Sweet Revenge

XXV

"You incompetent! Look what you've done! Pick up this plate immediately you idiot!"

The same annoying voice I heard yelling just hours before from my room said.

And guess what? that voice belonged to the blond girl seated next to Mr Morello.

The room suddenly became quiet, craning my neck a little I saw who she was talking to. It was Allison.

"Are you also deaf as well as being incapable by any chance? I told you to pick up the plate you fat bitch!"

"I-I'm s-sorry Ms Chloe."
Allison said in a shaky voice before bending down on her knees and picking up the plate from the ground.

What the hell is that blondie's problem? How dare she talk to her that
way when it's obvious that what happened was just an accident.

"I don't need apologies from someone like you who besides being as big as a whale is also ugly as shit."
She said with a proud expression laughing.

I closed my eyes and clenched my jaw trying to calm down before snapping at her and her Barbie fake ass.

When Allison finally got up from the ground, struggling, I noticed that she was crying.
Seeing that scene I felt sorry for her, no one deserves to be treated that way.

The girl then hit Allison's arm causing her to drop the plate on the floor once again.

And that's when I lost it.

"Enough!"
I said standing up violently from my seat slamming both hands on the table drawing everyone's attention, hers too.

She looked at me up and down before opening that mouth of hers to speak again.
"Excuse me who would you be?"
She asked putting a manicured hand on her hip, wrinkling her nose and raising an eyebrow looking at me with a disgusted expression.
"Im the one who will whope ya ass if you keep talking to her that way."

I said staring at her dead in the eyes.
After my words and seeing my murderous expression I noticed the way her eyes widened and she started to change color, becoming almost like that of her top.

"Who do you think you are, do you know who you're talking to? I'm Chlo-"

"I don't give a fuck who you are but I assure you that you'll remember me for quite a while if you don't immediately apologize to her."
I said in a frighteningly calm voice pointing at Allison that was standing there with her head hang down.

The girl opened and closed her mouth a few times before answering me again.
"Y-You wouldn't dare"
She said trying to hide the fear in her voice without success though.

I tilted my head to the side with a smirk looking in her direction.
"Try me"
I challenged her after a few seconds of silence. Her jaw dropped while the room burst into a series of giggles seeing her reaction.

Then, when she looked down at Mr Morello I did the same and saw that he had his head down trying to suppress a laugh.

Realizing  she wasn't going to get help from him either, her face went all red probably due to embarrassment and anger; then stomping her feet like a child she walked away slamming the front door behind her.

At that point I sat down and the whole room started laughing.
Not paying attention to them I started looking for Allison with my eyes but I couldn't find her. My gaze automatically went where was seated Mr. Morello and I noticed that he was already looking at me with a smile.
I smiled back and what he did next surprised me.
He winked at me and without glancing in my direction again he got up from his seat and headed for the stairs.

Did he just winked at me?

I asked myself with my mouth almost hang open.
Then I started eating again after a few minutes, still incredulous.

After dinner Josh, Axel and I all went to my room to relax a little and talk.
"So guys, I was thinking maybe tomorrow since it's the weekend we could all go to the mall what do you think?"
Axel proposed.
I didn't know if I was gonna make it, not because I was busy, but cause it would  be after my night shift that, by the way started in twenty minutes, and I'd be dead tired.

"I won't make it sorry guys, tomorrow I'm going to visit my family. I haven't seen them in a while."
Josh said from beside me.
"Too bad. Kyla, you'll be there, right?"
Axel asked raising his head from my lap to look at me.
"Ax you know I have to work tonight and tomorrow I'll be tired."
I told him sighing.
"I know but just this time please?"
He said pouting.

He's my best friend I can do just this for him right?
I thought, rolling my eyes.

"Fine"
"Thanks peach! You won't regret it we'll have so much fun!"
He said just as happy as a kid.

Shaking my head slightly while smiling I started to get up from the bed to get ready for work.

Once I finished doing everything, before going out, I turned to them seeing that they were already almost fully asleep.
"Guys I'm going"

No answer.

"Boys!"
I said a little louder this time huffing.
"Yeah we heard. Do you mind if we sleep here tonight?"
Axel said yawning again with his eyes closed.
"Just make sure you are no longer here when I get back from the shift because I will kick you both out."
I said joking but I was serious at the same time.
"Alright. Bye"
They both said at the same time.
"Bye"
I mumbled before going out and closing the door behind me.

That evening Mr. Morello for some reason didn't ask me to go to his office so I had to start my shift right away.
First though, I needed one essential thing which was my flask full of coffee, so I headed to the kitchen.

While walking, however, I heard some strange sounds coming from there, like someone crying.
Once arrived I saw them sitting in a chair in the dark. It was Allison who was crying.

Trying not to scare her I went to the light switch and turned on the smaller one, with a lower intensity.
When she noticed my presence she immediately turned away wiping her tears with the back of the sweatshirt she was wearing.
"Hi Allison. Are you all right?"
I asked her.
"Hi. Yeah, n-don't worry about me, I-I was just ..."
She said between sobs but stopped and burst into tears again.

I walked over to her and took a seat in a chair across from hers.
"Hey you want to tell me what's going on?"
I asked softly and, finally after a few minutes she calmed down and raised her head to look at me.
Her eyes were red and  puffy from so much crying.
"Chloe... everything she said about me is true."
She said as her lower lip started trembling again indicating that she was about to start crying soon again.
"Allison, you are beautiful.
Don't listen to her, your body is gorgeous and you should worship it everyday."

I told her in a serious tone.
In my opinion her body is perfect, she is curvy but this is what makes her wonderful.
She shouldn't let someone like Chloe make her believe otherwise.

"But I'm fat. It's easy for you to talk, it's not you who have to live with all this fat on your body with the constant feeling of not being feminine at all."

Se bursted out but as soon as the words left her mouth her eyes widened and she started stammering apologies.
"I-sorry. I didn't mean- It came out wrong"
She said and after a moment of silence I spoke.

"Don't apologize. It's true I'm not the one who has to live with your body but just know that if one day I happened to have your curves I would surely love them and I would not be ashamed of them at all.
I know it's a sentence that many says but every single body is perfect in its own way and yours is among them so do me a favor and stop beat yourself up because you have absolutely nothing to be ashamed of, especially not about that beautiful body of yours.
Okay?"

She nodded her head, finally smiling at me and I smiled back before getting up.
"Thank you Kyla"
She said looking down again blushing.

"No need to thank me and by the way, Chloe is just jealous that she and that skeleton ass of hers will never be able to get the curves you have without the help of plastic surgery."

I said taking my coffee bottle from the table. Allison burst out laughing and I followed her before saying our goodbyes; I then headed outside ready to face another sleepless night.
