Get Even (Based on a true story)

Broken Promises

I woke up quickly and rushed to the bathroom to do my morning routine. I knew that today would be different, I knew that Seaside would have changed everything. It was impossible for them to just forget what had happened just a few hours ago; how Lance just came to my balcony and asked for my forgiveness, the way in which Carter confessed Elyssa that getting back with his girl was the worst mistake he had made, the way in which James kissed Alexa without even thinking it twice on her birthday.

I rushed outside and in a matter of minutes I was at the school entrance, I called Alexa but she didn't answer. She always arrived early but why wasn't she answering? I dialed again... NOTHING! I was starting to get worried so I immediately rushed out of the car and made my way to the lockers. I looked around but couldn't find her.

"Scarlet!" I heard a voice. It was Elyssa, "Where's Alexa?"

"I don't know, she is supposed to be here"

"Are you looking for Alexa?" Roxanne asked as she walked past us.

"Yeah, have you seen her?" I asked worried.

"Yes, she was walking towards the seniors' hallway. God only knows what business she has with them and if she'll get out of it alive" Roxanne replied.

See what I mean? No one messes with the seniors; it would have been good to know this when we were freshmen that way we wouldn't have gotten into all this mess. We sprinted to the seniors' hallway and caught our eyes in the horrible sight. There she was; Alexa was standing in front of James, her eyes watery, his head held high with pride as he eyed her along with all his aberrant friends.

"What makes you think that I'll be with you?" he asked her as he leaned on the wall behind him.

"What about what happened on Saturday?" she asked wanting to sound strong but she couldn't. I knew she couldn't.

"What happened on Saturday?" he played her cockily as he smirked evilly and eyed his friends who began to make weird ooohhs. THAT'S IT! I eyed Elyssa who was already walking towards the crowd of demons and walked with her to stand by Alexa.

"Do you have memory loss, James?" Elyssa yelled to him as she stood by Alexa.

"Stay out of it whore! You know nothing of this business" James yelled to Elyssa.

"NO, we do know about this considering that we saw YOU kiss Alexa on Saturday. Don't even try to pretend that for one second you just wanted her!" I yelled back. At this moment I wanted to punch his face. The crowd went silent as James thought his next comeback.

"You're lying bitch!" he burst out.

"No she's not and don't call her that" Lance said as he approached the crowd. I hadn't even notice that he wasn't there when we started the yell fest.

"Who's side are you on, your best friend's or an ordinary-" James was interrupted.

"STOP, OK? I'm on no one's side cause I just got here but they don't deserve this. Look they're not lying, we both know that you did kiss Alexa on Saturday and you shouldn't give them nicknames they don't deserve" Lance said standing in front of me. 

I couldn't believe this, Lance was actually defending us; this had never happened before. It is a very big thing when you stand up against these guys whether you are or aren't one of them if you stand up to them trust me they will make your life a living hell. The crowd of egocentric guys and plastic girls looked at James with resentment, but he wasn't just going to give it a rest.

"So I guess you won't lie about how you woke up early yesterday to apologize to Scarlet?" James said as he walked towards Lance. His friends eyed him as in asking if this was true, "Yes people, this guy right here went to her balcony and did the most idiotic thing he could do; apologize to her" James said as he pointed at me. James walked over to Lance, who at the moment was still standing in front of me as in guarding us, and whispered loudly, "remember mate, bros before hoes".
