Clara and I have been friends since we were in diapers and we loved each other to bits. We played games, ate the same food and even wore the same clothes when we had the chance. Life in our little suburban town was really good but things came crashing down when were eleven years old; my parents got a divorce and I had to move in with my mom and her boyfriend Malcom in the city.250Please respect copyright.PENANARwW31KTZUs
Well thanks to that, I could never see my dad nor my bestie ever again and I hated mom for it.250Please respect copyright.PENANAzOLupAwJ6r
"Why can't I just stay with dad?" I wined.250Please respect copyright.PENANAiFherh3Rl2
"Because the court said so." mom pinched the bridge of her nose. "Gosh we have been through this a dozen times Christine. Get over it. Your dad doesn't want to see you."
"No you are lying. I hate you!" and with that I stormed to my room and cried into my pillow.
Things between mom and I never improved and her boyfriend Malcom was awful. He did nothing but sit at the television eating pizza all day and he made me do all the house work when mom wasn't around. I talk to Mom about it but she stuffed bananas in her ears and didn't listen. Fortunately, I was still able to talk to dad through the phone and years later, I moved back with him. Mom wasn't happy to see me go but I didn't care. I was with my dad again and I was finally going to Clara as well.250Please respect copyright.PENANAa6wCMQhhKq
But out reunion didn't go as planned.250Please respect copyright.PENANA9PDSVrGAgC
First, Clara had moved out of the neighbourhood but fortunately was attending the highschool I would be going to in a few days. The highschool was huge and as I walked into the busy halls, I spotted Clara talking to a group of friends by the lockers.250Please respect copyright.PENANAX03D2Y5jLR
"Hi Clara! How are you?" I called out before rushing to give her a huge hug. "Did you miss me?"
But Clara looked at me dumbfounded. "Sorry but who are you?"
"Wha...its me. Chrisitine? Your childhood bestie?" I replied confused.
"Wow! You used to be friends with this looser?" one of the girls smirked. "How pathetic."
Suddenly Clara pushed me away. "What do you mean? I don't know her."
Hearing those words made me angry. "Yes you do. Remember? We used to play hopscotch near the pond, drink Cady Crush soda and even watched our favorite show Totally Spies Every Saturday morning until I moved."
Then the girls burst into laughter.250Please respect copyright.PENANA0QyBMfyXQX
"You used to drink Cady Crush Soda?"250Please respect copyright.PENANAM9t1tvpdDv
"How lame."250Please respect copyright.PENANA88CfKaLxFn
"Oh! Look at me! I am watching Totally Spies!" 250Please respect copyright.PENANAd9a1Jyx7H9
As they laughed Clara looked at me with tears in her eyes and ran off leaving me confused. The bell rung for class and I wanted to dit next to Clara but she placed her bag on the seat forcing me dit somewhere next to a nerdy kid with pimples and glasses and he told me Clara was part of the Queen Bee club and was dating the Highschool Jock.250Please respect copyright.PENANA4gb7Hyphgl
"They hold themselves with high social rankings here. Anyone who interfiers with them will be bullied for the rest of the year or worse the rest of their highschool lives!" she whispered. "So it is best you stay away from them."250Please respect copyright.PENANA4Yi12qH7W5
I thought she was joking! There is no way sweet Clara would be hanging out with those monsters but boy was I wrong. SInce that day, they have been playing all kinds of pranks on me. From dousing me with water, pulling my seat anytime I tried to sit in class or putting mustard in my gym shoes. 250Please respect copyright.PENANA34WHAcGaxT
Gross!250Please respect copyright.PENANAjwwgZGlvnz
No one dared to help me because they didn't want to be their next target and their pranks affected my grades and my social status in school. Tired of the bullying, I changed schools during my second year there and although I made new friends, joined the cheerleading squad and excelled in my grades I couldn't forget what Clara did to me back at my old school and how much that hurt me.
Life went on and I was in my second year in college dating my boyfriend Zack when Clara returned to my life. She was a college freshman and I was her tour guide around the school when she asked me if we could be friends again.
