Just A Girl

Once upon a time...thats as far as she ever got on her short story english projects. Meeha sat at the back of the classroom near the window so she could gaze out it and day dream. It wasn't like she didn't have good ideas, she did, but she never knew how to start them or how to end them or what to name the characters. So she just didn't bother. Meeha glanced at the clock to see how many minutes were left until the end of the day bell. Only five. She scribble down some of her ideas and doodled until the bell finally rang.  

She jumped up and ran to the door before the announcements were over. Her long brown hair flowing behind her like a goddess. Her brown eyes focusing on the door. In one swift motion she opened the door and ran out it. 1

"Gared" Meeha yelled after a boy walking down the hall3

"Gared"4

"Oh hey Meeha. How was English?"5

"Great" she replied sarcastically gently leaning over to give him a kiss on the cheek6

"How was biology?" Meeha asked7

"Oh you know. Same Old Shit...Different Day"8

9

Meeha laughed cutely as the got on the bus to go home.10

11

"So are we still on for tonight?" Meeha asked12

13

It was Thursday and every Thursday Gared took her out to dinner and a movie14

15

"Umm about that...I meant to tell you I can't make it...I...a...have other plans"16

17

Other plans, she thought to herself, what could he possibly be doing. They had been doing this ever since they started dating over a year and a half ago. She was mesmerized but said nothing.18

19

"Oh, so are we gonna do something on tomorrow instead?"  she asked cheerfully20

21

"Look Meeha, I don't have time for you anymore, Its over" 22

23

Gared got up and moved to the seat in the back where Melissa was sitting. Meeha didn't know what to do...what to say...or how to act. She wanted to punch him in the face...tell him off...and cry her eyes out but she resisted the urge and remained calm...until she got home.24

25

The next day Meeha found out exactly what was going on. Gared had left her because he wanted to date Melissa. Meeha was always jealous of Melissa with her long blond hair and baby blue eyes. This just made her hate her more.26

27

Later that night while Meeha was laying in her bed trying to fall asleep, she heard a demonic voice in head saying "Kill her". 28

29

"Kill who?"she thought. 30

31

"Melissa" the voice replied as if it could read her thoughts.32

33

"But Why?" Meeha asked out loud34

35

"Because can't you see, this is all her fault. If it wasn't for her you and Gared would still be togeather"36

37

"Your right but I could never do something like that"38

39

"You could and you will. I will help you."40

41

"I don't know, This seems kinda...mean"42

43

"What she did to you was even meaner, Meeha"44

45

"I wouldn't know How to do it...or when ...or with what" Meeha thought46

47

"Melissa is Gared's replacement for you so my guess is that he takes her out once a week. Find out when that day is Meeha. When she gets home she will be happy and dazy. That will be when Meeha. A guns too loud and a knife makes too much of a mess but poison...now thats perfect." the voice explained48

49

"But where will I get the poison?"50

51

"In the science lab at school of course"52

53

And so it was set. Meeha went to school on monday and talked to Gareds bestfriend Tommy, He had always had a crush on Meeha and would give her all the information she needed.54

55

"Hey Tommy" Meeha flirted56

57

"Hey Meeha, Whats up?"58

59

"Same old shit, different day" she replied60

61

"I was wondering Tommy, did u maybe wanna go out on a date sometime?"62

63

"Really?" Tommy asked in disbelief64

65

"Really, On one condition, it has to be on the same night Gared and Melissa go out"66

67

"Deal" Tommy replied "So I'll pick you up tomorrow, say around 6"68

69

Meeha walked away. 70

71

"Tomorrow" she thought " That means I have to get the poison today, which would be tricky means the lab is closed mondays. But no worries she had an idea. She walked into the office and Knowing that the old school papers where kept in the back room, she casually asked the principal if she had any old newspapers from 1993 she could have for her school project. As the principal slipped into the back room she swipped the master key she had in her top drawer. She knew it was there because she also kept her stapler there, which Meeha used offend.72

73

Once she had the key, the rest was easy. She slipped in the lab and gently closed the door behind her. She picked a poison that was quick to kill and taste-less. The she exited the way she came in. Now all she had to do was wait. Until Tomorrow Night. When she would seek her revenge.74

75

The night came and around 8:30 Meeha headed towards Melissa's house. She climbed up the vine ladder to Melissa's window, climbed in, hid under the bed with the poison in hand and waited. 9:00 still nothing. 9:30 nothing. Finally 10:00 she heard the car pull into the drive way. She thought she'd be more nervous then this but she wasn't. She was perfectly calm. The front door opened. Meeha could hear Melissa foot steps coming up the stairs. This was it. Meeha's moment. She heard Melissa changing into her pajama's. Then everything went dark. Melissa had turned the light off and was now crawling into bed. Melissa's bed squeaked as she climbed into bed and at the same time Meeha pulled herself out from under it. She tipped-toed until she was right over Melissa's body. With one slick mover she plugged Melissa's nose, poured the poison in her mouth and forced her to swallow. Melissa gagged and coughed but she just couldn't catch her breath. 76

77

Suddenly the bed room door flew opened and Melissa's parents walked in. Meeha was busted. 78

79

Only 18 years old when she died. Lethal injection.80
