As the final bell rang everyone started heading for the exit and ignoring the homework instructions miss Dunlop was giving.

I stayed back and listened to every word that came out of her mouth.

When she was finally done I grabbed my things and headed for the door.

"Miss Thomson. You seem to be the only serious student I have in my class. I'm sure it'll reflect on your grades". She said

"I only stayed back because passing this class is going to help me prove a point". I said coldly. "And one more thing. Try finishing up on time most people have places to be".

I went straight to my locker to dump some books and pick up the ones I needed.

After doing all that I went out to the parking lot. Ashley and the girls were already waiting by my car and Brooke's which were next to each other. I also saw a nervous looking Victoria who was staring at the ground while the other girls chatted away.

I walked over to my car and unlocked it. Everyone knew where to sit and which car to get in. Everyone except Victoria.

"Get in the back". I said and she hurriedly got in the backseat of my car.

"What took you so long?" Ashley asked as I started the engine.

"Miss Dunlop doesn't understand the concept of time". I responded.

"I heard she tried to sleep with principal saltzman last year".

"Oh my God. That's disgusting. Isn't he married?". I asked.

"Married with three kids. And they're all in college".

"Well from the looks of it they just might be getting a new mummy".

We both laughed.

"Its just a rumour". Victoria whispered from the backseat.

"So little vicky knows how to talk how cute". Ashley said to her. I just laughed it off and went back to talking with Ashley.

We talked about random rumours we've heard and Victoria didnt utter a single word.

We got to my house and headed right in. As usual I met Rosa in the kitchen.

"Rosa bring some snacks up to my room". I said .

"Yes miss Seylah". She nodded. "And miss Seylah your dad asked me to tell you and miss Aviva that he wont be home for a couple of days".

I honestly wasnt surprised. Its nothing new.

At least he remembered to inform me this time. Most of the time he just disappears then I find out from Aviva or Rosa that he had work out of town.

I gave Rosa I nod then headed to my room with Ashley Brooke Candice behind me.

Oh and icky vicky.

Getting to my room we kicked off our shoes and went straight to my mirror. We checked ourselves out and went to sit.

There was a small set up by my window where I would sit and watch people go about their day. I went over there and sat. While Ashley and the girls sat on my bed. Victoria for some reason sat on the floor.

"Ever take off those glasses vicky?" I asked her.

"Not really. I'm as blind as a mole without them". She said.

"Why dont you use contact lenses instead?" Ashley asked.

She didnt answer and just stared at the floor.

"Whatever". Ashley said as she rolled her eyes.

"I wonder what's taking Rosa so long. Let me go check". I winked at Candice indicating it was time to begin with our plan.

You didnt think I just invited her over for nothing.

I walked out of the room and went over to my dad's study. Then Candice called me on facetime.

I answered the call and I could see that the phone was placed perfectly so that I could see Victoria's face.

"Okay now that Seylah's gone". Ashley began. "We gotta ask. What the hell is going on between you and satan?".

"What!?" Victoria said with utter shock.

"We're friends now and friends dont lie or keep secrets. You can tell us". Candice said.

"You cant just say nothing's going on Damien took you to a party after he fought with Seylah something has to be up". Brooke added.

"Well". Victoria said with hesitation. "We met like two week ago. And we've been talking at least I think we're talking". Her voice went lower at the last part.

"Oh no". Candice let out. "I cant believe satan could do this".

"What did you expect?. He's satan afterall". Brooke responded.

"I dont understand ". Victoria said

"Well..". Ashley started. "You're being used. Damien only took you to that party to make Seylah jealous".

"They had this huge fight in the cafeteria last week"

"Wow". Victoria replied.

"Dont be sad vicky". Brooke began "I think it's great you found out before it was too late".

"And before Seylah found out". Ashley added.

"I think I should apologise. Seylah would understand right?". Victoria asked

"Go ahead and tell her. You might as well dig your grave while you're at it". Candice said with her voice laced with sarcasm.

"You really think she'll be mad?"

"Just answer this. When was the last time you heard about Britney?". Ashley asked.

Victoria remained silent.

"That's my point. Seylah literally exiled her from the social ladder just because she thought she could have Damien".

"And honestly she went easy on her. Seylah knows exactly how to hit someone where it hurts".

"She's not one to show pity. The best thing you could do for yourself is stay on her good side". Candice said.

"And besides think about it. What's more important, having the arrogant wannabe bad boy use you to get on his girlfriend's nerves or staying on the good side of someone who will protect you as long as you stay loyal". Brooke added.

"The choice is yours little vee. Choose wisely ". Ashley said then I disconnected the call.

Honestly these girls need an award.

I told them to make her scared but she was trembling.

I went back to my room with some snacks in hand and Rosa was behind with the drinks.

We all went back to talking about random stuff but Victoria couldn't utter a word. She didn't even touch the snacks I gave her.

I think my plan worked too Well.
