up off the sink and wiped the side of her face with her hands. Then held her face making her stare directly into her eyes.

“Cassie, look at me. We are your best friends and we’ll help you through this but Steve is never going to appreciate you. He is never going to love you the way you love him. You’re so pretty and wonderful. Just think, once you get to college guys will be lining up to date you for miles and miles.” Tiffany explained.

Brittany walked over and held Cassandra going in for a group hug. “Yeah. And stop crying over him. He’s not worth a single tear. You’re way too amazing to be crying over some man. And besides your Cassandra FREAKING Cavera.”

Cassandra started to chuckle. “Thanks guys, your right Steve was always a loser. He doesn’t deserve me. I make his life, he doesn’t make mine.”

Wow I can’t believe this. Cassandra Cavera actually has a heart. I’ve never seen her in such a weakened state. I always thought of her as this cold hearted girl who only likes popularity and didn’t care about anyone’s feeling except her own. And her friends, their completely different from what I expected, they don’t seem to be as brainless as I thought. They seem like……like……like real people. I feel such like a jerk now. Oh no! I’ve got to stop the plan!

A few more moments went by and the three of them were fixing Cassie’s makeup before she went back out there to do her speech.

Cassandra is now putting her lipstick on. “And you know what; I think I might also want to squash the beef between us and them. (Them? Who is she talking about? Is she talking about Reenee and I ) We’re graduating now and it’s kind of silly to still be beefing with them over all this little kid stuff. I think I’m going to bring them on stage and apologize and offer my full friendship. (WHAT! Is she serious?) Because when it comes down to it I truly don’t hate those two. But I have to admit we did have some wild times trying to one up each other.”

“Uh huh remember the school talent show?” Brittany reminisced.

“Yeah, right. We all almost got expelled for sabotaging each other’s auditions” Tiffany said.

“I know, and even though for the past four years all we’ve done is try to embarrass each other, I can honestly say that I consider us to be very close……….friends.”

No way! now I really feel like a jerk.

“Me too!” Tiffany agreed.

“Same.” Brittany concured.

They finally left the bathroom and headed out in preparation for Cassie’s last speech. I came out the stall puzzled, guilty, jerkish, expressing every other saddened conscious feeling in the book.

A girl walked in.

“Hey you should hurry Amethyst. Cassandra’s about to do her thank you speech.”

“Yeah thanks.” I said.

I rushed out the bathroom pulling out my phone about to text Reenee to call off the plan because I just can’t bring myself to go through with it anymore. Actually when I think about it too, I truly don’t hate Cassandra either. I mean she bugged me all the time but it was never not pure hate. My text was sent automatically to drafts because I just received an incoming text from Reenee.

Am I don’t want to do this anymore Cassandra’s mean but this is just cruel And Summer won’t call it off, something’s wrong, CALL ME!

I’m dialing Reenee as I see Summer to the side of the stage signaling her friends to begin the plan. Oh no!

“Amethyst!” Reenee answered.

“Reenee I see Summer but she’s already given the signal, you stop her friends, I’ll handle her.” I said.

“Okay!”

We hung up. I quickly speed walked over to Summer, passing through the huge crowd. I finally get to her but Cassandra’s already started her speech.

“Summer you have to call this off. This is just too mean.”

“Heh mean? You were all in for this a few moments ago. Now you want to chicken out.”

“No I’m not chickening out. I just don’t think Cassandra deserves to be embarrassed this much. I don’t want to hurt her. At least not like this.”

She chuckled miraculously. “You really think this is about you. This has nothing to do with you.”

“What?” I’m so confused right now.

She sneered out another menacing chuckle. “Don’t you get it. I was just using you. I needed someone who knew Cassandra from the inside to give us the access we needed to complete our plan.”

“So you already planned this even before you overhead me and friends talking.”

“Hey aren’t you a smart cookie.”

She turned around to signal her friends again with a laser light but I grabbed it from her before she did.

“What are you doing? Give that back! You stupid stupid girl. THAT BITCH WILL PAY FOR WHAT SHE DID TO ME. SHE RUINED MY LIFE!” She screamed.

I stared, shocked at how violent her voice was. Summer started tearing up. Her face was red with furry and had the most ferocious expression. Her hands were clenched tightly shut. She had her teeth clenched and lips vaguely opened. Her hair became wild and untamed. This girl looked absolutely nuts. That’s when it hit me. The bad feelings that I’ve been getting since the moment we met were suddenly clear. She was…. this girl…..she’s -

“Your Siarra Conally.”

“Took ya long enough.” She said with the most villainess smirk on her face.

“You’re the girl who got expelled in the beginning of freshman year for locking Cassandra in the girls locker room attempting to set it on fire.”

