Running with Revenge

𝓭𝓮𝓾𝔁

"Ooh, babygirl, you know we're gonna be legends I'm a king and you're a queen and we will stumble through heaven"

Lace woke up at six am and groaned as a direct result of school. She slides out of bed landing feet first today feeling extremely lucky. Her arms stretch above her head and she softly pads to the bathroom rubbing mud out of her eyes. She does her routine and swipes on some mascara. She walks into her room and pulls out an off the shoulder top and her overalls and walks out of the room. Lace finds Delilah in the kitchen studying a case, drinking coffee.

"Lace, your breakfast is on the counter and hurry up your bus is coming in ten minutes" she screams from across the room. Lace's head whips around almost slapping her in the face and she runs to the shoe cabinet to grab her ankle boots.  Lace runs out the door, backpack in hand, sprinting to the bus. The yellow bus was about to leave but she caught it just in time. The doors open up and she walks in the whole bus going silent. Unknownst to Lace this bus was full of senior jocks who were staring at the short freshmen. Lace walks to the open seat on the bus, boots clicking on the way.

"Hey pretty darling, why won't you come to sit with us? We won't cause any harm." One of the seniors asked Lace. Lace starts to sign but then smacks her palm in frustration.

"What babygirl? Why are you so frustrated?" Another senior asked her as Lace took out her app, furiously typing.

"Number one, my name isn't babygirl or darling it's Lace. Number two I'm mute you dumbos" Lace's phone dictates. All the seniors are gasping at the small girl, now interested in her.

"Okay Lace you obviously aren't from here, but we rule this school and we can make your life hell," The leader says while reaching for a bracelet.

"I don't care, do you see fright on my voice? No, that's what I thought."The small girl preaches, legs swinging innocently from the seat.

"Well Lace, I'm Jonah and I was wondering if you wanted to be my friend-uh,I don't know how to approach this" Jonah says cringing and Lace's green eyes are sparkling happily after the request. The other seniors have their eyes wide and are surprised that their best friend that the whole school bows down to, is asking a freshman to join their group. Lace's eyes widen and she nods, Jonah tieing the bracelet around her petite wrist right as the bus stops. Jonah takes Lace's hand and walks out the bus with the rest of the group following his lead. Lace tries to pull her hand out of his hand but he doesn't allow it.

"Come on baby girl" he mutters, dragging her gently to the office.
