Thanks to everyone who reviewed the first chapter. No, it will not all be in Summer's POV. Right now i'm just building the plot so later on the chapters will be longer. Please keep reviewing!
Turn the Tables
For a week or so, Summer watched this girl, Rory, and gathered information about her through the gossip mill. Through these activities, she concluded that Rory was Tristan's proverbial unicorn. The one that got awayâ€or would get away unless a miracle happened. Summer planned to be that miracle except if everything went well, the fairy tale would have a little plot twist. The unicorn would come tamely at first then rear and stab Tristan with her horn. She did a little dance in her head as she thought of a broken-hearted Tristan.
By Monday, Summer felt she knew enough to begin the plan. She waited for Rory at the Chilton bus stop, which she knew would take Rory to her quaint little home in some hick-ville town. She spotted her prey, which walked to a bench and immediately pulled out a thick book to read. Summer paused for a few minutes, fine tuning her speech, before heading over the stand next to Rory's bench. She cleared her throat to make her presence known and began talking.
"Hello, I'm Summer." Rory looked up, surprise in her eyes, and murmured a greeting before returning to her novel. Ok, so she doesn't know how to treat Chilton royalty or make proper conversation. Just be direct.
"I believe we can help each other." Now that she had her reluctant companion's attention, she launched into her offer. "Recently, I've become aware of the fact that a certain student has been bullying you. This same person has gotten on my bad side as well. If you will help me, I believe we can make both our problems go away."
Bewildered, the girl finally spoke up, "Who?"
"Tristan Dugrey."
"I'm sorry but I can't help you. Tristan and I have just made a deal to be friends and I'm willing to give him a second chance."
Summer inwardly scowled but then she realized that Tristan, being Tristan, would probably screw up at some point. And then Rory would be all more willing to help her get revenge. She smiled indifferently and said, "Alright, but if you change your mind, I'm around."
As she finished speaking, the bus pulled up and Rory looked at her, nodded goodbye and got on. As Summer watched the vehicle move away, she grinned maliciously. It's only a matter of time before he screws up. I can wait.
