Chapter 21 The Blair B*tch Project

Chapter 21 ~ The Blair Bitch Project

There were many times that I could have stopped Phoebe from crossing the line. She gets a high by bullying people. I know what she is doing but I did not do anything to stop her. If anything, I was an accessory to most of her crimes and I hated myself for that. I thought I was being a good friend by condoning her shenanigans.

When I was with Jonas, who is so kind and caring to everyone, I realized all my mistakes. I felt so guilty. I started speaking out whenever Phoebe is bullying someone. She didn't like it and it started many fights between us. Her jealousy on my blossoming romance with Jonas was the last straw. My friendship with Phoebe is over. I spent a whole year fighting back her slander and apologizing to people I have hurt in the past.

I do not remember apologizing to Blair Sawyer. 

I did not hurt her. Phoebe did. I do not see why I should apologize. Thinking about it, maybe I should have. I did not stop Phoebe from releasing that video. My sin of omission.

I knew Blair from school. Our families also belong to the same social circle. I remember that she has always been bullied. She was chided for her weight mostly. She is on the heavy side. She is also somewhat quiet and insecure.

Blair has always been nice to me in the few times that I got around her. I was also not a 'natural' bully (you know, someone who hurts people just for the heck of it) so I was also nice to her. I could have done more, like maybe really befriend her and chat her up more often but Phoebe would not like it.

I don't know what Phoebe has against her. Phoebe has always hated her and would always pick on her. Then again, Phoebe is always like that to almost everyone.

Phoebe's bullying came to a point where she bribed her cousin, Alec, to make Blair fall for him. Poor, naive Blair bit the bait. She did fall for Alec and became one of his conquests. Everything is a game to that boy and with Phoebe dangling a very good reward, he chose to play along.

Unbeknownst to Blair, her private moments with Alec were recorded. Phoebe released the private videos. Blair was made a laughing stock and was insulted no end. Girls who were after Alec ganged up on Blair. They cannot accept that gorgeous Alec would fall for plain, unattractive Blair. Alec denied his relationship with her too. Humiliated and alone, Blair tried to end her life.

I knew about the videos and I tried to stop Phoebe from releasing them to the public. This was also one of the times I fought with Phoebe. She hates it when I disagree with her. 

I felt guilty about what happened to Blair but I let myself believe that I was not at fault just because I did not do anything. It did not help because I know I could have done more.

Then it hit me. Phoebe should be given a dose of her own medicine... the Blair kind of medicine in a massive dose. 

My plan is taking shape. Phoebe will be so proud of me. She taught me well. Except, this plan will bite her in the ass...big time.

I am meeting Blair today.

A common friend kindly set up an appointment for us to meet. This is an opportunity for me to apologize and also to gain a possible ally. No one could hate Phoebe more than Blair.

I have been waiting for almost an hour. I have downed two glasses of iced tea and a slice of pie just so I can hang out here. I dislike waiting. 

When a svelte redhead came in the restaurant, everyone stared in awe including myself.  The young woman is a slimmer version of Christina Hendricks. She strutted like she owns the place. She has so much self confidence and rightly so because she is gorgeous and she knows it.
