"Hey sweetheart, hurry up or else you'll be late for school"I heard my mum yelling.
"Coming mum!"I yelled back in response as i wore my perfume, grabbing my bag and then i ran downstairs to meet her.
"Hey sweetie,what took you so long?"She asked as i kissed her cheek.
"I took long at the shower"I said.
"It's alright honey,Um,a car dropped by with your car key,he said he's from the car wash"She said, handing me by car key.
"Oh yeah,he was supposed to bring my car today"I said.
"Ok dear,i made sandwiches for breakfast"She said.
"Oops sorry mum, I can't wait,i need to be in school early today"I said.
"Why honey?Do you have a project or homework to submit?"She asked.
"No but i have a movie to watch"I said.
"Movie?In school?What movie?"She asked.
"Don't worry mum,you can't understand,see you later,bye"I said hurriedly not waiting for her response as i ran out of the house racing to my car.
Today's gonna fun, I can't wait to see the look on Alex's face when he gets my little present.
It'll be epic.
I ploughed my car down to school.
I arrived at school with ny two best friends already waiting for me by the hall.
"Hey" I said.
"What's up babe, where were you?I called you like three times now and you didn't pick" Zoey said.
"Sorry i was driving,i took long at the shower today,for the first time in weeks i slept like a queen"I grinned.
"Argh, this girl!"Jane muttered.
"Chill girls, don't get worked up over nothing"I fist bumped their shoulders lightly as we strolled down the hall.
I went to my locker and placed my backpack in it, taking out my chem note and pen.
"Hey has anyone seen Alex?"I asked, shutting my locker.
"Nah,he hasn't come yet"Zoey said.
"Oh good,i wouldn't wanna miss the look on his face when he gets our little surprise package"I smirked.
"Yeah i bet his head will wanna explode"Jane said.
"Come on girls, let's go to class"I said and we left for our class.
***
"Olivia Henderson!"I heard Alex's voice ringing all through the hall.
"Boom"I said excitedly.
"Mission accomplished"Zoey laughed.
"You go girl!"Jane cheered.
"Come on girls, let's stroll a little"I said as we left for our secret hideout.
It was an empty classroom where we always spent our free periods in,it was like our chilling spot.
"I'm sure Alex's face must be fuming with anger right now"Jane said.
"It must be red like an overripe tomato" Zoey said.
"Oh my goodness, I can't wait to see him,just wait,in 5....4....3.....2....1"
"OLIVIA HENDERSON!"Alex barked as he barged into the classroom angrily with his squad behind him.
"See,my favorite loser is here"I said to my friends, smiling cheekily.
"Hey Alex,why are you barking so early in the morning?"I asked.
I just needed to push his buttons a little bit more in order to piss him off totally.
"How dare you do this to me,to my baby"He yelled, touching his hair that was already covered in red dye.
"What are you talking about Alex?What happened to your hair,oh my goodness"I faked concern.
"Cut the drama already bitch,i know you're the one that put that dye hanging in my locker"He said.
"Ouch...You just broke my heart Alex,how could you accuse me of such a thing"I pouted.
"This isn't funny Olivia!"He yelled and i laughed.
"Oh but it's funny when you ruined my car,this is just a little gift from me to you,the next time, I'll do something way worse than you can ever imagine"I smirked, standing up to face him.
He glared at me with every drop of venom possible.
"This isn't over Olivia, I'll be responding to you soon and i promise you this time it'll be something unimaginable"He said turning around, storming off angrily.
"Colour red looks hot on you by the way" I yelled after him, laughing as he went off with his minions.
"Liv 1,Alex 0" I smiled.
"That's my girl"Zoey said.
"You hit him hard this time"Jane said.
"Did you see the look on his face?it was hilarious"I laughed.
"Yeah he was swelling like meatballs on fire"Zoey laughed.
"That dye will definitely not come off from his hair until after a week, I'm the best"I smirked.
"Get ready babe, Alex will definitely not keep quiet about this, he'll definitely get his revenge"Jane said.
"I'm ready for him this time around, I'm prepared"I said smiling.
"Yeah, we're taking him down this time"Zoey said.
Oh Poor Alex, I'll so deal with him this time around.
***
"Sweetie you're home"Mum said as i hugged her.
"Yep,hey mum,how are you?"I asked
"I'm good sweetheart"She said.
"Ok mum, didn't you go to the office today?"I asked.
"I wasn't feeling too well so i didn't go but I'm okay now" She said.
