"Oh my god, she's such a bitch."

"She's going to be hated by everyone."

"Poor, Samantha. Fuck Miranda that psycho."

That's the tea I heard in the early hours of a school day. What did she do this time? Oh, she sent out her best friend's nudes around the school. That news was buzzing and every student has heard of the news including the freshmen students, who brought eggs in especially to throw on Miranda.

That was what she did and everyone hated her for it. Not that there was a difference from the very beginning. Her best friend came in shouting words not meant to be heard by teachers and she stormed through, her brother Ace there for moral support. Wow, he came all the way from NY just to support his sister? That's definitely the sibling love I wished I had.

In reality, I did feel sorry for Miranda. This was going to be a big change for her, from being feared to being the one who's scared, but she deserved it. Everyone thought she deserved it. The whole school was disgusted by her. All her friends, every popular guy in school and even the Bowers' gang was shocked that she would stoop so low. Me, on the other hand, was not even the tiniest bit surprised. I knew she was capable of doing these things.

"Can you believe her?" Nicole whispered to me that morning as she came in. I nodded in response and sighed, "apparently, her mother's too disgusted to go to the gardening club because of what her daughter did."

I mean, I didn't see her on Sunday so it must've happened the day before or something. After all, news travels fast in this town and especially in this school. We got seniors slagging her off and freshmen students looking to hunt her down.

"I'm not even surprised that she did that," I said cockily and she arched an eyebrow at me, "you know Camille from the debate team? She said that Miranda posted Samantha's nudes and put such crappy captions saying how much of a slut she was and stuff."

Hah, like she can say much. Now, I know not to stoop as low as her, but I've gone through enough shit with her to know that what she's facing is nothing compared to what I've been through. I am not passing the opportunity to fuck up her life like she's done to me.

"Where is she? I swear I'm gonna fucking kill her." boomed Ace as he cracked his knuckles, his sister looking around to find her ex-best friend.

"Oh, don't even bother. I'll be finished with her as soon as you knock her to the ground," snapped Samantha as she scoured through the crowd, her eyes piercing and full of anger. Other students jeered insults about Miranda and cheered Samantha on as she walked deeper on the school campus.

Well, at least it's not me this time, I thought, god, I'm so evil.

Everyone headed off, following Samantha deeper into school so they can hunt down Miranda. This reminds me of when people chase monsters with pitchforks and torches, except without those things. 

Michael smiled at me before patting me on the head. He breathed a sigh of relief as I looked up at him innocently with a grin of pure happiness. 

"Doesn't it feel great to not be drowning in shit for once?" he said as I nodded eagerly, Nicole and Kelly joining us with Ethan. I turned to see Nicole setting up the live video on her phone and I prodded Mike, who turned to see her, "oh, she's updating every student on the latest gossip. I think she just got her best story of the year."

"Hey, Summer View Academy, this is your Nicole updating every single one of you on the latest juicy details and woah, is it juicy? You know Miranda, Queen Bee, yeah, she's officially branded as a backstabber for sending Sammie's nudes around. FYI, yes, she is one humiliated bitch. Sending my love out to you Sam, go kick her ass!" Nicole exclaimed as she ended the video before uploading it, my phone going off at the notification.
