Angelina’s POV

5.62

The words hung in the air.

Emma’s smile froze. “What?”

“Get on your knees, I repeated. Slower this time. “And kiss my shoes. Ther tell everyone in this room that you’re a pathetic parasite who’s been using me like an ATM for months.”

Dead silence.

Nobody moved. Nobody breathed.

I could feel every eye in the classroom on us,

Emma just stood there. Staring at me like I’d grown a second head.

Her mouth opened. Closed. Opened again.

You re… you’re joking, right?”

“Do I look like I’m joking?“,

I wasn’t smiling anymore.

Emma’s face went white. Then red. Then white again.

“Are you serious right now?” Her voice cracked. ‘Over a few dollars? You’re gonna be this much of a bitch?”

“Few dollars?” I tilted my head. “You owe me eighty dollars, Emma. I’ve been keeping track.”

More gasps from around the room.

Emma’s eyes went wide. “That’s not- I don’t owe you that much-

“March 12th. Ten dollars for emergency groceries. Never paid back.”

“I was gonna-

March 28th. Five dollars because your mom’s car broke down. Except I say your mom’s car in the school parking lot that same day.”

Emma’s mouth snapped shut.

April 6th. Ten dollars for-

“Okay!” She held up both hands. “Okay, fine! So I owe you some money! Be that doesn’t mean you can just—”

I can do whatever I want.” I stood up. Crossed my arms. “It’s my money. My rules.”

Time to completely flip the script. Shes everyone the new Aria wasn’t someone you could walk over

62%

You’ve been coming at me like I’m your mom.” I said. Voice hard. Like u can just ask for shit whenever you

it and 111 hand it over tha

mile

Emma opened her mouth. I kept going

“But I didn’t birth TL Emma. I don’t owe you anything. So if you want horrow more money?” I smiled. No warmth in it. “You re gonna show some facking gratitude first

The classroom empted in shocked whispers

Did she just-

“Oh my God-

Aria Sterling cursing-

Teated them all. Kept my eyes locked on Emma.

So what’s it gonna be? You wanna get on your knees and thank me properly? Or you wanna fuck off and figure out your own problems?”

Emma’s face had gone through about fifteen different shades of red.

Her hands were shaking.

You’re being serious, she said. Her voice came out small Disbelieving you actually want me to… to kneel…”

And kiss my shoes. I added helpfully. Don’t forget that part.”

Someone in the back row laughed. Quickly covered it with a cough.

Emma looked around the room At all the faces staring at us. At the phoes some people were trying to sneak out to record this.

Then she looked back at me.

“I can’t believe youre doing this. Over money. You’re supposed to be myriend!”

Friends pay each other back.”

She d never planned to pay me back. Not a single dollar.

I could see her weighing her options, Pride versus need,

She needed that twenty dollars. Probably for something that had nothing do with a lab fee.

But kneeling in front of the whole class? In front of people who’d already een whispering about her?

That was social suicide.

Emma’s jaw clenched. “You know what? Forget it. Keep your money. I donneed-

I grabbed my wallet from my backpack. Pulled out a twenty.

Held it up so everyone could see.

Then I put it back.

“Last chance.” I said. “Kneel, or get lost.”

For a second, I thought she might actually do it.

But Emma wasn’t that desperate. Not yet, anyway.

She was just your average high school bully. The kind who picked on people weaker than her because she had nothing else going on.

No real skills. No real power.

The moment someone pushed back, she folded.

“Fine.” She grabbed her bag. Started to turn away. “Whatever. You’re a bitch, Aria. A total bitch.”

1 know.”

She stomped toward her desk. But I wasn’t done yet.
