Chapter 1
" You won't believe who's running for student body president," my best friend said while joining me at the lunch table I shrugged while taking a sip of my apple juice, "James Anthony Parker," she screamed.
I choked on my juice, anger fills me up as I removed myself from my chair and stormed out the cafeteria.
I burst the doors of the boy's locker room, eyes were on as I searched for him some said "ow" I heard a bunch of whistles, of course, I'm in a room full of half-naked boys.
"You!" I said pointing at the most handsome, yet disturbing boy that was in front of me, meet my enemy since we were in preschool: James.
"Sup Eli, if you wanted to see me naked all you had to do was ask," He said with his most charming smirk.
I rudely rolled my eyes
"Why would you run for student body president?"
He chucked while applying cream on his attractive body, then replied.
"What? you can't handle a little challenge, and besides, you know that spot is for me"
"What are you doing in here Bethy?" my brother asked as he approaches us, "Your dick of a best friend is running for student body president," I replied.
He changes his gaze to James and said, "For real, congrats bro, good luck" I wasn't shocked at all, of course, he would side with him like he always does.
"You know what Parker, I'm going to win, and as for you Ethan you can vote for him, he'll be needing it" I said while flicking my hair, I turned around and swayed my hips out the room, the boys in the room whistled, I smirked to myself.
I'm Elizabeth Milton, Ethan's my brother he's a year older than me, so is James, they've been best friends since they were in diapers, on the other hand, James and I are sworn, enemies.
James does everything in his power to annoy me, he's the captain of the baseball team and also the school's heart breaker. Well my brother is quite the opposite in his own ways, he's loyal and truthful and they are known as the "Gods of our school" and "The kings of pranks".
They've done countless pranks on both teachers and students, they were never caught. And as for me, I'm just the normal sister who has to put up with their childish acts and who also wants the best for myself and other people.
Being the sister of a popular boy comes with circumstances, I was always there to clean his messes and keep him out of trouble, and for long as I can remember I've been doing that since the day he's friends with James.
Most days James would stay with us, his parents were always out and he's also irresponsible, always getting himself in trouble and when he does he always says 'We only get to live this life once'.We are also neighbors. Let's talk about why I hate James so much.
It all started when we were in preschool when I say we I mean James, Ethan, and me. We were all best friends, did everything together, Ethan being a big brother who always protects me and James would always be there when Ethan wasn't around, I've always had a crush on James. Ethan nor James had no clue about this, but he turned from my crush to the person I most hate now.
It was my 7th birthday and I was thrown a party by my parents, I invited everybody including James!, I was beyond happy because I was going to confess my feelings to him, everybody came and wished me a happy birthday and brought gifts, as I kindly accepted the gifts I saw a glimpse of James, I grinned as he approaches me, "Happy birthday Eli" he said while giving me a warm hug, I returned the hug. We pulled away when we heard Ethan's voice " okay okay, I need to talk to James for a sec Bethy " with that they disappeared somewhere around the back, I shrugged and continued accepting the birthday wishes.
Hours passed by people started to leave, which I was grateful for I was exhausted, several children were still preoccupied with the candy shop, I decided to go inside, I was about to turn the doorknob when I felt something cold and sappy that covered all of me, it was so smelly and raw, I was covered in sardine and water, at this point, all eyes were on me, I was embarrassed, they all burst out in fits of laughter, I looked upon the housetop to find James and of course Ethan.
James was holding the bowl and Ethan had an apologetic look on his face. Since that day my hate grew stronger and stronger daily for him.
I forgave Ethan, of course, he did everything in his will for my forgiveness, on the other hand, James didn't apologize, we continued our lives, he did pranks on me. So did I, I've made his life living hell since that day. And now he's running for student body president which I doubt he even wants the position, he's just messing with me, and I knew for sure I wasn't going to let him win.
