When Rose Petals Fall

Chapter 2

Elena took a deep breath as she stared at the outside of the school. She wasn't sure what all happened the night of that party, but she knew that at her high school no matter what she did she was in for a good bullying session by one of the school's top bitches. But she was ready for it. She wasn't going to let anyone bring her down after one of the worst nights of her life and if she saw him tonight there would be no way she would be silent. She wasn't going to be a victim in this. She refused to give him the satisfaction of knowing that this was tearing her apart from the inside out.

Looking around to make sure that the cost was clear, Elena walked up the steps to the school and was immediately hit with the fallout. Whispers followed her as she tried to make it to her first class, but her attempts were flawed when someone shoved her into a locker.

"Hello, fresh meat, what were you doing sleeping around with my boyfriend?"

Elena resisted the urge to roll her eyes. Of course Rebekah would think that after how wasted she was last night.

"Aren't you going to say anything?" She said narrowing her eyes.

Elena was seriously tired of this. Rebekah didn't know what happened at that party and neither did anyone else and she wanted to keep it that way. So instead of talking to Rebekah she shoved her off of her and shoved her back into the locker. She saw a hint of fear in Rebekah's eyes before it was replaced with rage.

"Don't ever touch me again. You got that?"

She let go of Rebekah and walked away. She had to get out of there.

"You're dead, Elena Gilbert, Dead!"

Elena turned around and narrowed her eyes at Rebekah.

"We'll see about that."

Elena smiled leaving Rebekah to wonder why the hell she stood up to her in the first place.
