Chapter 5

     Chloe sat in her car, slowly sipping on her Starbuck’s Carmel Macchiato, while asking herself again why in the hell she was sitting here in front of the school at six in the morning.   If she had any brains left in her head, then she would be in her own bed right now, with the cover pulled over her head and snoring blissfully away.  Isn't that was most normal girls her age do at the crack of dawn?

     But no sooner than she asked herself that very question, the answer came to her.

     Mr. Player, himself, walked around the corner of the school with that horrible looking orange vest on, picking up random trash out of the parking lot.

     Oh yeah, now she why remembered why she dragged herself out of the bed this morning.

     She had come to watch Justin suffer with his morning detention after the Principal had walked up on his little sexual education mess- or more like her own special handy work.  

     She couldn't help but grin at the way he stumbled over the parking lot, grumbling the whole time.  To say that he didn't look happy, was putting it mildly.  He looked a bit like an Ogre from that move Shrek who had just been sentenced to take a bath, she thought amusingly.

     She watched him bitterly kick a rock across the pavement, and then afterwards he lifted his head and their eyes met, locking onto each other.  

     For a long minute neither of the two blinked, nor moved.  They were both frozen there in the realm of time, staring back at each other, waiting for the first one to break.    

     Justin then knitted his brow and a fierce scowl appeared on his face.  He pointed his finger in Chloe's direction and made a long cutting motion with his hand, drawing it across his neck.  

     She snorted out loud and shook her head back at him.  The entire time she was thinking: go ahead big boy, make my day.

     She had no doubts that the guy was going to come back at her in some sort of way or fashion.  He would never be able to pass up on a chance to humiliate her further.  The only question she had, was the when of it.  

     Everywhere she went, she remained on full scale alert.  She kept her eyes open while waiting for him to make his all important move.   Eventually it was going to come and probably sooner than later.  She wasn't the least bit delusional to that very fact.  She knew what she had done; what it was that she had started.  She had tempted the beast and now it was high time, that said beast be tamed.

     After everything that her cousin had been through, Erica deserved to at least be able to get her honor back if nothing else.  One way or the other, Chloe was determined to claim it and she would either get it or she would die trying.

     She took another sip of her coffee and continued to watch on as Justin turned away from her and went back to work, cleaning up the school grounds.  She couldn't help that another grin tugged at the edges of her lips at the sight Mr. Almighty himself bending over, picking up an empty Gatorade bottle and forcefully stuffing it in the brown plastic bag that he had tied to his hip.
