Chapter Ten: Like A Pest

Deliah's POV

"OH! AND YOU THOUGHT YOU COULD HIDE THE FACT THAT YOU HAVE HERPES?"

And that my friends, is the sound of victory.

I was sitting in Damon's car, a parking space away from Keanu and Andreen enjoying the show.

"You know what! I'm just glad I wasn't dumb enough to through with your plan and fuck you without a condom!"

"But baby! That diagnosis was fake! I'm 100% clean."

"Oh so it's just a coincidence that you went to see your gynaecologist yesterday and that I got notified about the herpes AND that you finally wanted to have unsafe sex with me ON THE SAME DAY? The fuck you trying to do?"

"Where did you get all of this baby?" She says trying to touch him but he moves away.

"I received an email that had YOUR signature on it"

Doctor diagnosis' aren't the only thing I know how to forge.

The bell rings.

"I'm guessing I don't even have to say it's over." Keanu says picking up his backpack and walking away, leaving Andreen standing in the middle of the parking lot with a tear streaked face. Luckily for her there weren't people around them when this little scene played out.

"Dee, please don't tell me you have something to do with this." Damon says desperately as we exit the car.

"I would, but you know I hate lying to you" I reply winking.

"Dee-"

"Come on, bro. It was just for fun. And you had to admit, that was quite a show."

"Hey, I wasn't going to say anything bad. I'm just surprised you pulled it off."

"Don't you dare underestimate me, weakling"

"Oh? I'm the weakling?" Damon asks as he starts tickling me. "I'M the weak one?"

"Damon stop it!" I plead as I laugh uncontrollably trying to get away from him. When he finished I'm bent over gasping for air. I hate being tickled.

"Ass." I muttered as I slapped him over the head.

"See ya."

"Bye." We greet and I head to Math class. I enter the classroom and take my assigned seat in the back of the classroom. I lay with my head on the table for a moment mentally congratulating myself for the successful mission.

The seat next to me gets pulled out and I look to my left to see Keanu plopping down into the seat, sighing and running his hand through his hair.

"Sup." He says and offers me a high five to which I fist bump his open hand.

"You are such a weird, interesting species you know that?"

"I take that as a compliment" I say tilting my head up in a proud manner.
His phone starts vibrating nonstop and I can see the irritation on Keanu's face. He picks up the phone, turns it off completely and slams it down onto the table.

"Girl troubles?" I ask.

"You can't imagine."

"That bad huh?"

"Worse"

The bell rings and Miss. Evans enters the room.

"Like a pest?" I ask.

He laughs." Like a pest."

"Well then, Be carefull. You may just have a stalker."

"Seriously Dee. That stunt you pulled was amazing. Andreen was crying and stuttering the whole period." Damon says looking at the other side of the cafeteria where Andreen and her posse stood.

"Well, Karma's a bitch."

"Like you?"

"Like me." I say clinking my glass of orange juice against his.

I drink my cold glass of deliciousness and sigh in relief as it cools me down. The cafeteria doors open and Keanu and Armando enter. Andreen immediately jumps up and runs over to him. Bad move.

"Baby!" She cries as she runs up to him and hugs him. "I don't wanna fight anymore."

"We didn't fight Andreen. We broke up. Now stop embarrassing yourself and get off of me." He says prying her off of him.

"We can't break up!" She screeches losing it. "You want me! You know you do! You're just jealous! Jealous that I didn't give it up to you that first night at your party! But I'll forgive you baby. We can get past this."

"Chelsea. Please be a good friend and get her out of here. She's already labeled as a slut, I'm guessing she doesn't want to be labelled as a psychotic bitch either."

"Too late for that." Someone says. And it's only after everyone in the cafeteria turns their heads to look at me and Damon starts laughing silently that I realise that those were my words.

"Just get her out of here." Keanu tells Chelsea, Andreen's best friend, not even trying to hide his smirk which is directed at me.

The three girls leave the cafeteria just as the bell rings. Me and Damon pack our things and head to the gym to get ready for our next class. You do not want to be late to Coach Henry's class. Luckily I'm sagacious enough not to make that mistake again.

We separate when we get to the gym and each go to the locker rooms. Before I'm inside coach stops me.

"Hey, Lodge! I need you to give this report to Miss. Evans." Coach says handing me a stack of papers.

"Sure Coach." I take the papers and make my way to Miss. Evans' classroom. It takes me about ten minutes to get there and back and when I return I'm glad to see we're done with the warm up. I really don't have the strength to be running ten laps around this huge gym.

I excuse myself and make my way to the girl's locker room. When I enter I put my bag down and was about to start stripping down to get dressed when I heard something. Moaning? I follow the noise, walking between the aisles of lockers. When I get to the back of the room I turn left on the corner. Irritation and a feeling similar to jealousy bubbles up inside me.

They must've heard me because they immediately stopped their kissing and groping. Keanu looked relaxed and actually amused by all of this while the girl fidgeted uncomfortably and adjusted her top and bra strap. Her hair was a mess and her top was too wrinkled to go unnoticed.

"Please don't tell Andreen!" Chelsea pleaded.
