The Other Side of the Story

Chapter 22

Everything went smoothly after that day. We were now back to school and Operation Make Lavender The Cliché Queen Bee was a go. Becky and I had a short meeting before coming to school. Micale was picking me up and Becky would go to school earlier than us.

Micale and I are on good terms and were sweeter than ever. We didn’t care about what people said but I had an image to keep. He was briefed on the situation and though he doesn’t agree he was willing to accept it for me.

It was fine to disclose our relationship to others. Surely, we could make a rumor spread before another one does. It’s fine as long as I had a bad reputation.

So here I am with Micale riding to school. We were singing to the song on the radio. We were so carefree that I was having so much fun but we couldn’t be dillydallying because we’re going to be late if we don’t hurry up.

“Micale! We’re going to be late if we keep up this pace!” I whined.

“Don’t worry princess. We’ll get there in time.” He was trying to stop my whining.

“But I have a plan to deliver!” I was throwing my hands up in the air and stomping my feet like a child.

He sighed and pressed on the gas. We were going fast and way over the limit but he didn’t stop. He just kept going. I was happy that he was following my wish but I was terrified if a police catches us. Micale had a stoic face and I didn’t know whether he as angry or annoyed. I was holding onto the headboard for dear life.

Five minutes later I was panting and was scared to death. “MY GOSH! You didn’t have to go as far as killing us!” I shouted.

“Well, you wanted to hurry up so I delivered! You’re still alive aren’t you?” He shouted back. This was the first time I saw him angry.

“Don’t treat life like it’s something stupid or tedious! Some people actually want what you’re trying to throw away!” I shouted back. He looked at me and pointed out. So he wanted me out of the car then so be it.

“Look, I don’t know why the heck you’re so angry if it was something I did then I’m sorry but I’m not sorry for telling you to treat your life more carefully because others actually want it!” I was angry at him for it. Lilly was fighting for her life and yet he’s throwing away his.

I didn’t look back and just kept on walking. I was blinded by my anger that I didn’t see the person in front of me. I bumped into whoever was in front of me hard that I stumbled back a few steps. When I looked to the person in front of me I saw Becky. She had a sly grin that was quickly replaced by a frown.

“What where you’re going!” She said and stood up.

“Look here! I don’t care who you are or what you are but this is my school! This is my hallway and you better watch it. When I walk everyone parts like bees and you’re no exception to the rule. Learn you’re place!” I was gritting my teeth. I was genuinely angry but she didn’t know that.

“So? I don’t care! You think you’re all that ‘cause you control the school? Well, news flash I don’t care!” She responded.

“You’re new I guess? But this is the rule here, I am the queen bee and you’re merely a worker bee. I don’t answer to you but you answer to me, got it?” I hissed.

She didn’t respond anymore instead someone pulled her away from me. I wasn’t really in the mood for this shit but whatever this is I don’t care. I walked to my first period. I couldn’t really focus and I could hear the whispers of the kids in school. I didn’t pay them any attention instead I put my attention to Micale and what he said. Though it wasn’t his fault because he didn’t know. I was still mad.
