My Other Half

Skank?

I'm sitting in the cafeteria with my best friend Mirabella, who just happens to be Dominic's little sister.

She's the exact opposite of her brother. She is sweet, kind, nerdy, funny, and doesn't think she's the queen of the school and everyone should bow down to her. One of the main reasons we became friends is our shared love of art. Along with a shared hatred for Alexandra Lock.

As we eat our lunch in a peaceful silence we are rudely interrupted by the sudden presence of Dominic and his little posey. Along with Jenifer and her group of mean girls. They just invite themselves to our table and cause a ruckus. Dominic just sits there with his arm over Jenifer with a stupid smirk on his face. Alexandra just sits there ogling Dominic like a puppy waiting for a treat. I start back a Dominic one of the many battles he par-take in. Waiting to see who backs down first.

Mirabella watches as her brother stares at me down and she's pissed. She always hated the way her brother treated me. So did her parents. They could never understand why he was mean to me. But hey, it's a mystery.

Mid-staring contest with Dominic, Alexandra snaps in my face in an attempt to get my attention, and it works but not in the way she wants.

I slowly turn my head to look at her, cocking my eyebrow at her. She knows that I'll beat her a** if she tries me. She veers back in slight fear.

"Do you need something? You're looking at me like I disgust you, so what are you after, Jenifer?"

"I'm just wondering why you're staring at my man?"

"You mean the crusty football player sitting next to you?"

"How dare u call him-"

"Please Jenifer, give me a break."

"I don't want him and I never will. Just because y'all are popular doesn't mean everyone in the school wants to get with you or your jerk of a boyfriend."

I don't want to get into it with her at the moment so I decide that it is best if I remove myself from the situation.

As I get up to leave I hear Alexandra mumble under her breath.

"Sk**k."

Now my initial reaction is to knock her unnaturally white teeth out of her mouth but I can't get another detention. So I decided to use my words instead of my fist.

"I'm a sk**k? I'M A SK**K?! Sweetie you're the queen of s**ts, and u have the audacity to call ME a sk**k?

"Honey, look in the mirror, and take a good look at yourself, maybe without 73lbs of makeup on? Maybe then you'll see who you really are."

I walk away as she stares at me in shock. I hear Mirabella burst out laughing, and Alexandra yelling at Dominic asking him 'why he let me speak to her that way'. Like he could have done anything.

When I glance back to see the cause unfold I see Dominic. Just staring at me with his signicher grin, what is he smiling about? I just ripped his girlfriend a new one and he's smiling? I don't understand the guy.

I just need to keep my distance.
