CHAPTER 4
Rachel sat back on one of the classroom chairs smiling at her little achievement. It felt good for once to
confuse people and finally get what you wanted which was Nelson. Even though she couldn’t have him,
none of them will get a chance to.
She has already spoilt Ruby’s chance with him and now she was on her way to spoil what he and Tina
have.
When Ruby left for home she knew that it was chance to quickly get the guy she had been longing for all
this while. She threw herself at him but he didn’t even ‘catch her’. She did so many things to get his
attention but it didn’t work out. Time was running out. Ruby would have been back soon so she had to
think of something to get him on her side.
So she lied. She told him her friend had another boyfriend and was just using him. She showed him
pictures of Ruby and a mystery guy. But that mystery guy happened to be her brother who is just friends
with Ruby.
Even after that, she was definitely happy that he got angry with Ruby but she expected him to confide in
her but instead he went to cry on Tina’s shoulder. God she couldn’t help it. She risked her friendship and
that stupid bitch did nothing and yet she got him. So then she had to do something again.
And she sure hoped it worked. Right now Ruby should have given Tina a piece of her mind and Tina must
be feeling guilty which means a break up could be happening soon.
‘’That how you twist things to your favour.’’ She said smiling looking out the window.
Rachel froze. ‘Why are they all together’ she thought.
Nelson to a seat beside her, ‘’why are you such a liar damn it!’’ he yelled.
Rachel flinched, ‘’I don’t know what you are talking about oh.’’
‘’Oh cut the crap, you lied to the both of us about Ruby and then again you lied to her about I and
Nelson.’’ Tina said crossing her arms with a stern look on her face.
‘’I … er…’’
‘’You were my friend and see how you rubbished me. Why would you even do that eh?’’ Ruby asked
without allowing Rachel to finish her sentence.
All of them were now staring at her waiting for her to give them an answer. It seems everything had just
gone straight to hell then.
She sighed, ‘’fine I admit I lied. But it was just for fun okay, no biggie.’’
Ruby immediately slapped her across the face. Her lie did not only break her bond with Nelson but it
also broke her friendship with Tina.
Kristina gasped. ‘’Ruby you didn’t have to do that.’’
‘’Are you happy now?’’ Ruby asked ignoring Tina.
Rachel held her face and looked up at Ruby. Of course she wasn’t happy, all her hard work went to hell.
For once it felt good to be a villain and at the same time it felt terrible. She scrambled to her feet and
ran out of the class to tend to her aching cheek from Ruby’s slap.
The three of them just sat there quietly waiting for someone to talk until ruby broke the silence.
‘’I want you guys to know that I have nothing against you and I don’t blame you for believing her
because I also believed her lies to.’’
‘’I’m so sorry.’’ Tina muttered.
‘’will you be okay?’’ Nelson asked.
She nodded, ‘’yes I will but I just won’t be around you guys too much until I’m able to get over this. I
wish you both the best and like I said, it’s nobody’s fault.’’ Ruby said as she left the class.
Of course she wasn’t okay. Her heart was literally bleeding seeing her best friend with her love interest.
Who would be okay with that? But at the same time it wasn’t their fault, they had been victims of a lie
but in the end some people win and some get hurt. Too bad she was the one getting hurt.
The End.
