Running with Revenge

𝓭𝓮𝓾𝔁

Jonah quickly unfolds the paper, joyful that Lace wouldn't have to be sad anymore but that smile quickly falls and a frowns replaces it.

"What's this?" His voice raises up an octave and Lace's head tilts.

"What do you mean? This is the plan." Jonah shakes his head,

"So the plan is for you to fall in love with him then get close enough to backstab him?"Lace nods her head shyly. Jonah puts his face in his hands,

"Can't you just kill him?" Lace's eyes widen,

"I need to provide him with the same pain that he gave me. It needs to be wrapped in a present with a shiny outside to draw him in."

"Nope. No way princess. I can't let it happen." He says finishing up his waffles. Lace scoffs,

"Why not?"

"Because I love you and care for you." Her lips slip from the staw and she gapes at Jonah,

"That isn't fair. You can't use the l-word to prevent me from doing this." Jonah smiles slightly at Lace's pouting, most girls would shut up at the mention of him having a crush on them but Lace just acknowledges the fact that he used the word Love.

"So there isn't anything that I can do to stop you?" Jonah runs a hand through his hair frustrated.

"Let me tell you a secret. Come here." Lace signals for him to come closer,

"I like you too.I won't actually fall in love with him. I just need to get close enough in order to trick him. I'll personally break down his hierarchy." Lace holds out her pinky finger and Jonah connects his. The deal was sealed, Lace would set out to ruin Val herself with the tiniest amount of help.

With a forehead kiss from Jonah, Lace was back on her bike, pumping her legs going full speed to get home. She swings her foot over the seat and unlocks the door. She runs to her room, floppping on her bed. She would have to sell this act in order to get revenge. Lace flips open her cabinet and pulls her first date outfit that Bee put together for her. She buttons up the satin v neck shirt and tucks it into her jeans. Lace skips over to her jewelry box and puts on the necklace that Val gave her and applies a new coat of navy blue polish. The doorbell rings and she answers it with a fake smile plastered on. Let the games begin.
