They Call Me Emo Girl

Chapter 26: Pathetic Threats And Hacking Security

It's now Wednesday and I'm growing more impatient with school. It had been a while since Anna had done anything to me and I guess she noticed it too. Yesterday at the end of the day I went to my locker to get rid of the things I didn't need. As soon as I opened my locker a piece of paper floated out and onto the floor in front of me. Now it wasn't the first time I had gotten notes in my locker, they were usually just hate notes telling me of how 'emo' I am or that I should kill myself.

Thinking nothing of it I picked it up after I put my stuff in my locker and shoved it in my pocket as I left the school building and began to walk home. The weather hasn't been too hot lately so I wanted to get some fresh air. Once I had gotten home I greeted my mom and told her that I was going to work on homework in my room and to call me when dinner was ready.

I closed my door and turned to my bed expecting to see Cyan but quickly remembered that she had went home to grab some things and said she was going to be back tomorrow (A/N which would be today, in case anyone's confused). Tossing my bag onto my bed I plugged in my phone and turned on my music. I laughed a little to my self as I remembered that Marilyn Manson's cover of 'This is Halloween' was the first song to come on.

Remembering the note I had decided to open it and see what kind of hate I was getting, and to say that I was wrong would be a slight understatement. The note was in fact a kind of letter and it said:

Stupid Emo Girl,

I see that you've been making some friends, how cute. But don't think that they can help you. You're still a disgusting emo freak and nothing will change that. I've tried to be nice and offer you a deal with you quitting the talent show. You don't have any talent anyways. You've left me no choice, remember I still know about your little not so legal relationship. Quit the talent show and I just might not hurt you. But tell anyone of this, and I won't be so nice.

I woke up this morning and dreaded going to school. I didn't tell anyone about the letter yet, not even Aspen when he showed up this morning to drive me to school. We haven't gotten to spend time with each other lately and I couldn't tell him when he gave me a breathtaking smile. Before I had gotten out of his car when we pulled up in front of the school, he took my hand and asked if he could take me out on Friday. I felt my heart flip inside my chest and told him I would love nothing more.

Now I'm sitting with Cyan and Nikki against a tree in the back field of the school. The letter in my pocket almost burning a hole through my hand. I wanted to tell them but I had to make sure that they wouldn't tell Aspen.

"Ryder? What's the matter? You're so deep in thought you didn't even notice when Cyan threw grass all over you."

Looking down I saw that she did in fact throw grass on me. I guess I was thinking pretty hard. Shrugging my shoulders I decided to tell them.

"I'm going to tell you guys something, but you have to promise that you won't say anything to Aspen. I don't want him to worry about anything and I don't want it to affect our plans on Friday."

"Ok first, we promise because this must be serious. Second, what plans on Friday?"

I ignored her last question and decided to just let them read the note for themselves. I handed it over to them and told them I found it in my locker yesterday. Nikki gasped in shock while Cyan just looked pissed.

"I'm so sick of her pathetic threats! You're almost 18, your relationship with Aspen isn't even really illegal! All of this over a stupid talent show?! What the fuck?!"

"I agree with Cyan, she doesn't really have any 'dirt' on you at all. The only thing that's making her a fucking problem at all is the fact that she's a crazy bitch who likes to hurt you!"

It was quite for a minute as they tried to calm down. I'm so grateful to have friends that care so much like they do. As I was going to tell them that it was fine Cyan suddenly jumped up and smiled.

"This is fine, we can use this. We can use this letter to get her in trouble and possibly charged. After all she is threatening you and it's not hard to get more proof."

"Cyan that won't really work. You're forgetting something."

"What?"

"She didn't sign her name on the letter."

"Fuck, you're right! Wait, wait, ok. The school has cameras right? All we gotta do is hack into the system and find the footage of her putting it in your locker. If she didn't want anyone to know about the note then she would of had to put it in there herself."

It was a good idea. Except for a tiny little problem, I don't think that any of us knows anything about hacking into a security system.

"Cyan whose gonna hack the system? I don't know shit about hacking, so unless one of you knows then we're fucked."

Nikki smirked and raised her hand waiting on me to address her as though we were in a classroom. Chuckling I nodded for her to speak.

"I know a computer geek whose great at hacking and happens to owe me a favor."

We all laughed at how bad that could sound and leaned back against the tree. Lunch was almost over and we fell into a comfortable silence. I was drawn to the sound of Cyan suddenly asking me a question.

"So what are these plans you've got going on this Friday?"

She wiggled her eyebrows and we all laughed just as the bell rang.
