"I'm in so much pain, but it was worth it," Savannah says, back to her normal self.

"I love your mum so much," Jacob says, "is she going to divorce your dad anytime soon, my dad's available."

"Don't say gross stuff like that dude," Xander says.

"Yeah, and it'll be weird if your dad marries Xander's mum. You guys will become brothers and when Xander and I get married, you'll be both my cousin and my brother in-law," Savannah says.

"Well, you and Xander may not even get married," Jacqueline says and immediately regrets it, "no no no, that's not what I mean-"

"I'm gonna-" Savannah rises from her chair, ready to strangle Jacqueline. Jacqueline starts to run and Savannah chases her. Jacqueline finally hides behind Xander, shaking like a leaf.

"Calm down Savannah, Jackie didn't mean it that way."

"How can you still be supporting her, she's evil!"

"Well now you're acting like who I used to be," Jacqueline says, still hiding behind Xander.

"Oh hell no, you did not just compare me to you, you leech. We all know I'm way better than you'll ever be. Your parents may be extremely rich but at least I have friends, real friends that didn't just use and dump me. And my parents don't go on 'business trips' every week because there're trying to avoid me."

"You don't know anything about my parents!"

"Who do you think you're fooling? Everyone knows that your parents don't want you, you're a mistake."

Jacqueline finally comes out of hiding and she looks ready to kill. "At least my parents can afford anything I want! Your mum works two jobs and she's still in debt! No wonder your dad left. Yeah, you're not fooling anyone, we all know your dad left you, your mom and sister because he's a stupid, lazy and useless man who never accomplished anything in his life."

"Shut up." Savannah says, her voice waivers a little, a sign she's about to cry.

"And how about your mother? Doesn't she have a third job as a slut-"

"Jacqueline-"

"Hold it!" She says to Jacob, holding her hand up to silence him. "This is between me and her. My parents are a million times better than yours, my dad has fulfilled his destiny, my mom's not a dirty whore but you most likely will be. Hanging around Xander because he's parents are rich, that's shameful," she shakes her head.

"That's not true!" Savannah yells.

"Oh Sav," Jacqueline slowly walks towards Savannah. "You really need to stop taking Xander's kindness for granted, this thing you think have isn't going to last because I get always whatever I want, boys included."

"Okay, that's enough," Miley warns.

"I said this is between me and her!" Jacqueline yells with authority. Seems like Savannah awoke the demon in her, the one she sealed off after high school.

"Since you're so hell bent on seeing my bitchy side, you've got it. How about you do us all a favour and jump off a bridge like your bro-"

"Jacqueline!" Xander interrupts her, "what is wrong with you?!" He goes to comfort Savannah who's a crying mess on the ground.

He gives her that look, the look she hates so much, the look he gave her when he found out she's the one that pranked Xandra, the look that he used to give her when he saw her in the halls or in class. That look that's so full of hatred, like he's wishing she would just drop dead.
