Seriously? Is this her following through with her promise of tormenting me for not staying away from Aiden?
Please, bitch. You’re going to have to try harder than that.
Turns out, she did try harder than that; a little too hard if you ask me.
After having to park a good five-minute walk from the front door, I meet Charlotte at her locker and tell her what happened with Kaitlyn as we head over to my locker together.
Charlotte scoffs, “She loves that car. I swear, she treats it better than she treats people. Ever since her dad bought her that Porsche, she drives around like she owns this town.”
There’s a huge crowd of students in the hall where my locker is, all gawking at something.
“What’s going on?” Charlotte asks as we shove our way through the sea of students. She gasps. Tampons—taped by their strings—hang down, covering the front of my floor-to-ceiling locker. There are so many of them that the metal of my locker isn’t even visible. Some are still in the little plastic applicator, but the majority are bare, a lot are red with—
“Is that blood?” Charlotte breathes, looking a little sick.
“That’s disgusting. That better be paint,” I reply.
On the wall directly above my locker is a sign that reads: Amelia Collins’s Tampon Drive, with an arrow pointing down.
“Who would do—Kaitlyn?” Charlotte suspects.
“That’d be my first guess.”
As if just saying her name summons her, Kaitlyn appears from the crowd, the rest of her friends right behind her. People move back a little to give us some more room.
Kaitlyn gives me a triumphant smirk. “What do you think of our generosity, Amelia?”
I’m stunned. She didn’t even bother denying the fact that she orchestrated this whole thing. She just got here, so she must have gotten her friends to come early and do it. She’s proud of it. She wants everyone to know what she’s capable of, and publicly humiliating me is her proof.
“Your generosity?” I’m bewildered.
“After yesterday, we realized just how many tampons you need. So, being the kindhearted people we are, we decided to help you out.” She turns to the crowd of students and announces, “Students of King City High! Let’s show that there’s no limit to our generosity! If you have a tampon, step forward and contribute to our tampon drive for Amelia Collins. It doesn’t even need to be new!”
I might throw up. Before anyone can react, a loud, furious voice booms from the crowd, “If anyone even thinks about doing that, I’ll beat you so hard the doctor who delivered you will feel it!”
The startled crowd parts for the source of the voice, and Aiden steps toward me, looking ferocious. His deadly gray eyes meet my slightly traumatized hazel ones, and they seem to darken even more. Noah and Mason step from the crowd, both looking hostile as they scan the scene before them.
Aiden turns his murderous gaze to the crowd. “Get to class, now!”
Everyone scatters like someone detonated a bomb, and soon me, Aiden, Charlotte, Mason, Noah, and Kaitlyn and her friends are the only ones in the hall.
Kaitlyn pouts. “Aiden! Way to ruin the fun.”
“You have a problem, Kaitlyn.” Mason stands beside me and wraps an arm around my waist, hauling me close to show his support.
“I did warn you,” Kaitlyn asserts, looking at her nails like this is just any other day and she didn’t just humiliate me in front of the entire school. “I guess this warning extends to you now, too, Charlotte.”
Noah steps in front of Charlotte, as if he can protect her from Kaitlyn’s venomous gaze.
“I can’t believe you went to all this effort just to make a point,” I hiss.
“I take a stand for what I believe in. Plus, I promised I’d make your life a living hell, and I’m good at doi
ng that. I never back down from my word.”
“Well, I’m even better at keeping mine.” Aiden steps in front of me and Mason, power and dominance radiating from him. “Go near Amelia or Charlotte again, and you’ll have me to deal with. And you definitely won’t enjoy that, I promise you.”
Something in Aiden’s threatening tone must register with Kaitlyn and her girls because their eyes widen. I guess his ruthless reputation filled in the unsaid threats, and Kaitlyn’s girls start leaving. Kaitlyn gives me one last hate-filled glare before turning with Makayla and heading out of sight.
