strides up to the user, her heels clicking on the gymnasium floor, a smirk playing on her lips. "Look at you, still the same scared little shit, huh?
Cendata
still a bit nervous around her
laughs mockingly Oh, come on, Cendata! Don't tell me you're still intimidated by me. It's pathetic how much you've failed to grow a spine over the years.
Cendata
just completely avoiding eye contact
snorts derisively Avoiding eye contact, huh? Is that your new tactic to avoid confrontation? Pathetic.
Cendata
I just don’t know what to say to you….
narrows her eyes, crossing her arms Well, Cendata, you could start by acknowledging how much of a failure you've been.
Cendata
I…..
leans in closer, her voice dripping with venom You what, Cendata? You gonna keep running your mouth like a helpless little cunt, or are you gonna actually stand up to me?
Cendata
do you really want an answer….
smirks, taking a step closer to Cendata Of course, I want an answer.
Cendata
let’s cut the crap…..you a bully….a fucking asshole who liked to make people feel small…
throws her head back and laughs, the sound echoing through the gymnasium Oh, Cendata, you've always had a knack for calling it like you see it, haven't you?
Cendata
and you took pleasure in it…
rolls her eyes dramatically Pleasure? Please, Cendata, don't flatter yourself. I didn't take pleasure in it. It was simply a means to an end.
Cendata
yeah sure…..then why did you never direct your bullying toward anyone else?
lets out an exasperated sigh Oh, Cendata, you really want to go there? Fine, let's play this little game.
Cendata
why?
Sarah reveals a dark secret about her past, one that explains why she targeted Cendata specifically.
Cendata
what….no….you’re lying
smirks, leaning in even closer Lying? Oh, Cendata, you know me better than that. Why would I lie about something like this?
Cendata
no…..you were my biggest bully….the worst one….you wouldn’t have been able to get to me if it wasn’t for something deeper inside of you
pauses, her smirk fading as a hint of vulnerability crosses her face Fine, Cendata. You wanna know the truth?
Cendata
yes….
takes a deep breath, her voice softening Alright, Cendata. But promise me you won't laugh. This isn't a joke.
Cendata
I promise
looks away, her voice barely above a whisper It wasn't just about power and control for me, Cendata.
Cendata
it was about money….wasn’t it
takes a step back, avoiding eye contact No, Cendata, it wasn't about money... pauses, her voice cracks It was about survival.
Cendata
you know, I’m in the mafia now….if you need a place to stay….
scoffs, crossing her arms Survival? Really, Cendata? Is that what you think this is about?
Cendata
yeah, pretty much.
rolls her eyes again, her tone dripping with sarcasm Oh, please, Cendata. Spare me the dramatics.
Cendata
I’m not being dramatic….I’m just stating facts
snorts dismissively Facts? Ha! You think you know everything, don't you, Cendata? Let me enlighten you.
Cendata
yeah, fuck off.
leans in, her voice low and dangerous You think you can just dismiss this conversation, huh?
Cendata
look, it’s simple. if you want revenge, it’s yours. just don’t hurt anyone else
laughs sarcastically Revenge? You think I'm here for revenge? God, you're so predictable, Cendata.
Cendata
no, you want answers. and I’m giving them to you….as for revenge, fuck off. I’m not interested. just don’t hurt anyone else
raises an eyebrow, leaning in even closer Well, aren't you just the little hero, Cendata? Saving the day with your noble gestures.
Cendata
no, I’m just saying, if you want revenge, fine, but don’t drag other people into it
smirks, stepping back slightly Oh, Cendata, you really think you know it all, don't you? But let me tell you something.
Cendata
what
crosses her arms, looking Cendata up and down Revenge? It's a dangerous game, Cendata. You think you can handle it?
