A Sharp Revenge

Chapter 9

Instead of going to my own room I followed the others over to Jordan's room. I sort of knew in the back of my mind that it was a bad idea to snoop on their conversation but I couldn't help myself.

"She is getting so annoying, why can't she just give up, she is a pathetic human and she needs to listen to us," Ryan groaned, I gritted my teeth at that, in my head promising myself that I was going to push him off something soon.

"Don't be so mean, she is new to all this," Rosalyn said softly.

"No, Ryan has a point she needs to learn her place. We don't want her here, yeah she's new to this but if she actually listened to us and cooperated with us we could sort it out so much easier than her drama attitude queen act," Jordan said loudly, so that I didn't even need to listen hard to hear what they were saying. I took a deep breath and to my horror I started crying, right there and they all turned to look at me.

I thought Jordan was supposed to be the nice one.

I ran back towards my room, tears streaming down my face and lay down on the bed, my face buried in the pillows.

Before long there was a knock on my door and I knew that it was Jordan. Well that was just tough, I wasn't going to talk to him. Before I could yell at him and tell him to go away he was already in through the door

"Hi," He said softly, coming in and looking at me. I turned my head to look at him, knowing that I probably already looked awful, I was going to yell at him to his face.

 "Leave me Jordan obviously I'm just a hassle," I  yelled at him, glaring.

"Ell-" He started but i wasn't having it, he wasn't going to get a word in .

"No, Jordan leave," I shouted at him and to my surprise he actually left.

I let my head drop back into the pillow as I heard the low murmur of voice starting up again in the other room. I hoped they would all leave me alone now.

Then an idea came to me, I eyed the window to my right and then the closed door to the room, they said I couldn't escape because they would catch me but I felt like now would be a good time to test that theory out, after all no one would be checking up on me until morning time, since none of them really cared.

I pushed back the curtains and opened the window studying the drop below me.

"Don't be stupid Ella, you'd kill yourself jumping out," I jumped and spun around to see Rosalyn standing in the door, not looking at all impressed.

"Maybe I don't care." I said peevishly.

"You're acting like a child, Ella." Rosalyn said.

"Well everyone here seems to think I'm childish anyway so it doesn't matter," I said, glaring at her, which I knew was unfair, Rosalyn was only trying to help.

"Well you aren't helping the matter, are you?" Rosalyn said quite bluntly.

I just gritted my teeth and pushed the window opened further, "Well, I don't care what you all think," I told her childishly, "I'd rather jump out of the window than be stuck here."

Rosalyn was standing in front of me before I could even try to get out the window, she grabbed my arm and pulled me away from the window. I burst into tears again.

"Ella, get a grip. Your what, sixteen years old and you're huffing because Jordan said some not so nice stuff about you," Rosalyn said, in a firm tone.

"I'm having a bad day!" I said, feeling quite a bit stupid now, when she said it like that it did make me sound stupid.

"I know you are, that's why what Jordan said wasn't needed but your acting stupidly too!" Rosalyn told me, giving me a look that asked if I understood what she meant.
