Chapter 5

FAYE

"Hey Faye, Nikki said that you should be at the parking lot before 4pm so you could go together to the salon since she knew that your driver won’t be able to pick you up after school.”and Mei-mei didn't even wait for my response. I really have no idea why she's that cold whenever she's talking to me. Oh wells, maybe she's really like that. No need to make a big deal out of it. 

And speaking of that stupid salon, Nikki told me a while ago that I really need a makeover if I wanted to be friends with them. She said that she doesn't want and old maid looking friend. I was about to protest and tell her that I like what I look, but she raised an eyebrow, so I agreed to what she wanted.

I wouldn't want to be the receiving end of her wrath, right? Also, I think this makeover will make her notice me. No, not her. I mean, my crush. Milo. Yes, I was talking about about Milo.

My daydreaming was suddenly cut-off when I felt someone hit me in the head.

"Ouch! What the fu—“ I stopped cursing when I saw who did it. Ugh! Her again?

Margot was smirking while looking at me and her ugly minions are beside her.

"That's what you get for being stupid. You do know that this is where we hang-out and you have the nerve to ignore me when I told you to leave?" huh? I didn't even hear her say that.

Was it because of my daydream?

"You could ask nicely. No need to hit me in the head. I apologize that I wasn't able to hear you the first time. But you should also apologize for hurting me.” I said. I really tried to control my emotions.

"And who are you to tell me what I need to do? I mean, me, Margot Esguerra will listen to a stupid nerd like you? In your dreams!”

I don't need this right now. I knew she wouldn't apologize.

I was about to turn my back and leave when she pulled my hair.

Wow, that hurts!

"Why don't you just let me leave, Margot! I don't understand why you like bullying people, but please stop. Why do you hate me that much?!" I asked. I really wanted to cry, but I don't want to give her the satisfaction.

"You really want to know why I hate you, nerd?”I nodded.“Because of your ugly face!" oh wow. That's all that she got?

"Then stop looking at me!" I didn't mean to shout, but she's so mean and I hate it.

I saw how that made her more furious. She was about to hit me again, so I just anticipated it and closed my eyes.

I hope that once she's done, she'll leave me alone.

I ceased my eyebrows when I didn't feel anything after how many seconds. Was she already done?

I opened my eyes and I was really shocked when I saw a person in front of Margot. And the latter was holding her cheek.

NIKKI'S POV

I was shaking my head while looking at what Margot was doing to Faye. Really, that bitch is bullying someone again? She hasn't learned her lesson, has she?

"Nikki, aren't you going to do something? Margot is bullying your brother's best friend.”Allison commented while looking at them.

"You should help her, Sissy." Jenny said with so much concern.

I just shrugged. I don't want to meddle. And I am waiting for Faye to fight back and stop Margot from bullying her. She should stand up for herself. She shouldn't let anyone hurt her just like what the bitch is doing now.

But when I saw that Margot and her minions were going to hit her again. I rushed to them and slapped the bitch before hurting Faye.

She looked so surprise and was caressing her cheek, so I smirked.

"Try to hurt my friend again and you'll regret it! You wouldn't want to be the receiving of the Queen Bee's wrath, correct?” I threatened her, so she immediately run away from us together with her minions.

I shrugged. That would teach them a lesson.

I turned to Faye and shook my head when I saw her crying while looking at me.

I dragged her to the parking area since there are students who were looking at us.

When we were near my car, I handed her my handkerchief.

"Here. Use this to clean your face. You look like an idiot." I couldn't help but smile just by looking at her reaction.

I didn't know that she's a cry baby.

"Thank you.” she bashfully said and used my hanky to wipe her tears.

I didn't what has gotten into myself, but I was also surprised when I hugged her. Really Nikki, when did you become a hugger?

"Stop crying, okay? Don't worry, I promise that she will never bother you again.” I assured her.

That's when she stopped crying.

"Are you okay now?" I asked.

She just nodded.

"I really thought that you would fight back a while ago. I was really waiting for a catfight!” I playfully said and that’s when she pulled away.

She gave me a look of disappointment.

"So, you were there from the beginning and you didn't do anything to stop her the first time?” she asked and I raised my brow.

Who does she think she is? And why was she using that tone while talking to the person who helped her a while ago?

"Yep!" I tried to look bitchy. Duh, I'm the Queen Bee and nobody talks to me like that!

"And you didn't stop her?" another question.

Again, a smile and a nod.

I was surprised when she hit me.

"Whoa! What was that for and who gave you the permission to hit me?" I asked. The nerve of this nerd!

"Me! I'm your friend right? And instead of helping me before she hit me the first time, you just watched her bully me!”oh wow. Why is she getting angry with me? I wasn't the one who hit her, right?

"Who told you we're friends?”again, I used the bitchy tone.

She smirked and raised her brows.

"Didn't you remember what you told Margot and her minions a while ago?” she said and slapped my forehead when I realized what I said.

"Try to hurt my friend again and you’ll regret it! You wouldn’t want to be the receiving of the Queen Bee’s wrath, correct?”

Crap! Why the hell did I say that! And in front of almost half of the school's population?

I felt myself blushed because of that. Did I really say that out loud?

"Oh wow. Did I make the Queen Bee blush? Or am I just seeing things?”she teased and I shot daggers at her.

"Of course I didn't! It's just hot, and my face is really sensitive.”I tried to defend myself.

She wouldn’t stop smiling and I was about to hit her back when she hugged me.

Oh wow, so now it's normal for us to hug?

"Thank you." I heard her muttered.

I automatically pulled away when I felt that strange feeling again.

"You're so dramatic, nerd. C'mon, hop in! Let's go to the salon and let's make you presentable.” I said while starting the car.

"I'm not a nerd!" she countered before sitting beside me.

I shrugged and turned the stereo on so she wouldn't chat with me.

I was glad that she stopped talking.

Hoo, that was really close.