"Oh mum,you didn't tell me,how are you feeling now?"I asked.
"I'm good honey, don't work yourself out, I'll go to the office tomorrow, I just needed some rest"She said.
"Ok mun, what about Dad?"I asked.
"He's at the office, he'll be back by evening"She said.
"Ok mum"I smiled.
"So what's the news?"She asked.
"What news?"I asked, confused.
"Usually you're always frowning and angry for ine reason or the other whenever you come home but today you seem to be in a good mood,what happened?"She asked.
"So you mean i can't smile anymore?" I asked.
"No honey, that's not what i meant, I'm just saying that it's rather unusual,you don't normally smile whenever you come home from school"She said.
"Well you're right, I'm in a really good mood today"I smiled.
"And why,if i may ask"She said.
"Nothing big,i just won a game so I'm excited"I said.
"Why does this sound like you were up to mischief again,what did you do this time?"She asked.
"Come on mum,why do you always doubt me so much,how could you think a whole me, Olivia Henderson will be up to mischief, give me one reason why you'd think such"I said.
"I can give you hundred reasons why I know and not think that you're up to mischief, I'm your mother Liv, I know you too well already, nothing gladdens your heart more than mischievousness"She said.
"Well............. you're not totally wrong about that....buttttttt..... you're definitely not right"I said, grabbing my backpack from the couch as i ran up the stairs hurriedly with her yelling on top of her voice, calling out to me.
Ha!
***
"Hey babe,did you hear the latest?"Jane asked.
"About what?"I asked.
"Alex's party, he's throwing a party this friday"She said.
"Who cares, I'm definitely not going"I said.
"What's wrong my sweet poop face?scared that I'll hurt ya?"Alex's voice rang from behind us.
We turned to see Alex standing with his dumbass squad.
"Hey,my favorite loser what are you doing here?"I paused,inspecting his appearance "Oh,it seems the dye came off"I smirked.
"I spent $2000 fixing my hair back you dimwit,but anyway let bygones be bygones, I've come to apologize for everything I've ever done to you,i know I've done a lot of mischief to you and I'm sorry,i think we should forget it all and start afresh"He said.
Wait...what now?
"Huh?"Zoey asked, looking shocked.
"Alex Williams? Apologize?"Jane muttered.
"He's drunk"Zoey said.
"No it's probably Drug influence"Jane said.
"I agree with Jane"Zoey said.
"He's mad"I said.
"High"Jane said.
"I'm not drunk or High or anything of that sort, I'm normal,all i want is for us to unite and just be friends,we will gain nothing by fighting all the time, let's just forgive each other"Alex said and then Jane being the dumbest amongst us stood up and placed her hand on his head and neck checking his temperature.
"Nope, he's normal,he isn't sick"Jane said and we glared at her.
"What?"She asked.
"Look y'all should cut the drama,I only came here to apologize"Alex said.
"What do you want Alex?I know you by now and you're definitely up to your cheap stunts, what's your plan this time?"I asked.
"Yeah Alex,tell us what you're up to this time, what's your game plan,one thing I've known about you these past years is that Alexander Williams never apologize"Zoey added.
"People change dumbo...I mean cuties.....you know....um....I'm not...em...used to being nice,but this is something i guess,we can start from somewhere"He stammered nervously.
"You can tell that to any fool you see,do i have fool written on my forehead?"I asked.
"Actually you do...um i mean you don't....."He trailed.
"You see what i was saying....Alex Williams can never be nice, it's not in his dictionary"Zoey said.
"Spill it Alex,what do you want?"I asked.
"Nothing....i just wanted to make peace,look guys, I'm tired of all this revenge thing,we could come together and make a great team,what do you think pals?"He asked.
"Pals?"Jane asked.
"Yeah, aren't we pals?"He smirked.
"Get lost Alex, I don't have time for your nonsense,as you can see we were busy before you came"I said.
"Busy discussing about me, just admit it babe, you're totally crushing on me"He said.
"Babe?call me that one more time and I'll cut off your balls and then feed them to you,not without grilling it of course,I can never even crush on you let alone think about you,you aren't worth it and your definitely not my type,how many times do i have to say this before you'll get it into your dumb head?"I yelled.
"Hey,this is a fresh start,we can just be friends and then we'll fall in love and live happily ever after"He said.
"Happily ever after.....My foot"I said.
"Just look at him,stupid dumbass,when he came here he called us poop face and now he's sweet talking,come on Alex,grow up, we've outgrown these cheap tactics of yours,find something better to do and if you're jobless then feel free to talk to me about it,my mum has been looking for a new driver,i bet you'll be of good use to her"Zoey said.
