The Beginning to an end

Chapter Twenty Two:

Kelsey POV

This sucks. This morning has been nothing but a pain in the ass. First my parents yell at me because they got a call from Mr. Lockwood yesterday for the fight that happened with that b***h Rose and then they yell at me for going overboard when going shopping. Just when I thought the day couldn’t get any worse, Rose walks into school with two of the hottest guys I’ve ever seen besides my Drake of course. The only way she would be able to be near them is if she’s screwing them because there is no way that they would hang out with a loser like her for any other reason. Well whatever; no one can resist me so I’m going to enjoy taking them from her.

I walked up to them and blocked their way as I smiled at the guys. I looked at Rose in time to see her roll her eyes and tried to walk past me. I stuck my hand out and blocked her way, moving to look at her.

“What’s wrong Rose? Why are you running away and ignoring me? That’s no way to treat a friend, is it?”

“Considering how much you hate me and I you, we aren’t friends. Never have been and most likely never going to be.” she pushed my arm out of the way and started walking away with the hot hunks following her. I caught up with them and wrapped my arm around the older looking one’s arm; holy s**t he’s super buff; score!

“What’s your name handsome?” he didn’t answer me so I asked the younger looking one but he ignored me too. I tried asking them again but the older one pulled his arm away and kept walking. I stood there stunned before they stopped and moved so the loser could walk through and stood on either side of her looking bored.

“Look Kelsey, I’m having a good morning so far and I don’t want to have to deal with you messing it up with you being your annoying, clingy and attention seeking self. So leave them and everyone else alone and go do something productive; like studying! I’m sure your grades suck so why don’t you go work on them or something? I really don’t want a replay of yesterday’s events and what became of it.” I stared at her she smiled and walked away with the guys not even sparing me a glance. What the… What the hell!? I huffed, turned around and went to look for Trista while I thought of a way to make Rose pay for how she treated me just now and for what she said to me. How dare she speak to me like that! She’s been pissing me off more and more every since she started sticking up for everyone and fighting me.

I turned the corner to see Trista up against the lockers making out with one of the football players. I walked up to them and crossed my arms as I cleared my throat. They broke apart and stared at me before the footballer leaned down and whispered something into her ear, giggling and nodding as he left.

“Hey Kels. What’s up? Why are you over here? You usually hang out around Drake’s locker and wait for him to get here.”

“Yeah well I was going to do that until I saw Rose the loser walk into the building with two of the hottest guys I’ve ever seen.”

“Wait… are they hotter than Drake?” I shook my head and leaned against the lockers next to her.

“Not even but close. Anyway, how do you feel about helping me make her regret how she acted like she’s better than me not even five minutes ago? Oh and of course steal those two hunks of men from her.”

“Hell yeah. Let’s do it! Wait.. what do you mean by she acted like she’s better? What did she do?” I told her about what happened when she walked in and how I tried to get the hotties attention but failed. I told her what Rose said to me and how she just walked away like it was nothing. By the end of it, Trista and I were beyond ready to teach her an even bigger and better lesson than what we have in the past.

The halls were starting to fill up with students as we went to search for Rose so I could show Trista just hot these guys really are since she doesn’t believe me. We walked down the hall that Rose disappeared around when I left and stopped short when I saw what was happening in front of me. There was Drake in front of his locker with his friends, Phoebe wanna-be and the hunks. But what surprised me the most was that he had his arms wrapped around Rose’s waist and was smiling as she was leaning back against him.

“Since when are they together?” my head snapped towards Trista as I looked her as she had a shocked and somewhat pissed off look on her face, scowling at Rose. I looked back at them in time to see Drake pull Rose closer and put his chin on her shoulder as everyone around them and us were whispering back and forth. Just watching them like this pissed me off. I clenched my hands into fists as I made my way over with Trista trying to catch up and stop me. I stopped in front of them and crossed my arms over my chest as I glared at Rose who rolled her eyes at me.

“So you’re cheating on me now? With this…. Thing!?”

“Cheating means that we would have to be dating and since you and I aren’t; I’m not cheating on you. So go away please.” everyone started talking like I’m currently not standing in front of them. I’ve had enough I thought to myself as I stepped forward and ripped Rose away from Drake, pushing her up against the lockers. “Kelsey! What the hell!?” I blocked his way as Rose lifted a hand and shook her head at him with a bored look on her face.

