Wonderland

15. Refraining

In a swift motion, I was there talking freely with myself where no ones there to listen to my rant. I mean, who would hear me?

It was all inside my mind.

And then, shit happened. Jana was there ranting like a crazy witch which may I add- is what she really is.

Her metal hands met my precious skin.

I thought no one was there with me, because I'm all alone creating phases on my mind. But here she is and she just slapped me.

"You really think you are so good at everything Heather." she laughed, "Like what you did right now, stop acting so smart, you know you aren't. You think what you said about us back there is true? Well it is."

Is she crazy?

"You wanna know what we thought of you? Assuming. Stop the chase Heather! We. Don't. Like. You. And as true as it sounds, you don't have the rights to say those words that doesn't make sense. And-"

"Let me say something." I hold her up.

Stay calm and let Karma do its way now Heather.

Right now, everyone was fast approaching. And by everyone, I meant that every one in the hall. The program was about to end anyway, all the performers were done and that would mean that the results are the only one we've been waiting for.

I could see Stacey with Ric, Clin and Leo- who are all having worried expression written in all their faces. Some of the people, whom I presume just there because of the heat, and because of the excitement.

Our program head was there- actually sending us a few glares, here and there.

But I am looking for Carlisle.

I want him to stop this witch attacking me and not me. I don't the right to sweep her off even though just thinking of punching her would be not bad.

"Stop acting like you know everything Jana. You aren't google."

Everyone laughed, but I didn't.

"And stop acting like someone who could throw a punch on me. I didn't even throw a punch at you earlier and all of it wasn't a lie. You said it yourself it was all true."

I touch the spot where she slapped me. It stings.

"I would have filed an assault, for you. And intervention of personal space."

Honestly, I don't know where the hell it all came from. But it came right out of my mouth.

"Some of us are looking for answers Jana. All of this for Carl? Honestly, I don't give a shit or two about it anymore-"

I turn to all my teachers, "Sorry for the language teachers."

"-because" I turn to Jana again, "I got all the answers."

Jana smirked, "Just because you are clean doesn't mean you don't do dirt."

I raise my brow in amusement, "And just because you are pretty doesn't mean everyone likes you Jana."

She furrowed her brows, "You know Carlisle doesn't really love you."

I smiled genuinely, "I know Jana, I know."

"Heather you know that insecurity kills right?" Jana laughed.

"I know, it slowly eating you I presume."

Jana gave me the best time. She keeps on blabbering out words that I couldn't understand, until Rj cut her sleeves. Our teachers were in fact in awe on what happened, every people in the room sure knows who really is Jana.

I know I would have a talk to our professors tomorrow, I know that very well. All because of what, because of one guy.

Krissy gave me a knowing look, giving me the expression of nothing but weary. Narrian, Jaclyn and Knorr were embarrased about Jana's outburst, but I know very well they aren't through with me. But I don't care.

The program refrained and everyone got back to their seats accordingly. Stacey and the guys were all over me handing me water, giving me sympathy, but I reassured them that I was alright.

I will be alright.

"I never thought Jana is a bitch." I heard one of the guys said.

"I heard the whole thing and I'm suprised Heather didn't return the favor of slapping her."

"She did great guys, she didn't lower her standards over some social climber." I gaped at the voice. It was Leo.

"Didn't think you'd speak at all." I chuckle.

"Stacey told us what happened." Clin said. On the mention of Stacey, she wasn't here. And so is Ric.

"Where are Stacey and Ric?"

The two of them quickly appeared from the exit.

"Where'd you gone?" I ask Stacey, since she can't lie to me. Whereas this man beside her giving me his best smile.

"Do you smell that Clin?" I asked.

"Smell what?"

"You know something.."

Clin sniffed, "I smell something...fishy?"

I clap my hands, "Yes! Nice one Clin."

"Yay..?"

I turn my head towards Ric, "Please tell me you didn't do anything."

"We didn't." he said looking at Stacey.

"Not with Stacey you prick."

Stacey's eyes shot us a weird look and it went wide, "What?! No! That would be so gross."

"Seriously though, you didn't do actually anything involving beating someone I don't want to mention his name, right?"

It took a moment before Ric and Stacey gave me an assuring look, "We didn't."
