Chapter 3

THIRD PERSON POV

Erika was glad that the first part of her school day went great. Now, she's looking forward on having a stomach filling lunch. Its been hours that her stomach has been grumbling, asking for food. Erika was wondering why would there a lot of commotion in the cafeteria. "Kay, what's wrong?" She asked her VP. "Well, look at the counter. Erika did and she was beyond surprise.

"You want some nutritious food? Well step right here you little boys and girls. I can assure you that it's made by so much love..." Marcia winked at the student who standing in line. Erika can't believe what's happening right now. When it was her turn, Marcia smiled at her. Erika was about to say her order but Marcia shut her up. "I know, what you want."

Marcia handed a tray and an empty plate for the student council president. "Salad for the young lady." Erika was not happy at all. "Some broccoli, cabbages... and of course." Marcia smirked. "More broccoli!" Marcia chuckled and watched Erika's horrific face. "A little meat would be perfect." Erika smiled. Marcia shaking her head. "No meat today." Erika pointed at the fried chicken.

"That's for the student." Erika slammed her tray. "So what am I?!" She raised her voice a bit. "Oh... are you out of your patience already?" Erika took a deep breath before smiling at Marcia. "Oh, no. It's fine." Erika took her tray and went to her table. She sighed when she looked at her food. She's not fond of vegetable much. She tend to get hungrier if she didn't take enough portion of meat or fish.

"Whoa, she schooled you huh." Kay said while sitting down with her plate of mashed potato, fries and fried chicken. Erika was literally gulping the lumps inside her throat. She felt her mouth watering from the sight of meat. "What is this? The president hates vegetable? I guess so." Erika kept her stoic expression when Marcia placed a bowl of mushroom soup. "On the house." Marcia smirked. "Are you sure? You hate mushroom." Kay asked while enjoying her fried chicken.

"I just have to then." Erika said before started eating her food. Marcia watching the president from afar. "In time, she will literally blow her mind." She chuckled. "What on earth are you doing?" Donovan asked when he went to the counter to buy a can of soda. "Shut it. Here." Marcia handed a can and asked him to pay up. "Are you sure you want to place more coal into the fire? It's not enough you bruised her face up now you want to disturb her daily diet?"

Marcia nodding her head while smirking. "Once she's angry, I will have my reward. That's the deal." Donovan shaking his head and went back to Sara. Marcia laughed when Erika having a hard time eating her lunch. "Any moment now." She said to herself while untying the apron from her body. Erika sighed when she heard her phone ringing. "Yes?" She said while finishing her lunch.

"Alright. I'll be there." Erika hang up and placed her phone on the table. "Who's that?" Suzanna asked. "My aunt, Carmen. She requested for my presence." Kay looked up. "Carmen is in town? For how long?" Erika shrugged her shoulder. "Oh, I almost forgot. Spirit week is around the corner. The cheerleaders requested for more time in the gym after school. Is that okay?" Suzanna asked.

"Did she requested for this?" Suzanna nodded. "The cheerleading team will be coming back to school any day this week right?" Erika placed her fork down. "I can't believe the school even permitted them to have their cheer camp at overseas. Where did they go this time?" Suzanna asked. "Sweden." Erika replied. "She must be using her power to make it all happen." Kay said while drinking her soda.

"What do you expect from the captain?" Erika asked her friends. "Kay, go and asked the other team captain that may be using the gym. Give the cheer team their time that they needed." Kay saluted her president and chuckled. "Any other news?" Erika asked. "The basketball team wanted a new team jersey. The tennis team need a new equipment, they sent me a list of it already and the principal remind me to tell you about the first PTA meeting for this semester that your mother should be organising."

Erika sighed heavily. "I didn't think it through when I decided to run for president. Any other matter I should know about?" She asked for confirmation. "The school festival will be in 3 months. The drama club requested to have a little play for the day." Erika nodded while typing the matter in her iPad. "Alright. We'll continue this discussion with the other student council committee. I'm sure they all have something to say."

"Speaking of which, she's been looking at you since you seated here." Erika turned to Marcia. "We had a bet. She's trying to make me losing my patience." Suzanna waved at Marcia who's been watching Erika like a hawk. "What kind of bet?" Kay asked. "If she win, I'll be walking around school using my bikini." Kay spits out her soda from her mouth. Suzanna can't believe her face are now drenched. "If she lose, her club, her grades, her rep, and even her future to graduate will be taken from her." Erika smirked.

"If she even prank or even think about doing so, she will be done. Knowing her she won't be able to control herself when she sees something that's perfect for pranking everyone." Kay was impressed. "I beginning to think that you and that cheer captain has a lot of equality." Erika chuckled. "What do you expect from us?" Kay shrugged. "Oh, Suzanna. We both have to meet aunt Carmen today. Are you down?" Suzanna nodded.

"You want to follow us?" Erika asked Kay. "No thank you. I have to be home right after school today. My mom and her boyfriend has something to say to me. I already know what, it's marriage." Erika smiled. "Don't be sad if that's the case. If your mother like him, just accept them. But if you still want to hate the idea, you can use my penthouse to stay and think about what you should do."