“What now Kelsey? You want to fight again? If you do, I’m fine with it.”

“I’ll win if we do. I would crush you in no time.”

“Really? Because if I remember correctly, I won yesterday not you. I remember I was giving you pointers on how to fight better but got tired of your slow ass to do anything so I knocked you out with one punch.”

“Lucky shot” I spat back as I got in her face. I tried to intimidate her but all I got was her smiling at me. I took a step back as she took one forward until I was the one with my back against the lockers.

“I’m pretty sure I told you that I was having a good day and I didn’t want you to ruin it. And yet here you are, ruining it. I’m guessing that you have a reason for it so,” she stopped in front of me and crossed her arms against her chest “do you want to talk about it? I’m a really good listener.” is she for real right now? I stared at her before I busted out laughing. Everyone was looking at me like I’m crazy except for Rose who just shrugged her shoulders. “Fine. Can’t say I didn’t try.” she walked away and grabbed a drink that one of the hotties held out to her. “Come on. I want to get my errands over and done with so I can be back here in time for lunch.” with that she and everyone walked off as I stared at them before trying to catch up with them. I stopped when I saw she was hugging Mr. Lockwood.

“Anytime, my beautiful niece. I’ll always be here for you.” oh shit.. She’s Mr. Lockwood's niece?! Damn… I’m dead for sure. I glared at her while her back was turned away from me. I couldn’t help but smirk when she said that she wasn’t going to be attending school until next week but it dropped when she said she got her own apartment. How the hell does she have her own apartment when she’s not even eighteen yet? Did she run away from home or something and get one so she wouldn’t have to go back? Did she get one just for the hell of it? I’m curious to know the reason for her getting an apartment. The bell rang and Mr. Lockwood told everyone to get to class and not to risk of being late. Drake, the twins, the hotties and that loser Phoebe walked over to Rose and Mr. Lockwood and I noticed they all had drinks from Dutch Bros. What the frick? They went to Dutch Bros together? When did they all get so close? They’ve only known each other for a day? I walked up to Rose with my group following closely behind and tapped Rose on the shoulder.

“What do you want now, barbie squad?” what did she just call us?

“We are not the barbie squad!” god, could scream any louder in my ear, Trista? It pissed me off hearing her call us that but it pissed me off more when she went into detail about why she thought we were barbies.

God, her thinking that she’s better and knows more than anyone is making me want to hit her again. After she said what she wanted to say, she turned around and walked out the door with my Drake and everyone else following her. Why are they so hooked on her!? What the hell does she have that I don’t?! She’s nowhere near as hot as I am, I bet her grades are worse than mine and yet she has the hottest guys in our school and two more from who knows where following her like some lost puppies! What is going on!?

“Kelsey?”

“What?”

“What are we going to do about Rose?”

“Don’t worry. I’ll think of something that will get rid of her and then I will have my Drake and those hotties all to myself?”

“You aren’t going to share? How mean.” I rolled my eyes and walked off towards my locker to grab my stuff for classes. Hmm let’s see… What would be a sure fire way to get rid of Rose for good? I can’t make up something to get her expelled since her uncle is the principle. Same with framing her for stealing or something. This is going to be hard..

Walking to my first class as the bell rang, I sat down in my seat and leaned my head on my hand as I stared out the window. The bell rang; the students rushing to their classes; the teachers wanting to be anywhere but here; and all I’m doing is staring out the window counting down the minutes until the day ends. As the room started filling up with students, I saw Drake and the twins walk in and waved.

“Drake!” they looked at me before walking to the opposite side of the classroom. Since Rose came into the picture, they won’t even hang out with me anymore. Just the thought of me getting replaced by her pisses me off more.

I zoned out throughout the morning classes, my body going on auto pilot with walking from class to class. During change over, Phoebe and I walked by each other each time; her laughing with Alex and me glaring at them as everyone parted to make way for them and I. Why is everyone treating her like she’s special just because people saw her and Rose hanging out with the guys? When lunch came around, Rose and those two hunks came to spend lunch with Phoebe and the boys. Seeing them all together, happy and laughing, was… weird. What can I do to make them not want to hang out with each other anymore? I have to think of something… and quick.
