Chapter #5Bitch by: Rita "Ugh, out of every bitch in the world..." Pete heard his sister mutter under her breath at the sight of a familiar looking woman sitting on a bench. Upon closer inspection, Pete recognized the girl as Karen Smith, a girl he only knew from what people told him. He heard that, while she was still in high school, she was the captain of the cheerleading team, the prom queen, and the valedictorian. Apparently, she was also his sister's arch enemy, hearing more than a handful of stories where they were at each other's throats. These incidents usually ended with Emily getting detention, or worse, and Karen getting off scot free. Pete was going to suggest turning around before anything like their old fights happened again, but Karen noticed the two siblings before he could say anything.
"If it isn't Emily Connors," Karen smirked, "I was hoping you would have moved out of town by now."
"Sorry to tell you otherwise," Emily gritted her teeth, "What are you doing here?"
"Oh, I'm sorry. I didn't know that I was banned from the public park," Karen quipped back at Pete's sister, while she rummaged for something in her purse, "If you must know, the dance academy I'm attending is on break right now. Just came back in town to visit my family. Not all of us can be so lucky as to live with them year round,"
"It's..." Emily stuttered, the unexpected jab about still living with her mom hitting hard, "It's not like I asked my mom if I could live with her, she offered!"
"And I think that's very sweet," Karen said condescendingly, while reapplying some makeup, "She must really care about you. Or she just thinks you can't handle it on your own. Either way, such a thoughtful woman."
"Emily," Pete nudged his sister, seeing how upset she was getting, "Maybe we should just go, you're better than this."
"No, wait," Emily deviously smiled, "This bitch is perfect for the spell. Pete, go look her in the eyes,"
"What?" Pete whispered, "Why her? Out of everyone in town, you want your nemesis to fall in love with me? Why?"
"Because it'll be hilarious, that's why." Emily could a see a plan unfolding, "Seeing this perfect princess act like an obsessed girlfriend towards my brother sounds funny. Plus, it's not like she deserves any special treatment. This is something Karen has had coming. Now go talk to her and get her to look you in the eyes."
Seeing how determined his sister was on her new plan, Pete didn't see any way he could argue her out of it. So he slowly made his way over to the notorious woman. as he got closer, he couldn't help but notice how pretty the girl was, even if she was apparently the devil. It's a shame Pete thought as he looked over her legs, She'd be really hot if she wasn't such a bitch,
"Can I help you?" Karen asked Pete, "Did you come over to say something or just to check me out?"
"I..." Pete had to admit Karen had a talent to embarrass people, causing himself in particular to forget what he was going to say. He just blurted out the first thing that came to his mind, "My name Is Pete and I'm Emily's brother,"
"Fascinating," Emily said sarcastically, "I'm kind of busy here, so if you could fuck off, I'd really appreciate it."
"You don't look very busy," Pete responded, trying to match her mean spirit, "Looks more like you're on a bench by yourself. What happened? Maybe you're just not that popular anymore, is that it?"
This seemed to get her attention, as she snapped her touch up mirror shut. Just as she was about to lay into Pete with a barrage of insults, their eyes made direct contact with each other. Karen angry face turned expressionless, as she stared deeply into Pete's eyes. Worried he did something wrong, He looked back athis sister, who was incredibly excited. His sister's big smile being more than enough proof that the spell had actually been activated. Pete couldn't believe it, as he looked back at Karen, seeing her eyes flash a bright shade of green, like his sister before her. Karen then seemed to come out of her trance, looking like she had just woken up. Karen looks up at Pete and... indicates the next chapter needs to be written. |
