♧SEYLAH♧

I walked through my front door still feeling Damien's burning gaze it only made the smile on my face widen.

I closed the door and was greeted with the aroma of Rosa's special breakfast. She only makes it once a month and I guess today was the day.

I went into the kitchen to see if I could grab a bite. "Miss Seylah. How are you?. You didnt come home last night". Rosa said while tapping my face to check for God knows what.

"It got late so I spent the night with a friend ". I said with a small smile. "Did Dad look for me?".

"Sorry dear he didn't. He left early this morning". I could see the pity she had in her eyes and I hated it

"Its okay. I'm sure he's just busy. How about Aviva did she ask about me"

"She didn't miss Seylah".

"Okay. Please bring my breakfast upstairs ". I said then turned on my heels and went upstairs.

Honestly what was I expecting. Its not like they care if I disappear all night.

I got into my room and was met with Ashley trying but failing to climb through my window while Candice and Brooke watched from the sidelines.

I walked over and helped her in. "Thanks Seylah at least I have one friend who cares". Ashley said shooting death stares at the girls.

"Its not our fault your ass is so fat". Candice said.

"Blame it on your roots". Brooke chipped in.

"You guys do know I have a front door right and also a doorbell". I said while I sat on my bed.

"We thought your dad might be home and we didn't want him getting mad incase you weren't home yet". Ashley said. "We were really worried about you".

"That's sweet guys but I'm okay and my dad isn't home". I said. "He never is". I said in a whisper.

"Okay okay forget all that. Now spill the tea who was that hot joker guy you left the party with". Ashley said and they all sat down next to me.

"For starters I dont know his name. I called him mister J all night"

"While you made love". Candice said in a teasing voice.

"We didnt hook up. We just drove around and talked".

"BORING" they all said in unison.

"It wasn't actually. It was fun hanging out with a complete stranger. And he gave me awesome advice"

"What kind of advice?" Brooke asked

"Let's just say the world is about to meet a more devious Seylah Thomson "

"Sounds fun. We're in".

*****

Mondays.

Nothing kills the soul more than the smell of hormonal teenagers and middle aged teachers.

I went over to my locker to wait for Ashley and the girls to arrive.

"Hey bitches". I said as I got a glimpse of them.

"Heyy". They said in unison

And then my eyes landed on Damien who was walking side by side with that girl he brought to the Halloween party.

Without the whole costume I could evaluate her features more. Her straight blonde hair that landed just a few inches below her chest. A huge percentage of her face was covered with an enormous pair of glasses.

She wore Jeans and a really large hoodie, it was hard to get her shape because of it.

"Who is the female harry potter next to Damien?". I asked my girls.

"Ew. That's Victoria sprayberry. Mrs sprayberry's daughter huge weirdo. I wonder why satan's talking to her". Ashley responded.

"Wasnt she the one he brought to Scott's Halloween party". Brooke said.

"Yeah she's the one. Maybe he likes her". Candice chipped in.

Listening to them talk made the wheels in my head start turning. A little smirk crept on my face.

"Oh no she's doing the face". Ashley said.

"What face?" I asked.

"The you have an evil plan face". Candice replied.

"Its not exactly evil. I just think our little outcast could use some friends".

"why??" They said in unison.

"The saying goes keep your friends close and Damien McKay's love interest even closer"

"But that's not how it goes". Ashley noted out.

"Please be quiet". Candice said.

The bells finally went off for lunch time and it was time for us to regroup and continue with the scheming.

We all went to the washroom together and to my surprise there she was icky vicky.

She was drying her hands when we walked in.

When our eyes met I could feel her tremble. But lucky for her I'm not a bully. At least not physically.

"I know you". I said out loud grabbing the attention of everyone present.

"What are you all staring at. Get out now". I said coldly. I smirked as I watched everyone hurriedly leave the washroom

"Not you". I grabbed on to Victoria's arm.

"Umm...do you need something?" She asked her voice filled with fear.

"You were at Scott's Halloween party, weren't you?". I asked

"Y..y..yes".

"Omg. Your costume was so cute and funny". I said with the best fake smile I could muster.

"Thanks my mum made it". Poor girl actually took that as a compliment. I kinda feel bad using her to get back at Satan.

Not really.

"How come I've never seen you around school before?"

"We're in the same Chemistry class. I sit right in front of you "

"How come I never noticed you. Oh well. I like you now. So you're hanging out with us after school". I told her plain and simple.

I'm getting a Regina George vibe from all this. And I love it.

"Its a school night. I cant. My mum wont let me". She said with her face down.

"Okay give me your mum's phone number I'll talk to her".

"No need to talk to her. Its cool". She replied.

"Oh wait now I remember ". Brooke spoke up.

"What is it Brooke?". I asked.

"I remember her now. She's icky vicky sprayberry". After she said that we all laughed I watched Victoria's face go dark.

"Oh right. We called her that in middle school ". Ashley added.

"Middle school and all of Freshmen year". Victoria said in a whisper but it was loud enough for me to hear.

"Your mum's the counselor right?" Candice asked

Victoria nodded her head in response.

Now I was really wondering what Damien sees in her. Her mum is creepy and Victoria is just plain awkward.

Maybe it was like those high school movies. Bad boy meets weirdo. They fall in love and mean girl does everything in her power to break them up.

I guess I'm the mean girl here. But I'm not making the mistake of exposing my intentions for young Vicky too soon. Honestly I dont really care about her, she just met the wrong guy at the wrong time.

"Let's go to your mum's office then". I suggested.

"Wait what". She objected, but I couldn't care less I was already on my way to Mrs sprayberry's office with my girls right behind me and a scared looking Victoria not too far behind.

I barged into her office without even the slightest notice.

"Excuse me miss Thompson but you could have at least knocked". A frightened looking middle aged Mrs Sprayberry said to me.

"Sorry ma'am blame it on my lack of patience. But I'm not here to cause trouble I'm here to ask for your permission for your daughter to hang out with me today after school. Love your sweeter by the way. Is that Garfield?". I asked referring to her horrible looking cat sweeter that has Garfield the lasagna loving cat right at the centre.

"Why yes it is". She said with a huge smile on her face.

"Thanks ma'am your daughter will be home by 10".

"Wait what...I didn't..." I walked out of her office before she could even finish her sentence.

I was greeted outside the office with Ashley Candice and Brooke who all had smirks on their facing and a terrified Victoria.

"Your mum agreed. Meet us at the parking lot immediately after school. Dont be late...... Bye now". I flashed a smile and walked away with my girls right by my side.

It didnt take long for the giggling to start.

Honestly this is going to be fun.
