Seeking Vengeance🔖

~10~ Back

She couldn't take it anymore:the high pitched annoying voice yelling something about water from her bedroom door. So she took one of her pillows -still in her sleep- and threw it at the rat.
Then the rat stopped but it came back. Then she felt like she was drowning.

Alcina jolted off the bed to find her bed soaked through and Rachael grinning wickedly at the door holding an empty bucket.

"What do you think you're still doing in bed at 6:30. Who will make breakfast? I want you out in five minutes and make sure you wake your sisters" she said slamming the door.

Alcina scrunched her nose. She hated being compared or seemingly said to be related to the likes of those two. She didn't agree with the word 'sisters' cause she didn't have any. Jane and Janice were the product of Rachael's first marriage.

Alcina chose to be a good girl today and did all she was asked to do.

But before she could make it out of the house to Rachael's car for a ride to school, they drove off. The twins made faces at her as the car went away.

Childish. She thought.

"My god, Alcina where have you been?"

It was Kris and Austin.

"You need a ride?" Kris asked the obvious.

"Duh" Alcina said as she got into the car.

"So where have you been?" Kris asked again.

"I decided to go stay with Catherine for a while" she lied easily. She would tell Kris when they were alone but for now she'd have to lie to her bestie.

"And missed almost a week of school?" Austin asked with his brow raised

"Why do you care?" Alcina asked.

He raised his hand in surrender and murmured. "Women"

"What was that Austin? What about us women?" Kris asked folding her arms.

"If I hadn't asked, it would've been a problem. Now when I did ask she said 'why do you care?' Ugh women"

They both whacked him at the back of his head.

"Wow and yet they call me the bad boy. Look at you two assaulting me" he said as they finally pulled into the school's parking lot.

"What did Rachael say?" Kris asked.

"She didn't say anything. The moment I came back, she made the microwave explode. I think she was trying to cook, still don't understand how that happened. She made me clean the whole house. I never knew a week worth of dirt could be so much. You should have seen her face" Alcina said with a laugh.

"Welcome back to the house of horrors" Kris said to Alcina as they got out. Now that she mentioned it, the school did look sinister to Alcina.

The popular kids were all crowded around the car by now. Some were happy to see her back. Others, the likes of Lisa just glared at her or made comments. Welcome back to high school.

The day would mostly be for make up quizs for Alcina. She had really missed a lot. The day was slow as all Mondays. She truly hated Mondays.

After school, as she walked with Kris to Austin's car, there was a little noise from the students  followed by the revving of engines.

Two Matte black Audi R8s came into their view. And then the last person she wanted to see came out. Not really the last person she wanted to see, but he was within that range. He was dressed casually. As he walked up to her, she could hear the girls around her - including Kris - sighing. Lisa waved at him and Alcina just rolled her eyes at this. The smile Lisa had dropped when he made his way to Alcina.
