Sweet Revenge

Sophie POV

When Manny and I were at the mall we had a great time. All of the rumors about her were totally not true, of course. We had been hanging out everyday after school, shopping. We were in a shoe store when we spotted Ashley and Paige a couple rows down.

"Manny! It's them!' I whispered.

We both ducked down and hid from them as they came up to where we were standing.

"Ash, this is going to be the biggest night of your life! You totally need heels.' Paige said.

"Paige, Craig isn't into that cliched sex stuff. I'll just dress like I normally do." Ashley replied.

"Ashley, Craig may be a musical prodigy or whatever, but he's still a guy. I mean, his first was with Manny, and this is your first time. You have to top the school slut." Paige said.

"Wow. I guess you're right. But I don't know about Manny being the school slut. Sophie's getting close." Ashley said.

Paige giggled.

"They're tied." She said.

They both laughed and went off in search of more shoes. I looked at Manny, who looked hurt.

"Ashley's having sex with Craig tomorrow?" she asked.

I nodded, but then stopped as I got a good idea.

"Let's make it the most nerve wracking experience of Ashley's life." I said, and Manny grinned.

Emma POV

I had taken extra care with my looks tonight. I had blown out my hair so it was straight and shining, and I used all of my best make-up. The only problem was my clothes. I wanted to wear something that would show off my features, but not tell Jay that I was ready for something that I didn't want to do. I finally decided on a white mini skirt with a black long sleeved shirt when the doorbell rang. I opened the door and got a huge surprise. Jay had smoothed his hair down and was wearing a shirt that actually fit. He looked cute.

"Hi." I said.

"Hey. Ready to go?" he asked.

I nodded and we got into his car. He was taking me to a party, and I was excited. It had been a long time since I was excited about something. As we pulled up, I realized it was one of those thug's parties. I sighed. I knew it was too good to be true. We went inside. The music was too loud, and kids were throwing up everywhere. As I was walking to the back of the house I saw why. There was a huge keg of beer. Jay hung out with me at first, then went over to talk to some other friends. I waited around for twenty minutes, then I decided it was time to go home. I walked up to Jay, only to find out that he was completely hammered, and mumbling.

"Jay! What are you doing? Is this your definition of being good? I'm leaving." I shouted.

I ran all the way home. I couldn't believe my stupidity. How could I have given Jay a chance? He was such a jerk. All guys were. I hated Jay, and I would never forget my humiliation tonight.

Sophie POV

The next day, Manny and I had our plan all worked out. We positioned ourselves right across from her locker. Ashley came by, and ignored us, and we ignored her.

"So, Craig was your first, right?" I asked loudly.

'Yeah, he was great. But you know he's very specific about what he wants. He can get really rough, too." Manny said.

I looked over and saw that Ashley had frozen in her position.

"But he told me I was the best. We were truly in love. It's too bad it didn't work out." Manny said.

"Yeah. It's too bad." I said.

Ashley turned around and I got a glimpse of her scared face as she ran away.

"Wow. We totally got her back." Manny said proudly.

"Yeah. Manny, maybe this wasn't such a good idea. We really freaked her out." I said.

"We did. Should we talk to her?" she asked.

"I don't know." I said.

I looked desperately at Manny. I went in the way Ashley fled to, and realized she went into the bathroom. I followed her in, and saw her hyperventilating in a stall.

"Ashley?" I asked.

"Go away!' she yelled.

"Ashley, just listen. Manny and I planned for you to hear all of those things. We wanted to get back at you for all of the lies you spread about us. But we realized that it was cruel for us to make you believe things that weren't true about sex." I said.

"How could you?" she said.

She started to run away, but I stopped her.

"Ashley, aren't you at least grateful that I said something?" I asked.

"You have no idea the pressure I'm under, okay? I have to go." She said.

"Ashley, I'm sorry." I called after her.

Ashley ignored me and ran away.

Jimmy POV

After our first kiss on his porch, I knew Craig had a thing for Sophie. I mean, she was great, so who wouldn't? But I had to make sure Sophie was mine. We had kissed at school, and had been on a bunch of dates, but nothing was final yet. I had to change that. We were eating lunch when I decided to talk to her about our relationship.

"So, um, are we together?" I asked bluntly.

"Do you want us to be?" she asked.

"Yeah, I do." I said.

Sophie smiled at me.

"I do too." She said.

I brushed my hand across her face and kissed her. And we kissed, and kissed and kissed. Until Manny came and interrupted.

"Sophie, you will not believe what happened." She said

Sophie broke away and tried to fix her lip gloss.

"What?" Sophie asked.

"Ashley has totally cracked. I heard her talking to Hazel about buying thongs for tonight." Manny said.

Sophie put her hand on her forehead.

"Oh god." She said.

I looked at them, confused.

"What?" I asked.

"In a moment of complete stupidity, we scared Ashley about having sex with Craig. We just got tired of being harassed. We cracked." Sophie said.

"Wow." I said.

"This has gone on long enough. I have to talk to Craig." Sophie said, and she ran away.
