The phone rang a second time. It was for Anna and as soon as she hung up she ran out. I wondered what it could be. About an hour later, Anna showed up with this huge grin on her face.
"What?" I asked her impatiently.
"Lisa, oh my gosh, Lisa's mom and step-dad are divorcing. It gets better, her mom was cheating on him and now she's pregnant. I told Lisa I wasn't her friend anymore after finding this out though." My mouth opened. I could totally humiliate Lisa from now until she dies. I let out a laugh, this was too great.
I walked into work, not sure if I was going to use the information now. I wouldn't, I didn't want to risk getting fired at work. I didn't need a public place anymore, now that Lisa didn't have a step-father with the fuzz.
"Hey Lease," I called grinning. I could still annoy her. She ignored me and rolled her eyes. After work, it wasn't so bad, I went home.
"Are ya gonna beat up Lisa?"
"Yeah, don't come and don't tell anybody," I said with dead seriousness in my voice. Michelle nodded and went to her bed. She pulled up the mattress and grabbed something from underneath it. She threw it at me and I looked at it. It was familiar, it was Steve's switchblade?
"How'd you get this?"
"Steve gave it to me," she said. I nodded. He'd give his girlfriend of about three days his switchblade, but not even his sister? Oh well, I guess that's how things go.
I got up and left after a series of 'good lucks'. I walked around hoping to find Lisa. I did and I didn't even care that I found her right in front of the DX.
"Hey Lease, wanna settle this? Just you and me, right now." I had the switchblade in my pocket. I wasn't going to pull it until the end. I don't remember the rest, but soon she was on the ground, stomach first. I was sitting on my knees on her back. I had the switchblade out now.
"I could kill you right now," I told her. She tensed up. I scratched up her face, just to scare her. I put the tip of the blade near her throat.
"JESSICA, WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING?" I heard somebody yell. The switchblade was yanked out of my hand and I was pulled off of Lisa. I was staring at Steve. He held my arms tightly or I would've run.
"It's none of you god damn business."
"It is, when it's my switchblade." I kicked Steve's shin and walked to the house. Michelle was on the phone.
"How'd it go?" Anna asked me.
"I would've killed her, but your fucking boyfriend got in the way," I said looking at Michelle. Michelle hung up the phone.
"Maybe you shouldn't have tried to kill her." I got all my stuff and walked out of the house. I passed Sara on the stairs. She looked at me but I pretended like I didn't notice her. I walked to Soda's house and threw the stuff on the couch, nobody was home. I walked to the park and sat on the swing. It finally hit me. I could've killed her. The thing is, would I have killed her?
