I'm back home now and I couldn't be happier about that. I hope everyone that celebrates Thanksgiving had a good one. This chapter may seem a little harsh, but things will soon change. I hope you guys will continue to like what I have in store. I really wanna make this story a longer one, but I'm dealing with writer's block at the moment. If I can't think of anything else to do, I may just end it at around 18 chapters. I'm hoping for more ideas to come to me, I just really don't wanna end it yet. I'm open to any suggestions at this point. I hope you guys like this chapter!
Chapter 11
Harmony walked out of class the next day, with her friends behind her. "The teachers seriously need to learn about fashion at this school. How does she expect anyone to pay attention to her in that outfit?" Her two friends, Megan and Natalie nodded in agreement. They always agreed with everything Harmony said. She stopped suddenly when she noticed a commotion in the distance. She just had to check it out, being the nosy person that she was. She found some people at their lockers and they seemed to be reading something. Harmony was curious and walked over to Cordelia when she saw the brunette at her locker also. It had to be something good if Cordy was so engrossed in it. "Hey, Cor? What's so interesting?" Cordelia then looked at Harmony, with a glare and the blonde didn't know what could have caused it.
"You slept with Angel?" Harmony gulped when her friend said that. Angel was Cordelia's boyfriend of two years and it happened a few months ago. She never thought the brunette would find out.
"How...How did you know that?" Harmony stuttered out and Cordelia threw the paper that she was reading in Harmony's face. Harmony was confused as she looked at the paper and then gasped when she saw what was on it. It was an exact copy of what she wrote in her diary about the time that she was with Angel. She looked back up at Cordelia's face to see that the other girl really wasn't happy.
"You must think I'm pretty stupid, Harm. It actually explains a lot now that I think about it. You have been acting weird around me and Angel has been distant lately. What, you couldn't handle the fact that I had a boyfriend and you didn't?" Harmony shook her head as she thought about what to say.
"No, I never meant for it to happen. It was a mistake, we both know that. We had too much to drink. We decided not to tell you because we didn't wanna hurt you." She explained and Cordelia grabbed the paper out of Harmony's hands and ripped it in half, throwing the pieces to the floor.
"Save it, Harmony. We're done here." She spat as she walked away and Harmony couldn't believe that just happened. She turned to Megan and Natalie to see that they were just as surprised. They had no idea that Harmony could do that to one of her friends. They walked away from her and headed to their own lockers, only to find a similar piece of paper there also. Megan grabbed it and her eyes grew big when she read what was on it. She turned back to Harmony and held the paper up for her to see.
"So, you think I'm a flake? You're really one to talk." She said as she threw the paper to the floor and walked away. Harmony picked it up and noticed that it was another page from her diary. What the hell was going on?
"I am not a crybaby!" Natalie yelled to Harmony once she read the paper that she found on her locker. She then ran away, with tears falling down her face. Harmony didn't understand what was happening, but she was determined to find out.
"Everyone is talking about Harmony and not in a good way." Willow said to Buffy in the cafeteria later that day. "Your sister is a genius, Buffy. I can't believe she pulled that off." Buffy sighed as she looked at her friend.
"Yeah, Dawn's a genius alright. I know I should be happy that Harmony is finally getting what she deserves, but I can't help feeling bad about it. This would make me just as bad as her." Buffy stated and Willow shook her head.
"You could never be like Harmony. Besides, you really didn't do anything." Willow explained and Buffy let out a sigh.
"I know, but I still knew about it." Willow didn't know what else to say, when an excited brunette came over to them and sat down.
"This is the best day ever. No one is talking to Harmony; everyone in school practically hates her now. Job well done, if I do say so myself." Dawn told them and Buffy had to smile a little at her sister, even though she wasn't really feeling it.
"Should we feel happy about this? I mean, she is our sister. As much as I hate to admit that." Buffy said and Dawn rolled her eyes.
"Hell yeah, we should feel happy about it. You know she had this coming, Buffy. She has been making our lives miserable, maybe things will finally be better now." Buffy thought about what Dawn said and then nodded.
"I guess you're right." Dawn gave her sister a smile.
"I'm always right." They noticed Harmony sitting at a table by herself and Dawn looked back at Buffy. "I should feel bad that she's all alone right now, but all I feel is giddy." Dawn said as she then got up and headed out of the cafeteria to meet up with Connor. Buffy sighed again as her eyes moved back to Harmony. She really hoped that things would get better.
Buffy walked into her house after school and headed to her room, but she didn't get very far. She was pushed into a wall and she turned to see the angry face of Harmony. "What the hell did you do that for?" Buffy wondered as she rubbed her arm.
"You did that to me! You stole my diary and posted every bad thing I wrote around school! They all hate me now because of you!" Harmony yelled and Buffy decided that it would be best if she took the blame. She wouldn't want to get Dawn into trouble.
"I only did it to get back at you for trying to take Spike from me. We're still together, Harmony. I know everything you told me was a lie. I wanted you to realize how it feels to have everything you love taken away from you. It doesn't feel good, does it?" Harmony then slapped Buffy across the face and she was shocked as she touched her stinging cheek.
"I wish you weren't my sister!" Harmony spat as she ran into her room and slammed the door behind her. Buffy was still touching her cheek as she looked to where Harmony was once standing.
"Yeah, the feeling's mutual." She said to herself as she went to her room and closed the door.
