As Melody took her seat next to Lauren in math, Ruby stalked up to her, a furious expression pinching her face. Melody rolled her eyes. Great, what did I do this time? She noticed that Ruby’s Clones weren’t with her.
“What is your problem?” Funny, I was thinking the same thing.
“Excuse me?” Melody replied, struggling to push back her already-rising temper.
“What did you say to Kelley and my friends to make them turn against me?” Ruby accused. Melody’s eyebrows shot up.
“Why would I need or want to talk to your friends?” Melody replied, her voice coming out strained from trying to yell until she managed to get some sense into this dumb blonde’s head.
Ruby’s scowl deepened. “Because you wanted to get even with me for making you think that Jeffery actually liked you.” The last words stung, but Melody wasn’t to give Ruby that kind of satisfaction. She lifted her head with dignity and met Ruby’s blazing eyes, steadily returning her glare.
“Ruby, how many times do I have to tell you that I don’t care about you, Eric, or anyone that goes to this school? If you could just get that through your rock-hard head, then we could both move on with our lives. And if this is still about Eric, then listen to me carefully. I. Don’t. Like. Him.”
Ruby’s eyes narrowed. “Whatever, freak. But I know it was you who trashed my reputation. But don’t think you’ve won yet. I’ll get even, and what I did to you before will be nothing compared to what I can and will do to you .” She glowered at Melody one last time before returning to her seat.
“What was that about?” Lauren asked, seriously confused.
“Ruby thinks I’m l mad at her over the Jeffery thing and that I got even by having her friends turn against her,” Melody replied, rolling her eyes. Lauren grimaced.
“What’s wrong?” Melody asked.
“I have a feeling Eric has something to do with this,” she replied. Lauren looked like she was about to say more, but at that moment, the teacher walked in, and she was forced to end the conversation and turn to the board where the teacher now stood. Good timing, Melody thought sarcastically. She sighed. She had a feeling Lauren was right. Between Ruby and Eric, those two always managed to drag her into some kind of drama. And she always ended up having to clean up the mess.
