Angelina Prudence

My minions and I are in my room getting ready for the dance. My red mini dress came just in time and we're currently looking for black shoes to match. Then I thought about Caleb. He's going to be there tonight. This is where phase one of my plan begins. I'm going to make a proposal and have him rule my kingdom with me. Caleb is new and from what I've observed, he has a way of getting attention from an audience without trying. His skills could be useful. Hearing that he was a drama kid made me think that he could be a good manipulator. Making people think one thing and doing another. Gaining their trust and destroying their dreams. He sounds a lot like me in my early days and I'm going to make him an offer he can't refuse. Don't get me wrong he's gorgeous just not my type.

Once I found the perfect pair of black heels, I told the girls to head to school and start setting up. The real reason for making them leave so soon was because my wretched sister was coming home. I heard her G wagon pull up in the driveway. I made my way to her room and entered her walk in closet. I made sure to empty out the Louis Vuitton bag and grabbed a Chanel clutch to replace it. While I was closing her bedroom door, I saw the devil herself. "What were you doing in my room? Stealing things again?" I sigh and try to find an excuse.

I smell the alcohol that's basically clung to her skin since I've moved in with her. "Cordelia, you reek. How about you sober up then try to accuse me with evidence?" I start to walk past her and she grabs my arm forcefully. "Don't act all tough, Ms. Thing, our parents should've got rid of you when they had the chance." She pushes me to the ground and looks down at me with disgust, "Don't forget who practically owns you. Be sure to take a trip to the cemetery. It's your one year anniversary or did you forget?" I get up with tears in my eyes and run back to my room. I look at myself in my vanity and touch up my mascara. I will not let her ruin my day. I call an Uber and head to school.

I walk into the gym and see the decorations are put up just how I wanted them. While waiting for the dance to fill up, I decided to go check on the chaperones. I approach Ms. Feller, Mr. Roque, Ms. Garcia, Sheila and.... Ms. O'Neill. "Be alert tonight or don't. I honestly don't care. I'm paying you to be here because the school said we had to have adult supervision. So yes, the punch is spiked and there will be dirty dancing. Break it up or don't. Just stay out of my way." They disperse except for one.

"You look nice tonight. I hope you've been doing well." I roll my eyes, "Not like you care anyway, Mandy," Her voice became stern, "You will address me as Ms. O'Neill. You may know how to access fear from the rest of the staff, but I still know you Angelina. Have a nice rest of your night. By the way, my condolences about your loss." I look up at her with a smirk, "Right back at you," She walks away and leaves me by the wall. Why can't she just apologize to me and continue our sessions? I hate feeling like someone has the upper hand on me. I kept the bag I bought her just because I felt a little hurt about our conversation. I had mini flashbacks about our little argument in her office. Cylyss ruins everything and now it's her turn to feel like she has nothing for once.

I spot Caleb from across the room. Some girl, which I assume is his sister, is arguing with him. Once she storms off, I started making my way towards him but he clearly had a different objective. He walks over to Cylyss and next thing I know their heading out the gym door. "Want me to follow them?" I jump a little and see Brittany. "Jesus, you scared me Brit. To answer your question, no." She cocks an eyebrow, "No?" I keep my eyes focused on the door, "You heard me. I want to see how this plays out. You'll understand soon enough. Get on the dance floor and enjoy yourself, it might be the last time you ever do." I head to the punch table and grab a drink. I notice Ava talking to Caleb's sister. I already know Ava was held back but how I use her is going to be tough. I should keep an eye on this forming friendship and see who it could be used against later.

I go around the gym, making sure my kingdom is an order. I see a girl with a purple dress on the dance floor. Hmm pretty but not as pretty as me. I continue to see Ms. Garcia chatting with Logan. I make my way over, "Hey Logan," He laughs shyly, "Uh hey," I put my arm on his shoulder and start playing with his hair. "Can't wait for the first game of the season next week. You better get a touchdown for me." Ms. Garcia looks uncomfortable so I address her. "Something wrong miss?" She looks up, "Oh nothing, you two enjoy the rest of your night. Don't forget what I told you." She glances at Logan one more time before vanishing into the sea of dancing students. "So where's Ace?" He relaxes a little at the sound of his name. "He couldn't come tonight. He had to talk to his dad about the firm." "Hmm well nice chat. Bye,"

When Caleb reenters the gym. I run towards him. "Hey, I haven't seen you all night. I was beginning to think you stood me up?" He grabs my chin and makes me look up at him. "I could never, you look gorgeous by the way." I blush a little, ew. "I thought you'd think so. I want to go somewhere with you. Just us, we should get to know each other better." I have a feeling I'm going to have to get used to that devilish smirk he gets when I talk to him. "Alright lead the way." I grab his hand and we make our way out of school. Once we enter the Uber I tell the driver where we're headed. "Ravenwood Cemetery please,"
