STEPH APPROACH AGAIN??
765 Words
She had expected to hear from Tyler, after the previous incidence, he'd called her severally. She wasn't ready to face him yesterday, but maybe she was now. She wanted to hear what he has to say, she wanted to hear his apology. But he hadn't asked to see her, hell, he walked right past her without a word. Evelyn was thrown off balance, was he upset with her or something? she doubted it, he had no reason to be. She knew Tyler was prideful but not enough to man up for the misunderstanding. Perhaps it was her foolishly thinking she mattered to him.
" You're back here. "
Sarah heard Stephanie beckon at her as she edged in front of the locker wiping her face with a towel.
Sarah thought ignoring her was the best option, she didn't want any confrontation with Stephanie.
" Why did you come back huh? " Stephanie stood in front of her.
Sarah ignored now backing her as she placed her towel back into her locker.
Stephanie chucked, " I'm talking to you. "
Sarah came to realize that she couldn't ignore her anymore, " What do you want Stephanie? "
" Isn't it obvious? I want you out of here. "
" Why? " Sarah was honestly curious to know.
" Why? I don't like you. "
" Why? " Sarah maintained a firm voice.
" Because you don't belong here. "
" Why? " Sarah scoffed, part of her was interested in finding out while the other just wanted to piss off Stephanie and it was working.
" Because you took something that belongs to me! " Stephanie abruptly.
" You mean the job? " Sarah was playing dumb.
" Yes. " Stephanie's eyes were full of rage.
" Tell me what you know about Leah, and I'll consider leaving this place... it is what you want right? " Sarah figured it was worth the shot.
Sarah saw the bewildered look that surfaced on Stephanie's face, the way her lip pouted as if searching for what to say. She was staggering backward as she played her brief relapse with a brush on her hair.
" Leah? why would I know anything about her? "
" I don't know, do you? "
Stephanie shook her head in shock, " Is that why you're here? to find out what happened to her? do you think one of us did it? " Stephanie laughed hysterically.
At that point, Sarah felt let down, and she retreated to walk out of the room.
" Don't stick your nose where it doesn't belong Sarah. "
" She was my friend, I don't care who I offend, I'll find out what happened to her. "
" Hmm... " Stephanie dramatically walked over to Sarah, she stopped extremely close to her, gazing ruthlessly into her eyes, " You got slapped across the face, what's gonna happen next? "
" I heard you hated Leah, did you kill her Stephanie? " Sarah knew it wasn't Stephanie, but she now enjoyed making her sweat.
" You're crazy. " Stephanie's voice was shaky now.
" No, I'm not, listen to me. " Sarah placed her hands on her chin, " You got so fed up with Leah you decided that the only way to get what you want is to fight for it, to seize it. And you did, you probably got someone else to do the dirty work for you, no need to ask how. " Sarah smiled gesturing at her lower region.
Stephanie didn't know how long she can pretend to keep it together, " How dare you? "
" Now you got Leah out of the way and just when it seemed like you were getting what you wanted, I came in the way. So I'm thinking... what are you going to do now? "
" What are you talking about_
" Are you going to kill me too? how are you gonna do it? "
" Why you little... " Stephanie jerked, pushing Sarah further into the room as she cascaded on the locker. Stephanie attempted to rush in for further display but Xavier was quick to pull her away.
In his ploy to protect Sarah, his phone fell over to where Sarah was, she picked it up, and the first message she saw stood out to her. Xavier was replying to an " I love you so much, come to my house after work today, " text from an Olivia with a heart. Her first instance was to smile, she thought nothing of it.
