PRANKSTERS.

Chapter 39

Allie's POV

It was the end of the day. Finally.

I walked to my locker, laughing along with Madi like always.

Then Brandon ran up to me.

"Allie, I'm so sorry!!" He practically screeches.

"Sorry about what?" I ask.

Madi bites her lip and starts to walk away.

Hmm. That was weird.

I look back at Brandon.

"What are you talking about?"

"Allie, I swear I didn't know you had a boyfriend when I kissed you. If I would've known I wouldn't have done that. I swear." He says practically begging me for forgiveness.

"Brandon, stop. W-we aren't together now. It doesn't matter." I stutter.

I feel tears spring to my eyes, and I look down to avoid his gaze.

"Wait a minute. How do you know I had a boyfriend?" I question him, suddenly regaining my senses.

He points to Madi at her locker. "She told me." He says simply.

"Look Brandon, it's fine. Maybe Shawn and I weren't meant to be. I have to go." I say swallowing the lump that's building in my throat as I turn around.

Madi sees that I'm staring at her and spins around and shuts her locker. She starts to run in the opposite direction.

I drop my stuff and run towards her.

I grab the back of her cardigan and pull her back.

"Woah! Slow down there, speed racer!" I say.

She simply turns to me and says, "I told him for the greater good."

"What greater good?" I ask.

"Shawlie!" She replies with a smile on her face. She puts her fingers in a heart formation.

"Shawlie?" I ask.

"Shawn and Allie! Isn't it cute?" She asks hopefully.

"Who the hell cares? Madi, Shawn and I broke up. That's the way it is. It's not meant to be, so just leave it alone!"

"I was just trying to help." Madi says sadly.

"I don't want your help!!" I scream.

Before I even realize it, I feel tears drop into my hand.

Madi looks at me with soft, pitiful eyes.

I look around and what feels like the entire student body is watching my breakdown.

Some people just stare, while others have their phones out taking a video.

I see Brooke and her group of bitches watching with huge smirks on their faces.

I turn to the nearest camera, flip them off, then run to my locker.

Everyone stares at me in shock.

I grab my stuff and run out of the building.

I run home.

Madi tries to chase after me, but I run faster.

When I get home, my lungs are practically burning.

Madi gets home a couple minutes later, but I slam my door and lock it before she can come in.

After a while of banging on my door, she gives up and leaves.

Once she leaves, I go on YouTube.

I go to Brooke's channel because god knows she'd be the one to try to make my life more hell.

I guess I was right.

The video, 'Mental Case at my School' already has a thousand views. Great.

I scroll to the comments and see things that make me want to slap every human on Earth.

'What a freak!'

'Is she insane?😂'

'I feel so bad for you, Brookie.'

Then I see one that makes me even more mad for some reason. It's Madi's comment.

'Everyone stop. She's going through some terrible shit right now, and she doesn't need you to make it worse.'

There is only one comment on Madi's comment and it makes my heart ache.

It's from Shawn.

'Is she okay? Is this because of me? Madi, I love her, but she kissed another boy. I can't overlook that. Comfort her for me, okay?'

Suddenly, another comment pops up.

It's from Madi.

'She won't let me in. She's really hurting. Text me.'

I close my laptop and burst into tears.

I go to my bed, pull the sheets over my head, and eventually cry myself to sleep.
