I stood there open mouthed.
"I am so sorry, Neve. Mia turned out to be a conniving little bitch. We waited for you so that we could inform you about the new pathetic relationship developed between that whore and that midget dick. You could’ve told us, sweetie" Trina fumed visibly.
“I didn’t know, Tri…” My voice trailed.
“Baby, come here” Trina pulled me into a firm hug and held me in her arms for a while. I clung on to her for what seemed like hours and sobbed till my lungs hurt.
“Are you alright, honey? Do you want to talk about it?” She asked me, quietly.
"I need some time alone, Trina” I detached myself from her. “I just need to process everything, cry this shit out and cleanse my soul. I don’t think I can face others right now”
"Go home, Neve" Trina looked at me with concern filled eyes.
"It's ok, Trina. I am going to be alright. I will have to face mom’s interrogation if I go home now. She doesn’t know about the breakup yet. I will stay in the girls’ room till lunch and you guys can fetch me then" I looked at her with puppy dog eyes.
She nodded her head reluctantly and gave me permission silently.

Two hours later, I felt and looked like the ugly witch's only daughter. I thoroughly regretted my decision to wear makeup.
"Neveah, I know you are in there. Come out!" Roxy's voice boomed outside my cubicle.
The last thing I wanted was Roxy to gloat over my misery.
"Go away, Roxy. I don't want to talk to you now" I shouted.
"If you don't come out this instant, I will go to Mrs.Norbury and complain that you're skipping classes" She threatened.
I sighed heavily. Last conversation I had with Roxy ended with a threat from her to ruin my life. It was not pretty!

Roxy dragged me to the girls' room and bolted the door.
"I don't know what lie you told him, you fat witch but let me remind you this, you messed with the wrong person” Roxy spat on the ground.
"You were cheating on him, Roxy. I didn’t mean to-”
"Hey, watch it! You don’t know half of it. And you didn't mean to what? You didn't mean to come in between me and Sean? You didn't mean to break us up? You didn't mean to steal my boyfriend? YOU DIDN'T MEAN TO WHAT?" Roxy went on shouting.
"I didn’t steal-"
"Listen to me, bitch. He left me because of you and you took my place!" Roxy whispered in my ears, very evilly. "You shouldn't have messed with me, Neveah. I will ruin your life. I will make you wish for death!" She said in a cold sugar coated voice and walked away.
