Chapter 4:Payback is a B*tch -Conner-

Authors note: trigger warning.
Contains suicidal actions.

A few hours after the prank we arrived at lunch. I'd spent the past hours glancing around every corner just in case someone from The Club was there. Luckily no one was there to prank us, but I could be certain that payback will be coming soon. The girls never would go down without a fight. Soon enough, I saw the girls stride into the cafeteria heads up high like nothing had happened. I glanced over at Sky and smiled. She returned it with a little flirtatious wave. Maybe too flirtatious than normal. Oh no I'm screwed. I thought to myself as I turned back round to finish my lunch.
The minutes flew by as people started shuffling out of the cafeteria. One by one everyone besides The Club had left, leaving us alone with them. I knew what was going to happen next. I slowly tried to secretly sneak away, but then Sky caught me.
"Oh heck no, Williams! You're not going anywhere!" Sky shouted as she goes to stand in front of the door that I had been slowly ending closer to.
I stop in the dead center, girls on one side and the guys on the side. I muttered "Damnit" to myself as I realized that just got into the middle of a war zone.
"You stay right there and don't move. I want to have the honor at throwing the first punch in this long battle for glory." Sky hollered at me. Slowly she took something out her backpack. Crap. Eggs. She grabbed one in her hands, walked swiftly over to me and smashed it in my head.
"That was for messing up make-up and clothes!" Sky declared, wiping the egg yolk off of her hand on my shirt.
"Well then. I take it you haven't forgotten about that." I smirked back at her, laughing at the egg yolk on my shirt.
"Like I said earlier 'payback is a b**ch' you had what was coming to you. Girls! ATTACK!" Sky yelled, from either side of me Claire, Lita, and Camille clutched eggs in their hands. Eggs flew through the air coming at me from every direction. Minutes past and I now had egg yoke and shells covering my body, but I didn't mind. I couldn't help but notice how hot Sky was when she was angry, just the way her nose flared made her look so cute. Ugh! Conner snap out of she'll never like you, and it can never happen. The rules. I thought to myself while I shook my head, trying to get Sky out of my head.
I came back reality and glanced around, noticing that the girls had left leaving Cameron, Brett, Carson, Ty and I to clean up the mess. But before we could, we heard in the distance, heels tapping on the floor. They sounded as though they were making their way toward us. Busted. The person came into view. Principal Grimes.
"What in the world do you think you are doing?!" She demanded staring at all of us with the death stare.
"Uh........ Nothing Principal Grimes." I replied, glancing at all the mess the girls had made.
"Well it certainly doesn't look like nothing. All of you in my office!" She directed as she stormed out of the cafeteria. I glanced at Brett. Both of our faces looked the same. Scared. We couldn't blame the girls because no one would've believed us, and we also couldn't have blamed them because of the rules of pranking. By decree of the freshman people in The Club and The Gang no one, if caught, is not allowed to accuse the other group of doing it. If you do it would be an automatic disqualification for the crown of glory for that month. Right then, I hated that rule. We should've never made it, but we couldn't have changed it. Once a rule always a rule.
"Now boys. I assume you have a perfectly good explanation. If you don't then I am afraid you are all in very serious trouble." Principal Grimes declared glaring at at all of us.
"Um..... We were just having some fun on the first day of school Principal Grimes." Ty croaked in the corner staring down at his shoes in shame.
"Well need I remind you that this isn't the first time you have been caught 'just having fun'. If catch you again it will mean suspension for all of you. As of right now I am calling all your parents to tell them what you have done, and you will serve after school detention with Mr. Dillet." She snapped at us as we grumbled about having Mr. Dillet as our teacher after school.
We all stalked out of the office heads hung low, not even bothering to talk to each. I slowly returned to the cafeteria and started to clean up that the mess the girls had made. Soon the other guys filed in and began helping me clean up. Hours passed and we were still at work. I was beginning to think that we would never get this done in time for school to end when suddenly the girls showed up.
"What the hell do you want?" Brett scolded at the girls
"We've come to see what you guys have been up to because you clearly haven't been to class." Lita retorted glaring at Brett with pure hatred. It was common knowledge that Lita and Brett used to be a thing before Brett cheated on her with another girl. Now all Lita felt was hatred towards him. No love. Only hatred. A hatred that burned deep inside both of them even though Brett had no reason to hate her.
"Well, as you can see we are a little busy right now, so if you be so kind and leave the room I would love that. One because I can't stand the sight of your ugly face, and two because we have work to do." Brett snapped at Lita.
Lita stood there shocked. No one, and I mean no one dared call her ugly whether it was a joke or not. Not because she cared, but because she agreed with them. She hated her looks. She hated her body. Her voice, her thighs, her face. Lita had scars on her wrist and thighs to prove it. Of course, Brett being the stupid asshole that he is didn't notice, but I on the other hand, knew full well that she would probably be really upset tonight. Slowly tears filled in Lita's eyes.
"What the hell is wrong with you?" Brett demanded shifting his gaze from Lita to Camille to Sky to me. Sky looked pissed. I've never seen her so mad. Camille tried to walk over to comfort Lita, but Lita just pushed her away.
"How dare you ask me what's wrong. You should know you did this to me." She said gesturing to her body. "You made me hate every inch of my body. Everything. You never cared. Never asked how hard it was after you cheated on me. Never said sorry. You just went on like everything was normal. You think it's easy seeing someone you thought you loved with another girl. It tore me apart. But I moved on or at least I tried. I didn't work. You were always around the corner. Acting like the victim. Acting like I had done something to you. I did nothing to you. You went on. You live every day as a bully but you're happy about it. You love your life. You want to know how many times I sat in my bed with a knife to my chest? Or how many times I stood in the bathroom staring at the pills in my hand? Or how many times I sat in the basement of my house with my dad's gun pointed to me head? Want to see how much pain you have caused me?" Lita wailed pulling up her sleeves to reveal the many cuts that covered her body. Brett stared down at her arms in disbelief.
"I hate my life. I want to die. You made me into this. After my mother had died you just had to make it worse. I've spent the past year thinking about killing myself, so I could see her again. You made me hate myself. You called me ugly or fat. Never knowing how much it really hurt. Never caring if someone's feelings would get hurt. So I ask you to think again when you ask me 'what the hell is wrong with you?'" Lita croaked tears streaming from her eyes as she stared down at her arms. I couldn't believe it. We all stood in horror. Our Lita did all of this to herself just because of some stupid guy. Lita collapsed crying into her hands. Slowly she opened her bag and brought something out. Pills. Immediately we all rush over besides Brett, who just stood there in shock.
"Lita give me those!" I demanded, trying to seize the pills from her hands.
"Why should I? I deserve to die don't I? Aren't I too ugly or too fat to live?" Lita cried as she tried to open the bottle.
"No you're not! You beautiful. Lita please don't. I can't bare to lose you. My best friend. Please." Sky begged, tears in her eyes as she stared at Lita pleadingly.
The bottle was open. She shook the pills out one by one they scattered on to her hands.10 pills. Enough to kill someone if ingested. Lita backed away slowly. The pills in her hands, all of us had tried to stop her. But it didn't work. She was going to die, and it was my best friend's fault. Finally Brett acted. Turning to Lita he ran towards her. Lita, realizing that he was trying to stop her, threw the pills into her mouth, but not before Brett got there shoving his lips to hers making the pills cascade to the ground around them.
