The Best Revenge

Chapter Ten

I lay down on the torn and tattered couch. I pull out my phone and dial my insurance company.

"Hello, this is Charlie from Chatsworth Insurance, how can I help you?" A girl with a squeaky voice says.

"Uh- Hi, Charlie. I'm Penelope Lilian and I'm calling to confirm that the $2,000 transaction from the break-in coverages is on my debit card?

"Oh, let me check on that. Please hold." She says quickly. Then cheesy elevator-ish music begins to play and I reach for my computer. It's not there. Britney-Stupid-Sykes stole it.

15 minutes later the music stops and I hear a squeaky voice in the other end of the phone.

"Ms Lilian? Are you still there?" She squeaks.

"Oh yeah. Hi." I awkwardly say.

"You do have $2,000 and since your mother does not currently live with you, we have granted you and extra $500 to cover he expenses. Anything else?"

"No, uh- thanks, bye. I say. I click end and I let out a sigh of relief. I go shopping and pick out a few things, as well as a new laptop, couch and TV. Then I come home and replace everything.

"Thanks Britney." I say out loud like she'll hear me.

2 minutes later I'm driving to the police building. I pull into the parking lot and walk through the doors.

"Oh- I was just about to call your phone." A man says.

"You're Penelope Lilian, right?" He says to me.

"Uh- yeah?" I ask more than say.

"Britney Sykes wants to see you." He says a leads me into a doorway. He leaves me in there and shuts the door behind me.

"LILIAN." I hear someone with a familiar voice screech. I turn around slowly and sure enough, Britney Sykes is in an orange jumpsuit behind bars. I smile sarcastically at her. She can't hurt me now.

"Yes?" I say innocently like I'm some sort of goddess. Her face gets red and puffy, and she looks like she's going to puke.

"Oh, Sykes, don't you know? Sometimes the best revenge is karma." I say and storm out the door.
