UNTAME ♛ Benny Weir [2] EDITING

chapter 6 ➳ three cheers for evil

"The star is the most important position for the pep rally tomorrow."
Stephanie nags. "It has to be perfect if we're going to get enough team spirit!"

I roll my eyes.

"We're forces of nature, that's what makes a star, we may look like girls, but that's not all we are!"

I grin at "Betty" and "Veronica".

They must feel the chant on a different level than I do.

"Way to cheer! Let's hit the mall." Stephanie says.

I cringe.

"Can she be any more 'valley girl'?" I mumble to myself.

They all strut away, leaving me, Sarah, Erica, and the two "girls".

"I can't believe I signed up for this." Sarah says. "And you guys! Why would you do this voluntarily?"

I turn around to look at them with my eyebrows raised, to see them staring at the other girls dazily.

"There's your answer." I say, pushing a smile.

I think I look better than Stephanie in this uniform. Why wasn't Benny looking at me?

Woah. Hayley. Chill. You don't want him to look at you.

Ugh. Yes I do.

No I don't.

"Never mind. So where to next? Straight home?" Sarah asks me and Erica.

"No, I think I'm gonna grab a bite." Erica says, giving me a look from the other side of Sarah.

"Oh. Count me in." I say quickly.

Erica smirks at me.

"Uh... I'll see you later... Betty, Veronica." I say before turning around to follow Erica.

"Bye!" Benny calls.

I catch up to Erica.

"We've got to lose Sarah." She says in my ear.

I nod.

"Didn't you say you had to go to the bathroom?" I ask Sarah, my eyes glowing red.

"Yeahh... I guess I did." She says dreamily, and heads towards the girls' room.

"There." I grin at Erica.

"You're so lucky. If I could do that, I'd use it for a lot more than you do." She gushes.

I shake my head.

"I don't want to let it get to my-"

"There!" She whisper shouts.

She grabs my shoulders and spins me around.

Stephanie is standing by her locker, checking herself in the mirror. Me and Erica exchange a look and sneakily speed behind her.

I reach my hand to tap on her shoulder, but Erica grabs it and pulls it back and gives me a look.

Stephanie freezes and turns around slowly.

Erica smiles sweetly at her. I tilt my head and and force a smile through the terrible feeling that had just come over me.

"You don't remember me, do you?"

Erica says quietly. "You girls used to trip Hayley... and tease me about how much I ate."
