Such a bloody liar!

30 HORRIFYING minutes LATER!!!!!!

Ok don't be shocked when I... AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!

What? I. Just. Can't. BELIEVE this!!!!!!!!

Ok, here's what happened when Principal Wilbur called me.

" Have a seat Miss Scotts" Believe me, I'd have frozen in fear if I'd stood any longer. When I sat down, he pulled out a small note. It was the flyers we'd made for homecoming. My heart rate soared.

" I've received information from a certain source that your team dissipated weeks ago Miss Scotts so why didn't you tell me?" Silence. Principal Wilbur glared at me. " Summer, Homecoming is in five days time! When were you planning to tell me?"

" I can explain..."

" There's absolutely nothing to explain. Luckily, we have an emergency committee that's ready to cover it all in 5 days" Principal Wilbur shook his head at me, disappointed. " I'm so disappointed in you Miss Scotts and believe me, this will be the last event I'll ever let you handle. Is that clear?" I hung my head low and nodded. Tears threatened to spill through my eyes and I held them back.

" Now, I'll like to introduce you to our saviour. Come on in Miss Walker" While I tried to contemplate between dying by choking on garbage food or hanging off a cliff with only a bikini on was the best way to die, Miss 'Walker' walked in. And it wasn't just any Walker that DIDN'T attend Heather-ville. It was CATHY!!!

CATHY WALKER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

OMG I nearly threw up in my mouth! Twice!! Cathy pranced in like she was on a runway, flounced her hair back and gave me a smile that melted my insides. In anger! Principal Wilbur was smiling at her too. That I-wish-every- student-was-like-you-and-not-crazy-Summer smile.

" You called for me?" She asked sweetly, pulling a seat out like an angel. He nodded at her.

" Yes dear" He gave me a not-so-smiley-smile " Summer, this is Cathy Walker. She's your classmate too Summer" He added , trying rub my failure in. I eyed him and eyed Cathy even more while she shot me that terrible smile of hers and patted her hair daintily.

" So Summer you will be working with Miss Walker so please, do NOT mess this up. Understood?" I eyed him, swallowed back my protests and nodded.

" Glad that we understand each other. You may leave" He said, nodding at the door. I slouched out of my seat and hurried out, trying to avoid a conversation with Cathy. She was moved too fast with a purpose. She blocked my path to freedom and smirked at me with her hands on her model-thin waist.

" Aww? Why the sad face? Baby boo boo wants to go away?"

" Get lost Cathy" I said, trying to bristle past her. She shoved me aside and glared at me.

" Don't be too fast Summer dear..."

" What the heck do you want from me?" I screamed at her

" you've convinced Principal Wilbur of how incompetent the EPC is and you're handling the event yourself. What more do you want from me?" Cathy smirked and stepped so close that I could feel her warm rosy breath in my face.

" Oh it's nothing personal Summer" She gave me a wicked smile " just business. We have a meeting today after school and do NOT miss it even if have a massive case of loser-in-gin-tis... Ok wait you do." She slobbered on like 9 layers of lip gloss and pouted her lips at me.

" And don't feel so jealous of me Summer. It's not my fault that I'm all beauty and brains" I scoffed.

" That's an insult to the word brain" She smiled and whizzed Elan Tusker body spray all over herself and the air.

" Cute comeback. What? Did you spend all night thinking that one up? I growled and looked away.

" Fuck off Cathy"

" Course I will. Right after you smell the cologne of my victory!" she cheered, spraying an entire can at me. I stumbled back, dazed while she pranced off, whistling and humming some cheerleader tune. I coughed and tried to stand straight, whoozing from all the perfume and choked up air. I staggered back and nearly toppled over when a firm hard hand grasped my waist firmly. I could feel thick-set abs hidden behind a smug shirt and even in my dizziness, I blushed at the fact that I was probably being held by a jock. He held me up straight up and held my hair back so I could get more air. I gasped and he handed me a small pink hanky that smelled like roses. I stared at it, surprised. What are the odds that a random high school jock carried a pink rose-scented hanky around? One in a million.

He wiped my wet face with it and held me straight, staring into my eyes. Those shiny blue eyes looked familiar. I stared into his face closely and moved away.

" Diego" I breathed, glaring at him. The nerve!!! " Hey..."

" Yeah. Hey, hi, what do you think you're doing?" " Helping you out?"

" I don't need your help thanks" I said, trying to bristle past him. He held me back.

" Summer wait" I groaned but he went on.

" What's your problem with me? Have I done anything to you?" I scoffed and glowered even harder.

" Oh really? Have you done ANYTHING to me? oh Diego you have done A LOT! So much that you don't need to ask and thanks but NO THANKS!!"

" Then let's start somewhere"

" Like where exactly?"

" Splat-burgers" I hissed and rolled my eyes.

" What could I do for you? You were caught red-handed after all" " Red-handed doing what?"

" Oh Diego you're SUCH a liar. You can play your crazy mind games on June and the rest but it won't work on me"

" What the heck are you talking about Summer?!" He hollered. " Don't act like you don't know!!" I hollered back.

" Know what?"

" That you're a jerk!!"

" What the heck do you even mean?"

" You dated my best friends behind their back, ruined their lives and our friendship and crew and you act as if you're a candy man!"

" I don't why or how any of that happpened but I assure you, I have no idea what you're talking about but lets talk about your friends. They're suppposedly my 'girlfriends' right?"

" Yeah?"

" And I dated them?"

" Sure you did you lying cheating snit..."

" That's exactly what I'm trying to say Summer I did not date your friends! I don't even have a girlfriend!! why don't you just get it?" I glared at his stupidly gorgeous face that still made my tummy rumble and looked away.

" Then how come they all claim to be your girlfriend. They're so sure about it Diego. You even sent them love letters and messages and poems and stuff..."

" Whoa, whoa, whoa. Hold on there. I never did ANY of that. Sure I talked to them whenever they hung out with Cathy and that was it..."

" Hold on a sec, did you just say Cathy?" " Course. What's up with her?"

" You and Cathy were friends?"

" Are. We're still friends"

" And she made you hang out and talk to Shayna, Dawn and Carlizza?" He nodded and I gasped. I was getting somewhere with this. I was definitely heading somewhere.

" Yeah. I even went out with them once. Individually though. Cathy said they were the school welcoming committee but now that I think of it, it felt kinda weird, like were on a date or something"

" Oh my God Cathy! Why the hell didn't I think about it before?" " What?"

" Cathy. Cathy has been manipulating everyone. But why? Yeah I know she hates me and all but why would she want to hurt my friends? Why..."

" Earth to Summer? Hello, what are you talking about? Cathy couldn't possibly be so malicious. She's the nicest person I know" I gaped at him. What? Like WHAAAAAAAAT?

" Cathy...Is...Nice?" I coughed and gaped at him " Cathy's definitely hypnotized you. Oh poor, poor boy. We need to get your brain back"

" Summer..."

" Cathy's behind all of this and I can prove it to you. Plus, Cathy is NOT nice. She's never nice and she never will. I..."

" You're a nut case" He muttered, walking out on me. I glared at him and held him back.

" What's your deal? You didn't do it so who else could have done it if not her?"

" Really?" He scoffed " Is that how you go about blaming people? Why do you like to see the worst in people?" He shrugged my hand off and strodded down to chemistry. I watched him leave, mad. I don't see the worst in Cathy. Cathy is THE worst. And I'm SOOO going to prove that to Diego's dumb head.