"I know I did all those terrible things to you but it was because I was trying to fit into that Pink Girls club." she said. "They told me to do it but when you left, I got kicked out and became their target. Please lets start over okay?"
It took me a few days before I agreed and we started over. We hung out after class, watched Zacks football matches and even revisited out childhood classics. College life was good until Zack broke up with me during our last year.250Please respect copyright.PENANAzAcsrCPqzw
"What? Why? Did I do something wrong?" 250Please respect copyright.PENANAuTPwMvs2G7
At that, Zack sighed and bit his bottom lip. "No its not you. Its me."250Please respect copyright.PENANA2JLxHzmqE1
And with that he walked away leaving me hanging. I was so devastated by our break up and even more devastated when I learned the reason; Clara was pregnant with his child! He was cheating on me with her!250Please respect copyright.PENANAdtd2VmFY5a
I was so mad that I confronted her in the school's football court.250Please respect copyright.PENANAuUawFUs7D3
"How could you do this to me?" I gasped with tears in my eyes. "I thought we were friends Clara!" 250Please respect copyright.PENANAgYesf1LccU
SHe smirked. "And you really thought that? Did you think I traveled all the way here for your pretty eyes?"250Please respect copyright.PENANAEOhBUpeQvp
I was confused. "What?"250Please respect copyright.PENANA5Ld6dQUhxG
"When you exposed my secrete to my friends, I was the laughing stock amongst the whole group!" she pointed her finger at me. "You humiliated me and I decided to get you back by making sure your years in highschool were miserable. I expected you to stick it out but you left and everyone bullied me for it. They even told my parents and they cut me off! I was disowned because of you!"250Please respect copyright.PENANAeAFsdeP6we
I couldn't believe what I was hearing. "So you did this because of what happened in highschool? You brought it upon yourself remember?"250Please respect copyright.PENANAYnVs7et9rI
SHe made an L sign with her fingers. "Whatever looser. Your man is my man now and there is nothing you could do about it. Nothing! And this is just the beginning. I will make your life a living hell until leave the face of this earth."250Please respect copyright.PENANAyFtPD9l6cO
The crazy look in her eyes terrified me and I ran off to tell the authorities about her threat but there was nothing they could do. Zack and Clara got married while I was graduating from College and I moved three states away to get away from them. Life slowly returned to normal. I got married, had kids and lived in a nice apartment.250Please respect copyright.PENANAMEnfYEhYsa
That is until my first born Sally went missing.250Please respect copyright.PENANACRT5P2RxfH
It was a mother's worst nightmare. The police searched high and low but couldn't find her but when they asked if there was someone who could have done this, I mentioned Clara's name and the hunt began. They found her but my child was gone forever.250Please respect copyright.PENANAab9dK16CwF
I was devastated and even more devastated when I learned what she did to her. She cut him up while he was still alive and chopped him to pieces and her reason for doing that was worse than what she told me during our college days; she and Zack separated. He took the kids and let her with nothing but his parting words were, "If I had known you were too materialistic, I wouldn't have left Christine for you when you got pregnant."250Please respect copyright.PENANArGpgXqOZ1C
Tears pricked my eyes when I heard this and everything was a blurr. WHen I came to, I was placed in an orange jumper wearing nothing but an orange jumpsuit while sitting in a padded room but it took a few days to learn what really happened in the court room.250Please respect copyright.PENANApzNRO6gRV5
I was so enraged that I took out the gun I hid in my purse and shot her right there in the court room. Then I turned the gun on myself but was detained by the security guards, taken away and placed in a mental facility because I was mentally unresponsive for three months.250Please respect copyright.PENANAk6jFFYmx3h
At least my husband came to visit me unfailingly.250Please respect copyright.PENANA6aYvWOetOd
Once the news of my recovery left the four corners of my room, news reporters and interviews came to get their piece of the story. I leanred that Zack was saddened by her death despite everything she did to me and I will still be tried for the crime once I am mentally sane but my response will remain the same if one should ask this question; Do you regret what you did to her?
No.
