19h23.
It was cold, too cold for a March 6th, even in 2002.
A blonde woman was walking in the street when a girl saw her.
"Shit it's the Greenpeace girl" Linda mumbled to herself while changing paths.
Too late.
"Hi, may I talk to you about saving the planet ?" The young brunette was hopefully smiling.
Linda, already having a bad day, didn't took the time to make-up an excuse. She just speeded up, ignoring the other woman.
"Excuse me, Miss Murray" her smile was fading by dint of being ignored all day.
"WHAT ? CAN'T YOU JUST LEAVE ME ALONE ?!" Okay, her reaction was maybe too much but she couldn't helped it.
She could only think about how her day could get worse.

20h03.
She was finally home, at least if this little apartment could be called "home". With the need to relax, she walked to her bathroom, removed her clothes, filled the bath with hot water and slipped inside.
All along, she could only think about the party she was attending in about an hour, a party arranged by Tom Houston. The douchebag.
His girlfriend wasn't better, she was the cheer captain, it should have been Linda, but the ginger owned the title before Linda could register.
Linda wrapped herself in a white cotton towel, before walking to her room. A short black dress was waiting for her on the master bed.
She put on tights, some high heels, her dress and took her purse. Ready !

21h12.
Arriving at the party, who was really close to Linda's apartment, she immediately recognized some students from Hatchetfield high.
"Hey sexy ! If you're bored we can find a calm spot to play hide and seek, my weiner and your holes !" The 17 years old boy wasn't at his first attempt with any girl at this party or even at school and wasn't ready to stop.
"Eww, Spankovsky, try your gross pickup lines on someone else !"
Linda gave him a look of disgust, before heading inside,
she right away saw where the boose was and took a beer.
Is that Becky with an even more tiny dress then what Linda is wearing ? It surely is. This bitch really wants attention ! Even with a boyfriend she looks like she wants to lose her panties, whore.
Linda walked toward Jane.
"Hi, have you seen what Becky is wearing and what she's obviously NOT wearing?" Linda gesture to the girl's thighs.
"Come on Linda, it's not THAT bad !" Jane rolled her blue eyes.
"Huh, don't you remember she's in a relationship-" she got surprised when the other teen stopped her.
"You know damn well that I know she's in a relationship with Tom"
Jane was annoyed to be reminded every day that Tom is settled only, because Linda is jealous or whatever.
"Give me a minute I got an idea !" A grin appeared on the blonde's face.

22h31.
Mary, Judith and Heather were talking about the latest gossip when Linda came to them.
"I need to tell you something, but promise you won't tell another soul."
Linda knew the trap was set, these bitches can't hold their tongue!
The girls promised and waited for Linda to explain.
"The poor girl will be devastated, if she found out about that, but I just heard that Tom Houston is cheating on her" The blonde faked a compassionate smile.
Knowing that the gang can't hold their tongues, she walked back to Jane's side.
"What did you do ?" The woman said while watching Mary whisper to Ted and Heather to Gary.
"You'll see" Linda was smiling.
It only took 20 minutes, before everyone heard the rumor.
●● ●○● ●●
22h57.
"Is it true ?!" Becky had tears coming from her eyes.
"What are you talking about, honey ?" The quaterback said, confused.
"You know damn well what I'm talking about, everyone is saying that you cheated on me, so give me an answer..." the redhead couldn't hold her tears anymore, they were running across her face.
"Beck, stop crying please, it only happened once !"
Linda's eyes widened when she heard the boy's response. It was supposed to be a fake rumor to cold their relationship, not the event that will reveal a terrible reality and break their couple. She wasn't feeling good with that, even if she despised the twosome. Weirdly, Becky doesn't seem to have a lot of close friends, when she's not with Tom 'cause no-one was getting after her to see if she was okay after the scene.
Linda was feeling bad, she can't capture why though...she hates Becky right ? Right ?
●● ●○● ●●
23h04.
Becky just packed all her things from Tom's house and was heading to the street when a horny bastard stopped her.
"Hey, beauty where you're going ? We didn't have time to play bingo with your body parts and obviously mine, I'm not gonna take away your chances" Ted was smirking at her.
"Leave her alone, jackass !" Linda stands there with her arms crossed and an air filled with contempt on her face.
"You're not fun, Lin !" He was frustrated to be stop like that.
Ted stepped inside, letting alone the blonde and the sobbing redhead.
"Why, did you tell him to head off ? I thought you hated me, you bitch !"
Becky couldn't recall any time the self-centered girl ever taken her defense.
"First, he's a disgusting dickhead and second I dispice you, you are just so weak that I almost feel bad for you." She gesture again to Becky's tears.
The cheerleader walked to her car, arms full with her stuff.
"Where do you think you're going ? You're SO drunk !" Even if Becky was pretty annoying, Linda was not going to let her have an accident just because Linda started a dumb rumor who turned out to be true. She won't admit it, but she cares for Becky.
"What's your problem ?" She wasn't crying anymore. "I'm 18, now single and I'm spending the worst day of my life. Can you just let me drive to my parent's house? I have nowhere else to go !" Becky was close to weep... again.
"Come to my apartment." The blonde was surprised with her own words as they came out of her mouth, but couldn't help them.
"What ?!" The redhead's eyes widened with astonishment.
"Did I fucking stutter, you hussy ?" She put her hands on her hips. "We're a Wednesday and we have school tomorrow so you will sleep on the couch and after it, we're gonna go with our day like nothing happened."
Becky whisper a shy "okay" before heading to Linda's apartment.

23h22.
"Here we are, that's where you're going to sleep..." She pointed the luxury couch. "And don't you dare disturb me by crying all night, I'm exhausted ! Oh and, if you envisage to kill yourself, this couch is worth more then your parent's house SO DON'T." She left the depressed girl with her thoughts.
The night passed with Becky crying silently and Linda shutting time to time "Shut your fucking mouth, you slang !"