Kay smiled. "Thanks." Erika was glad to have her and Suzanna as friends.

Marcia waited patiently for Erika by the student parking lot. She was freezing cold when she decided to be at school earlier than ever just to trick the student council president. Without her privilege of using any types of pranks, she need to do this on her own. She need to make the president to go crazy on her so that she could win. After waiting for Erika for so long, she finally got a glimpse of Erika's car driving up the school entrance.

She waited for the president to finally park her car in her usual lot but somehow, today she went to a different one. "Never mind. I'll just wait here when she passing by." She said mentally while cracking her knuckles. "I'll just punch the living lights out of her body!" She laughing inside. When the president was close enough, she screamed before her fist connected to the president's face and watched her fell on her butt.

Marcia was surprised she didn't manage to avoided the blow when she could easily dodge it last week when she tried them. Marcia shake the thought and mount on Erika's top and smiled. "Are you mad yet? Come on. Go crazy on me!" When Marcia finally removed the hands that covering the president face, she froze when the president manage to cover thenbruise up. Despite the blow she just received, there's no old bruise on her face at all.

"Oh shit... you manage to cover up the bruise. Who the fuck are you?" Marcia asked jokingly. "I should be the one who asked you that you idiot! WHY ARE YOU PUNCHING ME ALL OF THE SUDDEN?!" She screamed at Marcia's face. "YES! YOU LOST YOUR PATIENCE! I WON THE BET!" Marcia actually kissed the lips of the girl she punched and unmount her body. The person was speechless but a small smile crept on her lips. "You lose Erika! Now! Walk around with your bikini in school!"

"Erika?" The person on the ground got up using her elbow. "I'm Kimberly you idiot." She got to a sitting position and touched her now bruised face. "Kimberly? Are you trying to trick me?" Marcia laughed at the girl's face. "Marcia Hanson?" Marcia froze and when she turned around, she was beyond surprised. "What... in the world! YOU TWO ARE TWINS?!" Erika's eyes widen. "You actually punched Kimberly on the face? Is that how you want to make me angry? She's my sister yes, but, I don't mind if she's got punch and all. Shes an excellent boxer."

"Now, now sister." Marcia flinched when a hand crept on her shoulder. "Don't tell the idiot about my hobby. I want it to be a surprise." Marcia's body are betraying her right now. She can't run nor hide. She felt the evil presence coming from Kimberly's aura. "You hurt my face. That's not acceptable for I am a cheer captain." Kimberly turned Marcia's body around. "You took my first kiss. You should pay with your body."

Kimberly literally head bud the confused Marcia and watched her fell on the ground. "Oh sister, now she's dead. Wait, kiss?" Kimberly turned to her little sister. "What is this about walking in bikini around the school if you lose?" Erika chuckled. "Don't worry. I won't lose. Not ever. You can count on that part." Kimberly hummed her respond. "I want to punish her." Erika smiled. "Do as you wish, my big sister."

Kimberly smirked. "You'll blind an eye for this, correct?" Erika nodded. "She did punched you. Either being your slave or the school discipline records. Either way it's not going to be pretty for her." Kimberly looked down on Marcia who's pretending to be passing out. "Get up you mongrel." Kimberly grabbed Marcia by the collar and dragged her around school. "We will have a splendid week ahead of us. I'm sure of that."

Marcia was struggling to freeing herself but failed. She was wondering how could someone so girly be this strong! "Is it really okay for kimberly to do so?" Kay asked her friend. "Well, I don't mind. Marcia need to be taught a thing or two. Kimberly is perfect for that. Anyway, you heard anything from Suzanna?" Kay shake her head. "I'll try calling her again then." Kay shaking her head again. "No need. There she is." Erika looked at the direction Kay pointed.

"Oh... my God... what happened to you?" Erika asked when she noticed how badly bruised Suzanna's face are. She even flinched when Erika tried to hold her back. "Oh no..." Erika looked at her friend's bleeding back. "Is that blood on your shirt? What did that bastard do to you?" Kay was mad. "Suzanna? You're suppose to be resting. Why are you coming to school? You can go to my house if you want to go away from him."

"I should stayed until you came out of the house!" Kay was blaming herself. "Don't blame yourself. He was angry because his boss fired him from work. He need something to released her stress. I was home at the time." More reason for Kay to blaming herself. "No more tolerance shall be given." Was all Erika said before leading Suzanna to the nurses office. "No more blood shall spill from that man's wrath."

"What are you going to do Erika? Please don't put yourself into trouble because of me." Suzanna was worried. "Don't worry yourself of the little details. I will make him pay for what he did. He's done enough pain for you. Let get you treated okay?" Erika smiled. She had enough. She will not stand in the shadows anymore. It's time for her to act. The man like Suzanna's father shouldn't be alive. He's useless for bringing pain to her dear friend.

He shall be punish.

