How About No.

Chapter 12

Adelyn's POV

Take that blondie, if you and Anna Leigh can take my spot on the cheer team, I can take your boyfriend. It's simple. He fell for my extra effort in trying to be drop dead gorgeous by kissing me, in front of Emilia! Ha! I'm a winna.

"Adelyn! You better start talking in 3, 2,"

I cut Lacey off before she got to 1, "News flash, I can't be tamed. Revenge is my best work and using Dalton to get to Emilia is perfect."

"Look, you may be the most jealous person I know. But cut the crap and move on. You're just not good enough if you couldn't even stay on the cheer team. News flash to you, but you aren't the best cheerleader, so suck it up!" Lacey shouted at me with such frustration that I yawned then smirked.

"Chill, Lacey. We all know you're just a jealous wannabe of 'Miss Perfect', aka Emilia Rogers. After all, that is why you became her best friend, am I right?" I smiled satisfied with my comeback but Lacey's rage just increased highly.

"I'm gonna give you 10 seconds to run before I beat your redheaded, jealous, flat bottomed self before I flatten you out even more." She paused for effect. "No one, I mean no one, talks about my best friend like that. Especially with me standing right here. Dare to say another word and I'll pound your 'pretty' little face in!"

I laughed, amused at her for thinking this nonsense that she could actually take me down.

She lunged forward, "10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, You better run I'm just 2 seconds away." With that, I made my way towards the door trying my best to look casual and unafraid even though my fear level was being raised by each second. Her fist got really close to coming in contact with my face as she said, "2, 1!" Then after that I blacked out and woke up in the nurse's office.

Emilia's POV

I sobbed and sobbed until no more fluid could leak out of me all night thinking about the incident. I had turned off my phone after an hour so I wouldn't have to face the forgiveness texts that would overflow my phone on iMessage.

Suddenly, I heard my window open and then in came a Dalton.

"Babe, hear me out. I know you are awake, even if I can't see you in the dark." I quietly got further under my covers and hid.

"Emilia, I'm sorry. I'm so stupid." I blocked him out by falling asleep.

How about no? You expect me to forgive and forget after the first 'accidental incident'? Well, here's some reality knocking on your door, I'm not the kind of person to let people off the hook. So, bye!
