Trapped in Cosco

Chapter Three

Tori's POV:

"Dani?!" I said.

"TORI!?" Dani said. Shit I so didn't want to be in the same building with her. I knew I shouldn't have said yes to Greyson's plan. Living the safety of my home to go to...... Cosco. I don't even go to Cosco when there are no zombies who want to bite me and eat my brains. Now I have to deal with Dani Johnson.We weren't on good terms. It's been that way since, like, 6th or 7th grade. Pssh, I don't remeber. All I know is that I became tired of being 2nd while everyone chose Dani first. I had to do something to bring her down and me up. So I made friends with the popular guys a grade level higher then started spreading fake rumors about Dani which I found funny that everyone believed me. I wouldn't. Then I dumped Dani faster than you could say backstabber, er, I meant easy, ya, easy. like pie. Okay I get that I did something bad.But I had to. You don't know the feeling of just being known as Dani's best friend or just that girl who knows that pretty girl. I'd rather break a few things on my way to the top than be stuck in that place. Besides it isn't fully my fault. All those people didn't have to believe me and bully her. Why do I care what you think? I'm Tori fuckin' Heart!

"Come on Greyson, baby, we shouldn't be here. How about Walmart?" I asked.

"NO! are you crazy? There are zombies out there Tori. we're staying." Greyson said. Greyson is my boyfriend. But I don't really like him like that. I just started dating him because everyone was saying things like we should date or I'm too pretty to still be single. So we decided to go out. I never really considered to last as long as it did. Suddenly I remebered the other girl and noticed another boy.

"Wait this the red head you had to apologize to?" I asked.

"Yes," the girl said," Now why did you follow me here?"

"Well because you were the only human I've seen for like 20 minutes" I said.

"What about me?" Greyson asked

"Other than Greyson"

"Oh so your name is Greyson. I'm Callie."

"Hey Callie" Greyson said. Did, did Callie like Greyson? I might not really like him like a boyfriend but he still was, mine.

"Hi I'm Tori and Greyson is my boyfriend"

"Well we kinda got that Tori" Callie said.

"I'm Chris" the other boy said.

"And as we all know I am Dani, this is my dog Cinnamon, and I really hate my life right now."

"You hate your life?" I asked

"Uh ya," Dani said, "Problem?"

"Uh, ya. What could you hate about your life?" I asked. Of coarse I knew I probably gave a few reasons but still how bad could her life be? She's pretty and smart she'll bounce back after graduation.

"Alot of things. But right now the fact I'm stuck in here with you, Tori." Dani said.

"Well it isn't like being stuck in here with you is rainbows" I said. Everyone else stood by awkwardly.

"You bullied me for a long time and you expect me to be rainbows?!" Dani screamed.

"No. But you could be nicer."

"And what else. less freaky, stupid, skinny?" she asked.

"Ya. except the skinny part. keep getting skinnier till you disappear from my life" I said.

"That's it!" Greyson snapped. This boy was finally growing a pair? Now? Really?

"Tori stop being such a bich to Dani. She never did anything to you and all you are is mean!"

"Really? Greyson? Now?" I asked rolling my eyes.

"Yes. better then never as you say." he said.

"You know Greyson I never really thought of you as my boyfriend. So you can stop acting like you have some special bond with me because you don't" I said.

"Well then Queen Bitch I'm glad I was here for your fucking amusement! So how about now we break up before one of your guts burst from laughing at me too hard" Greyson shot back.

"Cool then. I don't need your ass. I'll just move to another section and live there till this nightmare is over" I said and started walking away.

A few minutes later I found the small mattress section which was near the registers.

"Perfect," I said to myself. I plopped down on the bed. Okay maybe the things I said to Dani and Greyson were a little wrong. A little. Greyson had a point. Dani never gave me a really good reason to do what I was doing. But then she just had to be pretty. But I could deal with being just pretty. But no, she had to be smart too.I mean her parents are scientists(only ones in this town) so it really doesn't surprise me that she's smart..... but pretty too?Why?

In 5th or 6th grade I really tried not to show my true feelings(or should I say hatred) about Dani. We were bffs. I knew I would look like the bad guy if I just told her. So I tried to find a talent so I would be known for me not being known as dani's best friend. Tried doing my hair really good so I would be known as the girl with amazing hair skills. But then Dani walked in and everyone forgot about my hair because her hair was amazing and all she did was wash and brush it. So then I tried singing. Long story short I was called tone-deaf Tori for a month. Next was nail art. simple I had thought. So I did this cute flower design. Then Dani walked in with a palm tree design that she did herself. I tried cooking. Dani went to the same cooking class and did better then all of us.every.single.time. And I kept burning things.Tried art. Dani did better with a drawing of a little girl holding flowers in a mystical garden. I tried drawing a fire truck and it came out looking like melted red clay with a yellow light.

See? Every damn time. Dani would beat me out. By not even trying. I still don't know why she joined all those things with me. Was it just to show me up? She even joined singing and was amazing but quite when they told me I couldn't join the chorus because I was terrible. WHY!? Was seeing me fail and then her succeed.... funny?Well anyway over that summer I started plotting and told myself that the only way to get her was to pull the rug called her perfect life out from under her and take it for myself. It, like I said before, was easy. Everyone just played along. I guess they hated her perfectness too.I guess they were just waiting for someone else to say it just so they would have a better conscious. But they probably don't. They are just as guilty as me. The only person who didn't agree with everything I said was Greyson. He never openly defended Dani but we would get into arguments over how I tripped and shouldn't have done it blah blah blah. But somehow I would always get him to stop. I secretly wanted him to just snap and tell me off. Kind of like he did in the snack section. But I never wanted him to do it in front of other people. But he did. I still didn't like him like I would like a boyfriend. But none of this matters. Once the zombies go away or whatever then everything will go back to normal. I'll be known as Tori Heart: homecoming queen, future prom queen, and most popular girl in highschool. Not Dani's best friend.

Sorry for typos probably a few. So what are your thought on the mean girl Tori? Is she just a total bitch or is she something more?