"Ha!i bet your mum will fire him immediately after hiring him for his terrible driving"I laughed.
"You have a point Liv"Jane said.
"Hey do you know who you're referring to,I, Alexander Williams,son of the owner of the most famous Shoe industry in the whole of America,son of the....."
"We get it already, bragger"Jane yelled.
"You see Alex, it's only poor people that always brag,we rich people don't brag,but since you wanna show off them let me inform you that you don't even know my family or where i come from,so stop bragging already and keep your filthy mouth shut"I said.
"Dimwit do you know who you're talking to, you're messing with....."
"Um, dude i thought you came here to make peace"One of his friends asked.
"Peace my foot, i only came here to invite them to my party,it was just my plan"He said.
"Ha! I knew he was definitely up to something as usual"Zoey said.
"You see Alex, there's only one thing that differentiates the both of us"I started.
"And that is?"He asked.
"Brains....which you lack.... you're very dumb, immature and stupid.... you're irresponsible,jobless, mannerless and brainless,now get lost before i do something you will regret!"I yelled.
"Well,since I'm in a very good mood today, I won't be responding to those insults but mark my words,soon I'll be giving you great comebacks that will leave you speechless"He threatened.
"Great,now run along with your puppets"I said.
"Puppets?"A blonde said standing in front of me.
I rolled my eyes at her, staring at her from head to toe.
"And who's this poor excuse of a broomstick, don't you eat or what?you look like a kwashiorkor patient"I said.
"Hey that's my girlfriend you're talking to"Alex yelled.
"I must say I'm so pained Alex, couldn't you have settled for any more better?Why this?"I asked.
"Hey watch your mouth or else I'll...."
"You'll what"I stood up to face her.
"I'll....deal with you"She said, trembling.
"One more word from you and I'll make sure that's the last word that will ever come from you again,now get lost"I said.
"Alex! Look at what she's saying to me,and you're here, you're not saying anything!"She barked.
"Run along Alicia, I'll talk to you later"He said and i almost burst out laughing.
"Really?And you call him your boyfriend?This nitwit doesn't even know how to treat girls well"I laughed and she stormed out of the room crying.
Some girls are seriously too emotional for my liking.
"I wasn't talking to you Olivia,mind your bizzwack"He said.
"Oh really?"I smirked.
"Yeah,you know what I'll deal with you later,sooner than you expect"He turned to face his minions "Let's go guys"He said.
"Oh....is the little Alex scared?Why are you cowardly running away"I pouted mockingly which made him to stop on his tracks.
"Oh I'll show you cowardliness"He said, flipping a paper card at me.
"What's this?"I asked.
"Be there by 9pm if you're brave enough,if you don't show up then I'll take it that you're a coward and you're scared to face me"He smirked, leaving the room, alongside his group of idiots.
"What's this?"I asked, looking at the paper card.
"It's an invite"Zoey said.
"He's invite you to his party,on friday night"Jane said.
"I'm not going, Alex is stupid"I said, throwing the paper on the floor as i trampled on it.
"You have to go Liv"Zoey said.
"Never, I'm not going to some dumb childish party, especially not one that is being hosted by my archenemy"I said, folding my arms as i sat down on one of the benches in the classroom.
"But you have to,if you don't go, you'll be seen as a coward,Alex will win,he purposely gave you that invite because he knows you'll never come and if you don't go it will only mean that he has won and you've lost,do you want that?"Zoey asked.
"Say whatever you want Zoe, I'm still not going and that's final"I said.
"Come on babe,you can't loose to Alex like this,you know how boastful that dude is, he's really full of himself and i know he'll most definitely make it a big deal if you don't attend the party, he'll tell everyone that you're just some coward who's afraid of him and isn't bold enough to show up at his party"Jane said.
"Really?Jane?Are these your own thoughts or Alex's?,cause i think this is coming from your own point of view"I said.
"Come on babe, don't be ridiculous, we're just stating the obvious"Zoey said.
"And I'm reminding you the obvious, I'M NOT GOING TO SOME DUMBASS PARTY BEING HELL BY AN ARROGANT AND GRUMPY DICKHEAD"i yelled.
***
"Are we seriously doing this?"I asked.
"Yup"Zoey said, popping the 'p'
It was friday night,and like every other day,my best friends were forcing me into doing something against my wish as usual.
