RIVALS

Prologue

She thinks she is pretty she thinks she has all it got to be the best she thinks she is perfect, but no! she is not, and she will never be. I hate her so much, and I wish she could die ,Alison squinted from beneath her green mask jealous, angry with the girl who stood in front of her She hated her so much she just wished that she could disappear she had cost her everything she had taken everything away from her. Who the hell does she think she is.

But she was not going to let her take this last prize from her. She was not going to let her be queen of prom night. She felt Ana nudging her in the ribs. "Alison!", she called. "What is it", said Alison, annoyed. "Wait! You're shouting at me you're actually yelling at me", said Ana with hurt in her voice. 'Do not forget that I am the only friend you have now', "said Ana. Alison smiled," I am sorry, Ana. So, what did you find", asked Alison. "Looks like the folks all voted for Sophie", said Ana.

"What the hell. That girl is certainly going to die this night", said Alison. The M.C. walked onto stage. "Are you guys ready to set this party on fireeeeeee!!!!!!". "Yeah!!!!!!!", they all chorused, screaming. "The king of tonight prom is JACK CRUSOE!!!!!". The crowd cheered as Jack walked on to the stage to take his trophy as he raised it up higher. "And your prom queen is SOPHIE CARTWRIGHT!!!!!". The whole crowd went crazy as Sophie kissed Jack and collected the trophy.

Tears peeked behind Alison's eyes. This was it. Her whole college life was ruined forever. She could never be happy again. Slowly, with heart broken, Alison walked away from the party and went to the school toilet. She put on the tap and the water rushed out, she heard the toilet open and close as she washed her face. Who was that. "Who is there please", said Alison. Hearing no footsteps or voices, Alison panicked. Maybe she was being stalked by a hitman.

Images of dead people in the toilet haunted her, and her body shuddered. She picked up her purse and walked to the toilet entrance slowly. Water dripped from a tap, and the toilet was eerily quiet. Suddenly, she felt touch behind her and screamed. She turned around, holding the purse like a weapon ready to attack anyone in sight. Surprisingly, it was Sophie. "What do you want, Ms. Perfect. Do you want to take my life now after taking away everything from me", said Alison.

"I need your support now, please, Alison. Of all the people I thought I could tell I do not why but it is your image that keeps coming to my mind", said Sophie. Alison sat down to listen not because she wanted to sympathize with her but because she thought maybe she could use that information to destroy her image in the school. "Fine shoot", said Alison. "Listen well, Alison, and please do not mock me if I cry", said Sophie. Alison shuddered; why was she feeling for this girl.
