Mistaken

Chapter 5

Sunday arrived and Beatrix was already going home. I told her about what I heard from eavesdropping on my adoptive parents conversation yesterday. We were talking about how we could get the truth out of my adoptive mom.

"I say we drug her and she'll just tell us! It always works!" Beatrix suggested.

"And how exactly are we supposed to get the drugs?" I asked her.

"Easy. I know some people back home who would give me them for free!"

"Well how do we give them to her?"

"In a drink! Duh!" She replied.

"You just have an answer for everything, huh?" I told her.

"Pretty much."

"Well then, if you don't mind me asking, why did you leave Los Angeles ?"

Her face grew dead serious. "Long story short, don't ever go out with older guys, and be careful."

Then she just got her suitcase and left, without saying goodbye or anything. I stood there dumbfounded as I heard her car start and take off.

Was Logan really that bad? How was I going to get out of this? I couldn't help but think I was in really deep s**t.

It was Monday and I didn't want to go to school, but yet, here I was. I had gotten paranoid over seeing Logan since I never answered him on "our" relationship. I was scared to see what he would do if I said no.

The bell rang for first period to start and I wanted to waste time, so I wouldn't have to see Logan right away. I went to check my locker, even though I didn't need anything from it.

I got to my locker and opened it. There was a note with the letter "A" stamped on it. Oh great. I opened the letter and started reading it.

Dear Imposter,

You may have him fooled but obviously you're just playing with his heart. You're going to pay for it when he finds out you're not really Beatrix, but why does he have to hear it from me? You should tell him soon. Or else. On second thought, just keep it up. You have been doing a great job after all right? You may have him fooled but not me. He has abandonment issues so prepare to pay for it when and if you do tell him. Like I said, KEEP IT UP.

Love, Aphrodite

Shit. I knew she'd figure it out soon. Nice way of keeping it anonymous though. Looks like I'm going to have to play pretend for a little bit longer now. I couldn't think of what would happen if I did tell him I wasn't Beatrix, and I didn't want to find out. Just then the tardy bell rang.

Shit.

I made my way towards first and when I arrived all eyes were on me. It's like I had I had a sign that said "Kick me!" on my forehead. Then I looked on the board. There were all sorts of pictures of what looked like me and Logan... KISSING!

"What. The. f**k!" I yelled.

I looked over at Aphrodite and she was smiling evilly.

"IT WAS YOU! WHY THE HELL DID YOU DO THIS?"

"Well,Beatrix, I thought you wouldn't be ashamed." She smirked.

Everyone looked confused.

"Oh you guys didn't know? She's not Silvia. Apparently she's Beatrix now. Stupid s**t huh?"

Everyone still looked confused. Just then Logan walked in.

"What the hell is this? Who did this!" he demanded.

Everyone pointed at Aphrodite. He then looked seriously mad.

"Aphrodite I'd like to see you after class. Nice photoshopping skills, but there's still some room for improvement. Better luck next time." He said.

Her face grew extremely red. Everyone suddenly laughed at her and I couldn't help but laugh along too.

I turned toward her and said "I thought you said I had to keep this up? What the hell is that matter with you!"

She looked confused. "What are you talking about? I never said that!"

"Uh, yes you did! The letter? Remember?" I showed her the signature.

"b***h, please, I never wrote this. What are you smoking?" She said, trying to sound serious.

"Don't joke around. Who wrote this?" I demanded.

"How am I supposed to know?" She was now annoyed.

"Okay, okay, sheesh, I just wanted to know. Sorry."

"Whatever."

I couldn't help but think of who could have written the letter. If it wasn't Aphrodite, then who could have written it, and why would they use Aphrodite's name? This was getting way out of hand! I don't know how much longer I could keep this up. Oh how I wished I never even pretended to be Beatrix.

The bell rang for the period to end. Logan then asked me to stay after instead of Aphrodite.

"So, what have you decided? Yes, or no?" He asked me, obviously about being together again.

"Uhh, One date. Then I will decide." I told him.

"You little tease. Fine. Friday night?"

"Sure." I said.

"See you then!" he said.

I left as quickly as possible. Hopefully I would get more information from this date. It probably would not feel like a date. I bet he wouldn't even do anything psycho if I say no for no further continuation of this relationship. At least I hope not.
