Echoes of Renewal

e was just one of my ways of trying to be good, but she turned me down. She was going to pay so badly for that. I can have any girl I want, and currently, I think Selina is falling for me, but who cares? She is so fake; even her face is just filled with plastics. I disgust her. But as for Brynn, she was going to pay. I'm Michael Daniels, the child of my parents. Growing up, I had everything I wanted. I got things without even asking. I had se

gy, I bumped into Michael, and he pushed me aside. He walked away while Selina gave me the "I will deal with you" look. The day pretty much went by, and before I knew it, it was already lunchtime. When I got to my locker to get my lunch (since Mum forced me to take her lucky first-day-at-work lunch, as she called it, with me), I couldn't find it. But that was weird because I definitely left it in my locker. Going into the cafeteria, I saw the other kids laughing. Then I saw him. Michael was shredding my sandwich into pieces in front of the other kids, telling everyone how poor I was and how my Mum couldn't afford to get me a meal ticket. I stood there embarrassed. Something hot streamed down my eyes; it was the tears rushing down. But before I could absorb the whole shock, I walked over to Michael, and before I could record what was happening, I slapped him. The whole cafeteria became so calm and quiet; everyone was shocked and whispered among t

ho would blame her for that? She was standing with a boy whose name I didn't know when Emma and I walked over to her. "Hey Girl!" Emma and I said in unison. "You look so beautiful, and this is for you. They are skincare products, and I'm sure you would love them," I said, smiling. "This is for you, Rissa; it's actually gift cards," Emma said. "Thank you guys so much. I really don't know what I would have done without you guys." "Nothing," I said, laughing. After that, she left to talk to her other friends. The party wasn't so bad because Michael wasn't here. Selina came dressed in skimpy and short clothes with her maids behind her. But then someone stood behind her; it was Michael. Well, I guess they are now a thing. He made eye contact with me and smirked, which left me flushing. He was walking over when I looked up. Emma sent a text saying she had left for Joshua's house and that I should call to tell her when I'm ready to leave. Well, I guess I am all alone now. "Hey," Michael said, smirking as he reached me. "You look so beautiful, or should I say gorgeous tonight?" he continued. I didn't return his compliment, though he looked so hot. But who the hell cares? I started walking away when he grabbed my hands. "Hey, don't give me the silent treatment. I'm really trying so hard to be nice here," he said so innocently. I would have believed him if I didn't know who Michael was. He was a jerk, and everyone knows that. "Well, as you can see, I don't want to talk to you." Selina walked up to us, putting her hands around us. "And your girlfriend is here, so I guess it is her you should be talking to and not me." I was outside before I knew it. I am so confused. Why is he acting so nice now? He actually hates me, so why act kind now? I wasn't going to let anyone ruin my night; I was going to have fun. Well, a lot of them. I think

e doesn't come for parties. I don't know what is happening to me, but I just want to always be around her. But I'm sure about something; that is, whatever is going on isn't love. I was going to get my revenge on her after what she made me go through.