After so much No's they finally won, obviously they threatened me.
Here's how our conversation went when i tried talking them out of this.
Zoey:Come on babe,one party can't be harmful.
Jane:I totally agree with Zoe.
Me: Girls come on, let's not do this,Alex is bad news,you never can tell what's going on in that thick dumb head of his.
Zoey:Babe,like you said he's dumb and so there's nothing he can do to us,if he tries anything stupid we'll beat him to a pole.
Jane:I agree with Zoe,he isn't smart enough to outsmart us.
Me:You see,this is the mistake we humans always make,we always make the mistake of underestimating our enemies, never underestimate your enemies,your enemy can be just as smart as you are or even smarter,the only thing that determines your victory is if you make sure you're always one step ahead of your enemy.
Zoey:Okay fine,we agree but you and i both know he's dumb and stupid,what can he do?come on let's just go to the party and have fun,who knows i might meet my prince charming there and we'll both runaway and live happily ever after.
Jane and I: ZOEY!!!
And that's how i ended up in front of my mirror with my two best friends painting up my face and making me look like a clown.
I don't know if it's just me or does anyone also think putting on makeup is the dumbest thing ever?Like seriously i prefer being natural but my best friends had stocks of make up and they were literally forcing me to make up.
"Are you guys done with the nonsense?" I asked.
"Nonsense?Olivia Marinette Henderson! Where are your manners!"Zoey exclaimed dramatically.
"Hey what's with the use of my middle name, I've told y'all not to call me by my full name ever!"I protested.
"Whatever,now sit properly let's finish your make up"Zoey said.
"It's been 20 good minutes and you're still not done?You know what?never mind,i think I'm all set now"I said, standing up but they pulled me back down on the chair forcibly.
"Hey!"I screamed.
"You've been talking too much lately,now we'll talk and you'll listen, got it?"Zoey said.
"Yeah,hope you got it"Jane said dramatically and we both rolled our eyes at her.
"What?so it's only cool when Zoey does it?"She Said and we shaked our head in disagreement.
"Come on,let me just apply the lipstick and we'll be all done"Zoey said as she took out a peach colored lip gloss from her makeup box which she applied on my lip.
"All set,now you're ready to kill"She said and i stared at my reflection in the mirror.
No that's definitely not me,the girl i was seeing isn't me.
"Hey what have you guys done to me!"I screamed.
"What?we only made you look a lot more hot,you know to have the boys drooling over you"I said.
"The last time i guy drooled over me,do you both remember where it landed us?It landed us here in this damn ass mess with that Arrogant and grumpy dickhead!"I yelled.
"I know but a little makeup wouldn't hurt would it?"Jane asked.
"I think I'm perfectly fine thank you, and i already have half of the boys in school drooling over me, I don't need any more admirers, I'm okay with the way i look"I said as i pulled out the beauty wipe from Zoey's makeup box and then wiped off the makeup from my face.
I went to the bathroom to wash away the remaining makeup off my face.
"Just look at how she ruined our hardwork" Zoey complained.
"This is all your fault Zoey,if you listened to me when i said you shouldn't do it, remember i warned you not to make her up,now see the result,you guys never take me seriously"Jane said.
"Will you both shut up already and get ready"I said.
"It's not fair Liv,we put so much effort in that makeup and you cleaned it off just like that"Zoey complained.
"I warned you earlier before you started so don't give me that rubbish, where's my dress?"I said.
"Here"Jane handed a paper bag to me.
"What's this?"I asked, yanking the dress out of the paper bag.
It was a short black strapless body fitted gown.
"I'm not wearing this nonsense"I said.
"Come on Liv,why do you always have to be so difficult" Zoey asked.
"Hey you both know i never put on gowns and definitely not for some...."
"Dumbass party being hosted by an arrogant dickhead, we've heard that a lot already,tell us something we don't know" Zoey cut in.
"I'm not wearing this and that's final,if you guys try to force me into wearing something i don't wanna wear then i won't go to the party,let Alex think whatever he wants"I said.
"But come on Liv,just look at the gown, it's beautiful, it's just as if it's made for you,your parents own one of the biggest fashion industries in both New york, California, Florida, Canada and England yet you have such bad tastes in clothing"Jane said.
"Hey i don't have bad tastes,i just prefer knickers and trousers"I said in my defense.
"Why not try something new"Zoey said.
"Please"Jane said with hopeful eyes.
"Fine...just this once and never again"I said.
"Yay, that's my girl!"Zoey said excitedly.
