A week after receiving the note Kendall strutted down the hallway.
"Hey Kendall! Love your outfit!"
"Hey Kendall! Like my new Instagram post!"
"Hey Paige! Is that a Chanel handbag?"
Kendall didn't expect that last comment. "Yes it is! My dad got it for me a month ago!" The girls walked on in silence, not sure what to say. Kendall had been jumpy and quiet all week and Paige had texted her multiple times asking her what's wrong, inviting her to parties and trying to face time her.
"So... Who are you taking to Gala?" Paige said. Kendall had completely forgotten about the school dance and searched her brain for an answer. "Well, I've had a crush on Josh so," Kendall shrugged. In the back of her head, a little voice kept whispering, 1000 words, then you're gone.
"Really Kendall? My brother? Wow, way to make it awkward!" Paige said rolling her eyes. Kendall lowered her head and Paige playfully punched her on the shoulder. "I'm just kidding, love," Kendall gave a quick smile.
"Who are you taking?" Kendall questioned. Paige said some guy named Nick Dobbs. Kendall just kept trying to focus and strut down the halls like a true popular girl. "Hey Kendall! Can I talk to you for a sec?" Kendall looked and saw Brynn, the nerd who threatened her last week.
"I'll meet you at lunch, bye Paige!" Kendall blew a kiss and walked over to Brynn. Kendall thought that she was going to apologise to her because she didn't want to make an enemy with her.
"Listen, Kendall. I meant what I said last week; we know why you wanted to become popular and leave our friend group. And we're not afraid to share it. Toodles, honey!" Brynn said mimicking Kendall by blowing a kiss.
Kendall stood dumbfounded by Brynn's locker. Her anxiety was through the roof. What if she really does tell everyone? What if my biggest secret is revealed?

"Alright class, before the bell goes I'm going to give your test results back!-" many groans interrupted Kendall's maths teacher. Kendall was praying that Brynn's answers were correct.
"Chloe East!" The destroyed girl slowly grabbed her test paper. Everyone associated her with zombies because her actions were like them. "Taylor Nunez!" The other ex-leader strutted up to the teachers desk and grabbed her test. She was not giving up on her popularity and she hated Kendall and Paige as they took her spot.
"Brynn Rumfallo!" The little blonde straightened her skirt and took her test. "Thank you," she said before returning to her desk. Brynn looked discouraged at her test score and Kendall was petrified. "What's wrong?" Kendall asked sweetly. Brynn glared at her. "I always get above ninety percent and-" she was interrupted by Kendall's name being called out. She shakily rose from her desk and tried to look confident.
The teacher looked impressed at her test result. "Good job Kendall!" He said, handing her test back. She searched for her result and finally found it. 90% A Kendall smiled with glee. Brynn peered at her result. "Hey, looks like we got the same. Who would've thought?" Brynn rolled her eyes. "I know what you did," she whispered. She said it so quietly Kendall didn't even hear.

Kendall waited for her moms car to pick her up. "Hey!" Kendall turned around and was meet with Josh. Kendall tried not to dreamily sigh as she replied a hey that sounded like a demented chipmunk. "So, I was wondering if you wanna go to the dance with me?" Josh smiled. Kendall nodded excitedly then said, "uh- I mean- yeah-duh-obvs-eh!" He gave her a confused look, but he brushed it off then smiled back at her. "I'll pick you up at six," he turned around and walked off.
Kendall sighed as she hopped into her moms car.

Josh rolled his eyes at the stupid girl. How gullible, he thought. He saw a figure in all black and casually walked over. He got closer so only the figure could hear him. "So she said yes, can I have my reward?" Josh held out his hand and the figure gave him a thousand dollars in cash.
"Remember the plan?" The figure said. "Like the back of my hand," he said before walking to the bus lines. "Yo bro! I heard you got a date with Kendall! That's sweet bro man, I can visualise me and her-" Josh zoned out as he remembered his deal with the devil.
***
"Do your homework Kendall! I'll see if you can go to the dance later," Kendall danced up the stairs then dramatically flopped on her bed. She sighed as she visualised herself in a beautiful dress waltzing with Josh. She eventually got up and did some of her homework before she was interrupted by a figure in all black.
Kendall's eyes widened and she bit off a scream. The figure in all black laughed at the girls foolessness. "Kendall. Pleasure," a robotic voice said covering up the figures real voice. "What do you want?" Kendall said shakily. "Well, look who's scared now?" They laughed.
"Can you at least give me a clue to who you are?" She asked desperately. The figure thought, then looked back at her. "I see you everyday, you see me everyday, you are scared of me, I'm not scared of you. And I was one of your best friends, but you have changed, so we stopped." Kendall's brain ticked as she ran to pull the figures face mask off.
The figure moved and Kendall ran straight into her dresser. She had hit her head pretty badly and the room was looking a bit foggy. She staggered up and tried to rip the mask off again. "You were always weak, Kendall. You never knew how to stand up for yourself. Sure, you said you would but seriously, you were a wimp and never did. That's why Jaycee picked on you, because you let her. Because you were vulnerable and weak," the figure finished and grabbed Kendall's arm. They twisted it until she fell backwards and hit her head again.
She used her last bit of strength to reach for the note.
232 words, then you're gone. Maybe you should stop spreading so many lies and then you'd be able to live:)
