Not So Perfect

Attention

Angela opens her eyes to be blinded by a bright light. She closes her eyes instantly. She moves her body a bit. Groaning as her body is stiff and sore. She remembers Anthony and her eyes instantly open as her hand touches something unfamiliar. Adjusting her sight at first, she finds herself on the ground. Something moves on her side and she flinches. She finds an arm wrapped around her waist. She slowly moves her head and finds Anthony behind her.

Anthony is sound asleep still having a tight hold on her. The shade of the tree landing on his face.  The breeze moving his black hair. She's mesmerized for a second. She snaps out of it remembering she's still at school.

Angela pushes herself away from Anthony. Causing him to wake up abruptly. She quickly gets to her feet and walks towards the table. How long has she been out? She didn't like this at all. She scrambles to find her phone. What if one of the Royals or the Courts saw them sleeping. What rumors could spread about her.

"Take it easy," Tony says with a yawn.

Angela finally finds her phone and looks at the time. It was about to be lunch time. She didn't sleep long. She sigh relieved that she hadn't messed up too bad. No one came by, everyone was too busy with classes.

"Are you okay?" Tony asks.

"Fine."

"You can do it without the attitude," Tony says.

"I don't know what you want from me. I'm tired, angry and not in any kind of mood to deal with your bullshit."

Angela eyes shoot wide open as she realizes she had actually said it outloud. Laughter fills the air as Anthony has a laughing fit. She looks at him getting angry by his reaction.

"I have never heard you talk that way," Anthony says catching his breathe , "it took me by surprise."

"Be quiet," Angela demand.

"But seriously are you okay?" Tony asks.

"I'm fine. Truly thanks for the help," Angela states, "now please leave."

Anthony stares at her for a second. After a second or two he turns around and walks away. It takes Angela by surprise he actually listened.

Angela takes a seat at the table. She puts her head back and tries to calm down once again.Keeping the act of the perfect queen was getting to her. Three years of being the face of the school. Three years of being the girl everyone wanted to see. It was finally getting to her. This year was the hardest, without having Kyle to fall back on.

Angela lets out a soft laugh. Had she really resenting not having Kyle here? She was going mad if she had forgotten everything he did to her. Not wanting to go over memory lane. Angela digs into her bag. She takes out her pill bottle. She takes one down quickly.

Angela stays there till lunch rolls around. She plays with the chicken salad Maddie had brought her. Everyone was tense and awkward. Maddie and Jesse were trying their best to make conversation.

Diane has stayed utterly silent since she arrived. The gate swings open and Wendy storms towards the table.

"Jesse," Angela says.

Jesse quickly gets in front of her blocking her from Wendy.

"How dare you?! Everyone is laughing at me because of you!" Wendy shrieks.

"Maddie take Diane home for today. I think it's better if things calm down for today," Angela demands.

Wendy quickly turns towards Diane's direction. Angela quickly takes a stand and grabs a tight of hold of her arm.

"Leave her out of it," Angela coldly demands.

"This is why everyone steps over her! You're always the one fighting her battles!" Wendy rants hestiractly.

"Be quiet," Angela states.

"I'm not the only one that has kissed him. I will not be the last. You hear me?!" Wendy exclaims.

Angela hand lands hard on her cheek once again. She tries to keep her face straight as shock comes over Wendy.

"Last time I did it in the privacy of your Royal group. This time for you to understand. You want to continue being the queen. You'll respect fellow queens. You understand?!" Angela exclaims.

Utter silence feels the garden. A small smirk quickly disappears from Wendy's face. Angela nods at Maggie, who quickly understands. She takes Diane and quickly exits the garden.

"We're suppose to support each other. If you or anyone goes against that. I'll be forced to take charge and call for school meeting. Don't force my hand, understand?" Angela exclaims.

Wendy turns and storms toward the gate. Angela takes a seat once again. She was getting tired of this show.

"Warning as well. Keep your distance from both Diane and Lewis till further notice," Angela demand.

"Got it," Wendy answers.

The gate slams shut and everyone at the stares at her. Annoyed she once again takes a stand and grabs her stuff.

"I believe it's been a long confusing day. We all deserve a break. Jesse take care that anyone wanting to go home already be taken care of. I'll be heading out first," she states.

"Yes," Jesse says.
