SO HERE IT IS: CHAPTER 13
ZATANNA POV
As Zatanna walked the hallways of her school, she couldn't help but notice people seemed to be pointing and whispering or looking at her funny. Her irritation went full steam. One thing she hated was gossip especially when people ostracized you and acted like your bad luck or embarrassment was contagious. Another reason was that all this whispering and muttering was the basics for blackmail, conspiracy and backstabbing.
"DAILY NEWS! GET YOU DAILY NEWS HERE! ONLY IN TODAY'S NEWSPRINT:ZATANNA HOPELESSLY MISUNDERSTOOD OR SECRET PSYCOPATH! ONLY FOR $1"
Zatanna stopped walking, her eyes widening in surprise. Turning quickly she moved towards the newspaper stand where to her surprise a group way larger than usual was buying newspapers. She waited until the crowd had cleared leaving only a few newspapers. Taking out her purse and fumbling inside she took out a dollar and hurriedly thrust it at the girl. Kathy- Ann ,(according to what was ironed on in bright rainbow colors on her shirts) took the dollar as Zatanna hurriedly grabbed a paper and began to leaf through it like a mad women.
Zatanna walked along and as she began to read red spots began to flicker in her vision and a headache began to form. She had barely started to read the article and she felt offend. and hurt. she quickly flicked to the end of the article to see the editor's name. After a few minutes of shocked revelation Zatanna realized she was staring at the same name over and over, not really comprehending it. Because there in big ,black, bold print was the name: Tiffany Dots.
ARTEMIS POV
Artemis walked proudly, her head held high. A calm expression masked her face but only those close to her would notice the faint bags underneath her eyes concealed by a ton of makeup; which Artemis wished she hadn't put on since it was starting to irritate her eyes. Wherever she walked people stared at her like if she was an ultra- rare, once in a lifetime display and moved out of the way. Without any care in the world Artemis ducked into one of the many girls bathroom.
Once she was inside, she sighed all the emotional shock and output from yesterday making her tired. In front of the mirrors and sinks stood a clique of rich daddy girls. They had Gucci and Prada and Dolce and Gabbana and Channel products. Blackberries, android Smartphone, kindles and iPods and iPhones rested on the counter. One girl was talking.
"Oh My Gosh. Look at this girls. Can you believe this. My 15,000 Prada purse got wet with water and soap!"
"Chill Cleo, your maid can do that"
"Yeah but she knows once she touches it I would want it .Besides I've already worn it once. I'll just ask daddy for another one straight from the runway!" At this the girls began to talk and chatter excitedly amongst themselves but then they noticed Artemis who was trying to stay quiet and not say some sarcastic comment.
Just like that, the girls stopped laughing and joking with each other and frantically packed up their stuff and rushed out the door, trying not to brush Artemis, their eyes lowered to the floor. But even though they were lowered Artemis saw the fear in them.
ZATANNA POV
Zatanna walked past one of the study hall classrooms which were usually empty. Tiffany's act had been really good and it hurt. She sighed and walked faster wanted to make sense of the situation, but a hand pulled her into an empty classroom. Where she came face to face with Tiffany.
" Z-"
"I really don't want to do this right now okay? You can go and boast to the whole world for all I care. Whatever friendship we had, no matter how insignificant it was to you, it's over."
"Stop for a minute and think. After the way that bitch treated me, you honestly think I would do something for her?"
"No... but what the hell am I supposed to believe. I don't have that many friends at school and if I do, you're the only one who accepts my freakiness. Maybe I wanted friends so badly it clouded my judgment" Zatanna blinked furiously as tears threatened to fall. Tiffany said nothing, she only stared at Zatanna.
Zatanna bean to walk to the door when she felt someone hug her from behind. "Maybe the toughest of friendships can crumble from a simple misunderstanding."
"Yeah, trusting the other person"
"The paper... At least listen to my side of what happened before you break up our friendship?"
"... Fine but only because you seem desperate"
"Good thanks..."
ARTEMIS POV
Artemis stood over one of the sinks, splashing water on her face. Every time she moved, the bracelet on her arm dangled. It annoyed her a little. When she had woken up, she'd found it in on her nightstand with a note from Wally explaining it was his and she better wear it. She'd ignored the threat and walked to the kitchen wishing for some waffles and saw the blur that was Wally come to a stop, directly in front of her.
"Hey" he had said excitedly .Artemis had looked away awkwardly to the side. She couldn't face him the same way after what happened the other day, so she moved around him to get some waffles. Wally had trailed After her.
You're not wearing the bracelet" He'd said almost accusingly
"Don't need it" She had replied nonchalantly. Wally, on the other hand didn't seem to think so. While she was eating he ran into her room and tied to her left hand (she was right handed). She had grabbed a knife and threatened to cut it off and he...
Artemis shook her head wanting to get the scene out of her head. Damn it! She needed some girl advice. Fishing out her phone from out of her pocket, she sent a text.
ZATANNA POV
Zatanna sighed gratefully in her head at the sound of her phone's message alert. She looked at the screen
'Need help, boy trouble Artemis'
'what is it'
'Wally'
'figures'
what 2 do about him'
what'd he do?'
'nothing'
'I can't help if I don't know'
' He almost kissed me'
'and u're upset. I thought u told me u kinda liked him'
' yeah but idk I guess help'
'while we're at it I need ur help'
'hit me with ur best shot'
TIFFANY POV
Tiffany watched enviously as someone texted Zatanna over and over again.
'At least somebody was talking to her' Tiffany thought sadly. She couldn't blame her though. If she was in the same situation as Zatanna with the same history, her reaction would probably be the same.
She was furious beneath her sadness. How dare they do such a disgusting thing. And she was just beginning to re- make friends. Even when she was in the group, she'd felt uncomfortable with the acts they did and the way they treated everybody.
'Guess I deserve it .I wasn't exactly Miss Congeniality now was I?'
Tiffany sighed and closed her eyes.' Go to your happy place, go to your-'
"So what's next?" Tiffany snapped opened her eyes.
"We find evidence and prove my innocence"
