3 The numbers

"Are you serious Kelly never shuts up about Xander and Sasha is always talking about Xavion it is like they have this crush on them?" she said and her friends turned red and the boys smirked. When she realized what she said she stared wide-eyed at the girls.

"Would you like to sit with us", she asked and I could see what she was playing at.

"We would love to", I said.

After we sat down Clara came over.

"Xavier baby why are you sitting with these whores"

After she said that Brielle stood up drawing attention and she went right up to Clara.

"I don't see how we classify as whores while you and your little bitch that follows you around drop your panties to anyone."

Clara looked like she was about to explode.

"You bitch do you understand that my father could end your life.

"No I can't understand too much STDs blocking our signal and tell your father he is behind on payments he might as well just tell you he is broke and as soon as you go home answer the phone", Brielle said with a smirk.

"I am sorry."

I looked at her, "Why are you sorry."

"Well when I was defending myself against Clara I might have mentioned you and when I finished my report on you I saw that you have your problems and that she cheated on you so I apologize."

"Yes, I literally came to your table to make you eat your words and you did, So why did you pull us out of the cafeteria."

"Look I don't like you, in fact, you are one of the least liked persons in my book, but just look at my friend with your friends.

I turned to see that they were laughing and looking all lovey-dovey and stuff.

"That is the first time they laughed with someone else. "

"So you mean to tell me you don't laugh with anyone."

"That is exactly what I said and meant, I haven't laughed in three years."

"What but weren't you laughing in there."

"No"

"Why don't you laugh."

"I don't need to tell you about it."

I was about to ask her more but her phone rang and she answered then she ran past me completely ignoring me as I called after her.

Brielle's pov

As soon as I got the phone call I took off running I knew Xavier was calling me but I ignored him and continued. That phone call was my mother shouting in my ears that the numbers (money) in the stocks were going down at an insanely fast rate.

I ran through the school's door and to my car as I sped down the high way to the company I was analyzing how this could have happened.

Opening the door I took the elevator to level 7 where all the accounting was done as soon as I was out I found a way to stop the money from either leaking or being transferred.

"My office all of you", I said.

They all cowered in fear they knew I didn't call anybody to my office unless someone was going to get fired.

They were all lined up in my office as I inspected their faces. I looked at this one girl's face, her name was Bethany she looked guilty while everyone looked fearful so I knew I found my culprit but I want her to tell me herself that she did it so I use guilt-tripping.

"If someone doesn't own up to it everyone in this room is fired."

'You can't do that," Bethany said.

I narrowed my eyes at her, "but I can, Bethany."

"NOW WHO DID IT!"

"I did it, okay!", I looked at Bethany.

"Thank you, you are all dismissed and Bethany you are fired and you will be speaking to my lawyers, I want back my millions you were transferring."

She walked out of my office with her head held down in shame. I knew she had a reason to do it's just that I don't like a betrayal. I have been acting weird lately I have been apologizing and my behavior is just not like me I am a bitch but I am not acting like it and that is weird. I am broken out of my thoughts by my cell phone ringing.

"Hello"

"Brielle I am going to kill you when you get back to school."

"Sasha why would you kill me, aren't you hanging with your crush."

"Yeah, we were and that is the problem."

"Why is that a problem?"

"The problem is that you exposed us."

"How did I expose you?"

"As a friend, you aren't supposed to tell our crushes that we like them."

"Okay whatever curse me at school bye."

Then I hanged up. I don't get it she wanted a boyfriend she likes the dude he likes her obviously so why is she mad. This is why I am single and will probably forever be.

As I sat down a knock came to my office door.

"Miss Powell your mother requests you in her office."

"Okay, Jessica tell her I will be right there."

What does mom want now?

I got up and went to to my mother's office.

"Yes"

"Brielle can you pick up your brother from school today"

"Mom I was going to do something."

"Is smoking better than your brother?" she asked daring me to say yes.

"No"

"Okay so it isn't a problem."

I just walked out I hated not getting my way. Smoking was another thing I picked up after my rebellious years and it helped me to calm down so every once in a while I did it and mom knew she wasn't happy and threw a fit about how I almost left her once and she won't allow me to but then gradually got okay with it.

I entered my car and fix the radio on a good song then buckled up. The ride was shorter than usual there was probably about 2 more sessions left of school and it was PE I hated P.E.
