《The Academy 3》13

Much to my friends' disapproval, I've started going out with Skye. I hate to admit it, but she's been nothing but kind to me...
Flashback
"I know you like chocolate covered strawberries, so I got the best in all of Boston." She held it out for me to bite. "What do you think?" She tilted her head with a smile.
"It's really good." I moaned. "You didn't spend a lot on this, did you?" She gave me a teasing smile and didn't answer my question. "Skye!"
"Only the best for you, love." She kissed me. "How about me document this date?" I rolled my eyes with a small smile. "Smile." She then kissed me before snapping the picture.
"You're sneaky." I playfully hit her.
"Nah, just crafty. I know you like simple dates for some reason. If it were up to me, we'd be in an expensive restaurant by the Mediteranean Sea." She laughed while I averted my eyes. "Oh, and this is for you." She placed an expensive necklace around my neck. "This cost half a million." She beamed with pride.
"Thanks. It's beautiful." She smiled while I felt awkward with something this expensive as a gift.
Flashback over
Although, I find it annoying how much she splurges on me. At least Alicia was a bit more subtle. Ugh! I have to stop comparing them, but it's so hard when I see Alicia at school.
She continues to ignore me and allows her friends to bully me. Speaking of friends, what the hell is going on between her, Astrid, and Yasmine? They're like not friends anymore or something. The two don't sit with Alicia and her friends anymore. I mean... it's not like the two were struggling to find friends since they were popular.

Astrid and Yasmine would vent about Alicia being a bitch. I'd just nod my head because I didn't know what to say. They were angry she was engaged to a pretentious asshole. The last thing I wanted was to think about Alicia and Eric. It sucked that he was HOT! Like really, really HOT! Ugh!
Astrid and Yasmine were convinced that Alicia was still in love with me. I tried disputing their claims, but they refused to give in. To further their point, they surprised me with Alicia's sisters. We had to endure Tamsin's complaints about Alicia's fiancé. Ugh! I always shiver when I have to think about her marrying someone who isn't me.
According to Zara, Alicia was for the marriage while her parents were against it. Eric's dad brought it up, but Alicia accepted the proposal before her dad could reject it. Her sisters knew that Alicia's actions stemmed from the pain she was feeling.
My heart dropped when I heard Tamsin mutter something about Eric fucking Alicia. She noticed my pain and sent me an apologetic smile. Zara moved to offer me a hug. I felt so stupid right now. Of course Alicia would sleep with her fiance. I clung onto Zara as I sobbed into her chest. Tamsin, not understanding timing at all, demanded to know why I was with Skye. I didn't have time to respond since Yasmine and Astrid were surprised as well. They had no idea I was seeing someone else.
"You expect to win my sister back when you're fucking her enemy?!" Tamsin was irate.
"How could you date her? Don't you know what she did to Ali?" Astrid was mad.
"Clearly, not." Yasmine answered for her.
Astrid and Yasmine took turns divulging everything to me. Skye is 3 years older than Alicia. They first met when Alicia was 14. Skye was a fuckgirl who made it her personal mission to sleep with any girl she set her sights on. She was fascinated by the youngest McAllister, so she pursued her.

Skye was Ali's first for everything. She was her first kiss, first love, first time. Skye actually pressured Alicia into sleeping with her. She also played with Alicia's heart since she'd constantly hook up with other girls. Whenever Alicia would complain, Skye would let her know that they weren't together. Even though they weren't "together," Skye barred Alicia from being with other people. She wanted Alicia all to herself. She kept stringing the girl along and employing emotional and mental abuse. She'd gaslight the shit out of little Alicia.
Alicia somehow had conquered Skye's heart. Skye wanted to publicly announce her relationship with Alicia. Alicia didn't want that since she was still struggling with her sexuality and wasn't ready to come out. Skye kept pressuring Alicia, but she wouldn't back down.
Skye threatened to publicly announce their relationship. Alicia was between a rock and a hard place. She didn't want to come out, but if she refused then Skye would out her. Alicia then threatened to disclose the age gap and that Skye was having sexual relations with a minor.
Skye was fuming mad and struck Alicia. Skye then threatened to ruin any future relationship where Alicia was hopelessly in love. Alicia threatened legal action if she didn't leave the country. Skye was furious, but knew the royal family didn't need any scandal. Skye packed up and left for Monaco shortly after.
"That bitch!" We all flinched at Tamsin's outburst. "I really am going to kill her now!"
"Actually, we can use that bitch to our advantage." We turned to Zara. "How about we make our dear Alicia jealous?" A dangerous smirk appeared.
"And what better way to do it than with her rival." Yasmine fist bumped Zara.
"This isn't gonna end well." Astrid and Gemma sighed.
"Oh, God." I groaned.
