Boy vs. Girl ✔️

"He what?" Hadley sputtered, looking at me in both amusement and disbelief.

"Why the fu-" Kate started, looking at me with narrowed eyes.

"How am I supposed to know? Maybe he took 'Operation Super Stuck' to heart?" I suggested.

"But still, who knows what could've happened without those heavy ass books you were carrying," Hadley told me.

"Thank God, for Mesopotamia," I muttered sarcastically. "Speaking of which, I've got a paper to finish."

"Me too. But I got Mesopotamian resources and trade instead," Kate grumbled, taking out a book that looked equally as heavy as my own, which was currently crushing my grilled cheese and apples together. It wasn't like I was going to eat my lunch anyways.

"Ha!" Hadley smirked, " I got Greek mythology!"

"Stop rubbing it in our faces, or one of us is going to strangle you," Kate groaned, shooting her a deadly glare.

"I'm going to the library now," I told them, rolling my eyes when neither of them bothered to respond.

"Kay, bye," Hadley muttered, while Kate just nodded, staring at her book intently.

"Bye," I mumbled, juggling the two books in my hand.

I walked down the empty hallway, making my way to the school library, slowly. I really wasn't looking forward to starting this essay, so the longer I took to get to the library, the more I could stall. I decided to visit my locker to pass more time, so I slowly trudged in that direction.

A pungent smell hit me as I neared my locker, sending a feeling of uneasiness through me. What had Asher done this time?

I quickly turned the knob on the locker, and opened my locker with ease. And when I opened it, I saw bloody chunks scattered on my stuff. Of what, I had no idea. My nose crinkled in disgust, as I realized they were chicken livers, staining my textbooks and notes.

Well shit.

I immediately knew it was Asher, because the first thing I thought of was Mesopotamia and their stupid sacrificial chickens. Must be him trying to be humorous in an attempt to get back at me. At least it wasn't the lambs.

Please don't let it be lambs.

I sighed heavily, as I stood there, unsure of what to do. I breathed through my mouth carefully, as I took my phone out of my pocket and texted Hadley and Kate.

Me: Asher put chicken livers in my locker

Hadley: wtf man

Me: ikr

Kate: Hey! Like the Mesopotamians!

Me: idgaf, all I know is that I need to get the bloody stuff away from me and my defenseless locker

Hadley: Kay, we're coming

I sighed in relief as I checked the last text and slid my phone back into my pocket. I looked around, for teachers, other students, perhaps Asher or Jace. But nobody was there. Thank goodness.

Soon enough, I heard two pairs of quick footsteps, one heavy, and another clinking carelessly, followed by a high pitched squeal. Kate was looking at Hadley in amusement, as Hadley frowned deeply at the barbaric state of my locker.

"I swear to God, if Asher thinks he can get away with this, then he is sadly-" Hadley ranted.

"We're going to get revenge," I nodded, already planning the next step.

"You realize that he's only going to get you back again after that, right? Maybe it's just better to be the bigger person?" Kate asked me, halfheartedly.

"No," Hadley and I said in unison, and a small smile cracked on Kate's face.

"Good, because I have the perfect plan," she smirked, causing my heart to race in excitement.

Kate never planned things like revenge.

But when she did, it kicked ass.
