After Alex took me back to my room, he
asked, “You hate your brother that much?”
I nodded. “I want him dead.”
Alex gave me a strange look but didn’t try to
talk me out of it.
I licked my lips. “Do you think Crystal and my
brother are perfect for each other?”
Alex nodded immediately. “They’re trash.”
I smiled. “Then let’s give them an opportunity
to become trashy together!”
When the weather got cold, Wu Industries
went bankrupt, and Nick didn’t have any
money to play around with Crystal anymore.
When Nick was around, Crystal would bully
other people, but now that she was
defenceless, they were all out for revenge.
I had some of my guys corner her in an alley
and beat her up.
Then I went in to save the day and asked her
to come over to my house.
I was her only friend, and she wasn’t about to
turn that down.
She said, “Let’s be friends! You are a better
friend than any girl in the school!.”
She started fawning all over me.
I smiled. “That’s the spirit! The old you is
dead! We can start over Crystall ”
Г
She was begging me.
I handed her a dress and told her to go take a
bath in my brother’s room.
He had just moved in and was not used to the
room, so I was able to convince him to let her
use the shower, not knowing the master plan!
“Oh thank God, I will be done soon! You guys
have the softest towels!.” Crystal said
through the door.
The room was so cold, but it was a perfect
plan!
I held out my hand. “Alex, you lost.”
Alex put his allowance in my hand. “You know
く
people better than I do.”
I smiled softly. “I know what it means to be
cruel!”

That night, Crystal ate dinner at our house,
and she was back to being a sweet little
flower again.
I talked her up. “Crystal is a hard worker, and
she’s not giving up on her dreams.”
“She’s really nice, and she has a great
personality. Everyone likes being around her.
A lot of guys want to date her.”
“But she’s picky. She doesn’t like just any
guy.”
Alex handed her some food and said, “Don’t
eat the spicy food.”
Crystal looked surprised, and my brother
looked like he had already won.
I swallowed my smile and started making
moves.
Billy and Crystal started dating, and my
parents weren’t happy about it.
But Billy said she was the love of his life.
Then, Billy looked at Alex, who had his head
down.
Billy was set on marrying her now.
Mom and Dad finally gave in.
Crystal got pregnant soon after that!
Dad was stoked. “That’s my boy! We’re going
to have a baby! If it’s a boy, I’m giving Crystal
a million dollars!”
Crystal’s eyes lit up. “Thank you, Uncle.”
Mom looked at her belly and smiled.
I said, “Since Crystal’s pregnant, why don’t we
have a wedding? Then Billy can introduce
himself to everyone again.”
They loved that idea, and they booked the
wedding.
“Billy basn’t done anything with bic life
“Billy hasn’t done anything with his life.
Maggie is smart, but she’s a girl, so we can’t
give her the company. If Crystal’s kid is a boy,
we’ll give him the company. If not, then we’ll
just keep trying until we have a boy.”
“I know the company is doing well because of
Maggie, but she’s not a boy. It is what it is.”
I scoffed.
You want a present?
I’ve got one for you.

The wedding was last minute, but everything
was super fancy.
I said to Alex, “This is a pretty sick wedding.”
Alex looked at the USB drive in my hand and
chuckled. “You still going to destroy it?”
I looked at my brother and raised my glass of
juice to meet his.
I took a sip and smirked. “Otherwise they’ll
never learn!”
The wedding march started, and Billy and
Crystal walked in hand in hand.
Billy and Mom gave speeches, and they
started crying.
Alex unwrapped a Starburst and handed it to

Alex unwrapped a Starburst and handed it to
- me.
I laughed. “I’m not a kid anymore.”
He stuck it in my mouth. “It’s sweet.”
I stuck out my tongue and gave him a wink.
“It is sweet.”
He grabbed my face and stuffed the whole
thing in my mouth.
I rubbed my cheek.
Looks like the bad boy couldn’t be a softy.
I walked backstage.
You guys have fun in the dirt, I can only take

In the background, Alex started crying. “Oh
Maggie, you are doing this!”
I smiled. “Do I do things big, or what!”
Moments before the doors were open, and
everyone started gathering, I locked myself in
a room and waited.

Moments before the ceremony began, I went
behind the projector and replaced the
slideshow with a video of Crystal and Nick
that Alex got with his connections.
Right as the priest came in, I laughed. “And
we’ll see what happens now.”
And then as the video started to play
く
began. Crystal looked like she was dying, and
a few minutes later, as planned, so did Billy!
The police were here and the crowd was
laughing in my favour!
I did what I needed to do!
With the wedding in shambles, crystal lost the
baby after a rough night and was paralysed.
“You will never have a partner ever again.” I
said as she was taken out of the emergency.
Billy was sent to jail for ten years for assault
and battery.
It looked like mom would have to pay but she
<
She
IL TOUKEU like TOITI WOUIU have to pay Du decided to pull off. “I’m his mother but I didn’t raise him. He is on his own.” Mom said.
Mom had a concussion. Dad was given new
teath.
I came in and was on cloud nine.
I made things right as always.
After graduation, Alex told me “I would never
be so cruel.”
I said “People are who they are.”
The night was perfect and I can finally live my
life now!
Crystal was sent to a mental institute as planned. She was never heard of again.
Billy hung himself in prison. His last words
were “It was all worth it.”
I decided to donate mom and dad to the
hospital and let them rest.
I went outside to find flowers and the sun was
shining. What a great day it was!
