Dear Lover I Loathe You { High School years}

Shunned

Genevieve was wrapped in Taylor's arms in their hidden corner of the library. Genevieve softly giggled as Taylor left a trail of kisses against her neck. She lightly gripped Taylor's arms and tried to push her away. "You're going to make me late for theater club." Genevieve said in between laughs. Taylor leaned her head against Genevieve's and held her close. "Forget theater club it's for nerds anyways." Taylor joked.

Genevieve slightly glared. "But you're my favorite nerd." Taylor said as she pecked her lips. "Nice save." Genevieve smirked. "So can you get your parents to let you come over this weekend?" Taylor asked. "And do what?" Genevieve questioned as she gathered her things. "Study." Taylor replied. Genevieve looked to Taylor with an eyebrow raised, "Study? We're actually going to study right?" Genevieve asked. "We can do other things." Taylor smirked. "I already told you I'm not that kind of girl." Genevieve replied. Taylor sighed, "Then study it is. I just want to have you to myself for the weekend." Taylor said.

"I'll talk with my parents about it tonight. But I have to go before I get into any more trouble with Priscilla." Genevieve said giving Taylor a quick peck and leaving.

Theater club was in session everyone was practicing their lines for the winter play while others worked on set design. Genevieve entered and saw Priscilla excuse herself from her group and make her way to Genevieve. "Priscilla, I know I'm a little late but I-"

"You're out." Priscilla said cutting her off.

"What?" Genevieve asked with concern, "It was just a few minutes late."

"You're out!" Priscilla shouted. Some of the theater members stayed silent and watched the exchange. "But-" Genevieve struggled to find the words, "You can't do this. I need this club." "Well you should've thought about that before you decided to go fuck around with the band geeks after I told you not to." Priscilla glared.

Genevieve stayed silent and tried to fight the tears emerging. Priscilla turned to address the theater students in the room, "From here on out Genevieve Grey is shunned from the theater department. None of you are allowed to have any contact or affiliation with her."

The students awkwardly looked at one another. Evan frowned as he focused on Genevieve with concern. Priscilla kept her back turned to Genevieve and walked away. The students in the room watched as Genevieve ran out of the auditorium.

Genevieve nearly crashed into Taylor who saw her tear filled eyes and became concerned. "Genevieve what's wrong?" She asked. Genevieve glared, "This is all your fault I knew seeing you was a bad idea." She said as she pushed past Taylor. Taylor quickly followed her, "Genevieve what's going on?" She called out. Genevieve stopped and looked back at her, "Priscilla shunned me from the theater department because she found out I've been hanging around you. I lost everything." Genevieve glared.

"Genevieve I swear I had nothing to do with this." Taylor replied. "I don't care anymore. Just stay away from me." Genevieve said as she walked off. Taylor watched Genevieve leave and saw Kaleb walking with some band members to the student parking lot. Taylor clenched her fist and approached.

"You son of a bitch!" Taylor shouted as she shoved Kaleb against the wall. Brianna swooped in and held her back as the other members separated him. "Taylor, calm down." Brianna said as Taylor struggled to get out of her grip. "What the hell are you on about?" Kaleb glared. "How did Priscilla find out Genevieve was hanging out with us you asshole?" Taylor glared.

Kaleb shrugged, "Hey I had a duty to tell my lady the truth. Her little theater assistant came on to me when I was working on getting back with Priscilla."

Taylor broke away from Brianna's grip and came face-to-face with Kaleb. "You're a fucking liar." She glared. "And how would you know?" Kaleb smirked. Taylor stayed silent and looked around at her band members. "Priscilla kicked her out of the theater club because of you."

Brianna looked concerned and glared at Kaleb, "Kaleb why the fuck would you do that?" She argued. "I told you I had to be honest to my lady." He shrugged. "You didn't think to be honest when you cheated on her the last 4 times." Brianna argued. Kaleb rolled his eyes and looked at Taylor, "I'm sorry but your little girlfriend isn't my problem." He walked off with some of his band friends following behind as Brianna held Taylor back from following him. "It's not worth it." Brianna said. Taylor pushed her away and glared, "He ruined things for me Bri. She wants nothing to do with me because she thinks this is my fault."

Brianna and Taylor looked toward Kaleb as Priscilla left the auditorium and wrapped herself in his arms. "They go low, we go lower." Brianna said as Taylor looked at her confused. "They ruin your lives. Ruin theirs." Brianna said, "Starting with that precious little winter play Priscilla is directing."
