A step descending the staircase; Mr Wintler had the table set for breakfast.
caught sight of his daughter and stood froze.
"who are you?" he asked a rhetorical question.
"do i look so awful?" Taylor trapped in her shyness.
"No, honey you do not, I had to ask is this a change?"
"maybe." unsure of her thoughts of transformation.
Taylor had worn a long fitting long jean pant with a cropped top revealing her novel, she had beautiful dangling earrings on advertising her good looks.
she wore a colourful pair of slippers.
fitting jean pant showcasing her curvaceous body.
"Now all you need is some confidence." Mr Wintler advised pulling the dinner chair for her to seat.
Taylor walk pass the streets; she stole attention from strangers with a simple clothe and a bright smile.
She felt the passing breeze and smelt the fresh morning saint.
The change was pleasing to her.
Taylor matched into the school compound, she graciously walked pass the students sighted by Zoey and rest of the meanies.
An evil laughter roaring as she walked in the classroom.
"you look stupid!" Carol complimented.
"who ever advised you to do this has totally lost it." Melisa advised.
"A lost screw!" Zoey completed.
Taylor looked heartbroken for a moment then spoke out loudly "y'all uncool!" the meanies laughter turned strict; the girls stood up at once to attack the standing Taylor whom for once in her entire life she challenged her bullies with words.
Melissa stroke her hard on her cheek; Taylor's cheek turn red and again defenseless.
short heightened pushed her to tgw wall, the whole class silent.
Other students could only watch as their mates bullied each other, Tomi walks in and the meanies got distracted, began making lousy comments and mocking him.
Taylor arrived home, the smile had escaped her face.
Taylor receives a call from Cassandra.
"hwy, baby girl how was school today?"
Taylor tried controlling her tears; tries stabilizing her voice but sadness caught up to her.
"it..it..was..go..great." she sobbed, she stutters.
"No it wasn't " Cassandra heard the c***k in her voice, she added "I'm outside and I need ya to open the damn door!" Cassandra commanded.
Taylor got down and welcomed her in, they sat on the couch while Taylor spoke of her day.
"she was so aggressive and spiteful, they hate me so much; and I don't even know why." Taylor pained by the Meanie's action.
"because them bad, you have got to be bad yourself!" Cassandra concludes.
"you have to loosen up and adapt to the society of bullies; you've got to be mean, bad and bold; you've got to be a survival Taylor." Cassandra feeling bad for Taylor.
"you have to grow up, that's all I can say, I have been suspended for a week there isn't much I can do to help out."
"you want to meet my mom?"
"what for?"
"if she could bring me up to be this, she could help you out." stroking Taylor's hair.
"No, it's fine, I'll try again tomorrow."
"you know you could always speak to me."
"thanks, a lot Cassy."
"Mmm Cassy?"
"you don't like it?"
"Tayl!"
Taylor mood lightened.
ANOTHER MORNING.
Taylor sat at the cafeteria having some fruits; her nails polished, the meanies, Carol and Zoey sat with her lunch.
Wearing an evil grin, Carol dipped her her hand into Taylor's tray to pick a fruit; Taylor didn't react, another bite on her apple as she watched Carol peel and gulped down a bite of the banana.
Taylor stood leaving the tray of fruits, she walked off a distance and a smile appeared on her face.
Soon after Carol began to scream for help, she had an upset stomach and began to vomit on the table.
Zoey attended to her while some students began a video of Carol, others stood and wouldn't go any closer.
Nobody to help Zoey dialing an emergency number, attention of the school body was drawn to the scene of Carol unconscious state.
"The reactions were as a result of food poisoning, she's stable, she needs to rest and would be discharged soon." a man with glasses and laboratory coat spoke politely.
The man walks away after informing an elderly woman whom stood with the help of a walk stick, her teary eyes spoke of fear.
A female teacher places a arm around her shoulders in consolation.
Taylor sat at the first roll in the classroom feeling bad for Carol, her heartbeat father than normal.
Zoey crying her eyes out thinking worst of the situation.
Taylor began a breathing exercise to regulate her heartbeat and the tension she felt from within affected her outlook.
waiting patiently for classes to be dismissed.
Zoey was escorted out of the classroom due to her controllable tears down to the counsellor's office.
Zoey was destroyed.
