Chapter 15🌼

    Madi's POV

    "Miya are you sure you want to attend this party?" Asher asked as we stepped down.. 

    " Sure yeahh" I replied not paying attention

    " Well I could keep you company --"

    "It's fine Ash. You driving me here is enough ... thanks I'll be fine I'm my own.

   " Ok if you say so... if you need me just call me then..  "he said as he went to join his fellow basketball players.

    I walked around the place looking so confused at first.

    " Oh there you are" Lisa said as she held my hand.

   " Do you know where Miya ... I mean Madi... do you know where she is" I asked

   " uhh yeahh I guess ... She's with Jazz and keth by the bowl of punch.

    " Thank you" I replied as I hurried off.

     I found Miya,Jazz and keth by the punch table laughing heartily.

   "Hey! " I yelled and everywhere became so quiet" why didn't you tell me about ~BlingIt? What the heck! ~ " I asked moving further closer.

    " Well it doesn't matter anyway ... " Miya replied

    " Look you aren't anything I didn't make you... you are something now all because of me!! stole  my hair, stole my life  and all this is happening because of you"

   At this point, all eyes in the room was already one us.

    " Well it's mine now... any problems with that?" Miya asked.

   I was shocked. The whole place was still quiet buy little murmurs were heard around .

    "We're leaving!" I said as i grabbed her hand

    " I'm not going anywhere with you" she stated clearly as she forcefully freed herself from my grip.

    "I said we're going" I repeated with so much anger written all over me.

    " And I said I'mnot leaving with you. Enough of you telling me what to do ... and if you try to force me, Ill cut your precious hair" Miya responded in a way that shocked me.

    " You wouldn't dare" I replied.

    " Try me. I ain't scared of you anymore"

    " Ok fine... if you dare touch as much as one hair on my head, I'll scrape your whole hair off of your head " I threatened back

     " Well ion care what you do. It's your forehead now" Miya replied.

    "You should prolly stop this Miya" Lisa said as she came towards me.

   " Don't touch me!!"

   I felt the pain in Miya as I pushed Lisa away . Suddenly I looked around the whole room and every one was having every single thing on camera.

    "Look around everyone is videoing us" I whispered " just stop this and come with me"

   "Well I don't care about them videoing us"

    " Look it's bad for my image and also bad for my chances on ~BlingIt ~ ... just come with me" I replied sounding more like a plea.

    " That actually doesn't change the fact that I'm going nowhere with you" .

    I suddenly felt the anger coming back.

    " We're humiliating ourselves!"

    " You already humiliated me enough Madi" Miya screamed " A hundred times. And if it wasn't me it was someone else, you've hurt every one in this room Madi... hunh you don't wanna be videod?.. well when did I have a choice?  When did they have a choice?... you just did whatever you wanted and now that you don't have control, you don't like it. Well we don't care that you're humiliated, it's totally your turn now"

    " you just need to calm down and we need to leave" I said with tears already forming by my eyes.

    " I'm not scared of you anymore Madison Gonzales.  You and this stupid girls that follow you around ... you and your little ducks" Miya mentioned moving closer to me.

    "Yeah.. Miya" Jazz hopped in not understanding what was going on " And the only reason you're allowed to sit with us during lunch, with your ugly friend, is because of Madi. You shouldn't even be here"

     " I was talking about you" Miya exclaimed towards Jazz . She suddenly lost her cool and pushed Jazz into the bowl of punch.

     The whole room gasped.

     " Don't touch my friends!!"

     " Well you don't tell me what to do anymore " Miya screamed as she pushed me also towards the opposite direction. We fell unto the present table and began fighting. The whole room came closer only to take more videos and pictures.

      We drew each other's hair and stuffed each other's faces with food.

    " Let go of me" I squealed

    " No you let go of me" she screamed.

     "MIYA!!!... we're leaving "

     "Wait! I'm Miya " Miya mentioned with tears in her eyes.

     "No... you're Madison. Madison Gonzales " he said with disappointment in his voice.

      The whole room felt quiet once more.

    I was dragged  outside the room not given an opportunity to speak.

   "Listen Asher... I can explain"

    " Look Miya, I know Madi is a very bad person. But what you did in there, was very shameful"

    " But she crossed the line"

    We walked out of the hall towards his car.

    " I don't even want to be Madison Gonzales anymore" I said between heavy breathing. " its a whole different thing when you actually see yourself "

     " Well good to know. Because the Miya I know wouldn't do that in there... you lead with love... now c'mon "

    Miya's POV

   I got home feeling  less confident. I was met by Madi s parent by the counter.

     " Well well well" Mr Gonzales started" guess what , ~BlingIt ~ called and they're cancelling your interview after that  disgraceful video of you now went viral"

    " Now what do you have to say for yourself?" Her mum asked.

    " You know what, I do not actually care about what she have to save for herself, and you shouldn't either sweetie" her dad added.

    " Your father is right"... "Look sweetie" her mum began as she moved closer to me " Do you not care about your job ... about your father and I. Do you have any idea how bad this video makes us look..  I mean how much  its affecting our reputation"

    " Do you know how much we've sacrificed to develop your brand?... well look young lady... we're taking away your car"

     " Uhh..  I think that's a bad idea" her  mum muttered" that'll be bad for our reputation... like is she supposed to ride in a bus?"

    They both gave a soft laugh

     " Well I actually didn't think of it in that way too" her dad added." So actually we won't be taking away your car.. but--"

     " Look! I don't care" I exploded" take away my car..  I don't care..  I don't even care about ~ BlingIt ~  ... have you both ever taken out time to ask about what I actually cared about?!... all you both care about is your image and your agenda"

   " you were perfect for this job Madison Rielle Gonzales... absolutely perfect "

    " Well in a way you're right" I said between tears" because ~BlingIt ~ is for mean people who do mean things for attention"
  
    I slowly walked to the room with tears by the side of my eyes.

    I showered, played a little guitar, and slept.

    "God, what was really happening to me?"
