Villains unmasked

7//Awkward school encounters//Badass//

The Monday after the homecoming game is filled with awkward tension amongst the group. Its so thick you couldn't even cut it with a knife. I'm still shocked at the fact that we are all sitting at the same lunch table even after what happened. Any attempts to have a normal conversation were shot down with a monotonous reply,so now all that can be heard is chewing,and Angela typing furiously on her phone.

On a lighter note Matt bought me lunch today like he promised he would do. Not as much food as I usually eat but I appreciate the gesture. Its one taco,and cheese fries. Again not as much food as I would usually eat. We've been texting back and forth since the date on Thursday. He's actually pretty funny and sweet;well more than he was on the date.

"Ugghh!" Angela breaks the silence with a groan. She stands up and walks out of the cafeteria. " I'll go," Leila says and follows Angela out. "How was your date with pretty boy?" Stephanie asks. I snap out of my daze and direct my gaze towards her. "Pretty good actually, I had fun," I mutter. " Must have been seeing as he bought you lunch, " she says looking at my tray. " Its no big deal," I say and bite into my taco. She nods. My phone vibrates in my pocket. Two messages from mom and one from Matt.

Mom:  gonna be home late today,I'm going to need you to babysit Lee.

Mom: I left 100 dollars on the counter for pizza and maybe an ice-cream.

I quickly text back an okay

Matt: wanna hang out today after school?

Megan: I'm sorry I have to babysit my little sister :(

Matt: Would it be okay if I joined you, i would like to meet her.

I contemplate on the matter for a while

Megan: sure

Matt: sweet ,meet you after school

I smile down at my phone and continue eating. After a while Angela and Leila make their way back to the table and they sit down. "Sorry for storming off,I was texting my mom," she explains. Everyone nods in understanding but I tilt my head to the side in confusion. "My mom and I don't have the best relationship," she mutters and I nod too.

The bell rings after a while and I make my way to Maths class. I sit in my claimed seat but we all know who it really belongs to Tinkerbell or as she is formally known as Madeline. She makes her way into the class and I smirk at her throwing her a glare as she walks past.
She rolls her eyes at me and makes her way to the back of the class.

I take out my books and wait for the teacher, tapping my pencil on the desk to random beats. If only there was someone I knew and was comfortable with in this class. I continue tapping until the teacher walks in and starts her lesson.

............

I make my way to the tree,I don't feel like going to Chemistry today, that teacher has it out for me. I sigh walking. They still haven't found out who glued Mr Fineman's things to the wall and the topic has come to a hush, but I know they are still investigating, and haven't given up just yet.

As I make my way to the tree I notice a figure sitting on a root, slouching head,looking at the grass. As I get closer I notice it's Stephanie, and she seems to be crying. I have two options pretend I didn't see her and continue with my day, maybe go to Chemistry after all, or I could go to her and try to make her feel better.

I opt for the second one, she is my friend after all. Sitting next to her quietly and give her a side hug. She rests  her head on my shoulder and sniffles quietly. After a while she seems to have calmed down.

"What's wrong?"I asked quietly,she puts some space between us and looks at me with sad eyes. "A lot," she mumbles. "I have time to listen," I say offering her a soft smile.

" I feel really bad about what I said to Leila about her relationship with Angela and Tyler," she says and sniffles quietly. "Why did you say it?" I ask tilting my head to the side. " I was jealous I guess, I still am," she says and I say nothing because I can sense there is more. "They are all so close,they aren't only lovers but they're also best friends, and besides their relationship is so politically correct it is shocking." She takes a deep breath. "I'm also jealous because the girl I'm in love with doesn't even notice my love for her, she hates me, and she's with some cocky asshat: everyone thinks they will be together forever and have kids that grow up to be as perfect as they are." She takes another deep breath and her shoulders start to shake. She's crying again. "And I'm just going to be the girl who tried to break then up, that best friend turned evil, I'm their antagonist, and I can't deal with that. And to top it all off;Leila,Tyler and Angel are angry at me, I just,just,just..." She trails off and breaks down, holds onto me as if I'm a life raft.

I start cooing in her ear and start whispering  soothing words. "Thanks for staying and comforting me," she says and looks me in the eyes. "I appreciate it," she mutters. "No problem," I say and offer her a smile. I hug her. "Maybe tomorrow if you feel bad we can go out for fro-yo" I offer her. She nods and smiles.

We sit in silence for a while before she finally breaks the silence. "Do you think there is someone out there for me? I mean Tyler found Angela and Leila and Madeline found Xavier and even Matt found you," she sighs heavily. " I know I'm not one of the best people in the world,but do you think I could find someone to make me happy just for a while?" She asks. "There's someone out there for everyone,but that doesn't matter unless you aren't at peace with yourself," I tell her. She rests her head on my shoulder and I rest mine on hers. " Do you think I ever will be?" She asks."yeah"
