Tainted Love (Ariana/you)

Chapter 12

~Ariana's POV~

The next day, school was so weird.

Since Camila and I had walked into school, hand in hand and she kissed me before going to her class, everyone was talking about us.

"They are so cute."

"The new it couple."

"I heard Y/N was mad."

"Why? They're only friends."

"Jessica is even more mad."

"She's going to raise hell."

"Wait, I thought Y/N and Ariana were a thing?"

They just wouldn't stop. Whispers and glances-good or bad-were everywhere.

When it came to lunch, Y/N sat at my table before any of my other friends got there.

The cafeteria suddenly got a little more quiet and everyone was ready for the drama to begin.

"Hey." Y/N said quietly, noticing everyone's eyes on us. Today she was wearing dark jeans, a white Hollister t-shirt and back high-top converse. A chain hung from her belt buckle, and another one dangled from her neck. Her long dark hair was in its natural state but a little messy as if she had run her fingers through it a few times.

She was still attractive as fuck though.

"Hi." I said, my cheeks flushing."

"So...you and Camila make it official?" She inquired.

"Not exactly, we walked into school holding hands and the whole school flips upside down." I said, taking a bite of my salad.

She looked around at the curious eyes looking at us and took a deep breath. "I can see that. We'll talk later, yeah?" She asked with a hopeful glint in her eyes.

I nodded as she leaned over and gave me a quick kiss on the cheek without thinking then walking away. Everyone around me started talking loudly again and most of it was about Y/N kissing my cheek. I sat there, a flushed expression still prominent on my face.

Nice, Y/N/N. Real nice.

After gym, 4th period, I ventured to the nearest girls restroom instead of the locker room due to the overflow. As soon as I entered the restroom, I immediately regretted it.

"Well, well, well, look at what the cat dragged in." Jessica snarled, her two ugly ass minions snickering behind her.

I rolled my eyes at the childish greeting and headed towards the stall. Jessica suddenly stood in my way, smirking.

"Jessica, please move." I said through gritted teeth.

"Gladly, whenever you agree to stay away from Y/N."

"Excuse me?" I asked, raising my eyebrows.

"You heard me. Stay away from Y/N. You're doing nothing but standing in between us."

"You're standing in between me and the stall door but you don't see me complaining as much as you are."

Jessica fake laughed. "You're so funny Ari, but too bad you can't joke your way out of your friendship with Y/N. I'm serious, Ariana, stay the fuck away from Y/N."

"And if I don't?" I asked, crossing my arms.

Jessica snapped and her dumbest minion Ashley scurried over with her phone in her hand, handing it to Jessica. 

"You and Y/N can say goodbye to Y/N's perfect little reputation." She said, showing me picture of information about Y/N being arrested last year for underage drinking and marijuana consumption. She wasn't in there long before her mom bailed her out and she got a slap on the wrist but that's all it took for Y/N to not do it again and here was Jessica holding it against me. 

"Everyone will know that Y/N is nothing but a pothead and no one will want to be her friend-except for other potheads which won't be good for her considering she might want to start doing it again." She said, a smirk plastered to her face.

"I thought you liked Y/N, why would you do this to her?" I asked disgusted.

"Oh honey please, I think me and you both know I didn't start liking Y/N for herself. She's popular duh! If this info gets out, it won't matter anymore because she won't be popular." She snarled, enjoying this too much. "So, do we have an agreement?"

My jaw tensed, "Yes." I hissed.

"Good. C'mon girls." Jessica said, her and her army of skanks tagging along.

I slid down the wall, closing my eyes and trying not to cry but I failed miserably.
