Tricky Little Love Games - 15 (Final Chapter)
Skylar Glass is a weird girl, between the piercings and the dark clothing, but nobody notices that. Being oblivious as she is, she doesn't notice that she's got guys falling for her left and right.
Chapter 15: Settle the Score
I sat in the principal's office, fidgeting. I obviously hadn't gotten off on a good start, but my piercings weren't in and I had done all that I could to look nice and trustworthy - light on makeup, hair in small, natural curls, wearing faded blue jeans and a cute white shirt that had some Chinese words on it - I had borrowed it from China.
I picked at my raggedy, uncared nails and waited patiently. The man - tall and balding - came inside the room and stared at me for a moment before he recognized me. "Oh. You again." He sounded deflated.
"Um, yes, sir." I looked down when he looked at me in confusion. I had made a smart-ass first impression, obviously. "Um... I've been sexually harassed." His eyebrows raised. "By one of the teaching assistants."
"Miss Glass, you are aware of the severe punishment that could happen to you if you are joking or lying, correct?" He asked. I nodded. "Do you have any such proof of this?"
"He pulled me into the janitor's closet a while ago, near the first few days of school," I said nervously. I told him the day.
"Is that all of your proof?"
I looked at the ground. "I have a friend that may back me up. Well, she actually hates me, but I think she could back me up."
The principal nodded. "We'll check the surveillance videos. In the meantime, see if you can find more proof. This is a very serious situation."

"Harper, please!" I asked for the twelfth time.
She stared at me. "Skylar, you may not realize this, but I love him. And good girlfriends do not lock their boyfriends away in jail."
"But he needs to leave. He's beat up Dimitri, screwed you over - literally! - And he's been harassing me. Harper, he's going to hurt you if he doesn't get in trouble. And when he's done with you, he'll move on to more girls and hurt them the same way. Do you want that to happen to other people?" I begged. "Please, I need you to help me. He's just going to hurt both of us if we don't stop him."
She looked down, then back at me. "You'll owe me forever if he gets locked up."
"I can only do so much."
Harper looked down, then her lips curled into a smile. "Fine. I'll testify that Zion's been sexually harassing you both, inside and outside the school. Anything else?"
2 Months Later
I smiled as China raced past me to grab her things. "You really need to get more organized," I commented as I sat on her bed. My backpack was sitting on my shoulders, and we had to get to school in an hour. Plenty of time, but China had to clue where her things were.
Outside, Cleo honked the horn of her car. "Come on or she'll leave!" I accused. China found her backpack in her closet and ran with me down the stairs. Dimitri met us down the stairs and smiled.
"Your girlfriend's getting edgy," I told him with a glare. He shot me a playful, very Dimitri smile and rushed past me.
China rolled her eyes and followed me to the car.
You're probably really confused. Well, for about a week or two I dated Dimitri. But, as things turn out, we didn't do well with the romance. We were just... better with friend's relationship. Oh, I know, "We can still be friends," came up when we split. But, lucky for me, he found an interest in Cleo. And... I'm sort of dating Logan.
Well, not sort of. Right after me and Demi were apart, I leaned of Logan for some help. I felt awkward and was scared that we could never be friends again. So, yeah, I kind of fell for Logan.
Weird, huh?
I sat in the back of the car, China on one side of me while Logan was on the other. I smiled to myself.
Zion was in federal jail, and wouldn't be out for five years. I would be long gone by then.
Ah, high school. Nothing more than homework, stress, and tricky little love games.
