C5 coping up

There's dead silence for a minute. Did I really threaten her?

" I'm not ready to deal with you, Madison. Don't expect me to be sorry. I couldn't reject him when he proposed to me. I love him too. I can't sacrifice him for you. Is this explanation enough?" Veronica said without feeling guilty.

" You are heartless. After all that you did, you couldn't even say sorry. Madison would have let him go for you. You are such a selfish bitch." Sofia snapped.

" Call me whatever you want? But I'm not the only one who ruined our friendship. Madison did too. She kissed Xander. It was supposed to me. I can forgive him, but not you."

" Forgive? I'm the one who should say whether I can forgive you or not. I'm defiently not going to forgive you in my life. I never wanna see your face again. You are gonna pay for whatever you did to me." I warned her.

" Let's see that. Maybe you would be the one who's gonna suffer for this." Veronica hung up after that word. I couldn't express all the anger inside me.

" That bitch...We should have never trusted her in the first place. She plasters a fake smile and betrays people behind their back."

" Yeah. As you said, I wish I could do something bad to her. Do you think does she really loves Xander? If she even feels real love, she would have never betrayed her friend, me."

" She doesn't know any meaning of love. She's only good at hooking up and I swear I will bring this to Xander's presence and end whatever going on between them." Sofia promised. I can't say no to that. Xander falling for the wrong person. Even if he hates me, I don't him to end up in a wrong relationship.

" I'm thinking the same," I told Sofia and we hung up after a few minutes to refresh our mind.

The next day, I went to school feeling numb. I might say 'burn-in hell' to whoever talks to me. But the first conversation I had is with Xander. Some bad luck gonna follow me again.

" You know that I and Veronica are dating. You decided to kiss me even after knowing that. Now she hates me more than I thought she would. What the hell were you thinking? " Xander threw his bag on his bench and shouts at me.

Is he thinking that I kissed him knowing that he's dating Veronica? That's out of my character.

" I should be asking this. What the hell were you thinking when you kissed me back? I never know..." he interrupted me before I could tell that I don't know that they were dating. I got no time to say the truth.

" That was a mistake. I didn't expect that. Now, I regret it so much that I wish I could take it back. I wish I never met you. All I did was talk with you for a minute or so every day and you recked my relationship," He yelled and turned back as the teacher entered the class. When the whole class become silent, a lot of things is going on in my mind. I thought I could make it up with him and be his friend again.

Veronica ruined that chance. She told all possible lies to him and made him hate me. Who could have done that except her? I can never get out of this mess.

" Get over him, Madison. Xander blindly trusts Veronica. She's taking advantage of it. I'm sure he's gonna end up heartbroken because of her. He deserves it. Veronica can go to hell." Sofia reacted when I told her about the morning incident.

I don't think I can get over him. I want him to know the truth. If he knows the truth, he would never hate me. He will fall out of love for the wrong place. I hate that I still think good things for Xander.

" Having revenge on her is not going to do any good thing for me. I'm never going to see him or talk to him again. I had enough. Maybe, I need to change to another section next year. I don't need to see their face again."

" You don't need to hide from anyone, Madison. You have already seen bad things in your life. That's enough. Forget him, we are not going to deal with them again." Sofia said looking at the fountain in our school. That's where all students throw coins and make a wish. That's childish but most of the time it works out for everyone.

Sofia looked angrily at nowhere and her hands went inside her pocket and took a single.

" I'm not going to give this to you. You might wish that Xander forgives you. But this coin is supposed to have another wish..." Sofia muttered and approached the fountain.

" Even I don't really believe in it, Sofia. What are you going to wish for?" I asked her as she started to make a wish.

" I wish Veronica and Xander encounter the worst in their life. They both can fall off a cliff. Whatever bad things are possible in this world can happen to them." She cursed and thrown it with a force.

" Are you serious? Even I'm not wishing for anything bad, Sofia. But you..."

" You know I have a short-temper. I don't have patience as you have. These little things give me a little satisfaction." She said and pulled me away to the next class.

That day I thought it's a simple powerless wish, but in future ( after 7 years), I know that the dream got fulfilled.

After a week, I was feeling a little better. I absolutely know Xander is never going to be mine. But if this is how it supposed to be, then I need to deal with it. We never talked. When Xander and Veronica made up. I hate to see it in school. It will be much better to deal with it when I'm not seeing them together. But there are in my class. Being happy. Veronica's happy with him after all that she has done to me. Still, now, I never took any step to have revenge on them. Sofia and I are suspecting that Veronica might be seeing other boys when Xander isn't around. Sofia is ready to expose it in public but I'm controlling her to let it go. Sometimes, I feel like Sofia is convincing me to have revenge on her.

Then one day, I was supposed to do a project with Veronica. I can never team up with her.

" You are the last person I wanna see..." I murmured as I took a seat next to her.

" I want to change the partner if possible. We can just finish this damn project and leave as soon as I can."

" Yeah, unless you want me to finish the whole project and get all the credits to yourself. That's what you are capable of doing. Stealing things from others and stabbing them in back." I muttered while searching for answers in the book.

" You are thinking so cheap of me,"

" That's the truth. Who knows? You might be cheating Xander behind his back and make a believable lie."

" Do you even know that? Or do you have any proof? You are only good with words, Madison." Veronica smirked.

" I can get the proof before you could realize it. Don't test me?" I spoke without thinking. I feel like I have given her a clue that I would be bringing all her secrets to light.

" If you capable of doing this, I could do more, Madison," that's what she said, before leaving the class.
