(Dawn before the Talent Show)
*November 14th, 1941*
*1:12 pm*
*Highlands High School*
Anya was chatting with Cynthia and the others at the quad as the talent show was slowly approaching.
"So, are you interested in modelin? I know you will make both men and women fall for you! You'll be a star!" Cynthia had asked Anya in a curious tone as she was met with her friend denying her offer as she shook her head.
"I'm good, and I'm gonna consider becoming a nurse or acting, but thanks for the consideration," Anya responded with a smile while Cynthia nodded in understandment.
"You sure? Well, I can't force you, so that's out of the question, and people might just think it's me since we look the same," Cynthia responded while laughing to herself as she took a bite from the sandwich Anya gave her.
"You're right, and I don't wanna deal with that again since it has gotten me grounded, and also, I certainly don't wanna deal with Judith as well," Anya spoke back to her friend in a somewhat cautious voice.
At the same time, Cynthia nodded in agreement as Charlotte began to talk.
"Oh, that reminds me! Will Calvin be joining us for the talent show? I heard that Louise was here, so I figured he'd join us," Charlotte had asked Anya in a curious tone as she was met with her friend shrugging her shoulders and unsure herself.
"I don't know, but if Louise is here, then Calvin is coming since; apparently, he doesn't like his sister being alone and whatnot," Anya responded in a tone filled with curiosity as Charlotte nodded in understanding.
"I see; well, I hope we see him and Claudia as well since it's been ages since we've seen her, but if they decide not to come, then I can understand that.." Charlotte responded while her friends nodded in agreement.
Suddenly, footsteps could be heard, which caught the group's attention as two familiar faces approached them, and it was none other than Judith and Neville, much to the dismay of Anya and the others.
"Well, well, if it isn't the two little Anyas. I think I'm going to puke if I'm going to stare at them any longer," Judith had spoken out to the pair in disgust while Neville laughed at her comment as he chimed into the conversation.
"Good one, Cousin! They're even hanging out with the two little freaks as well! Talk about sadness!" Neville had also spoken out in vain as the pair continued to laugh as Anya annoyingly got up and confronted Judith.
"Just leave us alone; we're just minding our business, okay? We don't need any of your crap," Anya had sternly told Judith while Cynthia chimed into the conflict.
"She's right; I know your mother, so I won't be afraid to contact her if you continue to harass my friends, so just buzz off," Cynthia warned Judith, as this only made her laugh quite loudly alongside Neville.
"Be quiet, you annoying little redneck bitch! It's because of you that my mother is being more strict towards me, so just kindly back off, or else I'm going to have to do it on my terms," Judith spat out in disgust while still smiling at her as this caused Cynthia to stand up to face Judith in anger quickly.
"What did you just call me?! If callin someone like me by that name thinks you're going to win whatever this pointless drama is, then you are wrong, so you better back off, or I'm going to give you somethin to cry about, got it?!" Cynthia spoke out to Judith in anger, as this only made Judith laugh rather nervously as she took a few steps back.
"Oh? Are you going to hit me? Try it! See what happens! If you lay one finger on me, you will regret it.." Judith spat back in a rather annoyed voice as she and Cynthia stared each other down while, at the same time, Anya, Charlotte, and Emma watched in anticipation of what would happen next.
"I'm just sayin, do NOT call me a redneck that way, okay? So just turn around and walk away.." Cynthia warned Judith sternly while Anya, Charlotte, and Emma nodded in support of their friend while Judith and Neville only laughed at the threat.
"No, I won't, so you gotta make me, you little redneck bitch, and besides, Who do you think you are threatening me like that?" Judith spoke back to Cynthia while snickering at her as Neville began to chime into the argument.
"My cousin is correct; It will take more than that to make us leave! So just shut up and let us bully you and your pathetic friends again!" Neville spat out towards Cynthia and the others, and he and Judith continued to laugh; however, this was interrupted as Cynthia pushed Judith towards the ground, as the young girl fell on her butt, which surprised everyone at the scene as this angered Judith.
"D-Did you seriously just assault me?! You've ruined my good outfit as well, you little bitch! You will pay for this!" Judith spat out while she slowly got up with the help of Neville; he nodded in agreement as Charlotte began to speak.
"Don't play the victim, Judith. Just leave us alone, okay? You don't have to be a bully but rather someone kind.." Charlotte advised Judith in a rather calm but stern tone of voice, as this only made Judith more irritated.
