Loneliness. It's the word that bounded me. The flood of feelings that conspired me to step out of the entry of my birdcage and had me thinking that I was no less than an unfortunate girl just like the others.

I retorted, narrowing my eyes at her."But I'm hungry," she complained with a pout on her lips."Your fucking problem, not mine," I muttered, putting the silver key into the hole and unlocked the door of my art studio.Entering inside the room, I welcomed the familiar smell of paints and the sight of walls covered with artworks I had made so far. My white converse shoes made a squeaky noise against the wooden floor as ceiling lights automatically turned on, recognizing our arrival.As being one of the investor of this school, they gave me this private space at the fifth floor of our school administrative building, which I had furnished as my own art studio. Most of the time, I would spend painting on a blank canvas after school or during days I'm in the mood to create the vision revolving inside my head. It was no secret that I loved art so much.

*trigger warning*"Oh c'mon, don't be such a clamjam!" Khloe teased loudly, causing Xander and Alec to holler along with the heavy metal music. I cringed when Xander banged his Mohawk head like a lunatic as he clenched his fist up, singing along with the incoherent lyrics.Listening to them made my head spin."Why am I here with all of you, crazy?!" I tried to pull out the aux cord but Khloe stopped me by restraining my arms and she was giving me a warning glare through the front side mirror of Alec's truck. She broke contact once her boy toy ushered her closer to his body and kissed her on the cheek.I rolled my eyes, irritated. I heard them laughing at the back of the car while Alec sang so loudly and out of tune. He better keeps his eyes on the road or else our plan would backfire.Getting tired of their animalistic behavior, I pulled out the cord, immediately killing the music and their wild antics. "That freak might wake up if you guys don't stop this!"All of them chuckled."C

"Is this enough?" Khloe asked to Tiana as she gestured her hand out to Timothy. The bastard was knocked out inside an open-rusted container truck. He was blinded with a fabric on his eyes, topless and with a wood ply lynched around his neck. It was labeled 'I am a sinner.'"I already sent the photos to the school community," Maggie mused as she pointed to the dummy phone she was holding."And it's not a really good sight," James added with a smirk on his face."Tomorrow is going to be eventful," Alec commented, shaking his head.I sighed, already worn out from this whole prank. I glanced at Tiana and I knew that she was thinking that this wasn't enough. However, she made a promise to Bailey that she wouldn't do anything to lead her in a dangerous situation. Zoey pointed that out once she realized that her best friend didn't want to stop beating Timothy. It was the first time I'd seen her like that. To be honest. Girls are wild when they needed to be."Time to go home," Xander urged, a

I woke up as my alarm went off at seven in the morning. Rolling on my bed, I blindly took my phone from the bedside table and killed off the sound. Honestly, I had no energy to stand up because I wanted to stay on my bed and sleep until I had enough. Khloe drove me home at four because I didn't want my parents to know I was not in my room for the entire night and I was at Khloe tree house, hoping for sex.And I had school so without any choice, I pushed myself up and headed to the bathroom to do my morning routine. I had no time to ponder about my outfit today or even choose which lipstick color I would put on my lips.

"DARE!!!" Chad repeated our answers, causing the partygoers to celebrate. I think all the people in this party were already here to witness the war between Khloe and I.
