Chapter 20

Scarlett was just scrolling through Tumblr. A few hours ago, she and Avery had gone to the hospital to remove her casts. The bones and ligaments should've been healed by now.

The doctor had sawed off the casts in half an hour. While removing it, she told Scarlett to soak her skin in water for twenty minutes twice a day for the first few days. Later she should rub on it dry with a towel gently.

She should apply some lotion to those parts to keep them soft and to stop the itching. She should also start focusing on doing slight movements so that her arms and foot would get used to walking and doing other stuff later.

When the casts were removed, an unpleasant smell hit her. Her arm looked parched, paler than usual, and her foot looked flaky. There was thicker and darker hair on those parts. Ugh! She's disgusted.

A notification came on her screen, she clicked on it to leave it on read later. An unknown number had messaged her. The message said:

--------

From: Unknown number at 3:40 pm

To: Scarlett

Heyyyyyyyy~! It's me, Ailey! Ya know your classmate from highschool? Anyway, we are having a get-together in the same city as you live in this Saturday. Ya know, for seeing how's everyone's doing. Please don't say no! Everyone is coming! Even Michael!

From: Unknown number at 3:41 pm

To: Scarlett

By the way, I heard from a friend that he and the Asian guy got married a few months ago. Also, I got your number from the homeroom teacher. Don't worry, I didn't stalk you! I have sent the details to your Gmail account. See you this Saturday!

-------

Ailey Atlas James, oh Scarlett remembered her well. Both of them were in the same homeroom, and Ailey was the class leader. She didn't hate her, but she was annoying. The most annoying girl on earth and everyone didn't like her.

Her accent was too fake, her voice was too high pitched, to be honest, and her face looked like she was an arrogant rich girl and she'll slap an innocent girl just like that.

Good thing she didn't have some obsessive sidekicks and underlings or Scarlett would have slapped her across the face just like that!

A voice popped out of nowhere. "Hey, why do you look so angry?"

"Gah!" Scarlett jumped and breathed out in relief when she saw it was just Anastasia. "You gotta stop doing that! I'm going to get a heart attack due to you one day!"

"Meh, what were you doing before?"

Scarlett rolled her eyes and showed Anastasia the messages from Ailey. "A stupid party or a get-together invite from an annoying girl."

"Hmm, is she a mean girl?"

"No, she's just annoying to me, to everyone actually. If you see her face or hear her voice, you'll feel like slapping her across the face and the urge to do so is too high."

Anastasia hummed. "Can relate."

Both of them nodded in agreement. A few seconds later Anastasia asked. "Are you going to it though?"

Scarlett pursued her lips and thought. "I don't know, Michael is coming there. And this girl said Manchu, and he got married a few months ago."

"I've noticed. Wait, what? They got married? And they didn't tell you?!"

"Gurl please, I was in a coma for an entire month. How would i attend the wedding? Also, even if I wake up, how can I go there in casts and a hospital gown? Also, you're coming with me to the get-together! It's decided!"

And she limped outside the room, leaving Anastasia confused. "Eh? Why me?"

"Because! Avery is going out that day, the weird couple are going to have a date, and you got nothing to do! So you're coming with me! End of discussion!"

"Damn girl, I get it. No need, to yell at me." Anastasia mumbled, annoyed.

Saturday was coming in fast, and Scarlett hated it. She was going at last to meet all of her high school classmates who are annoying as hell.

Her homeroom was the stereotypical high school drama homerooms. There's a prince charming, the prince charming's a stupid yet handsome only friend, the narcissistic, clingy, bully girl who had declared prince charming as hers, and the one guy trying to get her attention.

Guess who's the annoying Mary Sue? Ding ding ding! It's Scarlett! Ugh, she hated her role!

Ailey wasn't the narcissistic girl, it was Skylar Bates, who she never talked to at all. She always had a problem with her and tried to cause trouble with her, at least the teachers weren't that stupid as in high school dramas.

Prince charming was Jasper Channing. Whoever the heck he was. He always talked to her, asked her questions, even once asked her out and even her number! She rejected him and he accepted it. They continued being whatever they were.

Skylar Bates always told her he was 'hers' and she should 'back off' before she does something to her. Dang girl, you can sign the property papers right now! He's all yours to keep! He smells like ketchup anyway!

But you could always notice Skylar actually made Jasper uncomfortable. He was a genuinely nice guy and was very polite to everyone. Skylar drained everyone's energy, and it showed.

Skylar always went too far and once the principal and the parents were called because Jasper complained about her to his friends. Oh well, at least his friends got his back and noticed how he felt about her!

They left Skylar with a warning, but she still kept causing trouble with Scarlett. And you should never mess with Scarlett. She may be quiet, but she had a mouth filled with sarcasm and it could destroy you.

That day was so satisfying, and Skylar didn't come to school for an entire month because of the humiliation. When she at last showed her face at school, she threw dirty looks at Scarlett along with the sidekicks.

But that was years before. What if she tried to cause trouble with her over there? Will Jasper try to talk to her again?

But good thing Anastasia was coming with her! Not because of flexing that she's got a rich and famous friend, but because of another reason.

Scarlett herself earns more than those little shits and is famous because of the accident. What does she need to flex in front of them broke asses? Her salary would hurt them right in the gut. And they called her a nerd. Look who's earning more, bitch!

Scarlett: *sassy hair flip when she finishes reading this*

Anastasia: *shakes head*

The actual reason was Anastasia could give you one look when she's pissed, and you'd be wetting your pants. She was that scary when mad.

Scarlett, when mad, looked cute when she glared. People told her she looked like an angry puppy when she glared and never took her seriously.

Was she taking Anastasia as a tall bodyguard? You figured it out, genius. That way, prince charming and miss bully can fuck off!

Also, why didn't that giant dumbass tell her he got married to the love of his life?! They had been friends for a long time and chatted with each other nearly every day! Well, they at least sent each other a good night's text to each other!

And that Manchu! He also didn't tell her! When she sees those two, she's going to kill them! Hope, Anastasia would stop her from doing so!
