Operation Revenge

Chapter Six: Old Enemies Or New Friends?

I'm going over to Lacey's house to hang out with her and Ava. We decided just to have a lazy day in and watch movies and relax since we're still feeling it from our night out. So i'm not really worried about going all out with my look today.

I'm dressed a little on the lazy side, i'm wearing a baggy v-neck t-shirt, black leggings and white shoreline slip converse.My hair was in two french braids at the top of my head leading into a messy bun and the bottom half of my hair was left down and was loosely curled. My makeup was kept natural with just a little mascara and chapstick.

I finished my look and then spritz a little bit of perfume on me and then grab my purse, keys, and phone then walk out of my room. Another thing i need to be doing is finding an apartment or small house. I love being with my family again, but i'm really ready to be on my own. Have my own place and grow.

I grabbed a banana and a bottle of water then walked out of my parents house, i get in my car and drive over to Lacey's house and just walk right in. That's something we've always done, we just walk into each other's houses and help ourselves because we're practically family.

"I'm here, bitches!" I called out as soon as i walked through the door.

"My babyyyyyy!" Lacey called out happily.

"We're in the living room!" Ava called back. I run into the living room and launch myself at my friends, landing across both of them.

"I've missed you guys so much! I don't know how i made it eight whole hours without you!" I sighed dramatically.

"Yessssss, never leave us again!" Lacey exclaimed pretending like she was sobbing at the thought of us being apart.

"I felt the light leaving my world because i couldn't see that pretty face for yours!" Ava acted like she was crying as well. I rolled my eyes and we all started laughing, i got off of them and sat between them on the couch. I looked up and noticed Reese, his friends, and Cindy...the girl who used to bully the shit out of me in gym class. Damn, are they going to be around every time we hang out?

"Holy hell! Kenslea?! You look amazing! It's been so long.." Cindy exclaimed in shock as she stared at me. She got a sad look on her face all of a sudden and then looked me right in the eyes. "Look, i want to apologize for how i treated you in school...I'm not the same girl i used to be in high school... I felt horrible after you left. I don't care how cool i wanted to look, i never should have treated another human being the way i did to get there. I'm truly sorry..."

I sat there in stunned silence, she's the first person who has apologized for how they treated me. She genuinely looks sorry. I sighed and looked down to gather my thoughts, i'm tired of holding grudges. It's not doing anyone any good, and it damn sure isn't doing me any good. I'm tired of being bitter, being angry, and acting like a victim.

"Don't worry about it, i forgive you. I forgive all of you! Truth is i came back here to get revenge on all of you show you how you made me feel, but i've come to realize that revenge is going to get me nowhere. Hurting you guys to make myself feel better is only going to make me just as bad. The best thing i can do is move on and be happy. So from now on it's a fresh start, i'm not going to hold what you guys did against you, i'm not going to play the victim anymore. Because i'm not a victim. I changed my life for the better because of you guys. I'm healthy, i have so much more confidence, and now i know my worth. Not to mention i'm the happiest i've ever been in my life. And it's all thanks to you guys!" I said feeling like a weight has been lifted off of my chest once i got all of that out in the open for the first time.
