Plans`

Tina’s POV

                While I was waiting for my girls, I was thinking about people’s questions about why I am the way I am. They’ve asked me Why am I so cruel? So b*tchy? But I ask that myself too, I don’t have any answers for them. I am just me, I follow my desires and wants. Since I can remember, my parents gave me everything, ‘till I went to fourth grade. That’s when my parents started arguing and had another kid, my baby brother Tom. He’s not a bad kid just that he came to be the center of attraction at home. I took care of him when he was a baby and when he started to walk. Once he went to school I no longer was needed from him nor my parents. Since then I did whatever for someone’s attention and affection.

 I felt unloved and unwanted. When Sam, my cousin, presented me to her boyfriend Joe I saw how he treated her. He was a very good guy and overflowed Sam with love and attention I felt that he was perfect for me. So I elaborated schemes after schemes to separate them and snatch him for me, but to no avail. Since then I have acted mean and bossy, more like a dictator. But I am sure is if I don’t have Joe no one else will have him either. Remembering the feelings of wanting someone for me, a song came to me and made me sad because of the meaning it has, the title is “I Need you Now” by Alias (song from the ’90s). I had to shake my head very drastically to dispel the sad feelings and stop thinking about other songs or I would be in sorrow and won’t be able to be the sadist girl that people think I am.

So, after regaining my thoughts, I saw that fat b*tch pass by. I followed her, and find myself looking at her to see how ugly she would have been after her fall last week. But I did not see anything on her face. “Did she act out her fall out and injuries?”, I asked furiously.  By then I was huffing and puffing thinking what I should to her for my revenge. Without realizing that the girls were close, I glared at the girls when they asked me what I was doing getting all flustered by myself. But yet again I regained composure and told them what I saw.

Then, they told me that they would try and find out what was her deal. So, we headed to our classroom, even though I don’t care about them. If I could not come to school I would, but yet again I would get bored doing nothing.

For the next few days nothing big happens, I just wanted to wait for the info on her, so I just opted to watch her at lunch and after school.

After exactly five days Bria and Gia gathered some information about that fat b*tch.  And during lunch, they told me that her injuries were light and that she was absent due to her mother’s idea. And they wanted to tell me something else about her, and for that, I had to listen because a good one, so I did. They said that she was a loner back in junior high and she even was the center of bullying, because of that she had to be at a loony bin for a bit. I open my eyes in wonder and anticipation of the many possibilities I had for my plans and so I  started thinking about my next move. At the end of the day, I knew how to fix her, I knew what to do.

I decided to watch her carefully, what routes she takes, what times people were around her, and if she had more friends than those two, no, four.  I took pleasure in these tasks and entertain myself for a bit. If I don’t have what I want nobody else will, she won’t have my Joe that’s for sure!

My first step is to follow her after school for the next ‘till her home, then look around the neighborhood and what type of schedule people have. I don’t want onlookers too close and wait for her to drop her awareness. I know she has been evading me all this time, but at times I’ve seen her glance towards Joe’s group. For that now it’s too late, I will show her place.  

A month has passed and the time has come. Everything is ready for my lesson. I am waiting for school to end and for her to walk back home. I am not alone so I know things will be OK.