"Don't even try to talk to her when she's like that. She's thinking of a way to help Suzanna." Kimberly warned Marcia from proceeding her plan. "Honestly, you never quit do you?" Kimberly looked up when she heard someone gasped. "What does the cheer captain wants from us? Oh Marcia now you done it! You did something to her did you?" Sara was worried sick and now that the cheer captain sitting next to Marcia, she's sure that Marcia in such deep shit.

"Relax Sara." Kimberly smile. "I was devastated when you decided to quit the team. She's the reason to do so?" Sara didn't say anything. "Hmmm.. Marcia honey, you know how to make such exceptional people to be your posse huh?" Kimberly chuckled. "Kimberly Larove. Nice seeing you again." Kimberly smiled. "Donovan? What a surprise. So, did you get the older girl to be your girlfriend?" Donovan blushed. "I take that as a no. Serve you right for dumping me last year."

"Wait a minute. Why didn't I remember you anywhere? Marcia asked. "Really? I know you though. You're that troublemaker. You tricked my aunt Felicita. You're lucky she didn't gave birth right on the parking lot." Marcia sighed. "I forgot she's pregnant okay." Kimberly laughed. "How can you forget when that person has a huge baby bump on her stomach?" Kimberly can't believe how unaware she is towards her surrounding.

"Wait, who's that?" Kimberly turned to the directed Sara pointed. "That's aunt Carmen's personal assistant." Kimberly stood up. "I'll be right back slave." Kimberly winked and went to Erika's table. "Alright spill. How did you manage to make the school queen bee treated you like her slave?" Sara asked. "I punch her face. I thought she's Erika." Sara and Donovan gasped.

"You punched her? No wonder she's mad!" Marcia slumped on the table. "I wanna die. Everything I did to make her mad came right back biting my ass for it. I hate this. I hate this from the bottom of my." Both Sara and Donovan laughed at Marcia. "You sound like you're expressing your love to someone." They all heard the twins laughing with their aunt's PA. Marcia never seen the president laughed like that before. She seem confident with her twin sister there. "Beautiful right?"

"Beyond gorgeous." Donovan laughed. "You should conceal your gayness from overloading." Marcia glared at her friend. "Whoa whoa! Don't kill me." Marcia clicked her tongue. "Not you! Her." Sara and Donovan turned to the queen bitch not far from their table. "Rita harassing the juniors again huh. She's a senior right?" Marcia was about to standing up when she saw kimberly beat her to it.

"I really don't like bullies." Kimberly said before slapping Rita on the head in front of everyone in the cafeteria. "This is Larove High. I won't tolerate bullying." Kimberly grabbing on Rita's neck but Erika stopped her from doing anything fatal. "Stop it. Don't kill her. Her family will be our enemy." Kimberly scoffed. "Let me handle this." Kimberly released her neck and shrugged. "I thought you're in Sweden!" Rita said while rubbing her neck.

"I'm back. For the rest of you people who's been harassing the weak, I'll make sure to find you and bury your body under my cherry tree. You know what the Japanese said under a cheery tree? They have dead bodies." Kimberly was no kidding. Erika smack her sister's head before apologised for her rudeness. "But, I have to say this out loud. She's dead serious."

Kimberly suddenly remembered something important. She turned to Marcia who's watching all this with interest to know more. Kimberly made her way towards Marcia and leaned in, showing her cleavage in front of Marcia. "Hey troublemaker, bring your friends with you and follow me. You'll be skipping class." Marcia turned back to Erika who's dealing with Rita.

"Aren't you suppose to help her with Rita?" She asked. "She's capable of doing it alone. She's the toughest between us three." Marcia was confused. "Three?" Kimberly chuckled. "We're triplets. Melanie, well, she's not in town. For now. She'll be back when the time is right, I guess. Don't go punching her too. She's not going to let herself get beaten like you did to us. She's going to kill you if she has to. She's hot temper." Kimberly giggled. Marcia made sure she will not punch a Larove ever again. It's enough she's suffering right now.

"Why are we here?" Marcia asked when it obviously the gym. "What do you think? Clean this place up. You did punched my face did you not?" Kimberly showed her bruised face. "Spirit week is around the corner and you bang up my beautiful face. If my daddy know about this, your blood will be all over his sword." Kimberly actually threatened the poor troublemaker. Marcia actually laughed.

"This city has police and law little girl. I'm not scared of you." Kimberly stood up and looked down on Marcia. She's actually standing on a bleacher and crossed her hands under her busty breast. Like her twin sisters, she has nice knockers. "Oh... wanna bet? One single call to the police HQ, you will be arrested and will spend the rest of your life behind bars. Or do you want more punishment? I have connections that will make your life suffer out there. Don't test me old hag."

"Ugh! Enough with the old hag. I'm only 18 years old!" Marcia was actually pretty spook up when kimberly threatened her. "You're trembling in fear." Kimberly pointed out. She grinned. "Well, your friends started to clean, why not you start too?" Marcia sighed and went to grabbed a broom. "Nice going Marcia. You get us all in trouble." Sara mumbled. But Marcia heard her. "Sorry guys. I'll make it up to you."

"We'll think of something sinister for you to do. That will make us even." Marcia nodded. "I deserve that. Give me your best shot." Marcia smile widely.
