Courtney's P.O.V

Sadie came in tears streaming down her face and her eyeliner smudged. Lindsey and I smiled supportively,while Dakota ran out after Katie. I would've felt sorry for Katie,but this was all part of the plan. Sadie came up to us and told us about the argument and how Katie trash-talked about us.

"Well don't worry Sadie,"Heather said in a sweet voice,"You're still our friend."

"Really?"Sadie looked into all of our eyes,like a lost puppy.

"Really,"We all nod. After that ordeal was over my phone rang. It was my accomplice. I'd put his ringtone to my Mother's so that Heather wouldn't be suspicious.

"I've gotta take this call,"I say answering it and leaving the restaurant,"I'll catch up with you guys later."

"Ok,just remember to turn up tonight for the slumber party,"Heather winked at me.

"Bye Courtlyn!"Lindsey waved bye. I just face palmed. Sadie was still recovering and Heather was supportively patting her back. I walk out of the store and answer the call.

"Hello?"His voice answered.

"So,did you find anything?"I say annoyed,I wasn't in the mood for games.

"I have. Heather's younger cousin,Brianna, has got a tape you might wanna see,"He answered.

"Perfect. Where does she live?"I ask ready to give Heather her just desserts.

"A block away from your house. 228 Cherry Lane,"He answered again.

"Ok thanks,"I hang up and head to my car. The whole way there I thought over why I was doing this to Gwen and Heather and then I remember.

*6 years ago*

"So are we still cool for tonight?"Gwen asked me unsure.

"Yeah,"I reply,"Make sure you bring your favourite film."

"I will,"She replies. Then the bus stops,"See ya Court."She gets off the bus and goes home.

"Bye Gwen,"I breathe onto the glass.

At 5 pm Gwen came over with her favourite film The Purge. We pillow fought,watched films and gossiped for a while. The night went well,we fell asleep at around 12 am and woke up for school the next day. Gwen went off with her friends and I joined Heather. The day went well until the end.

We'd just finished school,and I was staying behind to help the teachers for extra credit. I was out in the field behind the school,to clear out the weeds for Mr Betts the caretaker,when I spotted a familiar brown haired head-Gwen. She was out there with Duncan,my crush. They were just mucking about.

Now,I know what you're thinking,she kissed him and you're still holding a grudge! Nothing happened between them. It wasn't that,it was the way they looked at each other. They loved each other and didn't even know it. I felt a twinge of jealousy as I backed away. That's what made me hate Gwen,that she'd always be better for Duncan than me.

I came back from the field and ran into Heather.

"I know you're secrete,"She whispered her voice filled with venom,"You have a crush on Duncan and you're so controlling that you're jealous of Gothie there."

"What!"I yell infuriated,"How dare you say that!"

"I don't need your confession,"Heather said pulling out my diary,"I've got this." She smiled cruelly.

The next day she read my diary out to the class,savouring the parts where I'd written about gossip or snippets of this and that. I sat through the whole thing my head held high. She wasn't going to drag me down. After she finished,I decided that she was gonna pay. In the worst way possible.

*Present Day*

I knocked on the deep red door of 228 Cherry Lane and a girl who was around twelve opened it. She had raven hair,like Heather but had hazel eyes.

"Are you Brittany?"I ask looking at her.

"Are you Court?"The girl eyed me suspiciously.

"Yeah,"I reply.

"Cool. I got the tape ready,unless you want to view it. Justin told me you'd be over,"Brittany began,"So yeah are you gonna watch it now or later?"

"I think now would be best,"I reply in my most polite form.

"Sure,"She lets me in and leads me to the living room,"I'll just play it." The screen flickered to life and as I watched it all of my revenge plans were in that tape. Wait until I ruin her and then play this. She'll be so low on the social pyramid,she won't be on it!

"Thanks Brittany,"I say grabbing the tape,"But tell me why'd you do this?"

"Cause Heather's a bitch,"She answered plainly. Wow! Even her own family despised her,I almost feel bad. Whatever,I leave Brittany's house and phone Justin.

"Well done,"I tell him,"You actually did your job."

"Anything to get Heather back for exposing me and for your affection,"Justin replied.

"Hey! Don't push it!"I snap over the phone,"I'm just in a good mood. Now the easy bit is done,the hard part is keeping it secrete until we need it."

"Don't worry Court,"Justin reassured me,"Everyone at school thinks I'm a self-absorbed egotist and you're a preppy control freak."

"Great,"I sigh,"We just need to make them think those lies are reality." I hang up after saying bye. How to keep this secrete?

Anne Maria's P.O.V

I've got everything sorted out: My folks are out for the weekend,the food and drinks are bought and everyone is invited-except from the Populars and the big-mouths. At around 5 pm I change into my outfit,an off the shoulder halter with really short booty shorts and heels. What! You gotta put the show on display at a party,especially one with alcohol.

I go downstairs in my new outfit and check everything was in order: Punch-check,snacks-check and most importantly alcohol-check. Just as I finish checking my first guests arrive: Geoff and his friends and Dakota with Katie,who looked like she needed to be cheered up. Well,that's what the party's for fun and enjoyment.

A/N: Justin's helping Court? Makes sense. Anne-Maria's planning more than just fun at her party,Katie needs some comfort and Court has a serious crush on Duncan. Till next time,
