on a fake smile and Sadie could swear she saw the cheerleader bat her eyes. "Anyway, can't two old friends catch up? I just wanted to chat with you, see how things were going, you know, since we reconnected in detention."
"First of all," Sadie said, trying to figure out Paulina's ulterior motive. "We did not reconnect in detention. You treated me like shit, I treated you like shit, that's how it's been and that's probably the way it will remain until we finally graduate from this school and never have to see each other again. Secondly, I can talk to you any way I want, Paulina, because you talk to me any way you want. Just because we spent nine hours in detention together does not make us friends again."
"Trust me," Paulina said dismissively. "I do not want to be your friend again. I was just bullshitting you."
"Then what," Sadie started slowly, making sure to articulate each and every word. She found that if she did, it would help her control her flaring temper. "Do you want?"
"I wanted to talk to you," she said, and Sadie noticed that the corners of Paulina's lips twitched up into an unreadable smirk. This could definitely not be good.
"You know," she began as she started to walk around the exhausted soccer player. Despite the fact that both the soccer teams and the cheerleaders had been out on the field practicing at the same time, Paulina looked perfectly pretty while Sadie looked incredibly tired. "I've been hearing some interesting things about what happened between you and Asher in the supply closet during detention. You do know that it's, like, illegal to have sex in public places, right?"
Sadie rolled her eyes. Was she really going to stand around and get legal advice from Paulina? "So is having sex with someone who is legal while you're still a minor," she retorted flatly. "Was this really all you came to do, Paulina? Lecture me on proper behavioral skills concerning the opposite sex? I think it's rich that out of all people, you would be telling me how to act."
"Oh, shut up Sadie," Paulina said, finally losing her cool. "God, you think you're so much better than everyone else. There is such a thing as being too good, you know. You're not perfect even though you might think you are. And obviously so; you screwed Asher Boyd in the supply closet." She crossed her arms over her chest as she smirked triumphantly.
"No, I didn't!" Sadie exclaimed before tightening her resolve. "Actually, you know, you're going to believe whatever you want no matter what I say, so I give up. I don't care. Think whatever you want to think."
"Is that an admission, Sadie Brown?" Paulina asked, excited that Sadie was actually going to say she did it.
"No, you dumbass," Sadie said flatly. "Did you listen to anything I just said? It doesn't matter what I say because no matter what that is, you're going to think that I slept with Asher one way or the other and I really don't have time to fight with you." She started to walk along, pushing past Paulina, and heading out, off the green grass and to the parking lot when Paulina said something to her that caused her to stop once again.
"I knew it!" the cheerleader called and smiled triumphantly, seeing Sadie stop and then finally turn to meet her stare. "I knew it." She walked over to Sadie so they were a couple of feet from one another. "You always did like getting my sloppy seconds, didn't you? After finding out what happened between me and Asher, you couldn't stand it, so you had to screw him to one up me. God, you're pathetic."
Without fully comprehending what she was doing, Sadie dropped her bag, reached back, and punched Paulina in the face. The shriek she emitted from her glossed lips caused anyone in the surrounding area to stop what they were doing and look at who had screeched like that. When they saw Paulina holding her nose and Sadie holding her hand, both in some amount of pain, they started to murmur and point before heading closer to the scene.
"You bitch!" Paulina
