DON’T BITE MORE THAN YOU CAN CHEW, KATIE JER

CHAPTER SEVENTY FIVE

My suspension is over and I’m back in school. The walls are decorated with posters of Katie jer as she is crowned Miss Royal Crest and queen. I try not to suffocate with the looming walls staring at me mockingly. I make my way over to cheer practice. When I get there, a whole new routine is being done and I’m now far behind. Coach asks me to watch the recorded videos whilst Kat talks and laughs with my team members. She has taken over my team. Chloe walks up to me.

“If eyes could kill, we’d be holding a funeral for her.” She says.

“Ugh.. I absolutely hate her. How did you tolerate her this past few days.”

“Well, she’s not that bad. She apologized and all that. Most of good friendships start with hate. Like you and me. We used to totally despise each other but now look at us we…”

“Chloe, Oh my God Chloe. I swear to God, tell me you’re joking and not actually friends with that good for nothing hood rat.”

“I’m not. Omg! I was just teasing.” She laughs awkwardly and looks away.

“I would skip practice.” I grab my stuff and leave the gym, heading to my class calculus. I tear a few posters of hers and toss into the trash can on my way. I drop into seat in the empty class, watching as it slowly start to fill up.

Chloe was warming up to her but she wouldn’t be friends with her without my blessing. Unfortunately for her, she’d never get my blessing. I was being self-centered but I don’t care.

Kat was taking everything I own. From secret meetings with Kieran, to my queen title, to my cheer team. I don’t know what else she’d take from me but I need to take her down before that.

The rumors have begun again, but I have the perfect thing to take off their attention from me. I use a fake account of mine to post her pictures I took yesterday and not long after it’s already viral. I totally enjoy my class although I’m late and behind.

There’s always one thing you can have a full assurance that people at the top would have. Kat was the one currently at the top and she’d have those.

Haters.

All I had to do was post the picture and before lunch, not only had it gone viral and people were talking about it but they were printed posters of it covering the hallways. The devil works fast but Royal Crest students work faster.

“Did you see Kat’s picture?” Someone asks her friends as we are dismissed for lunch.

“Oh my god, I did. She’s legit a prostitute” I hear one of her friends reply.

“I knew she was a hood rat and here on some charity program.” Another responds and I follow behind, pretending to be on my phone just so I can hear their thoughts on the post

“How dare her even run for Miss Royal Crest.” A guy in the group says.

“That crown should be taken from her. She’s not qualified.” Another guy responds

“She’d only make other school’s laugh at us.” The first girl says

“Imagine having a low class prostitute as the face of your school.” The second one says

“Ugh don’t remind me. My skin is crawling. She legit had some old homeless man touching her boobs.” One other persons adds, scrunching her face.

“I legit want to throw up. Washroom guys.”

#cancelthequeen is trending with #lowclassprostitute. Next is #Katiejerslut and #Katwhore

I couldn’t be more pleased with these results.

A notification comes in and I see it’s from Kieran. I don’t even want to think about how he brutally took my mouth and punished me for my ‘rebellion’ last night.

Evil jerk from hell: Is that your fake account? I’d like to see what else you post on there.

I leave him on read.

Evil jerk from hell: I’m hurt princess. I didn’t know I could wipe the smile from your face this easily.

I look around, searching for him. Where could he be? I’m standing in the wide entrance hall.

My phone pings again.

Evil jerk from hell: Look up

Me: I wasn’t looking for you.

I lie but I look up, and see him typing.

Evil Jerk from Hell: You look so erotic looking up like that. Keep lying like that and we’d test how much you’ve learned to suck cock since the last time.

I grip my phone hard and keep moving. I won’t allow him to ruin my mood.

The whole hallway all looked very pretty to me and my mood was lifted up. There were picture of Katie and slander scrawled all over her Queen poster.

The icing on the cake was when the school siren wailed and she got called to the principal’s office in front of everyone.

“Katie Jer. Katie Jer, please report to the principal’s office immediately.” It was a truly beautiful sight.

I don’t listen to music but I think I just found my favorite song.

I see her from the end of the hall. Before my eyes land on her, hers is already looking at me—no, not looking, glowering at me.

I smile brightly as she walks towards me and stops right in front of me.

“Oh Aaliyah. You’re going to regret this.” She says in low tones.

“You’re still being delusional. You still don’t get it. Do you? This is just the beginning. Both of us can’t exist in this school. Only one person can stay. There can be only one queen in Royal Crest Academy. So come at with me with all you got. Don’t be all talk. Make me regret it if you’ve got the guts.” I challenged with a smile.

“I really underestimated you. I’ll definitely make you eat your words.” She grinds out in lowered whispers.

“Don’t bite more than you can chew, Katie Jer. This is my fort. You’re only a temporary ache that would I’d be relieved of very soon. If you want to have the happy ending then go and be the protagonist somewhere that I don’t exist. As far you’re in my story, you’d never win. I’d make sure of it.” I drop my chin onto her shoulder, whispering in her ears.

I step back, and she stares at me angrier than before. I walk past her, hitting her shoulder with mine as I pass her and she staggers back a few steps and out of my way
