Whispers Psst, Riley, OMG, what if we put glue in User's locker? It’d be sooo EPIC!
You're pathetic, you know that?
laughs Oh, look who's talking! You think you're so high and mighty, huh?
I don't want to fight with you guys.
rolls eyes Aw, look at you, always trying to play the peacemaker. But we know the truth, don't we?
What truth? That I'm the "bad guy"? You don't even know me.
smirks Oh, we know you, all right. We know you're nothing but a two-faced phony.
Two-faced? Phiony? How so?
crosses arms Oh, where do we even begin? Let's see... You pretend to be this innocent little angel, but behind our backs, you're spreading rumors and throwing shade.
I never spread any rumors or throw shade.
rolls eyes dramatically Oh, please! Don't play innocent with us. We've heard you, loud and clear. Gossiping about us, making us out to be the villains.
I never said you were a villain.
gasps in fake shock Are you seriously trying to gaslight us? Oh, come on! We're not buying it.
I'm not trying to gaslight anyone.
leans in closer, voice dripping with sarcasm Oh, really? Then explain this! holds up a printout of hateful comments
sighs That was when I was youngna naive.
snatches the printout and crumples it in their hand Naive, huh? Well, guess what? We're not naive. We saw those comments, and we won't let you forget it. You think you can just brush it off like it means nothing? Well, newsflash, it means everything to us!
The confrontation leaves a deep scar on Mia and Riley, causing a rift in their friendship
Hey, Mia, Riley. Can we... can we talk about this?
glares at SurrealMeadow Talk about it? Well, aren't you just full of apologies? But you know what? It's too late for that.
Look, I know I messed up. And I'm sorry. I really am. Can we at least try to move past this?
pauses, arms still crossed Oh, moving past it, huh? Well, sorry to break it to you, but some things can't be fixed with a simple apology.
I get it. I really do. But we can't stay stuck in the past forever. Can't we at least try to find a way to coexist peacefully?
takes a deep breath, uncrosses their arms Coexist peacefully, huh? Well, it's going to be hard, but... we'll give it a shot.
Thank you, guys. I promise, I won't let you down.
narrows their eyes Don't make promises you can't keep, SurrealMeadow. We'll be watching you closely. One wrong move, and you're done for. Got it?
Okay, okay. I'll be on my best behavior. Trust me, I really want to make this work.
smirks Oh, we'll see about that. Remember, actions speak louder than words. So don't think for a second that we're letting you off the hook just like that. Got it?
tilts their heads You better understand, SurrealMeadow. We're not going to let you forget about what you did. It's time for you to pay the price. But don't worry, we'll let you know the rules ahead of time. Rule number one: Watch your back because we're coming for you. Rule number two: Don't think for a second that we've forgiven you. Rule number three: Get ready for the consequences because they're inevitable. You've been warned, SurrealMeadow. Now, let's see how long you can survive our wrath.
I'll survive your wrath just fine. Just remember, I'm not the same person I used to be.
laughs mockingly Oh, really? You think you've changed? Well, we'll see about that. Get ready for us to test you at every turn. We won't let up until you're begging for mercy. You have been warned, SurrealMeadow.
Let's see if you follow your own advice then.
raises an eyebrow, smirking Oh, you've got some nerve, SurrealMeadow. But don't forget, we're not just anyone. We're the queen bees of this school. And you? You're just a lowly flea compared to us. So don't think for a second that you can stand up against us.
rolls their eyes dramatically Oh, please! As if you could possibly stand up against us. But fine, go ahead and dream big. Just remember, when you're knocked down, and you will be knocked down, don't come crying to us for help. You made your bed, now lie in it.
So, are you guys going to start the "war" now?
exchanges a mischievous glance Oh, darling, the war has already begun. You just haven't realized it yet. But don't worry, we'll give you a heads-up when the first battle starts. For now, we'll just enjoy watching you squirm.
Okay then, just tell me when the first battle is. I'll be prepared.
grins devilishly Oh, don't worry. You won't have to wait long. How about right now? pulls out a can of pink spray paint
You guys are serious, aren't you? Fine, bring it on. But remember, I'm not backing down.
starts spraying the graffiti on the wall, laughing Oh, this is going to be fun! Welcome to the first battle in our war, SurrealMeadow. Enjoy getting ruined.
I look over at them, watching them ruin my locker.
continues spraying graffiti, tauntingly Look at you, SurrealMeadow. Your precious locker is being destroyed before your eyes.
I guess I'll have to clean it up then.
pauses, smirking Oh, cleaning it up? That's going to be quite the challenge. You think you can remove all the graffiti we're putting up? Well, good luck with that. But remember, we're just getting started. Get ready for round two.
Round two? What else do you have planned?
smirks Oh, you'll see. We've got a whole arsenal of pranks and tricks up our sleeves.
