Chapter 2

Noel’s POV

Cheryl Jones. I’d describe her, but I’ll need more advanced wording for the bane of my existence because that’s who she is.

A stuck up vindictive redhead.

Ever since what happened in freshman year, she’d become the goddess of spite and I’d be damned to rule for her mercy.

“Is she coming?” I questioned when Dan arrived in our midst.

“She’s now invited, but I doubt she’ll show up since you aren’t hosting,” Dan responded as he went to take his spot beside Finn.

We’re five in number and we’re all best buddies. We’ve been like that for as long as I can remember.

Jace was the last to join us, and that’s because he didn’t show up until the first year of middle school.

“What’s your plan for her now?” Nick quizzed with curiosity that had others peaking their gazes at me.

“Get her high and naked? That’d be so fun and the ultimate comeback!” Finn added, his idea as outrageous as his entire personality.

“You guys have been at it for so long now. I’m starting to think you both are in love,” Jace stated with a shrug, nonchalant as usual.

“Kill that thought,” I cautioned, not minding the sudden switch in my tone at him. Love, me and Cheryl Jones should never be in one sentence. That was a trigger, a deadly one!

I hate that bitch. I hate her so much. She’s nothing but a freak, and I’ll trade my last breath for a nail in her heart.

All I did was have some fun and she refused to let it go.

“I doubt. But they’re about to become siblings-“

“Step-siblings.” I intercepted Dan. The thought of it irking me. “But that’s honestly perfect, gives me the perfect opportunity to make her life more miserable.” I grinned, not at my words but the image of me giving her hell.  

“She’s going to graduate high school without a boyfriend or a love story. That’s literally the biggest misery in my opinion,” Finn chipped in, a dramatic sigh at the end of his statement.

Yes, no boys were allowed to ask Cheryl Jones out unless they wanted to be on my bad side. It’s a rule, a general rule that only Cheryl doesn’t know about.

That’s why the kid who handed her an envelope nearly broke his bones if the principal hadn’t stepped in on time.

“She’s about to have the biggest misery of her life tonight at Jenna’s party. She’s going to wish she never picked me as an enemy. It’s high time she’s tamed.” I smirked.

She just has to be there, and the plan will play out by itself.

“Who are you going to the party with?” Dan grilled with suspicion. As if he could tell my plan wasn’t as ordinary as I made it seem.

“That will be a surprise for you all, my buds,” I let out a throaty chuckle.

Oh Cheryl. You thought you had your worst night in freshman year. It’s about time you have a new one.

“Does Jenna know she’s not your date? She’s planning the whole thing for you to bring a different girl to? Yikes…” Dan bulged his eyes.

“Who would you guys be going with? Nick, don’t tell me you’re still involved with that peppermint sub because I swear to you right now that if you are….”

“Calm your flat tits bro, she’s off. I can have fun tonight!” Nick waved at me dismissively.

Her name wasn’t peppermint sub, it's Sophia and ever since she started going out with Nick, she thinks she’s suddenly privileged enough to lecture me on how I run things against Cheryl.

“I’m gonna be crazy as usual. Go alone so I can mess with people’s dates.” Finn said before he broke off into one of his maniacal laughters.

Crazy is an understatement for the kind person he is. He’s batshit crazy and honestly a step away from a mental institute.

Nick is the cool and friendly one, he’s friends with almost everybody and the most approachable one of us.

Jace however, is the complete opposite. He’s neither mean nor grumpy, he’s just always indifferent and doesn’t bother to hide it.

And Dan. Dan is Dan.

I love them all, they’ve been my brothers since I knew them and would be my brothers for life.

“Okay guys, I have to leave,” I told them as I stood up. “Matthew gave me detention so I better skip school before he makes me wait for it,” I added.

“So you seriously won’t tell us your plan for Cheryl? Even if it’s just a hint? Or you’d rather my cause of death be curiosity?” Finn stared at me with a bored look.

“I kinda agree with Finn. I’m curious, what exactly have you planned to do to her tonight?” Dan aided the point.

“I’m not curious or could use a hint. I’m just very sure the plan is going to blow the rest of the school year up,” Jace shrugged, and he was right.

Tonight’s party isn’t just going to be a normal kickback party. It’s Cheryl’s doom. The celebration of her defeat.

“Jace is right. And here is a hint for you all, I’m going to destroy Cheryl permanently tonight, break her into tiny little pieces and leave her traumatized for life. She should consider it my welcome gift for her becoming a part of my household,” I addressed, a sick smile stuck to my lips as I grabbed my school bag.

“I’m out.” I strolled off their midst.

I took out my phone to check in with my messages. I’ve been updated, and it was just a text that everything was all set and ready for tonight.

Perfect.

There’s just one more thing needed for me to get done. And that is to ask my date out to this party tonight.

Fortunately for me, she didn't have the same class with a certain freak until the next period so I was safe enough to corner her as the bell rang for the end of the class.

She whimpered at the sight of me, ready to bury herself to the ground.

“You owe me and it’s time to call in my favor. You’re going to be my date for a party tonight at Jenna’s lake house, say anything of this conversation to Cheryl and you know I’ll make you regret it. Understood?” I raised my brows at her.

She nodded like her head was on fire.

“Good,” I mouthed before walking away from her.
