WHAT GOES AROUND COMES AROUND

Bethany turned the steering wheel and slowly drew her car to a stop as she parked in the school's parking lot. She took in a deep breath of air and let it out. Ever since the battle with Darka's minions, Life in general had relatively gone back to normal. People had reopened their various businesses and even though the portal had been destroyed many people still worried that Darka may launch another attack. But since the incident, an organization who claimed that they were working with the government had opened up in town and had been keeping a close eye on all supernatural activity in Silkfall. Bethany didn't trust them but Cole assured her that they had presented all the legal proof they needed to carry on with their operations. They had built a fence around the cottage in the woods which now lay in ruins with several workers constantly keeping an eye on the area. Not only that, they also carried out regular tests on her, Drake, Molly, Patricia and Shannon trying to figure out how their powers worked scientifically and what effects that the other world would have had on Molly and Patricia. The same organization had informed them that the government urged them to stay quiet and not share details of what had happened with any outsider. This was something that the people did with ease as they doubted anyone would believe them without proof and the organization otherwise known as (I) held all proof related to the incident. Either way, people decided to move on with their lives and ignore the weird activities of (I) and as a result, even the schools were reopened.

Tap! Tap!

Bethany moaned inwardly. There was only one person who would knock on her window at this time of the morning. She let the screen slide down and snapped. "Go away asshole!"

Joey gave her a smile that he probably thought was sexy but she just found very annoying. "What's up babe?" He winked causing her face to scrunch up in disgust. Ever since the incident word had gotten around town about the three super powered kids (Shannon, Drake and herself) who had saved the town from near distraction. They had become local celebrities with the townspeople always doing them favors in order to thank them for saving the town and their peers at school adoring them for their cool powers. Because people were constantly trying to attach themselves to them the three of them usually stuck together and avoided everyone else unknowingly forming a friend group that everyone else envied. They held them high on a pedestal as though they were gods and obliviously became the most popular kids in school. After her rise to the top of the school's social hierarchy, Joey had been chasing her around shamelessly flirting with her and trying to get back into a relationship with her even though he was still in a relationship with Paige.

Bethany wind her window and climbed out of her car. "I'm not your babe Joey. Paige is."

She slammed the car door shut and the car beeped twice as she pressed the lock button on its remote. Then pulling her expensive designer shoulder bag further up her arm she began strutting towards the school's front steps. Joey rushed over to her.

"Come on Bethany don't be like that. I said I was sorry." Said Joey jogging alongside her. She rolled her eyes. "And I said I forgive you." She replied lacking the patience for that conversation. "Then why won't you get back into a relationship with me?" Joey pressed on. Bethany froze and whipped around to face him with a scoff of unbelief. "Are you kidding me Joey?! How do you even have the guts to say that?"

"Get lost Joey and stop chasing Bethany."

Patricia approached the pair with Drake walking by her side hands in pocket. Both looked like they were equally as annoyed with Joey's presence as Bethany was. "The fact that you think that she'll want to date you after what you did to her and that you're pursuing her in public is disgusting," said Patricia as she continued. "She's never going to accept you so just give up and get lost."

Joey looked enraged and he began stomping towards her threateningly. "What did you just say to me reject?"

Drake stepped between the two of them his face colder than ever. "I'd be careful what I said or did in this hallway if I were you Joey. Or else you want to get a firsthand experience of what it would feel like being left stranded on the moon."

Joey could tell from Drake's tone that he meant it and he didn't want to risk making Drake any angrier than he already was. Even though he was scared, he tries to mask it with a scoff before storming off angrily. Patricia shook her head at how pathetic the boy was before turning to Bethany with concern. "You okay?"

Bethany sighed and nodded with a smile. "Yeah I'm cool. I've fought off literal monsters, my psycho ex doesn't scare me. I have to go to the bathroom so I'll see you two later."

"Sure." Smiled Drake in reply and Bethany immediately rushed to the female toilets. She chose one of the mirrors closest to the door to use while reapplying some or her make-up. As she applied some lip gloss Paige walked in. For a moment Paige paused watching her for a few minutes her face practically radiating envy before proceeding to use the mirror next to hers. Unlike her boyfriend, Paige was immensely jealous about Bethany's recent rise in popularity. She hated the fact that everyone adored Bethany, the fact that Bethany got to eat at Bill's burgers for free, the fact that she got information that no one else in town got to know, the fact that she had powers and had a special clique of friends that she couldn't even dream of being a part of. All of this drove her insane and she hated it.

"You know it's funny that even with all the love and all the popularity that some people get, they are still greedy enough to chase after other people's boyfriends." Paige voiced loudly. Even though she hadn't specified, Bethany knew that this statement was directed at her. She laughed softly to herself, amused by Paige's stupidity and replied while washing her hands. "And I'm surprised that some people think that someone who is willing to cheat on someone else with them, won't cheat on them with someone else when they get in a relationship. Especially since some people's boyfriend is not only hitting on his ex but sleeping with six other girls in this school alone." Bethany strolled casually towards the serviette dispenser and snatched a serviette to wipe her hands with. "Sometimes they're in the dark parts of the library making out, sometimes it's the stairs and other times it's the janitor's closet. Then some people think they're in a real relationship..."

Bethany threw the used serviette in the trash and sneered at Paige. "..What a joke."

With that she strutted out of the bathroom leaving Paige completely speechless. By the end of the day as Bethany strutted confidently down the hallway on her way home, news had gotten round the school that Paige and Joey had gotten into a huge fight after she had caught him making out with a cheerleader in the Janitor's closet. He had broken up with her on the spot and Paige being crazier than Bethany had snatched a mop stick and had struck him on the head with it. The mop stick broke in two and Joey had bled. This led to Paige and Joey getting suspended both for breaking school rules. Joey's dad was very strict and once the news got to him he'd probably give Joey a severe punishment that'd scar him for a while. Paige's mom was also going to ground the hell out of her. Bethany smirked to herself, this was exactly what they deserved.
