Betrayal

Betrayal
I was at my locker getting my stuff for second period when I heard footsteps in the hallway. I thought I was the only one in the hallway because it was almost time for third period.
I heard “Hey, Hailey, skipping again I see”.
She had come up to me with an evil look in her eyes. All I had seen was a glimpse of a hand, a hand that slapped me in the face. It stung like a million of bees were attacking my face.
“What the hell was that for?” I said.
“I’ll tell you what that was for Hailey. You and your friends have betrayed me for the last time.”
I saw something that was black and bulky being pulled out her pocket. At first I wasn’t sure what it was. Then it dawned on me; it was a pistol. It was pointed right at my face; I didn’t know what to do or say. You could say that I was scared out of my mind.
I said in a scared voice, “Come on, Valerie. You… you don’t want to do this. Just put the gun down. I looked at my watch; second period was almost over.”
“I’m not putting it down. Hailey, you did this to me. You put this on yourself. You knew it was coming. All your little lies about being my friend have come to an end.”
“Please just put it down. Valerie, stop being psycho.”
“What was that you say Hailey? Do you want to say that again?”
“What I meant was that you don’t need to do this. This has gone too far. You’re going crazy.”
“O, so you think I’m crazy do you? Well, how’s this for crazy Hailey?
That’s when I heard a big BANG. Then a sound of a body hitting the ground. The gun had fallen and shot again. Everybody came running out of their classes screaming. A few people and watched the stillness of her body. There was a trail of blood spilling out of her head.
There was a bunch of chattering and people saying what happened? Lots of people were staring at me as if I was the one who shot her. Somebody must have called the ambulance because I could here the loud sirens coming closer and closer with every second that passed.
Mr. C, the principal, came down the hallway yelling everybody go home school is out for the rest of the week.
“Does anybody know what the hell happened here?”
The people who were standing near me just shook their head no. I did nothing because I was still in shock.
“Hailey, do you no what happened here”?
I nodded my head and tried to say yes, but no words would come out. I watched the paramedics take her body and put it a body bag. I thought she is dead; she’s really dead and it’s my fault. I had to wait till the police officers to get here because I have to tell them what exactly happened.
The police officers put me in a closed room and asked, “Did you shoot her? “What happened? You know you could spend years in jail if you did do this.”
I said I didn’t shoot her. “She shot herself.”
They said, “Well, do you know why she would do such a thing”
That’s when I had to explain a lot of what me and two other people did to ruin her life.
It all started out when my friends mike and Chelsea figured out that I was pretending to be Valerie’s friend.
“Did you see the way she dressed today she is such a slut”.
“Oh my god Mike, how can you say such a thing?
“Hailey you no it as well as I do that Valerie is a slut, you have seen here dating almost every guy’s in this school”
“She is so skinny to, she must be anorexic”.
“Come on you no it’s not nice to talk about people behind people’s backs, and she sit’s here and she will be here any moment to eat lunch with me.
They both said, we all no that your pretending to be her friend. So stop pretending to be a good goody.
That doesn’t matter Mike, It’s still wrong. What I do is nobody’s business but mine.
“Mike got up from the lunch table when Valerie sat down.
“Hmm, I wonder what’s wrong with Mike today.
I said; he is just a little upset; Him and Chelsea got into another fight; you no them to are broken up one day, together the next. I looked at Chelsea; she had no lunch, “where is your lunch”, I asked.
“I forgot my money today”
You have forgotten to bring your lunch money for five days? “Come on Valerie I’m not dumb; what’s going on?
“Why do you think there is something going on with me Hailey?
“Uhm you’re not eating that much; it looks like you have lost a lot of weight.
That’s when she said, “Well I would like to keep it that way”.
“I could give you some money if you want it; you should eat Vall”.
“I’m not really hungry but thanks anyway”.
“What do you think we are going to do for our science project on Hailey?
“I think it would be cool to do it on all the different types of energy sources there are”.
That would be really cool; Hailey could I come over tonight that way we could get some done tonight?
I was thinking in my mind, is my mom home tonight, wait nope she isn’t tonight, tonight would be good.
“Hello come back to earth Hailey, Hello”.
I stopped dazing off, Uhm… tonight yes tonight will be great, my mom won’t be home.
She asked with a serious voice, “Does your mom have a problem with me?
“O, no she doesn’t; she is just so annoying when I have people over; what time would you want to come over?
How about right after school; I could meet you by your car.
“That sounds great; meet me there”. The bell rang, I got up and threw my paper plate out and went to class.
