Chapter 4 Episode Three

Tessa's POV

I grinned as walked away from the popular guys table. Ohhhh i so much love this.

"Excuse me, excuse me." A voice yells, running after me. I turned around to see a girl in dorky glasses, that I've never seen in my life before running towards me.

"Erm, how can I help you." I raised an eyebrow at the girl and she raised her hands up, signaling for me to wait.

She takes in a few deep breaths, takes her bottle of water and drinks from it, before standing up straight to face me.

"So.., how can I help you?" I asks again folding my hands below my boobs giving her look that says... *Dont waste my time.*

"Hi Tessa. I'm Joanna but you can call me Joan. Nice to meet you." She introduced stretching forth her hand for a handshake. I stared at her hand, confused. How the hell does she know my name? I can swear I've never seen this girl before, in my life. And I'm yet to tell anyone my name.

She noticed my confuse stare, she smiled and withdrew her hand, "I know you are wondering.... who am I? And how did I get to know your name, but first why don't we go somewhere else and talk. I heard the walls had ears." She whispered the last part of her statement to me, staring at the walls suspiciously. Okay, I've got to admit. She's weird.

Now the weird girl, didn't even give me a chance to contemplate if I should go with her or not. She just held my hand in a really tight grip then dragged me with her. Geez.

"We are good here, no one comes here." She whispers, letting go of my hand. I don't get why she's still whispering and you know this place actually has walls... don't know if you get what I mean.

"You're right about that. I never knew we had an old school library. This place looks so desolated and old, how did you find it?" I turned my back on her taking a look around.

"Well, I found it on one of my many adventures." Joan explains, and I nod my head. She's weird, I've never heard of a person going on an adventure in school. That's weird, she's weird.

"So care to tell me, why I'm here?." I asked impatiently.

"Of course, I'll tell you. Like I said earlier, I'm Joan, and I'm a geek. I know everything that goes on in this school, and so I know that you Tessa Blair, wants to exert revenge on our dear Asher Reed." I stared at her shocked. How did she get to find out about my little plan? Not even my sister at home knows of this and my parents, they don't even suspect me.

"And how do you know about this?" I muttered feeling cornered. I twirled my hair around my fingers hoping she isn't against me.

"I already told you Tessa, I know everything that goes in this school. I also know that you're not a new student, like everyone thinks. No one knows who you are, because you were invisible before... just like me. You see I know everything about you, Tessa Blair." She shrugs like it was nothing. It's alarming! I'm speechless.

"So.., what do you want exactly." I fidgeted, waiting uneasily for her reply... wondering what her true motives are.

"I want to help you achieve your plans. I want to help you in your journey of revenge on Asher Reeds heart." She said staring at me dead serious, her eyes unblinking. I could see she already put so much consideration into this.

"Hmm, and why do you want to help me." I asked. Would it be alright to trust her?

She sighs a little turning away from me, she walked to one the windows have this sullen look on her face... she looks out the old dusty windows.

"I once had a best friend, just like you. And just like Catherine, my best friend was also in love with Asher. She went ahead to profess her love to Asher, and of course Asher never refuse a free pussy. So he fucked her and dumped her. Clara never took the whole dumping stuff, easily." She paused.

I could feel the raw sadness radiating from her voice, and it made me remember my best friend Catherine. I miss her.

"So, is she dead?." I asked quietly. I already hate Asher but I do not want to believe he could be responsible for two deaths and still be walking so free like he did nothing.

"No! No, no, she's not. That's the one thing, you and I don't have in common. My best friend is in a mental hospital. Yeah, she ran mad."

Ohh, at least her friend is still alive. And Asher just made me hate him more than I already did. We both stood in silence for a while, each of us in our on thoughts.

"How did you know about my plan." I ask breaking the silence.

"I once saw Catherine with Asher. I warned your friend about him, and told her what he did to my own friend Clara. She didn't listen, so I watched her... and finally I got to know she committed suicide. Seeing you this morning in school, looking so different. I knew you were up to something and I knew I was right, the minute I saw you walking past Asher, like he was a nobody. Also eating in the popular table and ignoring Asher." I stared at the girl right in front of me, and the only thought that could go through my head... is that she's smart.

"So, what do you say. We team up and beat Asher to his own game." She smirks stretching forth her hand for a handshake.

"Hmm, I say we teach Asher.... On reasons why he shouldn't break lady's heart, Partner." I grinned and claimed her outstretched hand.

********************************

I sighed happily plopping down on my soft foam. Ugh, today has been full of event. I'm glad the first two steps of my plans, went well. I hung out with Joan, and it turns out she's really a cool girl. Although I still think she's weird.

Hmm, well I've got to go to bed now. I have another exciting day planned out tomorrow.

Asher Reed's POV:

"Why do you look so upset bro." My sis, Avery asks walking into my room, and should I add... uninvited.

"Leave." I said simply not even taking a look at her, sipping from my glass of wine.

"Wait a minute, did you get rejected by a girl?." She asks, and I sighed dejectedly.

"Oh No way, a girl rejected the great Asher Reeds. Who the heck is she? I need to see her!"

"Sis, take your bowie self and leave my room!" I dropped the glass of wine irritated by her presence. My friends already made fun of me, I don't need some kid in bow making fun of me also.

"Fine I'll go, but I'm tot's posting this. My brother the ladies man just got rejected by a girl. Have a goodnight bro, sweet dreams." She yells happily, and hopped out of my room.

Oh geez, Tessa. I won't let you put a stain on my good records. I'm the biggest player on the whole of Westfield. I'm going to get you, no matter what.
