.

We all walk down to our various lockers as Mona and Jenna keep battering at each other. I smile seeing how easy going she is around her friend.

"shut up you're abnormal "Jenna says.

"slow down missy, you don't want to be in for some more ass whooping tonight "

I chuckle lightly at that and come to a halt when i hear his voice.

"lex! "

I turn around, a huge grin on my face as Kyle walks up to me with his hair a mess, one hand buried in his jean pockets and the other holding the bag thrown across his shoulder.

"where have you been? "i ask.

It's a few minutes left before school hours are over. Our last period was chemistry and surprisingly Mrs grumpy didn't show up because she caught a fever so we had it free, which is why i went over to the library but Kyle never even showed up to the class to begin with.

His smile lessens, "you don't want to know " he looks behind me to the two smallish girls that are staring at him in fascination.

"hello ladies "

One adjusts her glasses and smiles shyly at him while the other has her eyes glued to the ground, her fingers fidgeting with each other "h-hi... Um..."

His arrogant smirk shows he knows exactly what he's doing to them "I'm Kyle Lorenzo " the way the word 'Lorenzo ' rolls off his tongue in the fake English accent he uses whenever he wants to get girls swooning makes me scoff loudly. But the sad part is it actually works.

Mona is blushing a deep red and Jenna doesn't say anything "y-yeah, i, i uh... I k-know "

The loud ringing from my phone drowns me out in whatever obvious flirting was going on here.

Just a look at the callers ID drops my mood gravely and i wander why he would be calling me.
