REBECCA.

I impatiently waited for my old friend to arrive at the restaurant where we agreed to meet.

After years of trying to avoid each other at all cost, Anita finally decides to call me up to meet with her. The audacity of that crazy bitch to actually call me.

She must think I'm still that fool that she had the effrontery to mess around with in the past but boy oh boy was she wrong about that. I am no longer the powerless side kick that I used to be and I'm most definitely not going to let her say whatever she pleased today and get away with it.

"Rebecca?" The familiar voice of Anita Helton called out my name with a false smile plastered on her face.

"Annie darling!" I exclaimed, faking excitement and walking towards her to pull her in for a brief hug. No matter how much we hated each other, we could not afford to let the world know that we do.

"How have you been?" She asked as

Something fishy was happening with my mom and I could sense it.

Normally, I tried as much as I could to avoid getting involved in mom's business and although I know just how callous she is, I most of the time pretend not to understand her and I play dumb whenever I overhear any of her confidential conversations.

"I swear to God, I can't stand mom anymore!" I hissed, angrily barging into Corey's room.

"Now, tell me why the hell you barged into my room and don't forget to explain to me why I should care about your problems with mom?" He asked in a mock annoyed tone and I huffed at his childish behavior.

"I'm not in the mood for your dumb questions Corey. I'm in a bad mood just in case you're too blind to notice and I'm here to vent," I pointed out in frustration.

"I don't think I'm the right person to vent with or throw tantrums with and just in case you don't remember or you're too stupid to realise it, I don't like you. I absolutely detest you and I could care less what goes on in your life," he said and I chuckled.

"That is exactly why I'm here to hide out from mom cause I know this is the last place she'd think to look for me," I snapped back at him and his facial expression turned s
