Chapter 14:
The bus ride home is pretty quiet. Everyone’s whispering about what happened since both Staci and Anthony rides this bus. The administrators had no proof that it was me who put the conversation on the intercom so they couldn’t punish me. Staci is still crying hopelessly and Anthony is sitting motionless. I don’t feel any remorse for neither one of them because they were both jerks to me. I watch Staci cry and then wipe her tears. She turns to look at me then she smiles evilly. What the hell? She must have something up her sleeve. I don’t know if I’m ready for it but it looks like I don’t have choice.
Our stop comes and we get off the bus. “Good one today, Skai. Tomorrow’s a new day.” Staci says to me. What does that even mean? “Some guy will still like me.” she smiles evilly. Who cares if someone still likes you? It just means they’re stupid. I roll my eyes and walk next to Sebastian. “What you did to her was mean.” He started. “Welcome to the family.” He laughs. We laugh all the way home. All of our issues went away through our laughter. My mood couldn’t be any better.
I lay my bags on the side of my bed and sit. “Well today was interesting.” I say to myself. As soon as I go to lie down on my bed, my phone rings. “Ugh, who is it now?” I search through my bag for my phone and slap the talk button. “Skai, you need to get on Facebook right now!” Tyler’s voice yell in my ear. “What is it now?” I ask. “Staci has made a group about you and a lot of people have liked it.” “How did you see it?” I know she doesn’t know Staci. “Devin liked the page.” She said almost whispering. That bastard! I run to my laptop and fling it open. I log onto it and wait for it to load. “Hurry up.” I yell at the laptop. “What I do?” Tyler asks. “Not you, girl.” It finally loads and I log into Facebook. I click on Staci’s name and go to her profile. Sure enough, the group’s there. 51 people joined the group. What have I done to these people to make them join this hate group? People are posting mean things about me. Some say that the conversation that played over the intercom was staged. Anthony’s lying ass put “I knew she was recording me so I played along. Sorry I hurt Staci in the process. She actually wasn’t bad but I wanted Skai to feel like she won. That idiot.” My heart sank deep into my body. “Skai?” Tyler called out. “You there?” I can’t believe he’s found the courage to lie like this. I was for sure that they were both sad and lost. I scroll down the page and see that someone suggested that they egg my house for lying. “What is wrong with these people? I didn’t lie!” Tears fell down my face. What else can I possibly do to make these people see that Anthony’s a liar? “And get this, apparently Staci knows Devin from when they were kids. It says they’re in a relationship now. No more Sindy but now there’s Staci.” She says. “What the hell is this?”
Memory:
Just as he was about to say it back, Staci walks in with Devin. She pulls him in and kisses him hard on the mouth. “What the hell, Staci?” I yell. “This is my new girl, Skai. Are you jealous?” Devin asks. “No!” I yell not sure about my answer. Anthony looks at me angrily knowing that I was a little jealous. Devin and Staci started kissing again…
“Tyler I’ll call you later.” I lie and hang up the phone.
I close my laptop and run to my bed and cry my eyes out. It hurts so bad that the one I really trusted has now betrayed me. A girl I never knew hated me from the time I got here. My first love cheated on me as soon as I left town and is now with the girl who hates me. My mom is getting back to her drunken ways. Sebastian is getting into more trouble. I don’t get it. Nothing has gone right since we moved here. My life was perfect before I moved to Kaytez and I’d take it all back if I could. I would have fought harder to stay in my old town. “I hate it here!” I yell. I cry even more drowning my pillows with tears.
