Chapter Text
Mel stared into the school bathroom's mirror, observing every aspect of her appearance as if she was perfecting a piece of art. She clenched her fists angrily, shaking her head before digging in her bag and fixing an almost unnoticeable smudge of her well put together face of makeup. It was only the first period and she'd already decided to skip the class, figuring she could 'convince' someone else into doing whatever work that would be assigned. She placed the container back into her purse with a clank, pulling out a single cigarette that was loose in her bag in the same motion. She stuck a hand in her vest's pocket, taking an old looking lighter out of it using it to light the aforementioned cigarette. She propped her elbows up on the ledge where the sinks were, taking puffs and contemplating.
Another girl walked in, the door making a squeaking sound as it was nudged open. She rolled her eyes glaring at the girl, she walked over to the sink next to her, side eyeing Mel and for the most part ignoring her. "Nerium," She said before blowing out a cloud of smoke toward her. The girl, supposedly named 'Nerium', furrowed her brows and clenched her teeth before hesitantly replying to Mel. "Meline.. What do you even want." She looked away and proceeded with applying a light peachy coloured lip gloss. "Nothin, just noticed your petty ass entered. You fuckin' don't mention a word about this or your life is O-VER." She clenched her teeth recounting the numerous times Nerium purposefully tattled on her for the pettiest things, (Hence calling her petty.) "I'll do whatever I want to, I know you're literally unchangeable. All you do is sleep around and contribute nothing." The cap of the lip gloss snapped on with a click, The faint scent of lipgloss could be smelt. "Don't even start with me." She added. Mel stood up proper, putting the cig in her mouth before pounding her fist down onto the counter. "You're just as FUCKING BAD AS I AM AREN'T YOU? YOU'RE NOT AS FUCKING PERFECT AS YOU SEEM ARENT YOU?" She shouted at Nerium, and Nerium turned a little pale hearing it said. "Fuck you Meline, Fuck you. You're just pissed you're nothing" She furrowed her brows at her, and she scowled, taking her bag and walking past, taking a glance back at her seeing her glare. "Kill yourself for all I care, Meline." and Just as Meline was about to comment, Nerium left. She exhaled deeply and tightened her grip, she took a puff of her cigarette again, before giving up and pressing the burning end against the bathroom counter, smothering the flame. She tossed it and left the bathroom.
