Through the Lens [BTS]

Chapter 4

Last night I devised the perfect plan to dethrone le queen b*tch. On Thursday our school lets us do an open mic kind of thing where we can sing, read poetry, and do artsy stuff in the cafeteria during lunch. The sign up is always the morning of the open mic. I signed up to sing a song this morning and luckily got the final spot.

At lunch I found Erin sitting with Alex and Zach like usual. I sat at their table and ate lunch pretty quickly. After what seemed like an eternity, I was called up to the "stage".

"This song goes out to Erin who is perfectly described in every verse of this song. Erin this was inspired by yesterday." I hold up a heart sign and she rolls her eyes as she holds one back.

The song starts and already people start to look confused. I give a little smirk and start to sing.

"Easy come, easy go, that's just how you live oh, take take take it all but you never give. Should've known you were trouble from the first hug had your arms wide open. Why were they open?"

I looked at her and my smirk grew more mischevious the more she frowned.

"Gave you all I had and you tossed in the trash, you tossed it in the trash, you did. To give me all your love was all I ever asked cuz, what you don't understand is I'd catch a grenade for ya. I'd throw my hand on a blade for ya. I'd jump in front of a train for ya. I would do anything for ya. I would go through all this pain, take a bullet straight through my brain. Yes, I would die for you baby, but you won't do the same."

I take another look at her and she's furious that someone would do this to her. I would almost feel like a terrible human being if Erin didn't deserve all of this.

"Black, black, black and blue. Beat me till I'm numb. Tell the devil I said hey when you get back to where you're from" I give Erin a little finger wave for extra measures.

"Mad woman, bad woman that's just how you are. Yeah, you'll smile in my face then rip the brakes out my car." I sing the chorus as I watch her squirm in her seat, uncomfortable, unable to leave the situation. Unable to turn away and ignore me the one who she thought would be her slave forever. I used to not think every school had a bitch for the most popular girl in school but I was wrong. I can't believe I was so stupid to believe in her lies.

"If my body was on fire, you'd watch burn down in flames (A/N: INFIRES! [I know. I'm lame. You don't have to tell me]) You were my friend but you're a liar cuz you never, ever, ever were baby. No, you never were. No, you never were. No, you never were. And Darlin I won't catch a grenade for ya. Won't throw my hand on a blade for ya. Won't jump in front of a train for ya. ou know, won't do anything for ya. I won't go through all this pain or take a bullet straight through my brain. No, I won't die for you baby cuz you won't do the same."

As the song ends everyone claps. The bell rings and I start to head towards class. Walking towards me is le b*tch queen herself. She slams me into a locker and starts interrogating me.

"What the hell was that about? What did I do to you to make you want to do this to me? I've been here for you when no one else has. I took you, the weirdo who had and was nothing and turned you into something and this is the thanks I get? Look here bitch, I took you under my wing and made you. You have no right to do this." I look at her. Her face shining with tears of anger and fear. A mischevious smirk forms upon my face.

I move my head close to her ear and whisper three words, "I. Know. Everything." She drops her hands and I push her away from me and start heading towards class.

I knew that a sh*t storm will ensue the moment I turn back and open my mouth, but I did it anyway. "Oh, and by the way Alex is bi and I know that you just got with him to make Zach jealous for no reason. I know you use Logan to bully everyone. The reason I know this is because I'm not a fake *ss b*tch like you. Toodles." I say cheerfully as I gave her a b*tchy finger wave.

I walk into Aaron Lee's class a little late. Lucky for me, we've been friends since I was younger. He's been there for me whenever I needed him. He graduated in May last year and started teaching here so that he could be home but not at home. He gives me a look and I tell him that I was helping people clean up the cafeteria. He looks at me again as to say "sure of course you were." I throw him finger hearts and he shakes his head. I go to my usual seat in the back of the classroom.

I set my stuff down as he starts talking about world war two. With my earbuds plugged in time passes quickly as I listen to music. After about 30 minutes of class, Logan taps my shoulder.

"Mr. Lee gave us a project and you're my partner." I nod my head and then go up to talk to Aaron.

"What's wrong with you Aaron? Why would you put me with Logan? You know I don't work with other people."

"First of all Lex," I shiver. No one calls me Lex anymore. Not since I started hanging out with Erin. "you have to get used to calling me Mr. Lee. Second, I put you with Logan because you will make sure he gets work done. He needs some help with this class." His eyes tell me that he's asking for this as a favor.

"Okay. But calling you Mr. Lee makes me feel as though you've become your dad. Why can't I just call you Aaron? It makes everything so much easier."

"We've been over this a million times. At school, I am Mr. Lee. At home, I can be Aaron. I can't be Aaron all the time. "

At this, I whine a little. "But I want you to be Aaron all the time. Especially since you're my only friend now."

"What do you mean? What happened with you and Erin?"

"I'll tell you later. There are too many ears."

"Okay but please just work with Logan."

"Alright, but don't get mad when you have to give him an A on this assignment."

"Thanks, Lex. You're the best."

"I know. I'm gonna go work on the project now. See you later." I walked back to my desk and started over the rubric. I gave Logan some jobs to do and then got to researching.
