"Why do you even care, You're not my dad." Chloe crossed her arms. Josh's eyes moved down to her naked thighs and Chloe became uncomfortable as she only stood there in an oversized shirt and her panties. Josh let out a low mumble that she couldn't hear. Chloe pushed him out of the room and slammed the door. Chloe killed the hours by getting ready for school ahead of time and watching full house re-runs on her laptop. And soon enough, the sun was risen and Abbie was down stairs brewing up some tea for the morning.
Chloe headed downstairs in her school uniform, her keys dangling in one hand and the straps of her backpack in the other. She poured some cheerios into a bowl along with milk and leaned on the counter as she ate. She watch Abbie and Josh share secretive glances and Chloe grumbled under her breath, knowing well that Josh had told Abbie about last night. "So, Josh told me you were out last night?" Abbie crossed her arms and Chloe rolled her eyes.
"Yeah, I was at my therapist's house, having sex with him." Chloe bluntly spoke as she brought the spoon of cereal back up to her lips. Abbie smacked Chloe's arm, telling her to quit lying and tell her where she really was. "I was at a friend’s house," Chloe mumbles, "Daniel's house. We were just talking, nothing more."
"And so, why did he decide that he wanted to speak to you so late at night, what were you even talking about, hm?" Abbie raised her eyebrows.
"We were talking about how much I hate you and that I can't wait till the day I get my letter back from the college of my dreams so that I can be away from you. I have to get to school so we're done talking." Chloe stated, leaving her dish on the counter for Abbie to clean up as she left the house to get to school. Once she arrived at school, she was opening her locker, stuffing her textbooks into the small slot before rubbing her eyes tiredly. All this time of staying awake early in the morning, she was only now feeling tired.
"Rosie," She heard someone call to her as she looked around spotting the vicious captain of the cheer squad nearing her. What the fuck does that bitch want? Stacy Clements walked near her with some of her friends, each and every one of them adorning a cheer leading outfit that Chloe has so badly wanted in her sophomore year of high school when she tried out for the team but they denied her because she didn't sport a great figure back then.
"Yes, Stacy?"
"So like, is your new aspiration to be a porn star?" Stacy innocently smiled and Chloe furrowed her brows in confusion.
"I'm sorry, what?"
"And Mr. Payne, Really? That just shows how low you would stoop just for sex." Some of the girls giggled behind their friend as they watched Chloe being belittled in front of their eyes. Chloe's eyes grew wide as she thought they were talking about the video of her that Robert filmed. b-but they couldn’t have, surely only Robert had the video so how would they know about it?
"Okay, seriously, what are you talking about? Just leave me alone and go bother someone else," Chloe mumbled but Stacy stopped her from walking away.
"Seriously, you don't remember fucking the principal? God, here, I'll show you the video to jog your memory." And just like that, a video was being shown on the small screen of a phone, Chloe's face being shown in the camera, her body being bare and exposed to the eyes of whoever else had the video. Chloe's hand moved up to her mouth as she stared at the video in horror. The only question was, how did it get out?
Chapter 13
"So, did you do it because he'd give you better grades? Please do tell." Stacy taunted Chloe. Chloe could only stare in shock at the phone as a million bad thoughts ran through her skull and down to her spine where it gave her chills. When Chloe's eyes began to get glossy, Stacy smiled and brought her phone back into her bag. "You know, You're really pathetic if you think sleeping with the-" Stacy had no time to finish her sentence as Chloe's fist collided with her eye, seething out the words 'Shut the fuck up'. And just like that, a horrendous girl fight happened amongst the peers of the school, watching a cheerleader and a troubled teen hit and smack each other with the occasional hair pull. Some students look horrified of the situations and others simply pulled out their phones and began recording the fight while they provoked the two girls by cheering on one another. Two friends of Stacy held Chloe back as Stacy took a hit at Chloe right in the stomach, making whimper out as she struggled to get out of the girls hold. With all the shouting and fussing in the hall, a teacher pulled out of her classroom, stopping the fight from going any further as she pulled them apart and began walking them to the principal’s office. And as the teacher explained to Mr. Payne that there was a fight going on, he had to ask what it was about. Chloe began feeling uncomfortable knowing that the fight was based on him. Stacy went on about how she could sue Chloe for hitting her first, and that the only right punishment was to suspend Chloe both from school and from prom which was coming up shortly. "You both are to get equal
