A wise woman once said,
"Fuck this shit"
And she lived happily ever after

IT was a dark night when Cassie was making her way out of  Walmart, depressed that her favourite ice-cream wasn't there. Her hair tied up into a messy bun, curls falls out but pins kept her hair stable.

She was walking, heading to her car in the carpark when she heard faint shouts from behind her. Coming to a halt, she glanced over with a frown. Behind Walmart, two figures stood glaring at each other, long shimmering hair covering their face.

"What the fuck did I tell you?" Cassie immediately knew that's the one with boots and a bulky jacket was Celia.

"I did what you said and I found nothing." The other glared back.

"Nothing?!" Celia growled. "There was nothing at all on her?!"

"Yes," The other replied, exasperated. "It was like her files were wiped clean."

They're talking about me, Cassie immediately thought because her file was wiped clean by one of her Dad's friend. To give her a clean slate. 

"Damn it! There must be something!" Celia snarled, the other figure flinching back in fear at the French in front of her.

"There's nothing, Celia. Her whole database has disappeared, like she's never existed."

In the darkness, you were able to make out a faint frown on Celia's caked face. Cassie backed away, her breath caught up in her throat.

"Never existed?" Celia murmured. "Huh. That's interesting."

"It's quite suspicious actually. When she was administered into the school, her files had everything on it, including her last time at the school. But when I tried to look further in, there was nothing. I came to the assumption that someone wiped her files clean so she could start afresh so I hacked onto the school database and tried to get pass the firewalls, that the person who wiped her files made, but I couldn't."

"Why?"

The other person signed, running their fingers through their hair. "There was too many triggers that can send an alarm to the police. They'll immediately link the laptop back to you."

Celia scoffed. "Me?"

"Isn't it your high-quality and I quote 'Better than your rubbish piece of shit', Celia?"

Celia growled angrily and took a threatening step forward, anger clearly displayed on her face even in the dark night.

"Are you taunting me?" She asked, cocking her eyes up in distaste.

"Yes. I fucking am, you blonde bitch." The other confidently retorted.

"Oh, you little whore bag, I'm going to make you wish you never said that." Celia taunted, scowling and glaring at the figure. The figure moved closer to the light and Cassie could make out that it was a girl with ebony coloured hair and the brim of her sunglasses shimmered in the low fluorescent light.

"Bring it own, slut. You know I can do ten times more better." She smirked and walked away from Celia, who was burning with anger.

In frustration, Celia stomped her foot and turned the opposite direction, stalking away. Cassie decided to walk away, hoping not to get caught unfortunately the girl saw her and called out her name.

"Cassandra!"

Damn it.

Cassie scowled and turned around to the girl. "Yes?"

"I didn't know you resorted into ease dropping now."

Cassie snorted. "I was actually getting some food, so if you don't mind, I'd like to go now."

"Sure you do." She frowned and turned the other way, heading towards her truck that's stood out amongst the more modern cars.

Cassie walked further away until she sighed and turned around. "Hey!"

The girl with the black hair stopped and glanced over her shoulder, fixing her sunglasses. "Yes?"

"I might need your help." Cassie said.

"On what?"

"Celia de la Rose. Who else?"

She smirked. "I don't know. Who else, Cassie?"

"You act like you know more than me. Don't get too cocky." Cassie warned, smirking back. The girl laughed and immediately Cassie knew who it was when she saw the faint scratch on the side of her face.

"You shouldn't too, Miss Diaz. I know far too much."

Cassie causally walked towards her, confidence emitting off her like heat. "And so do I, Anastasia."

Her face dropped and suddenly she looked like a deer caught by a headlight, frightened and guilty. Cassie cocked her hips upward, placing her hand on her hip.

"How's Jenny by the way? Last thing I heard was that she ran away with her druggie boyfriend on her 14th birthday, got pregnant and then came back to you. Addicted, desperate and whored."  

"You're messing with the wrong girl, Cassie." Anastasia snarled back, tight lipped. Cassie glared and scoffed at the poor girl.

"And so are you, Sia. Why don't you just help me and Celia will never again ruin your sister's life. Look at it this way, you just pissed her off so where is she going to go? To her gossip bunch and spread rumours about your sister sleeping around again, the scandal of the 16 year old whore will be first news and you, Anastasia-"Cassie softened her eyes, acting less hostile and more pitiful.

"-will be on the front page, along with your little sister. Say goodbye to all Ivy League offers because once they find out that you, along with your sister, has been messing with drugs and other shit, you are fucked."

She was silent. The sound of nothing but everything was around them and Cassie patiently waited around for her answer. But she already knew what it was.

So with a reluctantly and defeated sigh, she nodded. "Fine. I'll help."

"I knew you'd make the right choice." Cassandra smirked and walked away.

"Hey Cassie?" She looked over her shoulder, not too shocked when she saw tear stains on Anastasia's cheeks. No sympathy was felt in that moment, she was cold and that was okay. "You're just like Celia. Don't think you're any different."

Cassie wasn't even offended because while she might had the same way of thinking as Celia, she would have never of done what Celia did 3 years ago.

"I might be, Sia. But when you finally hear the truth," Cassie looked away in the distance, searching and waiting for something. "You'll see the difference between heaven and hell."

Giving one last good and hard look to Anastasia, she opened her car. "And honey, I'm heaven."