Taylor uses the doorbell, Cassandra opens the door and found terribly nervous Taylor.
"I'm totally freaking out!" Taylor confesses.
"why the hell are you feeling guilty, she didn't die!" Cassandra says, relaxed on the couch.
"I intention made......."
"shh, you did nothing, she couldn't keep her hands to herself, she chewed your banana!"
"I know she likes banana!"
"don't be stupid they've done worse things to ya, you need water to calm your nerves?"
"yes that would be nice."
Cassandra rose to her fwwr heading to the kitchen to get water, Taylor sits still, imaging the worse Carol could be going through.
she comes in the room with a glass of water and handed it to Taylor whom had a sip of it.
"I'll get going now, I need to shower real bad!"
"you looking gorgeous by the way."
"thanks, I really needed that."
Cassandra walks Taylor out through the door.
Cassandra locks the door and her gaze met that of her mother's "what you do Cassandra?" Alison asks, angered and suspicious of the deeds Cassandra had plotted.
"I didn't do nothing." Cassandra snaps sharply, returning to the couch, Alison held her by the arm.
"you begin talking." Alison orders.
"an accident happened at school as you have heard as you were eavesdropping on my conversation, Taylor feels guilty about the whole thing and needed someone to speak to, that's all." Cassandra says partially confident with a folded arm.
"I'm no kid!" Alison says ascending the stairs.
EARLIER...
Mr Wintler attends to the door "Cassandra what brings you here this early?" creating a passing space for Cassandra to walk in.
Cassandra presents a basket of fruits, "so sorry for the disturb Mr Wintler, i need to give this to Taylor. "
"I really need to see Taylor." she says with a smile.
"A basket of fruits!, such a friend you are." he commends.
"yeah, Taylor loves fruits."
"Taylor still in her room but she'll be out anytime soon, would you love to have breakfast?"
"yes, I do! but first delivery!" she excuses herself in a haste to Taylor's room.
Mr Wintler dashed into the kitchen...
Cassandra barged into Taylor's room unexpectedly giving Taylor a fright; Taylor jumps on her feet "hey!" happy to see Cassandra.
"what's that for?" she asks pointing to the basket of fruits held by Cassandra.
"it's for you!" smiling brightly.
Taylor surprised "are you sure?"
"yeah, I has a lot of thoughts in my head yesterday, I learnt that Carol likes banana..."
"how do you know that?" curious Taylor.
"I've seen her eating 'an couple of times, so I has to get fruits (inhales) you eat only the apples, alright?"
"there are so much fruits in that basket."
"yeah they are poisoned but just the apples, it's a good diet."
Taylor had a dropped jaw "Cassandra!" Cassandra walks closer to her "look it's just a little way of punishing the girls."
"I can't do that!" Taylor protested.
"it's either you for bad or you stay home." Cassandra tells; "and if they had the chance they'll shot you to your death." Cassandra pisses by Taylor's disagreement.
"for once in your life, Taylor!" Cassandra drops the basket of fruits on Taylor's bed and walks out the door the door in anger.
descending the stairs "Cassandra the table is set, you could join us for breakfast."
"so sorry, Mr Wintler, I changed my mind."
"ooh."
Cassandra uses the exit, Mr Wintler walks up the stairs going to check his daughter whom had packed some fruits in her bag pack.
He opens the door and Taylor began panting,
"you okay?"
"yes I am."
"Cassandra just left, she didn't seem too happy." trying to read Taylor's expression.
"yeah, mommy issues." she lied trying to keep a straight face without raising any suspicion.
"breakfast is ready!" Mr Wintler joyfully announces.
he looks at the basket of fruits on the bed "could you finish that?"
"No, hell no...I could share with..."
He picks a fruit and takes a bite of it, Taylor in an suspencial States and suddenly realises and shouts "No!"
"What is it? don't you wanna share with me?" her brain slowly processes the fact the apples weren't poisoned.
she looked teased; she looks at him not knowing what to expect as a reaction from the bite of an apple.
Mr Wintler notices her strange behavior, slowly makes his way to the door "The apple is so good!"
Taylor exhales "what a relief." she murmurs to herself.
Taylor had worn a short fitting skirt; at the cafeteria she placed the fruits on a tray, she swallows a spit, picking an apple expectantly waiting for the Meanie's approach.
