They Call Me Karma

Chapter Seventeen

Aria's Point Of View

The girl watched me weirdly as she scanned the objects.

48 cartons of eggs.5 boxes of pink paint10 clear rapping foil30 mouse traps

"Thank you for, uh... shopping at Walmart. That would be 510.5 $." The cashier says in a monotone, never removing her eyes from mine.

Luckily, I put on brown contacts and a black wig, so she can't recognize me.

I hand her 6, 100 dollar bills and get the change back.

"Thank you." I say in a higher pitch voice. I take the trolley and roll it to my car. It wasn't actually my car. I just rented one, so the cashier doesn't remember the look of it. I drove to Eric's house. Knowing that he was at school and his parents at the gang house.

Let me explain my plan. Eric played with eggs and I'm going to play with eggs.

The difference is he's level is Beginner. My level is- I don't even have a level. I'm so above the boarder that Eric can't even see me.

Soon enough, I reached his house and parked behind it. I went to a window and found it locked.

No need to fear!

I got my file, the tool, and started cutting the metal that connected the window with the wall. Soon, the window opened and I hopped in.

I take five egg cartons and start my plan. I go into the living room, place the cartons down on the table.

I put on Ocean Drive, by Duke Dumont. I listened to the music as I throw the eggs around the house.

This is difference #2: Eric threw the eggs outside the house. I throw them inside the house.

Once the song was finished, I was done egging the living room and kitchen. As my playlist continues, I almost finished the house. Just Eric's room left.

I enter his room. I gasp and eyes widen. "Why the f**k are you here?!" I snap at him.

"So you're the amazing K? Hah, and I thought you were innocent." He says.

"That wasn't what I asked." I tell him.

"I wanted answers." He replies.

"Just shut up and leave." I tell him annoyed.

"Luke." He says.

"What?" I ask confused.

"My name is Luke. So stop calling me Brother, Aria." Like says.

"Yeah, okay just leave." I say.

"What happened to mom and dad?" He asks.

"Unless you want to end up where they are, I suggest you leave." I snap at him.

"You killed them!" He yells.

"Shh! Lower your voice!" I whisper-yell.

"Did you kill mom and dad?" He asks.

"No. I didn't." I say.

"Then where are they?" He asks.

"Prison." I answer, "Now leave." I say.

"How did they get into prison?" He asks.

"I got them in." I say calmly.

"Why the f**k would you get your own parents in jail!" I didn't stop him, and all he did was continue, "Did you change so much, do the point that you became a coldhearted person. I even heard you ran away from mom and dad. Why?! Because of the gang?! Are you actually serious?! You've became such a b***h!" He yells.

"Okay. Leave." I say.

"No!" He snaps.

"Leave." I say calmly.

"You've turned into a monster you know that! Turning into a criminal! A f*****g wanted criminal!" He yells.

"Okay, leave." I say.

"Why?" He asks.

"What?" I ask confused.

"Why do you get them into jail?" He asks.

"If I tell you, will you leave?" I ask.

"Yes." He says.

I take a deep breath and say, "Child abuse."

Silence.

Luke looked confused, but his expression changed to guilty.

"Aria I-" he started by I cut him off.

"You promised to leave. So leave." I say in a monotone.

"Aria ju-"

"Leave!" I snap. He seems shocked, but eventually leaves.

This made me angrier. And I went crazy. Every inch of Eric's room was covered in eggs.

Satisfied, I walked back to my car and got the 5 cans of permanent pink paint. I open the first can and throw it on the roof. The second landed inside the first floor. The third landed in a balcony. The fourth on the sitting area outside and the last was all around the back yard.

Lucky none of it showed on the front of the house, just everywhere else.

In big bold letters I wrote, "Going after innocent girls now Eric? K won't stop. She never will"

I take the foil and rap all the windows, bed the doors. Blocking all the exits and entrances.

Tad dah! My masterpiece is complete!

I keep the cans, cartons and empty foil pieces around the house and et in my car. I drove out like nothing happened.

When I reach the house, it was clean. Thank you people of the cleaning company!

I cleaned the car and drove it back to the rental place.

"Hello." I say in a country accent.

"Hey there Skyler." The man there says. As far as he knows, my name is Skyler.

"Thanks for letting me rent the car." I say as I hand him the keys.

"Was she good?" He asks.

"Sure thing." I say. "So we agreed on 20 an hour. So here's 100."

"That's right. See you later, Sky." He says.

"Bye bye." I say and leave the building.

I started walking home, taking my time and relaxing.

Eric's Point Of View

It was lunch time. Finally!

I reach our table and started chatting with Alex.

