It All Started With a Diary

retaliation|part 1

IcyHot, it read.

Bits of her plan clicked immediately. "No," I shook my head in a rapid motion.

Her hands raised in defense. "Hear me out."

"No way," I disagreed.

I knew what IcyHot was, and what it was meant to do. But, I didn't know what Maggie thought she would be able to accomplish with it.

Her green eyes were full of mischief, if you could even call the evil glint such a thing. "They deserve it! C'mon, I know that it sounds bad, but if we just slip some of this bad baby inside of their cheer outfits—"

"I'm in!" Raven shouted, a grin stretching her lips.

I looked at her in disbelief. What in the hell was wrong with them? I understood that the effects of IcyHot weren't long-lasting, but I knew that it would be quite a stir if someone found out.

I gripped the sofa's pillow; it might have been the only one with sense here. "You guys are insane."

"Insanely correct!" Maggie shook me by the shoulders. "Come on, don't you think that this might knock their fake asses off their high horses? And, do you really think they would think twice about doing this to one of us?"

I ignored the agreement ringing in the back of my head. "It's wrong."

"So wrong that it's right," Raven pointed out.

My eyes burned with anticipation. I knew this was wrong, and it was against everything I had learned. But, maybe we would get out in time. Maybe this would show them that they couldn't get away with bullying others. They'd gotten away with their schemes too many times.

The doubt still clouded me though. "I-I don't know," I breathed out.

Raven's head titled, eyes pleading as she saw my stance breaking. "It's not like it'll kill them. I'm sick of watching those two get whatever they want, while destroying whoever they want. Fuck them, and their soon burning fresh bikini waxes."

I looked at her, then to Maggie. I could feel my guard breaking as I thought over their words. Since I'd gotten here, both Natasha and Amber were two of my main tormentors. Even if they weren't the only ones, they were usually the source of it. Perhaps I was wrong for thinking that this was alright, but my seventeen year old brain told me otherwise.

"I just need to think about it," I said, placing the pillow down.

"Well, you need to think quick, because I'm leaving in about..." Maggie tsked as she glanced down at her watch. "Yep, right now. Come on, we can stop for dinner right after. My treat."

I stood abruptly as her and Raven did. "What if we get caught??"

Maggie snickered as she grabbed the container again. "That's the least of our troubles."

I gulped as she pulled open the door. Growing edgy, I realized that we were actually doing this. I was involved in such a despicable thing, and I was actually sort of excited for it.

"What type of school security leaves a locker room open?" Raven chuckled as we entered the vacant space. "Fucking idiots."

My hands shook around the phone as I positioned the flashlight towards Maggie. Without a care of who would hear, she slammed one of the locker doors.

I envied how cool she was about this. "A pretty damn cool one," Maggie responded with a sinister grin.

"Found it," Raven whispered as she pulled out one of the cheerleaders' outfits.
