Electric

Part 11 - Veronica's Venom

Note: Lori has been re-name Veronica, I personally thought this name suited the character more and the person who had this character named after them doesn't represent them very accurately however the name Lori may appear in later novels... Thank you for reading once again <3

Veronica's POV:

The sound of my over-priced heels echo across the cobble-stone floors and continue on a set of worrying stairs finally reaching the heavy set oak door. Forcing the door open I am finally met with a more comforting scene, a heavily heated, plush-lined room of luxury. Throwing off my heels and enveloping myself into a fluffy faux fur chair a tap my fingers along the armrest covered in fancy tech.

"Come on out boys,"

Nick and Noah sulkily drag themselves through my second door-way standing before me, I actually paid these idiots and they did jack-shit.

"Why the long faces, hm have you realized that you completely messed up everything you possibly could already," I say my low voice level slowly rising the sound of my tapping fingers becoming more intense.

"It hasn't failed yet," Noah says the little light entering the room managing to add a golden sheen onto his honey-colored face.

"If this isn't a failure then WHAT IS," I enrage standing up from my chair 

Calmly I pick up my heel and continue to point the sharp end at Noah

"If you can't prove to me you haven't 'failed' do you know where this VERY expensive shoe is going?" I ask with a screech

Noah looks down at the floor 

"INTO YOUR THICK SKULL!" I burst causing himself and Nick to jump promptly

"You had one job. Get Shay away from Jae. that was it you didn't have to kill her although ordering a damn assassin would have been easier," I explain thoroughly, moving back into my chair 

"It's like she only has two emotions, angry and emotionless. I can't get around her, it's not like you can understand anyway," Noah says desperately 

"Ok sure maybe your bad boy aesthetic doesn't work but I was under the impression that YOU were succeeding... NICK,"

Nick remained silent his thick jet black hair in this eyes in which were no-longer crowded by a pair of glasses as per usual. I kept myself silent these boys are more incompetent than I thought. When I hired them every single thing within this plan has gone wrong so far and it's getting harder to deal with. I step back into my chair, what's the point? What's the point of going to all this effort if none of it works and I end up back here... in some abandoned factory surrounded by idiots, I need Jae, I really do. I need him if I want my brand to succeed and I want him, I want him to be mine. I shouldn't need any more reason and everything I want would already be mine but it's not... because of Shay

"New plan idiots, listen up,"

Shay's POV

"This is it guys," I announce ancient photobook in hand

"I'm going to the principal TODAY and I will seek the fate of ROOM M1,"

I kick myself back on a luxurious spinny chair, I miss my room but I find myself almost drawn to staying around Day6... I literally can not believe I'm thinking this right now not in a million years did I think I'd find myself WANTING to be friends with 5  musical boys which have their own fanbase. But in reality, I just see them as a bunch of goofy music nerds that forget to do their assessments and write decent music... decently good music. At the lunch-time bell, I walk myself to the front office and patiently wait 

10 Minutes Later

I walk outside the school office to find Veronica waiting at a nearby bench, avoiding her icy contact I pull out my phone and distract my eyes into it. It's only a bare few seconds before a slim figure blocks my line of sight slowly yet reluctantly I pull my eyes upwards to find Veronica, she seemed to be glowing red surrounded by a wave of fiery anger. Her eyes encased in dark make-up, lips painted in an enchantment of red and her feet protected with sharp leather and metal... otherwise know as stilettos 

"Funny seeing you here Shay," she says flatly while holding a thick manilla folder

"You want to know what this is," she continues after catching my eyes graze over the folder

"No thanks I don't want to view your VSCO lookbook today," I reply tautly, my arms tensing up

"Well that's a shame, I thought you would know the answer as to why this shit-hole hasn't even heard of a school dance in years," Veronica's shrill voice abruptly breaks

"But why would you know that," she finishes off

My eyes shoot up and narrow down as I search Veronica's dark eyes... What in Gods name is her motive, motive, motive, motive

PING

Jae: 

How'd it go?

My eyes instantly disconnect from Veronicas, I quickly shake off my confusion and shove Veronica away, heading straight out of the school and walking the fastest I could to safety from the venom of Veronica. 

"You're home late," Sam says as I slump onto the couch

"I did it," I say unsatisfied

"Did what?" Sam asks confused

"I got back ROOM M1," I clarify tiredly hoaxing her over with the coffee pot

"Oh congrats," she says calmly pouring me some coffee

"You know mom is gonna kill you if she sees that new piercing," I point at the red lump on her left ear

"You finally noticed," she replies tremulously 

I nod and pick my phone up

Good

Really good actually

SEND

Sam hovers over my phone slightly 

"Ohh it's electric boy, I haven't heard of him in a while," she says sleazily 

"I wonder why? Maybe because I'm not interested in him," I convince myself to say

"No comment," Sam picks herself up and begins to head out

"I'm going to go party, tell mom I'll be back by 12 ok," Sam clarifies before leaving quickly before my reply.

Congratulations 

Your plan actually worked for once aha

I throw my phone across the couch, why do I feel so unsatisfied by this success, I should be ecstatic about getting away from Day6 and going back to my introverted jam sessions. Maybe it just hasn't hit me yet, I'll feel better tomorrow when I unlock it's forbidden doors once again for sure...
