It All Started With a Diary

retaliation|part 2

I smiled at my reflection. Never had I felt so pretty. The only time I'd ever felt the slightest of beautiful was when I had been with Kade. Now, I was on my own and I saw it for myself.

I cursed at myself as he managed to scurry into my head, again. I couldn't think of him, not tonight. Even if he would be at the party, I would only have to hold my head up high, and have a good time. I looked good, and I deserved to feel like it tonight.

I sighed. "Easier said than done," I murmured to myself.

I opened the door to the bathroom, stepping out with a shy smile. I felt their eyes fall on me and for a moment it felt like judgment day, but then, Raven's squeal filled the room.

I jumped as she hopped up. "You look so..." she trailed off as she tried to find the words.

"Fucking hot," Maggie finished for her, nodding appreciatively from the beanbag chair.

"You know what, I get Maggie's' point," Raven chuckled, smoothing her hand over my skirt. "I'm taking a shot at you tonight. You look hotter than us."

I blushed under their gaze. I couldn't help but shake my head in disagreement at their words. We would have to be on another planet for me to look better than they did. They were gorgeous.

"Jax!" Maggie shouted at her very slow-paced brother.

Raven asked if I wanted her to curl my hair and do light makeup. Since I had already gone out of my comfort zone with this outfit, I accepted. She sat me down on her bed, leaning over me to kiss my cheek. "Kade's going to lose his shit when he sees you," she gushed over me as she undid my ponytail.

While she curled my hair, Maggie showed us the result of our 'adventure' last night. She was right, someone had live-streamed the pep rally, just as they always did, but just as the music began, the cheerleaders went crazy. We didn't hit them all, as some of them were innocent. But, I still remembered them individually, as did Raven so those were the ones we touched.

The video snippet of their screams and shocked reactions had gone viral, from Maggie's' word. I even saw some of the girls, specifically Amber and Natasha rip their outfits in order to get it off. It had been reposted and altered into hilarious memes, Raven even started some of them over the last few hours. We all spent the next several minutes giggling over it all.

"What—whoa," Jax stopped as he laid eyes on us. "Look at my children, all grown up." He pretended to swipe a fake tear as he stepped in the room.

I smiled at him before Raven turned my head back towards her. I allowed her to toy with my face; she was astronomical when it came to makeup.

"If you and that Kade guy weren't a thing, I'd try my chance," Jax whistled as he winked at me. "I promise Kimberly, I'd be so good to you."

I rolled my eyes with a blush to follow before teasing, "Keep that confidence and I might let you have your shot."

Jax was handsome, past that actually. His black hair lacked grease, or any other manufactured product, it did its own thing. He wore a short-sleeved gray button-up top, but the first three were undone, casually revealing a muscular chest. His legs were covered with a pair of dark gray jeans, his feet covered with a pair of freshly appearing white shoes. His green eyes only flourished his looks, the pretty orbs flickering back and forth to Raven and I.

Maggie tapped at something on her phone. "You got that right. Kade and Levi are going to regret their shit tonight," Maggie chuckled as the thought passed by her brain. "It's gonna be so much fun to witness. My own personal Days Of Our Lives."
