Why you gotta act so nice?
This ain't televised✂︎------------------------
Tao, Brandy, and Zia stayed out of my way for the rest of the week. But they were far from generous. Just doing little things to tick me off during class. It was weird, I always assumed Tao was the bitchy mastermind. But even the 'kind' Zia I knew had faded away much too quickly, even she was rude. I don't blame her, obviously, I don't blame her I just forgot she wasn't as kind-hearted as I thought she was.
But I knew they were plotting something. Savien, Rachel, and I had already made a plan too. Just waiting for them to make the first move to execute it because the plan was pretty... aggressive. We tried to settle on doing something less illegal and less crazy but our anger made that almost impossible.
And now it was finally Friday and I'd gotten through the tensest week of my entire life. Literally, I could feel everyone's tension and suspicion radiating off of them and onto me. All of the guys, Savien and I were planning on going ice skating. I don't think any of us really wanted to, but Savien was forcing us to because according to her we have to get into the Christmas spirit.
And I knew better than to try to say no again.
Savien and I were waiting outside the school for my driver. She has her car, but I have yet to get mine. And I'm starting to think the other reason I don't have one already is so my parents can try to keep track of where I'm going.
"Sonny and I are going to some movie tomorrow," Savien said, putting her phone in her pocket. "I think it's some horror movie."
Nudging her, I winked. "Is that all? You're not going to go back over to his house or... maybe do something that involves no clothes-."
"Shutup!" Savien said, laughing and nudging me back. "I don't even know if I feel that way about him."
"What?"
"I mean, he's cute and nice but I can't stop thinking about how he'd say anything to get in a girl's pants," She sighs, resting her chin on her hand. "Maybe that's what he's doing to me. It's hard to trust a fulltime fuckboy, you know?"
