Heaven's POV
I was glaring at him with all the power my vision could muster. I should've slept less today—my dark circles alone would've made him piss his pants.
"Why did you do that?" Leo asked. We were currently in some random classroom, with Amber beside me and Ezra standing next to him. Don't ask me where Seth went—he abandoned us for his precious food.
"What did I do?" I asked innocently.
"My ID," he gritted out. Someone was clearly in a bad mood. Time to channel all those acting classes.
"You think I did that?" I asked, feigning deep hurt as I placed a hand over my heart. With fake, unshed tears in my eyes, I continued:
"I can't believe my ears right now. Why couldn't God have turned me deaf before letting me hear this? Oh God, I prayed four times a day for this boy, and now he's accusing me of such a hideous crime. I can't believe anything anymore—"
I paused dramatically to catch my breath.
"You done with your drama?" Leo asked, rolling his eyes at my Oscar-worthy performance.
"Bad acting," Amber added beside me.
"It was realistic! He must be having an inner breakdown after listening to me," I said, feeling offended.
"Sure he is," Amber retorted sarcastically, rolling her eyes.
"It was my best performance till—"
I was rudely interrupted by a not-so-welcome voice.
"I don't have all day," Leo said.
"Okay, I did it. Now are you gonna bitch about it?" I said, dropping my better-than-Kim-Kardashian act.
"Revenge," he said with a devilish smirk.
"Amber, I—I'm s-so scared. I'm literally shitting my pants right now," I said in a mock-scared voice.
And then I burst into laughter.
"Just wait and watch, Heaven. I'll get back at you," Leo said lowly, trying to intimidate me.
"We'll see about that," I replied in an equally menacing tone.
"Take care, dear. We wouldn't want any... accidents, right?" Leo said as he walked out of the classroom.
"Good luck with that, fuckers," I said, waving at him.
So, let's begin from the start. I'm Heaven Brooks. I was once a sweet, caring, and loving soul chilling in God's realm—until He decided it was time for me to descend to Earth and save it from a dark, demented soul He had mistakenly sent down to destroy everything.
And that's how I made my grand entrance into this world—dramatically popping out of my mother's vagina, crying my lungs out.
And my enemy—the darkest soul—Leo, was born to my mom's best friend, Aunt Sarah. Ironically, she's the nicest person alive.
From that moment, our rivalry began. We've been against each other ever since, and it won't end until one of us goes down. And I'll make sure it's him.
I will save this world.
At Home:
The rest of the school day was a blur after Leo and I had our little chat. He didn't make a move at all.
Pussy.
That night, I decided to take a bubble bath. I loved those things. After filling the tub and adding all my essential oils, I soaked in the warm water. Once I got comfortable, I massaged shampoo into my scalp and rinsed it off. After finishing my bath, I went to brush my hair.
When I took off the towel, I froze.
I wasn't just shocked—I was horrified. My once brown hair was now bright pink. I looked like a damn Barbie.
I rushed to check my shower products. The traitor? My shampoo. Someone had mixed dye in it, and I was sure that someone was my obnoxiously arrogant neighbor/enemy, Leo.
Ah yes, the perks of having your enemy's mom as your mom's best friend. And living next door. And having rooms facing each other across a tree.
That bastard will pray he was never born.
Next Day:
I woke up early today. I couldn't wait to get to school. Why? Because Leo's revenge had ignited a hunger for vengeance inside me. I looked like walking cotton candy—only the bad, rotten, discolored kind.
My poor hair.
I had already set everything up. I just needed him at the right place at the right time.
I picked out a dark blue sweatshirt, ripped jeans, and white sneakers. I checked myself in the mirror—good to go.
I drove to school and waited for the victim, a.k.a. Leo, to arrive.
Amber's car pulled into the parking lot. She burst out laughing the moment she saw me.
"W-What happened to your h-hair?" she asked between laughs.
"Leo," I grumbled.
"Holy moly fucking shit," Seth said as he walked up. "Is this your new rebellion look?"
"Leo's revenge," Amber answered.
"He did a great job turning you into a sick Barbie with diarrhea. Let me take a pic!" Seth said, cracking up before I could react. He snapped a photo.
"You bitch! Delete that right now or I'll post your mermaid onesie photos online!" I yelled.
Before he could respond, I spotted Leo arriving on campus.
Showtime.
I walked up to him just as he got out of his car.
"Hey, I need your help," I said, approaching him.
He looked around, then pointed to himself. "Are you talking to me?"
"Yes?"
"Are pigs flying?" he said, glancing at the sky.
"No?" I replied, unsure if I was answering or asking.
"You're asking me for help?" he said skeptically.
"I just spoke to you, so yeah."
"Okaaay. What do I get in return?"
"My deep, heartfelt gratitude. It might help you grow into a better person."
Cue dramatic eye roll. Applaud, everyone.
"If you want my help, then you have to do one thing for me."
"What? Nooo."
"Okay, your loss." He started to walk away.
"Wait! Let me think first," I said quickly.
"I have to get to class."
"Okay, okay," I agreed, finally giving in. He smirked, smug with victory. Just wait, you dickhead. Just wait.
"So, Mom told me to give some stuff to Aunt Sarah after school, but I have an extra lecture, and then I have to go to Amber's place," I explained. "Can you deliver them for me?"
"Okay."
"They're kinda heavy. You should grab them from my car," I said.
He took two plastic bags from my car and loaded them into his own. I added, "Wait, can you open that blue box and pass me the thing inside? It's mine."
He opened the box.
BOOM.
Glitter and sprinkles exploded into his face, coating him completely.
That was my cue.
And I ran.
