Vengance : Stuck In The Tidal Wave

Elena confronts Autumn about the rumors she's heard. Caleb has a 'talk' with Alec. Aiko formaly meets Autumn and Elena.

             The lunch room was full with busy student bodies, Aiko dodged a group of girls almost tipping her tray over. An evil smile on her face, it would be funny if it did spill on them the smile faded as soon as she saw that guy from the hall way on Monday after Spanish.

"B*****d" she muttered and went around in a circle to avoid him. Alec smiled as he watched her take the long way to the outside tables, Elena walked up next to him her pale hair looked as if she just survied a hurricane.

"I like the new look" he messed it up a little more, a deep blush rose up to her face

"Is it that bad?" she asked trying to smooth it down.

"Kinda" he looked around to see if Aiko was still in sight; Elena tried to see at who or what he was looking at when suddenly she saw the shy girl from Spanish.

"Hey" she said to her as she grabbed her arm, Autumn was shocked as she turned to see who grabed her. "Hi" Elena said cooly "I wanted to ask you if those rumors are true, you know the ones about you being pregnant and all" Elena continued to babble on as fury started to build up inside of Autumn. She yanked her arm away from her, her voice wavering with anger

"As a matter of fact, I am not pregnant, and I don't plan on being so for a long time" Autumn started to raise her voice "And maybe you should try to act atleast half as nice as what every one says, everybody thinks your little Miss. Perfect and you do no wrong. Well, heres a news flash the exact same rumor was going around about you just the other week. It's just that everyone is so afraid about not being popular or being crushed by your stupid boyfried that they didn't tell you. Wake up, Elena." and stormed off. Shooken Elena looked at all the people staring at her, tears built up in her eyes but she wouldn't let them see a stupid no body get to her. She started to walk briskly towards outside Alec started after her, when Caleb steped in his way.

               Elena burst out the doors and ran directly in to Aiko, immideatly Aiko started laughing as Elena looked down to inspect her clothing. Gasping for breath between giggles, "Your soo lucky that the try was empty" Elena let out a sigh of relief "Thank gosh" she looked up at Aiko's pale face, she looked as if she could be full Japanese her facial features were perfect, and she had the classic long black hair and bangs that hung a little above her eyes. She couldn't much taller than Elena, maybe by an inch or two. "Did you really hit Chasity the other day?" She asked taking in the tripp pants and black tee, along with the assortment of rings that would definatly explain the cuts on Chasity's face. Now Aiko looked at her with a scorn "She deserved it" crossing her arms Elena looked at her "Oh really" "Yes really" Aiko said still glaring at her "She's the one that started the rumors about that girl that sits behind you in Spanish" Elena's face faltered slightly, Maybe she was right... maybe I do need to wake up. Elena thought to her self Chasity was the one who told her that the other morning, and no doubtably she probably started the one about her. Katheriene poked her head through the doors, "There you are!" she grabbed Elena's wrist "You have to come right now!" "Yeah, just one minute" she turned toward Aiko again, but she was no where in sight sighing she faced Katheriene again "What is it now?" she asked not really wanting to know as they walked through the hallways Katheriene was pulling on her wrist insisting that she went faster. "Caleb starting a fight with Alec" Katheriene exclaimed pulling harder on her wrist. "What!?" Elena yelled and both took off running toward the cafeteria.

             Aiko wandered aimlessly through the halls waiting impatiently for the bell to ring. Whispers took up when ever she passed a large group, she ignored them. As she rounded a corner she saw the familiar auburn head and headed toward Autumn "Hey" she said gruffly as she sat next to her and pulled her knees to her chest "How are you?" Autumn looked at her with a tear streaked face "Well..." she started in a sob "The school probably hates me now, but not for supposidly being a s**t but for totally bitching out Elena Winter in the middle fo the cateteria" she took a deep shaky breath "And now worse rumors will probably start to ooze out of every one's mouths" Sighing, Aiko rested her head against the wall "Why do you even care what people think?" she asked curiously staring at the ceiling "It's not like they've ever cared what you think about them" Autumn looked at her in suprise and stared at the floor "I.. I'm not sure" The bell rang and Aiko stood up "Well, stop caring about people who don't care about you. It won't stop the rumors but it'll take some of the pain away" she said softly sadness etched into her eyes. "See you later" She said as she walked away Autumn watched her hair sway back and forth with the same rythm the chains on her pants did. "Uhhh... yeah, sure?" Autumn finally managed to spit out even though she knew that she wouldn't hear her.
