Sophia: Guys! Stop laughing, it was nor funny. I swear that was the biggest snake ever.
Penny: Oh, please! Sof, you’re such a crybaby. It was just a little snake, no big of a deal. Right, Alex?
Alex: Well, it was a little snake but Penny, you should be more sensitive. After all it wasn’t you the snake wanted to eat. Sof, I guess you are the most delicious prey out of the three of us.
Sophia: Alex! Please, stop you’re scaring me.
Alex: Fine. Jeesh, you can’t take a joke? Whatever.
Sophia: That’s not it don’t be mad, Alex. Are you mad? Please talk to me.
Penny: She’s not mad, Sof.
Alex: I’m not mad.
Sophia: Shoot! I have to hang up guys… we’ll talk tomorrow right?
Penny: Obviously, first day of High School. We have to stick together.
Alex: Yeah, we do…
Sophia: What are you thinking Alex?
Alex: Nothing. Life is going to get much more interesting starting tomorrow.
Sophia: Well, see you tomorrow…bye!
Penny: Bye.
Alex: Bye.
Penny: Finally! I thought she was never going to hang up. God, can she be that oblivious!
Alex: She’s always been like this. Actually, I like her just like that… it makes things easier.
Penny: Yeah, you’re right. I mean, the snake thing was hilarious. Where did you get it from anyway?
Alex: It’s mine. Wasn’t she pretty?
Penny: You think that thing is pretty?
Alex: Of course, can’t you appreciate real beauty when you see it?
Penny: Apparently not. How can you like those things? There so cold and malicious.
Alex: I like cold and malicious. There lovely.
Penny: You’re twisted.
Alex: You haven’t seen twisted yet. Tomorrow starts the real fun.
Penny: What are you planning now? Tell me.
Alex: Patience. I’ll tell you tomorrow.
Penny: Is it about Sof?
Alex: Yeah.
Penny: You’re not going to kill her… are you?
Alex: What? Are you chickening out?
Penny: No! Of course not, but if you don’t like her why are you friends with her?
Alex: That’s my business. We’ll talk tomorrow.
Penny: Ok, but if we’re going to keep with the jokes and tricks on her… it can’t be too serious, Alex, I’m not joking. I’m your friend and all, but I will not do time for you.
Alex: Yeah, yeah, we’ll talk tomorrow pussy.
Chapter 1: The Devil Has Dimples
Penny
I hate her, that hateful manipulating bitch. I swear she’s the devil… the real one in flesh. I can’t believe I was once friends with that monster. I don’t know whose worst me for ever being friends with her and enjoying making peoples life miserable or her for being not only the most cold and evil person I’ve met, but the reincarnation of the devil. What I also can’t believe is how people buy her crap of an act. People, wake up! She’s a crazy bitch! I mean, I wouldn’t be surprised if she’s killed somebody by now, after what she did to me in freshmen year.
One little mistake and boom. I’m dead; Social life down the drain. She, on the other hand, is like a freaking god here. It’s like she owns this place. Perfect boyfriend-yeah you know: popular, rich, awesome body, smart, maybe possibly evil just like her- the type every girl wants. I don’t understand anything! I mean, she got here and it was as if she conquered High School in no time, it’s like she has a freaking cult or something.
I can’t stand the way she walks in and everybody suddenly goes speechless. Freaking little devil, I have to say evil comes in concentrated little packages. Yeah, I know she’s still plotting something against Sophie. She can’t fool me with that fake dimply smile and shimmering green eyes that are only filed with malice. She can have everyone fooled but me. I know her better than anybody else and I know what she’s capable of.
“Hey, Penny!” said a familiar perky voice.
“Sophie,” I said with only as much enthusiasm as I could fake. I may hate my ex-best friend, but that didn’t make me like Sophie anymore. I mean, it’s her fault things got shitty in the first place. If she had never existed I wouldn’t be a social Pariah.
