"Oh my days Syd's d*ck is so big. We literally used the whole bottle of lube this weekend," Lizzy smirked as she leaned forward to the school bathroom mirror as she applied lip gloss.
"You did say your parents were out of town this weekend. You know Liz, at least three girls from Cavalry have DMed me to ask if you're with Syd. You've got people really jealous," Cara-Lee forced a smile.
"Cara you don't even have to tell me twice," she slipped her lip gloss into her blazer pocket, "That Katara b*tch kicked up a real stink when she found out."
"Wouldn't doubt that. You know what girls like her are like," Cara- Lee responded.
"She spat on Rodrick. Like, keep all that in the ghetto."
The sound of flushing toilets flooded the bathroom and 3 toilet cubicle doors flew open. Katara and her two friends, Zita and Adiya waltzed out with unamused faces. They didn't even acknowledge Cara-Lee and Lizzy.
As Katara washed her hands she said very audibly, "You know, Syd's d*ck isn't that big. I've experienced much bigger."
Adiya and Zita high fived each other and cackled.
Zita fixed her hand on her hip and shot Lizzy a death stare, "Rah sis, we don't do small things in the ghetto," she spat.
As Katara and her crew walked out they all managed to aggressively bump shoulders with Lizzy which left her rather shaken.

It was a Saturday and Chester High was hosting a debate conference which should have been over in an hour or so. Katara was uptight. She felt so out of place among all these rich kids from St. Pauls Boys High and Cavalry Girls High. She just wanted to go home.
Katara watched Rodrick deposit himself among the St. Paul boys. He did fit in. He was as good-looking as all of them.
That added more to her anxiety. She massaged the stress out of her forehead with her index finger.
Then there was something Katara wished she could un-see. Lizzy snuggled up to Syd Cavanaugh looking and pointing in her direction. When Syd's eyes landed on Katara, his chiselled jaw clenched.
Feeling ample discomfort Katara got up and swiftly made her way to the exit of the hall. Mr. Woodworth chased after her.
"Miss Oyoja, you are not permitted to leave yet!" He hollered from behind.
Katara turned around and hissed, "I just started my period."
He blinked twice in embarrassment, "Very well then, be on your way."
Katara's mom, Laura, said she'd be in the farmer's market area the whole morning which was only ten minutes away from Chester High.
"Mom, please come get me now," Katara whined into the microphone of her phone.
