Friends and Foes

Introduction

"Lola, come on girll, it's just this fucking night. You come with us and you'll have a blast. Sit in your room and regret doing so" Jason pleaded to Lola. The students of Hermont High were planning something cruel, something that'll scar Lola for life.

Lola was new at Hermont High and surprisingly she got into the cool group within days of joining. No one suspected that it was the beginning of a new tradition that some students planned to adopt. They were just looking for a victim and that's when Lola came in, mid term cause her dad got transferred.

Lola is what you'd expect every normal girl to be. Looking for friends and trying to seek popularity. She was never popular in her old school. Infact, due to her shyness she often got bullied and teased. When her father told her about the transfer, she felt glad and sad at the same time. Glad because she could get rid of the bullies but sad, sad because she was going to leave Marcus. The only friend she had made in a very long time.

Marcus understood her. He felt protective of her and Lola could see that in a few months they could be more than just friends. She just needed time.

"I-I don't t-think so. I mean I want to, but my dad..." replied Lola. She knew that there was no way in hell her father would allow her to go to a party late at night.

"Agh come on bitch. You lie idiot. Lie to your parents. Tell them you're studying at my house or something" barged in Alison.

Of course it would be so easy to lie to your PARENTS if you're Alison Smith. The queen bee of the school. Lola admired her though. She admired her confidence and her kindness and how she was the one who asked to hang out with her at school. Becoming friends with Alison was the best thing that happened to Lola since she transferred.

"Lie! N-No way! I never lie. I think it would be best if I don't go.. And what would I do there? I don't drink and I don't even know how to dance." replied Lola with her head down with shame.

Alison thought how naive Lola was and how fun it would be to manipulate her and see the drama that would unfold at the party.

"Oh god! You're so useless." Alison shouted. Then while taking a deep breath she continued in a soft voice, "Lola, when I saw you in those hallways that day, I thought about how lost you were looking. These few weeks with you have been the best weeks of my whole life. I was always waiting for a best friend like you. If you don't come at the party today, I would be heartbroken and I guess our friendship will end." Alison said so in a very kind and inoffensive way.

Lola began to think about it. She didn't want to lose a friend so quickly. And the popularity was a great feeling for her. So she decided that she had to lie to her parents. "Ok..if you say so. But promise me you won't leave my side!"

"Never" answered Alison laughing inside her head. Oh what cruel deeds were about to go on!