The teen chattering was loud, It got annoying at some point. But suddenly, it went silent as the door to the cafeteria opened and in came Stephanie.

Instantly, she came to my side and hugged me. "Eric. You're the best boyfriend in the world!" She yells joyfully.

"Your amazing in everything!" She adds

"I can't wait till prom!" She squeals. The problem is, prom is 4 months away. And, oh, we broke up!

Stephanie hugged me tighter and went to kiss me, but I pushed her away. "Stop living in denial." I groan.

"What?" She asks confused and tries to hug me again. Key word: tries.

"Stephanie, we're over. We have been for a week now. So stop f*****g touching me!" I groan and push her away. I stormed out of he cafeteria and out of the school in general.

Stephanie has been sending me texts all week and completely denying our break up. I was done.

I got my phone out and started looking through my contacts.

My finger hovered over Khloe's contact. I sighed and touched her name.

"Hello?" Her voice appears.

"Hey Khloe, what're you up too?" I ask.

"Not much, just sitting at home. You?" She replies.

"Just got out of school." I answer,

"It's like 11 in the morning. How are you out of school?" She asks.

"I ditched. So I'm going to the beach, want to join me?" I ask.

"Yeah, sure. I'll be there in 15." She replies.

"Okay, bye." I say.

"Bye." She say and hangs up.

Getting into my car, I drove to the beach. In 20 minutes, I reach my destination and find Khloe sitting on the beach.

It was still a bit cold, not sunny what-so-ever. But it was still beautiful.

"Hey." I say as I sit on the sand next to her.

"Hi." She replies.

"How are you?" I ask.

"Good. You?" She asks.

"Terrible. Stephanie's being a bitch." I explain.

"Then break up with her." She says.

"I did. But she's denying it." I reply.

"Just say it in front of the whole school, If she doesn't get the hint then all the school will." She suggests.

"I did that, and left school after." I answer.

"That's good."

We sit in a comfortable silence for awhile. Watching the waves of the water crash against each otherWhen I shift a bit, my hand brushes across hers, and I take the risk and hold it.

She doesn't pull away, thank god.

"Want to play would you rather?" I ask.

"Sure." She says as she puts her head on my shoulder.

"Okay, would you rather date Joe or Alex?" I ask.

"Joe. Alex is just so... plain, and boring." She answers making me laugh lightly.

"Would you rather f**k every girl in your school or f**k Alex?" She asks.

"All the girls at school. Alex is just so... plain and boring." I mock her.

"Ha-ha your hilarious." She says with a smile.

"How about we play truth or dare." I ask.

"I'll start. Truth or dare?" She asks. As she said that it started raining slightly.

"Dare." I answer.

"Okay... I dare you to go into the shop and ask for some butter because you can't get your thing off." She says and bursts into laughter at the end.

"Ugh! I hate you." I say dramatically.

"Stop lying to yourself. You know you love me." She says through laughing. "Grow a pair of balls and do the dare."

"Fine. Fine." I say and get up. She follows behind me as we walk into the small café.

We stand in line for a minute before the man behind the counter says, "Hello. Can I take your order?"

"Hi. Do you have any butter? I can't get my thing off." I say and but my hand in my pants.

"Ew! Get out!" The man yells.

"Woah, he just asked for butter calm down." Khloe says.

"Yeah. It's a free country!" I add slamming my hand on the counter.

"Yes! Long live America!" Khloe yells.

"I'm going to have to ask you both to leave!" The man snaps.

"Fine. But I will be adding a complain on f*******:!" Khloe yells as we leave the café laughing our asses off. It was raining harder and we soon became soaking wet but we didn't seem to care.

We reached the shore, still laughing. "Hey Khloe. Truth or dare?" I say in between laughing.

"Truth." She answers smiling.

"If I kiss you right now, would you pull away?" I ask smiling.

"What?" Khloe asks confused. My hand goes behind her neck and push as closer as our lips connect.

She doesn't pull away and instead deepens the kiss. I smile and lick her bottom lip, asking for entrance. She opens her mouth slightly as I move my younger inside her mouth.

We continue exploring each other's mouths, until Khloe pulls away with a smile. We rest our foreheads against each other. "You do know how cliche this is, right? Kissing in the rain."

We were indeed losing in the rain.

"Well maybe I'm just another cliche guy." I say.

"And maybe cliche isn't in my vocabulary." She says and kisses me again.

Arias Point Of View...

"And maybe cliche isn't in my vocabulary." I say and kiss Eric again.

He gladly kisses me back.

Oh Eric. Haven't you ever heard of the expression Keep your friends close and your enemies closer?
