《Cherry Hill》XXXI. Let's Be Friends
Advertisement
You're just like my sneaker lace, always getting dragged and not that important. Sorry, was that not a good joke? Or is it only funny when you do it?
~ Scarlett's POV ~
We're back at school, yay...
Can you tell that I'm so excited to see people I want to hit with my car?
"Cheer up, Jesus Christ."
Xiomara spoke out as she dragged me inside of the school, I groaned and whined as we walked to our lockers.
She pinched my arm and gave me that Hispanic mom look warning, I sighed and grabbed my things.
"Look, my intuition is telling me Willow is no bueno."
Xiomara explained as I slammed my locker shut and looked at her, I nodded slowly and heard a familiar nail on chalkboard voice.
There is Americas It girl, Meredith walked in and smiled.
I grabbed my pencil from my bag and did a stabbing my forehead motion, I stopped when Meredith walked over to me with the fake smile she always had.
Xiomara grabbed my hand and glared at the girl.
"You look like you haven't slept in days, I mean I sleep better now with my boyfriend."
Meredith let out a witch cackle, I looked at her and did what anyone wanted to do.
I slapped the devil out of her, there was my red hand mark staining her cheek.
You're just like my sneaker lace, always getting dragged and not that important. Sorry, was that not a good joke? Or is it only funny when you do it?
I spat, but that's when I noticed it.
Jaden wasn't here, he didn't walk in with her.
"Where's Jaden?"
I asked as I looked around, I miss him but I didn't want him back. Yet at least.
Meredith smirked and did a dramatic sigh before answering my question.

"Well my boyfriend is coming later today, he's not feeling well."
I grabbed her by her wrist and pulled he closely, I know Jaden's not my boyfriend but he's my ex and I still had those lingering feelings for him.
We were face to face, very close that she could feel my minty, cool breath dancing on her lips.
"Do not hurt him Meredith, if you do, I will drag you for the second time."
I whispered before shoving her to the ground, I kissed both my middle fingers and showed them to her before grabbing Xiomara's hand and walking away.
When people say always take the high road, they obviously never met a 5'5 girl with anger issues whose vengeful.
When Meredith takes the low road, I take the express road to hell.
She does not want to see how low I could go, especially for this boy who wasn't even mine anymore.
The day dragged on and we were now at lunch, I watched as Jaden sat down at the baseball table.
Everyone seemed to stop shunning him and start speaking to him, that was a start of forgiveness.
"Willow's coming this way.."
Xiomara bluntly alerted me, I looked up and watched as the girl made her way towards me.
She had a smile that nobody could wipe, nobody but me of course.
"I got tickets to the movies, Scream 5. Are you in or out?"
Willow asked me, I was about to decline when I watched Jaden stand up and walk over to Meredith.
I looked at Willow and smirked at her.
"I'd love to."
I answered, Willow smiled at me and walked back to her table.
Xiomara punched my side causing me to groan in pain and look at her as I gripped my side, she looked at me as if I was making a big mistake which I was.

Once the bell rung, I got up and made my way to the lockers to grab my schedule since I forgot what class I had after lunch.
I watched as Willow left the cafeteria with a smirk playing on her lips, she looked at me and winked.
In my mind and heart, I was captured by this girl but every pretty girl has the ugliest intentions.
That's what I was taught anyways.
Everytime an image of Willow played in my head, I couldn't stop hearing the song of 'Let's Be Friends' by Emily Osment.
Let's be friends so we can make out, you're so hot let me show you around.
I was snapped out of my trance when Jaden waved his hand in front of my face, I looked at him and bit back the smile I had coming.
"You should come over tonight, I want to talk things out with you."
Jaden invited me over as he grabbed my things for me, I loved those things about him.
I was about to accept when I realized I had a date with Willow, I sighed and looked at him.
He was trying to mend things but I was busy, I shook my head and turned around.
We were now in front of my art class, I grabbed my things from his hand.
"I have a date tonight Jay, maybe tomorrow?"
I asked, I didn't want to not be friends with Jaden but I always didn't want to be around him right now.
Does that make sense or am I just crazy and toxic?
"Yeah, no yeah, for sure. Bye Scar."
He smiled and turned around, I watched as he walked down the halls and took a left.
I sighed and walked into the classroom, not only did I have to make sure Willow wasn't fake, I had to make sure things are fixed with Jaden.
Or, I can make sure Willow isn't fake and I can try to take Jaden back, I need just one happy ending this time.
Sounds like a solid plan Scar, let's go for it and make Meredith miserable during all of it.
I love it when a plan comes together when I don't have any common sense left to over think it all.

The Last Death Mage
Since time immemorial humanity has always feared and shunned what it didn’t understand. Over time this changed a bit to encompass things that didn’t conform to their thoughts and ideals. Due to humanity’s stubbornness with which the enforced their ideals many lives were lost and changed. When humanity first clashed with monsters and the beings that use magic, this trait caused many bloody fights. Over time the fights escalated into battles and full on war on several occasions. Humanity due to their adaptability and persistence won many of these altercations, causing huge casualties to the magical beings. Humanity did not come out unscathed however; many of the empires and civilizations noted in human history fell due to these battles and wars. Eventually over time humanity and the magical beings came to a sort of agreement. Magic and the beings associated with it faded into the background of history, being relegated to myth and legend. Humanity meanwhile advanced leaps and bounds once magic faded, leading to our current level of civilization. Not all magical beings were content with this, thus they did their own actions and killed or fed on humans. This has led to many organizations to be formed concerning this, on both the side of humanity and the side of magical beings. They regulate and control the use of magic as well as protect humanity from the darker things that are now not but myth to them, but there is a reason humanity instinctually fears the dark. Unfortunately there are always those that are unsatisfied by the status quo, and those that are prejudiced against things that are different. This is a story of a young man who wanted nothing more than to be normal. Unfortunately Fate and the world he lives in do not easily allow that this, thus his life changed, not for the better. Everyone has heard of or read stories about monsters and legends, heroes and villains, this is one such story. Hi, this is my second attempt at a story here, the first was before the major overhaul happened and i lost everything related to that story due to PC troubles. I hope you enjoy this if you dont please leave some constructive criticism in the comments. An Editor and the like will be needed, but I will edit as problems are pointed out and as i proof read. This story will have no set schedule, unless of course I decide to type up a bunch in succession then i will note that in a chapter beforehand. ADDED NOTE: most sexual content will be in Interludes or sub chapters with a .5 attached. Profanity and gore however shall be plenty in the actual story, though the descriptives for the gore may be added later. (For example, in the prologue that gave a hint at what happened to the MC, will be enhanced so that the gore invokes more descriptive/complete mental pictures, though it may wait.) ~Tyroth Gideon
