"Do you have any sins to confess?"

I looked at the pastor barely through my black eye I received from pushing off yet another guard who had tried to rape me.

"I've been having murderous thoughts," I confess, "The only thing stopping me isn't my faith but the fact that I could be out of here soon."

Pastor Matthew crouched down to my level, "Who did this to you, Regina?"

"You know who." I respond darkly, "You've given reports on this but they do nothing."

Sighing the pastor sits back in his chair, "I've tried, Regina. They don't listen to me. I'm going to pray for you and your well-being. God will protect you."

I smiled weakly, "Not even God can protect me from this." I tell him, "I just want forgiveness for all of my actions."

"Violence isn't commended only the bible. Only God has the power for righteous anger." He instructs, "Do 100 Hail Marys to ask for forgiveness."

I nod my head slightly. "Father," I say whilst getting up, he looks up at me, "You not finding other people to tell this about makes you liable for anything that happens to me." I tell him, "I just hope there is enough Hail Marys so God may forgive you too."

As we Ethan parked the car in the parking lot, people clapped.

I furrow my eyebrows getting out of the raised jeep to meet Vivian who had been waiting for me. "What is their problem?"

"You've been selected as the Senior Queen." She informs me and I can't help but roll my eyes so far I'm pretty sure it met the back of my head.

"You've got to be kidding me." I sigh, "One kiss and everyone acts like we're some golden couple."

"Caleb's claimed you." Ethan shrugs, "Once claimed there's not much argument there. You should probably ask him what your relationship is."

The people parted like the Red Sea like they did when they found out I killed someone but this time the look in their faces was envy. Jesus Christ these people have serious issues.

"It's nothing. All we did was kiss, I told him I like him and vice versa then my clothes got stolen. We barely hang out one on one." I admit opening my locker to put my bag down and taking my things out

"Well maybe you can-"

"Hi, Regina." We all turn to see the girl who had interrupted Vivians idea. "Name's Jaime McNight, relative of Kayla, I just wanted to let you know that I don't follow her ideas and craziness-"

"Please get out of my face." I dismiss really not in the mood for anything Kayla related

"Yes, Okay." She muttered and shifted to the right so we can keep walking

"Is this what I'm going to have to deal with?" I ask exasperated as we walk towards my home room class.

"Pretty much." Ethan nods, "Gets quiet draining sometimes but it has its perks."

"I have too much on my mind to even deal with this." I utter. I still have to find a way to expose Kayla and find Bambi's family which my PI still hasn't given me information on. I guess her family have gone through the extremes to keep distance between them and her

"Oh before I forget, Mom wanted me to tell you that we have dinner with the Mensa's tonight." Ethan drops as we stop at my home room.

I raise my eyebrow, "Why are we doing that?"

"I told you, her and Tiffany, Caleb's Mom, are really good friends. Tiffany and Richard want to meet you." Ethan fills in and I sigh before nodding my head.

"There she is! Queen of all." Quinton exclaims as I sit down next to Caleb who smiles up at me

"Shut up," Kayla hisses at him before whipping her head towards me, "You know the people have it all wrong. You can't be queen unless you're his girlfriend. Last I checked you're just a single murderer."

Sparing with this girl is actually becoming tiring. She has the same old tricks and I'm just more resourceful and smarter. I would find a way to drop in the bankruptcy but I feel like she has something else under her sleeve.

"Kayla don't you get tired of listening to yourself speak?" I question leaning back into my seat as Caleb puts his arm around me and kisses my forehead.

"I don't stop speaking till I get answers." She maintains, "I just find it so convenient how everyone seems to forget this girls record. I can't be the only one that can't get over it."

"They don't say anything cause they're scared you'll repeat it." Paulette pipes in, "They don't want to be next dead."

"Oh okay, I wouldn't want that," I say faking concern before looking around the table, "The only people on the list is Kayla and Paulette" I say sincerely

Quinton sniggered and I feel Caleb's mouth next to my ear, "Please stop making threats like that. Someone's going to report you, you're on parole."

I roll my eyes knowing his right, "Okay, they're not on my list." I correct, "There on someone's list, therefore I'm not liable for any injuries you sustain as you continue to talk shit."

"See she can't control herself." Kayla exclaims, "She just has to keep making threats."

"I respond to actions Kayla." I inform her, "You stop what you're doing and I'll pull back. It's all on you."

Everyone's eyes moved towards her and she narrows her eyes at me as if trying to gauge whether I'm truly over it.

"Never." She states after hesitating causing me to shrug

"It's your funeral." I comment picking up a fry and putting it in my mouth, "How was everyone's weekend?"

They had gone into some sort of discussion and Caleb was looking at me weirdly, "What is it?" I whisper to him.

"I don't want you getting hurt or in trouble." He reiterates, "I've told you, if you need me to to-"

"Caleb, I'm not going to touch the girl." I say, "I don't even have plans for her yet. It's just a warning."

"If she ends up dead, Regina. You'll be a prime suspect." He says with serious eyes and I nod my head understanding

"If she ends up dead it's cause someone else thinks she's a bitch which the world doesn't need. They'll be doing me a favour." I shrug and he looks at me for a while before shrugging.

"You're coming to my house tonight." He comments playing with my hair

"I heard." I mention, "I don't know why your parents want to meet me though."

"Your mom talked about you a lot whilst you were gone." He says to me, "With the added fact of my sister being in jail she-"

"Your sister?" I interrupt

"Yeah," he replies frowning, "The one we talked about in the pool."

That was his sister? I thought it was some girlfriend. I must have not paid enough attention to all the girls in rainview because I do not know anyone in there with the last name Mensa.

"Yeah I remember." I mutter, "I just didn't think she was your sister."

Caleb nods his head, "I am kind of vague about the whole thing." He admits, "It's a sore subject."

My lips fall into a thin line as I nod understanding. I kiss him on the cheek to cheer him up and it works since his grins back at me.

"You can always talk to me about her." I inform him and his grin stays on his face as he nods in response.

"Oh would just stop rubbing it in our faces." Kayla's screechy voice says pulling me away from Caleb's eyes, "It's making me sick."

I look at her blankly before turning to Caleb and kissing him on the lips just in spite, his arm that was around my shoulders he used to hold my head as he kissed me back. This boy is going to get me into trouble.

Once we finally separated, the smirk on his face was undeniable as was the silence in the room. I gave him a coy smile before looking back at a red Kayla.

"You're not throwing up." I comment with a confused face, "Guess you're not that sick."

"Watch your back, Regina. You're not going to last long." With that she gets up and leaves the room.