"Ok I'll just change quickly"I said.
***
"O.M.G,girl you look hot!"Zoey exclaimed.
"Nah, why's this cloth feeling so tight, I can't even breathe properly"I complained.
"Whatever, it's just for one night,just manage it for the night"Jane said.
"I bet all the boys won't be able to take their eyes off you"Zoey said.
"Hey if that's your plan then just remove such thoughts from your head, I'm definitely not interested jn any guy,not now or ever"I said.
"Come on babe, you need to get a boyfriend already,you have so many boys trooping for you yet you keep turning them down"Jane said.
"That's because none of them deserve me,what do boys want?boys only wants a girl they can fuck to stupor,use and then dump whenever they get bored"I said.
"You know not all guys are like that,you need to get over Aiden already,you need to move on and forget him"Zoey said.
"Oh i have, I've moved on already and that's why i definitely don't wanna get into any relationship with any dumbass nigga,if any guy tries to hit on me I'll chop his teeth off"I said.
"But...."
"No buts,i think I'm done with this discussion already, let's get out of here or else we'll be late and I'm sure Mr Alexander Stupid Williams would be eagerly waiting for me right now, it's bad manners to keep our foes waiting"I smirked, grabbing my purse as i swaggered out of the room in my booted heels.
We arrived at the club in no time,we pulled into the parking lot and left the car, heading inside the building.
There was loud music blaring all through the club with sweaty teenagers dancing and drinking whereas some were making out disgustingly causing my stomach to rumble in disgust.
"The party is already in full swing,seems like we're late"I said.
"And it's who's fault?" They both glared at me angrily.
"Ok sorry sorry, I know i delayed you guys,but hey,i was the one invited to the party not you guys,so why are you so worked up over nothing?"I asked.
"But still, it's a party and you know how Zoey is about parties!"Jane protests.
"Ok sorry sorry,now let's just watch the party"I said.
"Watch the party?"Zoey asked.
"Yep,what else are we supposed to do?"I asked.
"You're totally unbelievable, I'm going to have fun,see you" Zoey said, storming off into the crowd.
"That's my cue"Jane said and before i can protest she varnishes.
"Great"I muttered.
"You know what else is great?"The stupid familiar voice that i can remember even in my sleep,saud behind me.
I turned to see Alex smirking at me.
"What do you want?"I asked.
"Olivia....Olivia....Olivia, where are your manners,i invited you to a party and you couldn't even say thank you"He said, placing his arms around my shoulder. I immediately slapped his hand off my shoulder.
"Thank you?"I asked.
"You're welcome"He said, smirking.
"Huh?I didn't even....you know what? nevermind,i shouldn't waste my saliva with you"I said walking away.
"Come on Love, where are you going?"He asked, trailing after me.
"Call me that one more time and I'll make sure you become impotent"I said.
"Ouch,my sweet babies,you wouldn't dare"He said, placing his hand on his spot.
"Dare me"I said.
"Why do you always have to be so mean and grumpy?"He asked.
"Me?mean and grumpy? I should be asking you that because you're the mean one here"I said.
"Me? You started it"He said.
"What did i start?just because i rejected your little proposal,awww,little Alex couldn't handle a little refusal"I mocked.
"Hey watch it, I never liked you anyway, I only wanted to have you in my bed"He said.
"Well....read my lips, I'm the girl no one,not even you,will ever have"I said.
"I promise you Liv,One day you'll end up on my bed where you rightfully belong"He said.
"You wish Williams....you wish"I laughed.
***
"Hello everyone,thanks for coming to my party, I'm glad you all came,why wouldn't you, obviously you guys can't refuse coming to this handsome guy's party,you know....."He barked with the microphone.
"You know he's just a show off"I scuffed.
"Yeah i agree, he loves bragging all the time, someone needs to teach him a lesson"Zoey said.
"And i call on Olivia Henderson to come on stage"
"Wait...what?"I asked.
"Come on Liv,are you shy?"He asked with the microphone and everyone turned to face me.
"Why should i go on stage?"I asked.
"I don't know, I think he said something along the lines of a speech or something"Zoey said.
"Come on girl,go, everyone's looking at you, today is his birthday just do it"Jane said.
"Fine"I said and got up, heading to the stage.
"What?"I frowned at him.
"You've made my birthday worth remembering"He said.
"Huh?"I asked, confused.
"Happy birthday to me"He smirked mischievously and then before i could register what was happening,i was covered in slime.
Alexander Fucking Williams poured slime on me!
