The Ultimate Catch ( A Cole Pendery / IM5 Fan Fiction )

Chapter 15

The next day was pure torture. Everyone constantly staring at me. Talking about what happened yesterday. The occasional shoulder shove. I was used to it all but by no means was I in the mood to deal with it. 

You could also say I'm shutting everyone out since yesterday with Cole. I can't help it though, I don't want to talk about it and I definately don't want to drag Carston down with me again. She finally has a chance to be somebody in this crap hole. 

Of course in the light of how awful the day it was only going to get worse. Call me a pessimist if you'd like, but I've been here before and it doesn't get better like people try to fool themselves into believing. It simply gets worse which is precisely what's happening now. 

" What do you mean I have to be Juliet ? Can't you just let someone else have the part ? " I asked angrily following Mrs. Robin around the auditorium. 

" I'm sorry Korra but it doesn't work that way. Maybe with other teachers but not me. I gave you the part and no matter if you decide to be the worst actress ever in an attempt to get out of it you are Juliet. " She said checking things off on her clip board. 

" But isn't there like an understudy or something for if I get hurt ? Can't they just take the part, I don't even want it. " I said dramatically throwing my arms around. 

" I'll happily do it if she doesn't ! " Grace said appearing out of no where. I roll my eyes at how desperate she sounds and find myself quite annnoyed to say the least. 

" Yeah Grace can have it. I don't care as long as it's not me. " I said throwing my backpack back over my shoulder. 

" It doesn't work that way girls. Yes there is an understudy but that's Carston, so Grace would take her place not yours. And are you sure you don't care that your best friend will have to be thrown in the middle of your little fued with Mr. Pendery ? " She asked and I groaned.

The best friend card, that's low Mrs. R. I have to admit though, she's not wrong. I can't drag Carston in the middle of that either. Not only would she be effected but I'd also be hurting Dalton. If she's Juliet she has to kiss Cole at the end and I know that would make Dalton uncomfortable. I hate logic. It's never on my side when I need it most. 

" Fine ! I'll be Juliet ! " I say throwing my arms in the air in surrender. 

" I knew you were a smart girl. You'll thank me for this one day, maybe not now but one day. " She said walking away not even looking up from her clip board. 

" You don't deserve the part and neither does your trash of a friend. You should just go jump off that bridge already. " Grace said snickering and turned to walk away but I grab her arm and spin her around forcefully. She seems shocked for a minute and then goes to say something else but I cut her off. 

" Listen here you little prick. You can say whatever you want about me. You can tell me to jump off the bridge because no one cares and no one will miss me, all you want. But you better not ever talk about Carston like that again because I am not afraid to rip that dyed rats nest you call hair out of your head. I don't care if Cole's your boyfriend or if your dad is the damn president, you talk bad about Carston again and I find out, you're going to regret it. Got it ? " I said seriously and she looked like she was going to crap herself. Like I said, she can say whatever she wants about me but when she brought Carston into this she made it personal. 

" Got it ? " I asked again a little more aggressively and she shook her head gulping nervously. I'll admit it felt good standing up to her but I did it for Carston not myself. I let go of her arm and walked away angrily. I didn't hesitate to walk clearout of the room despite everyone calling my name. I just need some space right now. 

Carston's POV:

I saw Korra talking to Grace and got worried. For Grace. Korra looked absolutely pissed and she's usually the most tolerant person I know so Grace must of really done it now. Before I could even think about telling Dalton I was going to see what was wrong Korra started speed walking for the door.
