Book of Broken Hearts

Chapter #1 Xéna's Small Prank

 “Let's do this!” Xéna smiled as she punched the air. She was wearing a black leather pair of boots and jacket. She carried a black burlap sack over her right shoulder as she shimmied down the side of the house. Xéna ran down the yard and hid behind a tree. She was silent as she watched around her, waiting to see if any bedroom lights came on. None did.

She let a sigh of relief as she walked around the hedges and walked down the street. She pulled out a little notepad. She crossed off the first thing on her list. It looked something like this:

Get out of house

Head to Joe Shawler's House

Prank him so bad that he shits himself

Xéna smirks as she arrives at 1107 West 1st Street. She looks around the neighborhood in case someone was watching her. She bit her lip as she fumbled through the burlap sack. Xéna pulled out a bright cyan-blue spray pant and shook it lightly. She spray painted the side of his house to read THE X MARKS THE SPOT.Xéna's prank wasn't over quite yet. She had much more to come.

Xéna chose Joe Shawler specifically because he is known as the “Joe the Hoe” at every school in the district. He flirts with the first-year girls and even worse, takes their purity away. He always goes for the girls that haven't heard of the “Joe the Hoe” story. What makes Xéna even madder is that he tried to hook up with her even though he was with tens of other girls! That's correct; I said tens of girls. What disgusts her even more is that rumor has it that she even flirted with some of the female teachers at their school. Xéna shivered at the thought as the image of him flirting with their Language Arts teacher. She then looks around the house, looking for the window that led to the basement. That was where Joe lived after all .

Xéna quietly peeked through the window to see if he was awake. She squinted her eyes to get a better look as she saw him in bed. But he wasn't the only one in the room. As Xéna looked at Joe, she saw movement in the corner of the room. She froze in place. Xéna wondered if the person noticed her. She watched quietly as the person made its way towards Joe's sleeping body. There was barely a sound of the tap of its feet on the tile flooring as the person now stood above him. Xéna watched as she just now realized that the person had a can of spray paint as the person sprayed Joe's chest. Xéna became furious that her prank was ruined from this person. As soon as Xéna got up the porch light came on. She jumped as she ran down the street. The deep voice of the man shouted towards her as she ran quickly. “GET BACK HERE!”

Xéna had made her way through alleyways back home. She looked down into her pocket and pulled a key out. She glared down to the doorknob as she unlocked the front door. She walked in quietly as she closed the door and locked it. Xéna headed quietly up the stairs to her room as she went into her room. She threw herself onto the bed as she screamed into her pillow.

“Why?! Why was someone there? Who was there and why during my revenge?!”