Her cruel smirk turn into the biggest and most disturbing smile I have ever seen, not even in a horror movie.

“Your insane!” I protest.

She positioned herself in a solid stance. “Insane no……. cruel maybe…… vengeful….. hell freaking yeah.”

“So I guess the rumors were true. You are a psychotic schizophrenic.”

She laughed hysterically at my words. “It’s too late! The deed is already done.”

I looked down and saw her texting. I ran towards her to stop her.

“No your not!”

We started fighting over the phone but struggling because we both were evenly matched. We ended up on the floor.The phone fell out of her and slid onto the stage. I started crawling as fast as I could to get it but she kept pulling me back as I did her. At this point Cassandra stopped speaking to turn around because she heard a lot of background noise. We crashed through the curtain still fighting like two monkeys trying to share one banana because neither of us are letting up.

I grabbed the phone. “Yes!”

“Do it now guys?” She shouted.

“What’s going on here?” A confused Cassandra asked.

Things were looking our way. I saw Reenee and Melinda standing over Siarra’s defeated friends. I smiled victoriously. “Awesome!”

“NOOOOOO!” Siarra turned to me with a look that could kill. “You ruined everything! You…..you…..ahhhhh…….I could kill you.” She screamed at the top of her lungs.

I’m still knelt down on the ground observing Siarra’s face. Her expression is terrifying. She really looked unbalanced; her eyes are telling me that she wanted to put a dagger through my heart…….literally!

“Ahh get your bloody hands off of me!” Reenee shouted.

I looked up and Siarra’s friends’ and they had Reenee and Melinda trapped in their arms.

“No, Reenee! Melinda!” I shouted.

“Amethyst what are you doing? Do you want me to throw you out?” Cassandra threaten me still not sure what’s actually happening right now.

Siarra cried out another villainess laugh. “I’ll get all of you. I’ll get all of you.” Siarra screamed threatening me again.

She came right at me, charging with full speed and precision. It took me about a second to notice that she had a knife.

“I’ll get you. I’ll get both of you.” She threatened again.

“Siarra stop! What are you doing?” Her friend shouted.

“Yeah, were just supposed to pull a prank!” Another shrieked.

No! Amethyst run. Get up. Get up and run. Do it! Do it now! I’m scared. So why can’t I run. Why can’t I get up? Why won’t my body move?

My eyes widened with fear thinking this can’t seriously be happening right now. There’s no way.

Everything has slowed down. I can almost see her charging towards me in slow motion still rendering me unable to run. It’s almost as if I’m frozen with fear like a deer in headlights. Everyone at this point, is looking, observing and waiting for the unthinkable to occur. The crowd is in a shocked hypnotic dazed with ignorant disbelief.

You know now people say just before you die your life flashes before your eyes; and then you come to a revelation about whether you lived your life to the fullest up until the moment you die. Well, that’s not what happen to me. All I could envision is my lifeless body on the cold ground drenched in my own blood. I couldn’t help but think how did a silly little prank turn into such a horrible fate?

Everything started to speed up again; my heart is accelerated faster than it ever has in my entire life. I began to tear up thinking this is it, my life is over and I’ve never got the chance to do so many things and confess so many feelings. This is all my fault. I did it to myself. I closed my eyes blinding myself in tears.

“Amethyst run. Get out of the way. Move damn it.” Reenee shouted breaking free from her holder.

Just as Siarra is about to stab me with her knife she falls over to my left. I looked up relieved and confused. Why has she suddenly fallen? Then I look over on the stage floor and see a microphone lying next to her. That’s when I realize she’s been hit. But that would mean –

“You are NOT going to hurt my friend you crazy ass psychotic BITCH!”

That was Cassandra. She just saved my life. And she called me her friend to boot. She walked over to me knelt down and stared directly into my eyes.

“Are you ok?”

I stared at her shocked but internally grateful and begin crying outrageously, falling into her arms.

She helds me tightly comforting me explaining that everything’s okay. Then police sirens suddenly were going wild. We found out later that a neighbor called the cops because of all the commotion.

“Cassandra watch out!” I’m shouted pushing her out of the way. I saw Siarra get up and about to attack Cassandra. I tried to stand up in an attempt to stop the blade even though I’m defenseless. I held out my hand hoping to catch the knife without it tearing right through my palm.

“Ahhh look out!” A voice shouted.

Just then another rush of good luck struck. Siarra got bashed in the head by a rock. She fell to the ground so quickly I thought she was dead. I saw a little boy run across the stage wet and in teared up clothes. The boy is running like he is scared. But of what and who is he running from.

Suddenly a whole barrage of rocks, tree branches, a fence and a whole mess of other odd things were being chucked at everyone at the
