Chapter 24

Everyone waited for Skylar's response. Would she believe everything she said and slap Jasper? Or would she deny everything Anastasia said and she will, at last, lose it then call the cops on them?

That option seems like a nice one, she should go to jail along with him for world peace.

Skylar pushed away Anastasia like a gangster and approached Jasper, who was pathetically lying on the floor. She stared at him dead cold until…

Everyone had witnessed a lot of plot twists and was completely used to it right now, but this one was shocking and unexpected. Like a reader witnessing the sudden death of the main character.

Pack! Nobody could believe it, Skylar slapped Jasper! The person who she chased for like crazy! Hallelujah!

"You disgusting son of a bastard! You could've cheated on me instead, but how could you even do this to her?! I know you have no feelings for me and are using me as a hookup ever since I drugged you.

"Then we slept, and I had to force you to be my boyfriend because you took my virginity. I'm pregnant with your child and I knew this would come. But how dare you do this to her?!

"Do you know experiencing something like that is a nightmare to them?! I know you have feelings for her and she rejected you, but you proceeded to take your anger over you and tried to rape her?

"You should've told her to take it as flattery and not done that! You are sick in the head! I seriously regret even looking at you without knowing what a monster you are! So fuck you, I'm calling the cops!"

Dang! You go, gurl! You may be crazy as heck, but dang! That speech! That's what everyone thought.

It shocked them when they heard Skylar had drugged and forced him to be in a relationship since he took her virginity, which is too old-fashioned and stupid, but they could feel how he felt.

It was pure blackmail, but she'd rather have him cheating on her with someone willing to do so rather than him raping someone? Oh my god, this is so sweet, and this is some major character developments everyone is witnessing here!

The cops came in ten minutes, and they didn't allow him to dress up. So everyone in the restaurant had witnessed a nearly naked man handcuffed and escorted by the cops to their car.

Scarlett's classmates followed them to the car and giggled at the back. Oh boy, ain't he embarrassed now? Should have thought before even think about doing it! He deserved it! They followed him. And saw him out till the cops were seen nowhere.

As everyone was giggling and making jokes about him, Scarlett was panicking. What drug was he talking about? Why did he tell that the drug still didn't take effect on her?

Oh no, was it that drug where the person suddenly feels hot and wants to do rated eighteen stuff? Oh fucking god, no! Not that drug!

She pulled Anastasia away from the crowd. "Hey, can we go home now? I just feel tired and scared." I'm traumatized right now but I'm scared that the drug he was talking about will take effect.

"Oh sure, should we take the bus or take a taxi instead?"

"Taxi?"

"Alright." Anastasia took Scarlett's phone and called a taxi from the app that she didn't know how to use, but Anastasia did. According to her, it would always crash when she used it. She knew how to do neurosurgeries but couldn't use an app.

Scarlett was walking back and forth in panic while Skylar was panicking herself. She didn't know if Scarlett would accept her apology or not. No one would.

To be honest, she had bullied so many people along with her sidekicks. (who she didn't keep contact with later and has never heard from)

She called Ailey an attention whore, Manchu a nerd and Michael his worm, and Scarlett a slut who slept with the teachers and even the principal to get good grades.

If people found out, boy, she would be in trouble and jail. She had said such things just because of him. She thought she'd look cool in front of everyone and boy, everyone hated her. And those stupid sidekicks of hers further contributed to her bullying.

Anastasia shouted towards the crowd. "Hey, we're going home in a few! Scarlett's feeling… whatever she's feeling right now."

"Sure."

"Okay."

"Take care!" Everyone kept talking to each other. Some of them had already gone home. Including Ailey, Manchu, and Michael.

A taxi stopped at the sidewalk, and the driver rolled down the window. They asked about something where they wanted to go and Anastasia told them about the place. They nodded and unlocked the car.

Scarlett opened the door and was about to get it when Skylar called out. "Wait!"

"Huh?"

"Scarlett, can we talk?" It flabbergasted everyone. Now what? Is she going to apologize or something? If she's going to do so, she should get a fucking mick, and ask everyone for forgiveness.

There are too many victims of hers and she has said too many mean things to them. They are so mean and destructive that they can lower one's self-esteem and further add damage to their mental illness.

"Alright, okay."

Anastasia suspiciously stared at Skyler. "Are you sure you want to talk to her?"

Scarlett smiled. "It's okay, I'll be fine."

Scarlett and Skylar stayed away from the crowd by a few meters. "Alright speak."

"Look, I'm sorry about how I bullied you and called you a lot of names because you were getting attention from that fucker and nearly everyone. I was jealous and stupid and thought you were faking it. I'm sorry, I seriously didn't know he'd do something like that to you."

"I know."

"If it's okay with you, can we be friends? Ya know, over?" She brought her hand for a handshake, but Scarlett pushed it down.

She licked her lips and spoke. "Look, Skylar, whatever you did right now was just wow. Major character developments there, but we can't be friends. I can forgive you, but that doesn't mean I can just forget what you put me through.

"It was horrible and torturing for me and hiding it then coping with everything telling no one since I had nobody to rely on unlike you was difficult for me. So no we can't be friends."

Her heart sank. She thought they would be friends, but it's okay. "It's okay, I understand. I'm sorry for what I did. I know I was stupid, snobby, and self-absorbed. And I know I look stupid right now."

"Yes, you do. You look so pitiful right now." Skylar whimpered inside, you didn't have to hit me like that.

"By the way,"

"Hmm?"

"What are you going to do with the baby now?"

Skylar's face had a small smile. "I guess I have to raise it by myself. Me and the fucker were going to get married after a few months. But since he's going to be arrested for life, I guess this curse could be a blessing in disguise. I do like babies and I'm good with them."

Scarlett hummed in response. Anastasia yelled from the back. "Uhhhhhh, should I tell the dude that we'll take another taxi and they can go?"

"Oh shit. You better go then."

"Yup, bye."

"Bye." Skylar's chest didn't feel so heavy anymore. It was heavy, but one burden was gone. Thirty more left to ask for forgiveness.

On the ride home, Scarlett was looking outside and suddenly she remembered she got drugged and it still didn't take effect on her. Oh boy.

What if it takes effect on her at the wrong time? What if she embarrasses herself? What if it kills her if she doesn't do the rated eighteen stuff? Her mind came up with a million what-ifs and it created even more.

The taxi stopped near the building, Anastasia thanked them and paid the amount. Before they were about to get off, she tipped them off. The driver left mumbling something about humble people.

Anastasia flashed the keycard open the door then the lift. She pressed which floor the penthouse was in and the lift started moving upwards.

She worriedly glanced at Scarlett. She was quiet the entire ride home. Obviously, she will, she has probably been traumatized right now. If those bitches didn't come, she would've snapped his neck.

Then she could've thrown him to her best friend, erased everyone's memories of that day, and that bully must've been thinking he ran away. Oh boy, wouldn't that be great? She smirked at the thought.
