Dear Lover I Loathe You { High School years}

Revenge

Taylor and Brianna sat distanced from Kaleb and the rest of the band at lunch. Taylor watched Kaleb and his friends with contempt as she poked around at her lunch. Brianna followed her gaze and looked back at her. "You're not going to suddenly make him disappear the longer you stare." Brianna joked. "I wish he'd disappear." Taylor mumbled.

Genevieve was passing through the lunch room. Taylor locked her gaze on her as she watched her awkwardly navigate through. She watched as Genevieve approached near the table of theater members with a hopeful look in her eyes. They awkwardly looked away avoiding eye contact and proceeded to ignore her. Genevieve held back tears and made her way out of the lunchroom as Taylor watched her with concern.

It had been nearly a month of silence between the two. Genevieve wanted nothing to do with her or anyone ever since she was kicked out of theater club. But it didn't stop Taylor from worrying about her everyday. Taylor glared toward Kaleb's table, "This is all his fucking fault."

Brianna glanced at Kaleb and back to Taylor. "I might have found out a little more about what happened. I think I know how to help." She replied. Taylor looked at her confused. "You know that awkward closeted freshman in our club that's good with the guitar?" Brianna asked. "Wait what?" Taylor questioned. "Yeah the adorable one that hangs around with Kaleb sometimes." Brianna replied.

Taylor thought for a moment, "Greg?" She questioned. "Yeah him." Brianna nodded. "He's gay?" Taylor asked in a low voice. "Not yet but 5 bucks says he'll be experimenting by senior year." Brianna smirked. Taylor rolled her eyes, "What's your point?"

"I talked to him last week and he was telling me that Princess never came onto Kaleb. Kaleb came onto her at our competition but she rejected him." Brianna explained. "So he lied. I could've told you that." Taylor shrugged. "No but here's the thing. He didn't want to get back with Priscilla, he just wanted to hurt Genevieve and fool around with Priscilla again but he's still cheating on her like always." Brianna added.

"Why didn't he just tell her that she was hanging out with us instead of that though?" Taylor questioned. "Because Priscilla wouldn't have gotten 'let me ruin her life' angry over her seeing you but she would get mad if she knew the person she was mentoring was fooling around with her on again off again ex boyfriend." Brianna explained. Taylor glared, "I'm kicking his ass." Taylor was about to stand as Brianna touched her hand and stopped her.

"You won't do anything but get yourself in trouble if you kick his ass." Brianna tried to rationalize with her. "I don't care he hurt Genevieve and he deserves it." Taylor argued. Brianna shook her head, "Child you have so much left to learn before I leave you." She sighed. "What's that supposed to mean?" Taylor asked.

"It means, you need to be smart with how you handle these things. Hit them where it hurts, and physically hurting them won't get you the most satisfying result all of the time." Brianna replied. "Then what do you propose we do?" Taylor asked. "I told you Kaleb is cheating again." Brianna started. "So?" Taylor shrugged. "So we get the proof and we give it to Priscilla at the most inconvenient time." Brianna smirked. Taylor grew confused, "I don't get it."

Brianna leaned forward, "If Genevieve isn't allowed in theater anymore then we're going to ruin Priscilla's little play. She's expecting some important people from Juilliard to be there, what a shame if her whole word fell apart in one night." Brianna pouted. Taylor stared at her in slight shock, "I never realized this before but you're kind of an evil genius." "Thank you." Brianna smirked as she tossed her hair behind her shoulder.

Brianna and Taylor snuck into the auditorium the night before the winter play. The sets were rigged and some of the outfits sabotaged. Everything was set to be ruined for the night of the play. All there was left to do was wait.
