Rebe...
I woke up tired as hell. What else is new? I walk towards my closet and see the black bags hidden underneath a rack behind some magazines. Why did I go along with stealing freaking 950 million dollars? Who hides money that big? Oh wait my dad or the Lodges.
I quickly get dressed and ignore the bags, They were looking at me like I did something wrong. Which I totally did! And I've never felt this guilty before.

I take a deep breath as I walk downstairs. I see my brother in the living room watching 'Bugs Bunny.' Typical. I walk in the kitchen and put an apple in my backpack as a snack for the drive to school.
I grab my keys and start to head out the door.
"Later Loser." I said to my brother watching cartoons on the couch.
"Yeah yeah." He said and kept his eyes glued to the screen.
I got into my bubblegum pink Ferrari and drove to school. It took forever to find a place to park but when I did. I got out of my car and rushed to the big old wooden doors of my school. I walk towards my locker and start to get my French textbook out when I see Veronica from the corner of my right eye run up to Betty. Betty's locker was only 6 away from mine.
"Betty! BETTY!" Veronica screamed. She looked really panicked.
"V what's wrong?" Betty asked.
"Someone stole all of my family's savings." Veronica said as she was starting to hyperventilate.
"What do you mean?" Betty asked.
"Everything is gone Betty." Veronica said.
I hid my face in my locker and tears were threatening to roll down my face but I couldn't let them.
"Rebecca!" Veronica said as she came to my locker door.
"Oh...hi." I said.
"Have you been crying?" Veronica asked.
"What?? No just mascara got in my eye." I said. One of the worst lies I ever told.
"Oh okay.....look I know this is awkward and we haven't been the best of friends but I need a favour." Veronica said.
"Sure. For what?" I asked.
"Last night tragedy struck at the Lodge home." She said.
"What?" I asked. Man she likes to over exaggerate. Well I did just steal from her so I guess she has a valid reason.
"Some stupid robbers broke into my house. Stole all of my college money, our mortgage money, money were saving to travel. Everything's gone." Veronica said
Oh Jesus now I really feel guilty.
"I'm sorry to hear that." I said.
"I know it's a lot but since our dads are working on the banquet dinner together. I was wondering if I could borrow some of your clothes for a day?" She asked.
"Oh I don't have money." I said even though that's a big lie. My family is made of money.
"I don't money I just need a shirt." Veronica said.
"I-I'm busy after school." I said.
"Oh okay. I just....I just can't believe some idiots would break into a million dollar home! And of course it has to be the day before we get our security cameras!" Veronica said.
"That's why he wanted me to do it last night." I said.
"Who?" Veronica asked.
"Oh...nobody. I was just heading to class. I'll see ya tomorrow." I said as I scurried off to my first period. Man that was a close one.
Monday Afternoon
It was 3:46pm. I headed towards the art room. The table cloths I ordered have arrived early as well as the vases for the flowers. They were plain vases. I wanted them to match the ribbon which is red and gold. I went to the back of the art room to the supply cabinet. I grabbed 3 shade of red paint and 2 gold shades. We had 16 vases meaning 16 tables. At 4:00pm I started to get paint brushes ready to paint. I look at the clock and Sweet Pea is still not here. Uggg...what is with this guy and being late. But I spoke too soon.
I hear the art room door fly open to reveal Sweet Pea strutting in.
"Your late. For the third time." I said. I was really starting to get annoyed with this kid.
"What are you my mom?" He asked as he threw his backpack to the opposite side of the classroom.
I rolled my eyes.
"I take that as a compliment, you know because I am amazing but also because I bet your mother is so ugly even One Direction had to go the other way." I said and rolled my eyes and resumed to get the paint brushes from the cabinets.
"At least I don't make a living on being a bitch." Sweet Pea said.
I walked past him and put newspaper underneath one of the vases to start painting.
"Are you going to insult me or help me paint?" I asked.
He rolled his eyes "Yeah sure I'll help....whatever gets me out of your hell hole faster." He said.
"What? You don't like Riverdale High?" I asked.
"Not particularly." He said.
"Well your dump of a school doesn't have an art room so I guess your stuck here for the next hour." I said.
"Wow you always have a annoying comeback." He said as he started to get newspaper for his case he was going to paint.
"Yeah...but so do you?" I said.
I started to do red stripes on my plain vase.
"I just thought....you know since your in the debate club, the friendship club, and the glee club, and the economics club....and the Chess Club.....-" Sweet Pea said.
"What's your point?" I asked.
"I thought you'd be more harsh." He said with a cocky smile. Almost like the smile Reggie gives me when he's about to ask for sex like the 20th time in one day.
"Harsh? Please people love me here." I said.
"Really? Then why are you a bitch to me?" Sweet Pea asked.
"Well you were rude and hostile towards me first." I said which it was true.
"If you fight fire with fire, your just gonna end up getting burned." Sweet Pea said.
***why do you think Rebecca is rude to Sweet Pea?***
***Will Veronica find out who stole from her family? Or will Rebecca confess?***
