Chapter Thirteen

Amber

I watch my back at school like a paranoid crackhead watching for the cops. I’ve turned my head so many times that my neck is sore, but I still fling it around at every loud voice or the sound of feminine laughter. I’m not going to let myself get ganged up on again.

I’ve caught glimpses of Flint throughout my classes, but he avoids eye contact with me. Maybe he doesn’t want to be seen with me at school, but it’s weird. I thought we had something going between us, even if it was a little fucked up. I’m supposed to join him at the party, and somehow get alcohol beforehand. Maybe it’s better that I don’t.

I almost feel happy that Flint is ignoring me, but something doesn’t feel right about it. This morning, he seemed eager to speak with me, like he was genuinely interested in me, at least from a sexual standpoint. Now, he won’t even look at me. What gives?

“Hey bitch,” a shrill voice says from behind me.

I turn around, already dreading the encounter that’s to come. My fists are clenched in preparation for a fight. I’m not going down so easily this time.

A young woman around my age glares at me, her thin arms crossed over a large bosom. Her hair is dark brown, and her eyes are vivid brown, not so dissimilar to Flint’s hazel orbs. The only difference is that Flint’s eyes are full of thought and intrigue, while hers are inexplicably empty and dead.

She may have just called me a bitch, but she’s the one who looks like one. Behind her are two other girls, both with their arms crossed and sporting identical vacant glares aimed at me.

“What do you want?” I ask, standing tall.

“Oh, so you want to play tough?” she asks.

“I’m not playing tough, genius, I just want to know what you want. Were you the one who destroyed my car?” I ask, diving right into the meat of it.

“Maybe, maybe not,” she says, letting out a fake laugh and turning to her friends. They fake laughs with her.

“You must be Edyth then,” I announce, evaluating her face for a reaction.

She squints at me. “Says who?”

“Says Flint,” I reply, choosing to drag him into this. If I can’t have him on my side, then he’s no good to me anyway. If she doesn’t like him, then he and I are in the same boat. That’s my hope, anyway. I don’t really know what he would do if the cheer squad started ganging up on him too.

Edyth balls her fists up, and for a moment, I think she’s going to throw a punch. I take a step back.

“I knew he was defending you,” she hisses. “You little slut.”

“Yeah, and if you try anything, he’ll beat you to a pulp,” I say, trying to bluff my way into a position of power. I have nothing to lose.

“Flint is a pussy,” she replies. “He won’t do shit.”

“You wanna bet?”

“Yeah, actually, I do,” she says, stepping forward.
