Chapter 24- Here we go
"What happened?" a male voice asked.
"What do you think?" a female voice snapped.
My hearing was distorted and I felt drowsy. "Hungph," I managed to let out. My eyelids literally felt like bricks as I tried to open them. Each time I would try, they would just flutter shut and I'd have to try again. Too...much...
"Jade! You're awake! Thank goodness!" the female voice exclaimed.
"Cleo?" I managed to mumble.
"Yeah and Cameron," Cameron said, bringing his hand back to ruffle my hair.
I tried to narrow my eyes at him, but I was... just... too... tired... I dozed off again.
~~~
"How are you feeling?" Cleo asked softly. Her face was swimming before my eyes.
I stared at her for a few seconds before her face stopped swirling. She was sitting on my black, white and pink colored bed and the early morning hues faded some of the nights' darkness. "What the hell happened?" I asked, slowly sitting up and putting a hand to my pounding forehead.
Cleo sucked in a breath. "Well, Ashley, Porscha and Madeleine might be a bigger threat than I thought. We're gonna have to do some damage control," she admitted apologetically.
"What?" I asked, very confused. My mind was a mess. Trying to remember anything was making my head hurt. It felt like I'd run into a metal pole head first.
"They drugged you," Cleo whispered quickly, so quiet that I might not have heard it, but loud enough that I knew she was speaking.
"What?!" I asked again, more concerned this time. I was ready to seethe, but my head was killing me and I was still tired. I fell back down on my soft sheets.
"They were going to frame you."
I shot back up again. "Oww!" I moaned as I put my hand to my forehead again.Too much movement. I was completely awake now. Frame me?! What?
"Here. Drink this. It should help," Cleo said, handing me a tall glass of water from my bedside table.
I took it from her and downed the bitter substance in a couple of gulps. I made a face, before putting the glass back on the bedside table and propping myself up on my elbows. "What'd they frame me for?"
"Do you remember anything?" she asked, looking at me quizzically.
"No. It kinda hurts to think."
"Well, they knocked you out somehow and completely trashed Principal Spencer's office and a couple of the lockers and classrooms at school. They were going to leave you passed out in Principal Spencer's office to take the blame in the morning."
I ground my teeth together. "Those bitches," I spat. "No more nice girl. It's so on."
"No. They can't know you're planning revenge. They know you will lash out and if you do, they will rat you out and off to Bowick Academy you go! We will not retaliate. Not yet anyways," Cleo smirked.
I pouted. "Where's the fun in that?" I asked.
"You'll see," she smirked again. "And Jade?"
"Yea." I was really paying attention because I was too busy beginning to seethe and plot epic levels of revenge.
"Cameron was there. He helped me get you out of this mess," she said looking me in the eye.
"OK," I replied, not seeing the point.
"Cameron was there. Not Will."
"Well Will's kind of in the hospital," I reminded her. I smiled a little at the thought of Will.
"Just pointing it out," Cleo shrugged.
I frowned, but didn't say anything on the matter. "I'm gonna get ready for school."

"Hey. How are you?" Ashton asked sounding concerned. "Cameron told me what happened." He looked into my eyes and put a caring hand on my shoulder.
I shook off the feeling that something about him was off. "I'm alright now, but I am so ready to go off on Ashley."
"I can't believe she would do such a thing," he shook his head, leaning against the locker.
"You can't believe I did what?" Ashley smirked, pulling up to the lockers with Porscha and Madeleine. Do they not have anything better to do? I rolled my blue-green eyes.
"Are you mad that your plan backfired?" I asked, crossing my arms and narrowing my eyes at her.
"Whatever do you mean?" Ashley asked 'innocently,' bringing her hands to her mouth in shock.
"I mean-" I started to say before Ashton's soft pink lips crashed into mine, completely stopping any effort I made to speak. I was too surprised to even pull away from the kiss, but when I finally did, I turned to see Vivian with a look that could literally kill.
My jaw dropped in shock as everything clicked in my mind. I should've trusted my instincts. They set me up!
Vivian's nostrils flared and she clenched her fists together.
I gulped. Here we go.

Hope you like it! What's in store for Jade? Will Vivian believe her? Can you believe Ashton? And I guess Ashley is much more of a threat than Jade had thought!
Stay perfectly good, xo