"Be quiet, you little freak! You don't tell me what to do! Just don't get too comfortable, okay? I'm still going to get back at you freaks, so be sure to sleep with one eye open tonight.." Judith spat back at Charlotte and the others as she and Neville angrily left the scene, much to the relief of the gang.
"Finally, Judith can leave us alone for the time being, and she seriously needs to grow up cause this behavior isn't acceptable at all," Anya said in annoyance. In contrast, Cynthia and the others nodded in agreement.
"I agree. Judith must chill out and let go of this nonsense, but let's change subjects, okay? I don't wanna even think about Judith calling me that word in such a manner." Cynthia spoke out in agreement as she was met with her friends, nodding as Emma began to speak.
"I'm with Cynthia, and who's excited about the talent show tonight? I can't wait to see our friends and everyone else perform, so let's not allow Judith and Neville to ruin our day." Emma spoke out in relief as everyone nodded in agreement, and Anya began speaking.
"I'm pretty excited for tonight, and I wonder what Allison, Carrie, and Russell are gonna show us, and I bet it's gonna be exciting," Anya responded in a more happy tone of voice, making Emma and the others smile.
"That's wonderful, and I'm also excited, so let's keep our friends in our thoughts as they practice for the talent show." Emma responded with a smile, while Cynthia smiled as well.
"I just wish Robert would have come, and he would have loved the talent show, but he had plans for today, so he won't be able to come; however, speakin of that, I also have somethin to tell you guys.." Cynthia had spoken out to her friends while smiling, which caught everyone's interest.
"Really? What do you have to tell us? We're curious to know what it is.." Charlotte spoke out with a curious smile alongside Anya and Emma as Cynthia began to speak.
"W-Well, me and Robert have been takin our relationship to the next level, and we're gettin married in June of next year.." Cynthia responded to Charlotte and the others while blushing as this was met with cheers from her friends.
"Really?! That's wonderful! I wish you both the best and who proposed first? Anya had asked Cynthia in a cheerful tone as she smiled at Cynthia while waiting for an answer.
"Well, I proposed first, and poor old Robert can be painfully shy, and I knew what he wanted, so I decided to take command of the ship and propose instead of him!" Cynthia responded in a confident and cheerful voice, making Anya, Charlotte, and Emma smile at the response.
"That's wonderful; I'm glad you both are going to be together for a long time and if you ever want a flower girl, don't be afraid to ask me, okay?" Anya advised Cynthia with a confident smile while Charlotte and Emma nodded in support.
"And that goes for us as well, we want to support you at any level that we can, and we just want things to go wonderfully for you as well." Emma had spoken out as well, and this made Cynthia smile warmly.
"Y'all already know the answer to that, and you guys are my friends, so yall better show up and support me and my man." Cynthia responded with a smile.
"Oh, we're going to show up, and we're going to ensure that you and Robert's day goes spectacular.." Anya responded to Cynthia as the two girls shared a smile while, unknown to them, Judith and Neville were watching them the entire time despite leaving them alone.
"God, I hate Anya and her little freak of friends. I swear to god if she decides to marry Calvin…" Judith spat out in annoyance while Neville nodded his head in support.
"I can't even think of that. Calvin should have his eyes on you and only you and nobody else." Neville spoke out in support of his cousin while Judith began to walk away from the quad area.
"I'll make Calvin mine, one way or another. He'll understand that hanging out with that little tramp will do nothing but harm him.." Judith spoke back to Neville with a smile as she looked over to see Mai walking, which made her smile.
"Neville, look! It's that annoying girl from China! Let's mess with her for a bit, shall we?" Judith had spoken out to her cousin with a smile as she was met with Neville smiling back.
"You've read my mind; let's remind her who's in charge here.." Neville spoke out in full support of Judith's behavior; however, right when Judith and Neville were going to mess with Mai, they had seen Nancy approaching her, which made Judith back off.
"N-Neville! Never mind. I don't want that annoying ginger to mouth us off, and I'm not in the mood to hear someone lecture me, so let's get out of this annoying dump." Judith advised her cousin as she saw Neville stopping in his tracks before nodding in agreement.
"Damn it, Nancy ruins everything, but you're right, let's just get out of here before they notice us.." Neville had spoken back in a rather annoyed tone as the pair began to walk towards the school exit.
"Someday, Calvin will be mine while Anya and her little friends are beneath my feet! I'm Judith Miller, and NOBODY gets in my way.." Judith had thought to herself while letting out a confident smile as she and Nevile exited the school, hoping that someday she would eventually win against her enemies.
