Beth POV
I walked down the hallway from the school. I turned to the right and walked towards Willa's locker. I stopped once there. I tapped Willa on the shoulder and she turned around. She rolled her eyes at me and shook her head as if she was saying what. I handed her a paper. It was easy really. Its just a paper that says that each week of school she will give me 25 dollars for the next four weeks to pay back the hundred.
"What's this?" She asked me.
"Thats the schedule. Starting next wednesday for the next four weeks you will give me twenty five dollars to pay me back the hundred that I used on the cabby to take your stalker body home," I said. She looked around her and then at me.
"I don't own you anything," She stated and I raised an eyebrow.
"Actually you do," I said putting my left hand next to the locker so she doesn't leave.
"No, I don't," She stated angril. "now get out of my way before I make you."
"We can do this three ways," I said. She looked at me with a glare and in my mind I backed down, but I stayed calm and wouldn't let her see that she scares the living shit out of me. Mainly because in a fight I'd probably die. "One, you can just pay me back, Two I can tell the magazines that I was being charitable and giving the Cab driver money to take you and your two friends home which just makes me look good, or thirdly, lastly, and the one I think neither of us wants. My mom can call your parents and tell them all about your after school feild trip stalking my sister and I following us home."
"You don't even have proof," She stated.
"Actually the doorman told my mom what he saw and," I said leaning into her to whisper, "We have video footage of you." I stepped back, "My mom asked security to check and well they spotted us all."
"How am i supposed to get the money?" She asked.
"We both know your parents give you at least forty dollars a week. We can do twenty five a week for four weeks or twenty dollars a week for five, I'll even be generous and give you a third option, ten dollars a week for ten weeks," I said and she looked at me.
"Ten for ten. You better not say a word," she seethed.
"You know you can even have those followers of yours pitch in," I said.
"Whatever," She said and closed her locker door.
"oh and Willa," I said, she looked at me. "Leave me and Logan alone or the whole school finds out about this."
"Like they care," she said.
"They will when they ask why a taxi cab drive home for you would cost a hundred dollars," I said and she looked at me. "Leave us alone."
I walked away and released a breathe I didn't know I was holding. Is this what it feels like to have the upper hand, because I kind of like it, being in control. No bullying, no getting pushed into lockers, I can get used to this...Except for the fact that its not right even if it gives you a sense of security or safety. I do like the feeling though. I turned to the right and walked to the back of the school were the large patio is. I sat down at the table Logan and Kamryn were at.
"So how'd it go?" Kamryn asked.
"She didn't beat me up," I said, "She went with ten for ten, ten dollars a week for ten weeks."
"Wow," Logan stated. "And she didn't push you or anything?"
"No, I told her we got her on camera and that I know where she is, and that I may tell the whole school about it if she didn't pay me," I said.
"Beth!" they both yelled.
"You blackmailed her,"Logan stated shocked.
"I don't like the word blackmailed...more like persuaded her," I said with a small smile, "Oh come on, if I don't get her to pay me back mom calls her parents and then Willa will kill us, lock us in a closet here, hit us with a baseball bat, or jump us on our way home."
"I think you're being overdramatic," Kamryn said.
"Logan," I looked at Logan and she sighed.
"Fine, Ten weeks till when is that?"Logan asked an she said hi to Sasha who sat down. I looked at her and smiled.
"You've been MIA for a long time," I said and she smiled.
"How was vancouver?" Kamryn asked.
"Boring," she said and I laughed, "Seriously, just because my dad had to go work there for three and half months doesn't mean I want to be there. I had nothing to do this summer. My mom wouldn't let me go exploring, I was alone and didn't have any friends. I mean my parents said it would be fun. I spent the entire summer waiting for the fun part to kick in and it never did. And then I had to go to school over there for three weeks. It was horrible," Sasha said.
"Well we're happy your back home in New York were you belong," Logan said. Sasha opened her Vitamin water.
"Thank the lord," she said and then took a sip. "So I hear theres drama between the Drogin twins and Willa?"
"We're not twins," Logan and I said at once.
"Could have fooled me," Sasha said. She and Kamryn smirked.
"Willa, Georgia and Sierra followed Logan and Beth home after the first day of school," Kamryn said with a smile.
"What," Sasha stated and looked at us with a smile.
"Gets even better," Logan said, "Beth paid for there can ride home."
"Seriously," Sasha was laughing a bit know, "Oh god, this is, this is just too good. I mean how low can they get."
"Very low," I said.
"Oh Willa Michelson...She's paying you back right?" Sasha asked.
"Yes, She is ten dollars every week for the next ten weeks," I said. Sasha high fived me.
We then saw Nate and Darren. We got in line and bought lunch than ate. We talked about Willa and her friends. We asked Sasha questions about what she did do in Vancouver while she was know sight seeing, museums, or going to the beach. She did do all of those things, but her summer was fairly boring. She asked about Logan's birthday party and mine since she left the week before Logan's and all. We told her about them and then how my biologicals showed up to mine. Sasha said she would have loved to be there. I told her about how Quinn asked me to "cut the attitude a bit". Sasha laughed and so did I. I mean everyone knows that Quinn gets under my skin. Apparently everyone but her.
When the bell rang for class to resume we went our separate ways. I didn't pay much attention, but its not like I had too. In art class I sat next to logan again as always. The teacher Ms. Papas (real last name is Papasauvas) looked at Logan and I a few times as we both worked on our paper mache projects. I was making two horses. Its actually really hard, but we can take them home and work on them there so I do. Logan is making a paper mache caterpillar and butterfly. Hers actually looks the actually bugs she's making.
"Good Progress girls," Ms. Papas said to both me and Logan.
"Thanks," I said and she nodded. She looked at both of my horses.
"how'd you get the legs," she asked.
"I used bendy straws," I said and she nodded. She then left and walked around.
"I bet your mom's helping you," I heard Willa spit out to me. I turned around and looked at her. " "She is," I said, "she bought the bendy straws and the other supplies needed," I said and she glared at me.
I turned back around and continued working on my horses. Five minutes before class we all put our things away and washed our hands. I waited at the table with Logan for the bell to ring. When it finally did ring we walked to our lockers. I grabbed the things I'd need for the weekend. I closed the locker and turned around. As I did I was pushed hard. I hit my head on the little air vent of my locker and Logan gasped in shock. I looked up and saw Georgia and Sierra walking away laughing. I sighed and rubbed my head.
"Are you okay?" Logan asked as she closed her locker.
"Yeah, I'm fine," I said. I closed my eyes and sighed before opening them again. Just when I thought we'd be okay Willa's followers take over the bullying. Just great. Logan and I walked out of the school and to our bus.
