Chapter 11; Shock
"I couldn't BELIEVE it! Sora's back!" Madison, one of Di's followers exclaimed to a surprised clique.
Di rolled her eyes at her. "Oh my gosh, you're STILL talking about her? It won't last two days I can assure you."
"What won't Di?" Spencer asked.
"Her being back..." she lied. "Her father IS busy, I'll bet it's just a visit..."
"Di, I wouldn't be so sure..." Tai trailed, watching Jennie and Sora walking towards them.
"Hey Jenn." Matt greeted.
She smiled, and gave him a hug, then moved over to Tai.
"I need to talk to you." she whispered.
He smiled and put his arm around her. "Sure babe, what about?"
She pushed his arm off of her. "Let's get one thing straight before we go, Don't call me 'Babe'. I have a boyfriend. "
He nodded and followed her to behind the gym.
"What an act Jenn, that was great!" he exclaimed. "Now what did you want to talk about?"
She rolled her eyes. "Tai, I want to ask you a question. What do you see in me?"
"Jenn, are you serious? What kind of a question is that?" he asked.
"A good one. Now answer it." she replied.
"Well," he began. "You're hot, you look good in a bikini, you're rich and you're good in bed...did I miss anything?"
"You missed alot." she answered coldly. "What about who I am? What about my personality?"
"Does that matter?" he asked nonchalantly, then lied. "I'm not looking for anything like that in a girl. I want fun, just like you."
After all, he couldn't let her know that he was head over heels for her. Love wasn't an option for a guy in a clique. He instantly knew that he made a mistake though when he saw the look on Jennie's face.
"Tai, I'm not looking for fun anymore. I want someone who loves me for who I am, not what I do and especially not what I look like." she replied and walked away.
"As long as you're Jennifer Brianna Reid, nothing is gonna change! That's a promise!" he yelled after her. Wishing with all his heart that he hadn't and could tell her the truth.
She came back to the clique, tears in her eyes.
"What's wrong with YOU?" Di asked.
Jennie wiped away a tear. "Nothing." she said softly.
"Ohhh, I think I know what's wrong...." Di replied snottily.
"Dianna, NOTHING is wrong..." Jennie answered.
"Come on, you're my best friend. I know something's up, so let's talk about it." Di turned to the clique and ordered. "All of you leave, this is between me and Jennie."
They nodded and left, leaving Di and Jennie alone.
"What happened?" Di asked.
"Tai.." Jennie trailed. "He told me that I'm never gonna be loved for anything other than my looks."
"So?" Di replied. "that's the foundation of what we are Jenn, you know that."
"I know, but it kinda bothered me and I don't know why." Jennie replied.
"But you need to get along with him Jenn. He's the one you need to start thinking about as your next boyfriend." Di urged.
"Why?" Jennie asked.
"Because I've just come up with a new rule. There is a 7 month limit on relationships, end of story. And I didn't want you or Mimi having any say in that one, because you have a boyfriend and Mimi is looking for a long term relationship, so I put it in the book without either of you...I want you and Matt broken up by the end of the school year, and that's final." Di explained.
"Whatever Di..." Jennie scoffed.
"Good, glad to hear you agree." Di replied with a smile.
They walked back towards the clique. Everyone was swarmed around Sora asking her all kinds of questions. She of course lied about how great "america" was and how good she was doing. Tai, Mimi and Matt looked at eachother, wondering why Sora wasn't telling them about what really happened.
"That's it..." Jennie thought, "I have to get this over with."
She grabbed Tai, Mimi, Sora and Matt and dragged them out of the cliques hearing range.
"You guys, in case you haven't figured it out yet, I'm the one who brought Sora back. We're planning a revolt against Di ans you all know why. It's something I need 100% cooperation in, so please don't back out..." she began. "If any of you do or go behind my back, I'm finished, literally. You know how Di is when people go against her...half of them don't live to see the outcome..."
"Jenn, we're behind you, okay?" Matt told her.
"Yeah, we'll fix everything, you'll see." Mimi chimed in.
Jennie smiled. "Thank you."
Tai smiled and said. "Count me in, k?"
Sora nodded, "Me too."
"Okay, so let's tell them what we planned last night Sora." Jennie explained.
They went into details. They would tell Bailey, the girl with the biggest mouth in the school exactly what Di did to Sora and the girls that she didn't kill. Bailey would tell everyone from the other cliques in the school and then it would be all over school. Since Jennie and Mimi were second in command, they would hold an impeachment ceremony and Di would be out. She didn't know how to survive outside a clique, so she'd probably switch schools. Then Jennie could tell the police about the murders....But that was only if Di didn't stay at the school.
"I couldn't BELIEVE it! Sora's back!" Madison, one of Di's followers exclaimed to a surprised clique.
