The man on the other end pinched the bridge of his nose, sounding mildly exasperated. If youre concerned about your reputation, I can assist you next time. But if Pierson declines, my hands are tied.
Fine! If you wont help me, Ill handle it on my own! Victoria snapped, hanging up in frustration without waiting for a reply.
She clenched her phone tightly and pivoted to push the door open, but someone from inside beat her to it, walking out.
Hannah and Victoria came face-to-face.
Victorias expression soured, and she turned to force the door open.
You wouldnt want to further embarrass yourself, would you? I believe its time to put an end to this, Hannah interjected suddenly.
Victorias hand relaxed on the doorknob as she swiveled to confront Hannah with a sharp look. What exactly are you implying?!
Hannah responded calmly, Youre also a student, and Id rather not create a scene. If you leave now, we can both handle this quietly. But if you push forward, it might get messy, and it wont end well for you.

Her brothers earlier phone conversation had already hinted that Pierson might not show up.
Leaving now would seem like a concession that she couldnt bring him, whereas staying might lead to her own humiliation if he indeed failed to appear.
Fuelled by these thoughts, Victoria felt her resentment towards Hannah intensify.
Before she could decide on her next move, Hannah entered the door first, leaving her with a parting comment. Think it over.
Shortly after, Sadie emerged quietly from the room, looking puzzled.
Victoria, is Pierson coming? she inquired.
Hes not coming! Victoria snapped, her face twisting in frustration. Just get everyone out, and lets go.
Taken aback by the sudden turn of events, Sadie surmised that they wouldnt manage to embarrass Hannah today. Thus, she proposed, Victoria, maybe its time we implement the plan I mentioned before to really put her in her place.
Recalling the photos theyd snapped earlier, Victorias resolve hardened.
Edit those photos right away and post them online! I want her to suffer immensely!
Sadies eyes shimmered wickedly as she nodded in agreement. Consider it done, Victoria. She wont even know what hit her!
