Drowning in the Deep End

Once an Enemy Always an Enemy

I was brutally awakened by my alarm, but I didn't want to get out of bed. After letting my eyes adjust to the lighting outside, I hit the snooze button, grabbed my iPhone and slowly walked to my bathroom. Thank God I have a bathroom in my room, I thought to myself. I can take as long as I want without being hurried. I unlocked my iPhone and put on some music.

I undressed and got into the shower. I sang my heart out for about a good hour and a half, while washing my body and hair. I got out and wrapped my cold and wet body in my sky blue towel. I dried my hair, straightened it, and then curled it. As I walked to my dresser, I felt awake and clean. I checked the weather and it was going to be warm.

So, I picked out my top of the line black strapless bra, comfortable panties, 'Normal Is Boring' black crop top that is open in the back, a pair of cute, rebel booty shorts with lace on the hems, and my black gladiator flat sandals.

I took some of my curls out with a comb and put my hair in the style of half up half down. My phone went off buzzing, Sailing by *NSYNC, indicating that Bethany was either texting or calling me.

"Destiny, I'm outside you're house, open up."

"For real, Bethany? I'm coming." I said, hanging up, dropping my phone on my bed and running downstairs.

"Well, hello Destiny. You cleaned up well."

"Thanks?" I said, laughing.

"Ready to face Melanie?"

"I was born ready! Just let me grab my phone," I said, running upstairs to grab my phone and my backpack. "Love you Mom, see you after school." I said, kissing her goodbye and walking outside with Bethany.

I walked to school with confidence, I didn't have to fear Melanie anymore. She was the least of my problems. She was still a problem though, just not the most important one. I had some dirt on her, and that's all I needed to make her back the hell off my back. She's been trying to get under my skin, she made it half way, until I smacked her off.

"What are you going to say to her?"

"I'm not sure. Last time it just came to me."

"We're almost at school, we'll find out soon enough."

As we stepped onto the sidewalk, people looked at us. I didn't know if they were happy, being sarcastic, or just being rude. But, it turns out they were clapping towards me. Everyone seemed to still be hooked on me dissing Melanie. I looked around and spotted Melanie and her "posse" under a tree, making sure their skin didn't get any sun on it. I mean, talk about overdoing it. But, honestly I could care less. Bethany and I walked past the crowd, we smiled and laughed.

Melanie walked over to us alone, surprisingly, she looked me dead in the eye and said, "Bitch, you better watch your back!"

I laughed and answered back, "Ha! Me? You've got nothing on me!"

"I don't have to have dirt on you, I can get information other ways."

I looked at her as she walked away and yelled, "Don't go around being a slut! No guy wants you!"

She gave me the middle finger and said, "Oh baby, guys want me more than they want you! I bet I got more dick than you ever did! You getting raped doesn't count either!"

My face became paler than a vampires. I froze in my tracks. When the bell rang for school, I ran into the school and ran into the bathroom and cried.

My life was over.

Everyone must think I might have AIDS or STDS or something. I couldn't face the school anymore. I wanted to die so badly at this moment. But, if Melanie wanted to play dirty, so could I. I fixed myself up, and around Lunch, I walked over to Melanie's table and everyone pulled out their phones.

"Alright Melanie, you're a true bitch and you deserve to rot in Hell. I've seen your past. If you look at your old Facebook photos, you can see you being a slut with a whole shit load of guys! I believe there is one with you sucking a dick!"

Everyone instantly began looking on Facebook for the photos. Jimmy and four other guys found her being slutty, and Mary and two other girls found the dick sucking picture. Her face became a bright red and then paler than a ghost. I got her good, she better not try to get to me again or else.

The look on Melanie's "posse's" faces were priceless. It put a smile on my face. Melanie and I threatened each other for quite a while. After a while it was going stupid, so I told her to stop. We ignored each other for a while. I don't think it was over yet, though.

The next day at school, wasn't no gum drops and rainbows, but it wasn't bad either. Melanie and her "posse" came over to me, I swear if they wanted to start shit, I was ready to cut a bitch.

"So," Melanie started. "How's your mom, she still sleeping around?" The whole school slowly creeped near us and started laughing. I swear, my face turned red with anger, my eyes turned fire red, and my hands clenched into fists.

Without thinking, I threw a blow, hitting Melanie right in the nose, "Don't talk crap about my mom, hoe or I swear to God, your little love affairs with-" I cut off, I smirked and walked away, turning on my heels.

Bethany ran to my side, "Damn, Destiny, what happened back there?"

"She talked shit about my mom, so I punched her in her perfect nose, and mentioned her love affair with Mr. Evans. But, I cut off before I could say his name. Now, help me with this bitch's blood off my hand, please?" I giggled as we walked to the bathroom.

As we got to the bathroom, I washed the blood off my hand, and dries them off. After school, Bethany and I went to my house, and watched Netflix and ate popcorn. After a while, she went home and I started my homework.

I thought about Melanie, I didn't want to, but I did. I was thinking what she's try tomorrow, or what she'd look like. I laughed at the thought of her nose being wrapped in bandages.

I dose off to sleep with a smile on my face, thinking about Melanie's nose. I'm such a badass.
