“Hey look, isn’t that the girl that saw you and that bitch from third period?” Phoenix teased.
“Yeah it is. And her name is Angela,” Luca said.
I could see their eyes practically boring into my skin. I shrugged it off though.
“Maybe it was me. Why does it matter?” I said.
“Well, come on over. You’re new, might as well find out about the new kid. After all, you probably have already heard about the three of us,” Phoenix teased.
I could tell he was trying to get under my skin, but I scoffed.
“Nah. I’d rather not. I’m not going to be here for very long,” I said.
I didn’t know the validity behind that statement, if I was going to be honest. I didn’t hear anything from my dad since I started here, but I thought my mom would come back to get me, whisk me away from this pretentious hellhole and bring me back to Vegas.
I mean, it was a nice thought, and while my dad did try to warn me, I didn’t believe him.
“Right, well whatever then Miss Voyeur,” Phoenix said.
“Maybe I am a voyeur, but at least I’m not trying to have kinky sex in the theater,” I purred.
They looked at me with surprise, and I could tell that Luca was thinking about how to retort back at me, but he didn’t have anything. Suddenly, the bell rang, silencing all three of these guys.
“Sorry, I have to go. Class is starting. Maybe next time you can catch me at an earlier time, and we can talk a little bit more,” I said with a smile.
I liked how they were shocked someone even spoke to them in a way that wasn’t kissing their goddamn ass. I wasn’t an ass kisser for just anyone, and I’d make sure that they knew this.
I went over to my seat, ignoring all of the stares and whistles from the other students. The last thing I wanted was for more attention to come to me.
But I could see those guys both looking at me, assessing me up and down. They were the big shots on campus, and I didn’t trust either of them. However, by lunch the atmosphere of the cafeteria changed.
I felt all eyes on me. Why though? Suddenly, I saw Tabitha from yesterday glaring at me. I turned to her, looking at her with a smile.
“Take a picture dear, it’ll last longer,” I told her in a snarky manner.
“Oh quiet down. We heard about you,” Tabitha said.
“What do you mean?”
“You were flirting with Luca and Phoenix during first period. We may not be together, but you should back off while you have the chance. I don’t take kindly to new meat stepping in on my territory,” she said.
“You have it all wrong. I’m not ‘stepping’ on anything. In fact, that isn’t flirting. Or maybe it is according to you people. But no, they were just bothering me. Kept asking me questions and shit, and they kept calling me a Voyeur. Maybe you should talk to the girl Luca was fucking, since they weren’t keeping that very quiet,” I said.
I wasn’t going to let Tabitha win. I could tell she didn’t like me from the moment she met me, and I knew she was trying her hardest to find some sort of dirt on me. Which I get, maybe that’s just how she did things, but for now, I was just trying to keep a low profile. Though, as I sat there, I mulled on a thought that I had.
I didn’t understand where she got this crazy idea that they were flirting. Seriously, if that’s her idea of flirting, she must have some weird ass relationships.
“Well, at least I’m not the daughter of officer snitch and a trashy singer,” Tabitha said loud enough for everyone to hear.
Officer snitch? I mean, my mom was a trashy singer if you put it that way, but I don’t know anything about the first part.
“What the hell are you talking about?” I said.
Luca and Phoenix immediately turned their heads as soon as Tabitha said that. she grinned at me, and then spoke. I could tell she was trying to get everyone in the cafeteria to listen to her. The girls that were following the Elites around yesterday all turned their heads, looking at Tabitha as she said her next words.
“Well, your dad is responsible for getting Luca’s girlfriend expelled. He played a key role in getting her kicked out of here after she gave drugs to another girl who OD’d. but, that’s not for me to discuss. He tried to get the guys expelled too, but they’re too high on the social totem pole to be kicked out. So think about that next time you try to ever flirt with any of them. Your dad is a fucking snitch, and I’m sure the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree,” Tabitha said with a snap.
She walked away, and I stood there. I felt like a target was on my back, all because my dd decided to be a goody-goody guy. I mean, I’m not a good girl like how my father is, and I already knew this was going to bite me in the ass. guess the only way to know was to wait and see what happens next. Little did I know, this would make my life a living hell.
Chapter 4
I could feel all their eyes on me, but then, it got worse. Phoenix and Luca walked over to me, moving closer and closer to me. I backed into the wall, feeling my lunch tray lay precariously against my hands. Luca and Phoenix were shocked, both of them unsure of what to say.
“I knew there was something about you that I didn’t like,” Luca said.
“But that’s my dad. I’m not like him.
