Chapter 43 Oscar vs Elliott
Olivia stood at the balcony of the Grayson's mansion a glass of juice in one hand and her phone in the other. She was scrolling through the comments section of the trending video of Elliott confronting Oscar at the school's parking lot.
“ This is strange."
“ Oscar is so cool"
“ Oh please!"
“ Can't you see how he buried Elliott?"
“ Who's the girl they're fighting for?"
“ Notice Akira's fists are clenched?" Read a comment that was attached to a zoomed in screenshot of Akira's folded fists.
“Akira... again. So it's not only Elliott?"
“ I'm done letting you grow wings Akira, Olivia squeezed the juice glass till it cracked.
THE NEXT DAY
Akira spent the whole day with her friends as since Elliott was still mad at her. They attended classes together,had lunch together and were currently in the garden playing games when a brown haired girl approached Akira.
“ Hey Akira. Hey guys." She waved at her friends before turning to face her once more.
“ I don't mean mean to be rude but, why don't you wanna take off your hoodie?"
“ You're already being rude. Girl." Violet cut in.
“ It's fine Violet. I expected the question."
“ The reason I wear a hoodie is very personal. She paused and studied the girl's face.
“ You can trust me." The girl said sitting on the grass with them."
“ Fine. Gather around guys," Akira said to her friends. “This also involves you."
“ Before I continue, I'll appreciate if what I'm about to say remains with us." Akira paused and continued when they all nodded.
“ I had an accident two years ago and it left a large scar across my face."
“ OMG!" The girl gasped. “I'm so sorry."
“ That's the reason I'm stuck with this hoodie,I feel so insecure. Akira bowed her head like one overwhelmed with sadness."
“ I understand if you don't wanna be friends with me anymore, but please don't tell anyone," Akira sniffed.
“ Hey come here. We don't care about that, you'll always be our friend," violet smiled and pulled her in for a hug.
“ Yes Vee's right, the rest agreed.
“ Plus violet can take you to her mom for a consultation. Right Vee?" Oscar asked.
“ Sure. I'll inform her. The friends shared a group hug afterwards while the girl quietly walked away.
“ Thanks guys." Akira pulled out of the hug. “ You guys are the best and now I feel guilty."
“ You don't have to feel guilty. Amy smiled. You're our friend. And we're willing to help. I'll help with the bills." Amy said.
“ Leave that to me," Oscar countered.
“ I'll handle it. Violet said.
“ Guys there's no need for that. Akira cut in.
“ We're trying to help Akira. Relax. Violet rolled her eyes at her. We'll do whatever it takes to get rid of the scar.
“ Uhhh... there's no scar guys."
The group went completely silent the moment the moment she said this.
“ What!" The twins said simultaneously.
“ Did you say something?" Oscar asked puzzled.
“ What do you mean there's no scar?" Violet asked.
“ It was all an act guys. And I'm sorry for using you guys like that. But I really had to. I have never spoken with,or seen that girl so I had to do that.
“ Why? You could have just said no." Amy said.
“ Well she's going to report to whoever sent her. And when whoever it is makes a move... they'll be disappointed when my true face is revealed. Which is nothing like what I told her Akira laughed.
“ Damn you're so scheming." Violet laughed.
“ I can't wait to see the look of disappointment on the person's face Elsie laughed.
“ It'll be so epic." Leo smiled.
“ So why now?" Amy asked.
“ I'm tired of wearing it. It's getting too hot" Akira said making her friends laugh. “ Plus I can't wait to see the look on Isla's face when her position is no longer guaranteed.
MEANWHILE
“It's done." The brown haired girl said to another girl who had her back turned to her.
“ Tell me," the girl turned around, “ What did she say. Why does she wear a hoodie? What is her secret?".
“ She has a scar. A hideous one from her description."
“ Wow." The girl smiled overjoyed. “ You have done well. You can leave."
“ Really?. Just like that?" Do you even see me as a friend Olivia?." The girl asked.
“ Please don't start Mara." Olivia rolled her eyes and walked out leaving her fuming.
“ You're going to regret using and discarding me. Livvy." She vowed. She took one final look at the empty classroom before turning around and leave.
Olivia's POV
“ I stood watching the hoodie girl who's secret I now know. Ha! The students are going to be soo thrilled when they see the scar on her face. She's going to loose all her friends and Elliott. "
“ Who would want to be seen with a hideous scarred monstér?"
As for Elliott. He'll have no choice but to fall for me when he discovers how ugly) his crush is.
MARA
“From handling burner accounts to posting derogatory things about Amy and Akira.. Olivia used me to do that." She knew I needed a friend and she took advantage of that.
“But I'm done being here puppet. I'm going to get this burden of my chest." Mara rubbed her hands nervously as she walked over to Akira and her friends for the second time today, this time to confess.
“ Hey guys." She stood nervously in front of them.
“ How may we help you." the red haired girl, one of the twins asked with a smile that wasn't too friendly.
“ Olivia sent me." I said straight to the point. She plans to use the secret against Akira Infront of the whole school." I paused searching for any kind of reactions from their faces.
“ She makes me do all her dirty work and I'm sorry for letting myself be used to hurt other people," I continued when I didn't see any reaction from them.
“ Why do you let her use you?." Akira asked.
“ I've never had a friend before. I just wanted to feel accepted and I thought she could give me that," I sniffed.
“ It's fine. We hold nothing against you." Akira said, not a sign of annoyance in her voice.
“ Really?" I asked surprised but happy.
“ Yes. You're free to go."
“ And I hope you find a real friend soon." Violet smiled.
“ Thanks guys." I sniffed feeling relieved.
“ Your words makes me feel ligher." I smiled before leaving. My next move was thrashing out all Olivia's drugs and substances she hid among mine.