“Long time no see. How’s life treating you?” Should I claw her eyes out? Of course you can’t see me! I’m on the bottom of the food chain. I can’t believe she’s above me.
“Like four years ago; shitty. How about you still date that guy with the guitar?”
“Yeah.” Predictable, it wouldn’t surprise me if she ended up marrying him. Damn saint. “Hey, want to join me and Alex at lunch? It’s been such a long, long time since we had lunch together. I thought it’d be a good idea.” What did I say: Saint.
“Actually, I have to do stuff,” I said matter of fact. If I could avoid Alex for the rest of the year until graduation I’d be the happiest person in the world.
“Like what?”
“Like…pee. See you later.”
I wasn’t completely lying when I said I had to pee, I meant it. I did have to go to the bathroom, but at the same time I didn’t want to go. There’s something about closed places that freaks me out, especially when they’re so quiet and peaceful. Its kind of like in the horror movies, when the girl is peeing quietly in peace and then the killer suddenly appears out of nowhere with a knife ready to chop your insides and worst part is there’s no one hearing you. So, no matter how much you scream nobody will come to save you.
Just as I was getting out of the stall and heading for the sink I heard the door close. Okay, Penny, don’t panic. You’re imagining things, because you’ve seen too many scary movies this week. Nothing is wrong, Penny, just go to the door and open it. It will open. I headed to the door practically shitless scared out of my mind, I grabbed the door knob and… Fuck! This shit won’t open.
“Somebody open the door! This isn’t funny,” I yelled at the top of my lungs. Why did I ever jinx myself in the bathroom? “You little shitless brains, get me out of here!”
“I wouldn’t waste my time if I were you.” I heard the voice of my previous nightmares say in a sweet calm voice. Oh, God, she’s going to kill me! I bet she has a knife inside that red Prada bag. “It’ll open when I let you go... and don’t you know that screaming won’t help you?”
“What do you want Alex?” I said with as much hate and venom as I could throw at her.
“Oh, pretending to hate me,” she said in her fake I’m offended tone. “You know what I want… Your help.”
“You bitch! You’ve exiled me for almost four years. What in the world would ever make you think I would help you?”
“Now, now, don’t get too worked up. I think you exaggerate just a little. I wouldn’t call it exile… Wasn’t it your choice to leave our group?”
“You freaking blackmailed me, just because I wouldn’t help you fuck Sophie’s reputation!”
“So, I guess this still means no,” she said with a cold-all business-voice and her fake warm dimply smile fading away. “So be it,” Alex said and grabbed her purse from the sink striding toward me. “But let me tell you something.” As she got closer to me she grabbed me by the neck, thrusting me to the wall. I could barely breathe; she was choking the life out of me. “If you get in my way I will kill you!” She let go of my neck when I was nearly purple. That crazy bitch. She kept staring at me with amusement, like if by almost killing me she gained happiness. I’m beginning to think she really is the devil.
“If you hurt Sofia-”
“You’ll what? Tell everybody I’m a wicked monster. I doubt they’ll believe you. Besides, if you do try to say anything to her,” she said smiling viciously like a snake. “I guess mommy, daddy and the whole world will have to find out how you screwed Jeremy… what was his last name again? Oh, you know the football player. Penny, don’t you think you were a little too easy? I mean, common ninth grade.
“How did you get the video? He did it… right.”
“No. He was clueless.” She was smiling like the memory, of me begging her not to post any videos or photos of me and Jeremy having sex was just simply delighting.
She turned and left me on the floor of the bathroom practically crying. My life isn’t going to get any better, in fact its going to get much worst. I mean, if she is going after Sophie, she’s already a goner. She will never believe that Alex is evil and wants her practically deep-fried dead. Sophie thinks Alex is her best friend. God! I know this is the most stupid unselfish thing I’ll ever do. I’m going to save Sophie and unmask Alex… God, don’t let Alex kill me.
Well, since its Halloween I thought I should share this. Hope you like! Please critic!!!
