Tera snorts. "You have no idea what you're talking about."
"Don't I? They didn't take you in when your mom overdosed? Your mom was a crackhead and a whore who didn't give two shits about you. Youaretrash," Amy says, poking Tera in the chest.
Tera's eyes narrow. "First, my mom didn't do crack. It was heroin. Second, they didn't take me in when she died, they took me in years before that. Third, and this is something you wouldn't know becauseyou don't know me, but I have money. You see, my dad was wealthy, which means my mom was wealthy. She may have been a drug addict, but she wasn't trash and neither am I. You might want to get your facts straight before you start running your cock-sucking mouth."
Amy's eyes widen. "You don't know what you're talking about either."
I can see the fear in Amy's eyes now and I know Tera's going to reveal to the entire cafeteria what she knows. An eye for an eye and all that.
"Oh, I know plenty," Tera says, stepping up into Amy's space. Amy flinches. "You think I don't know you tried to fuck Carter when we were together? Yeah, I know about that, because the thing you don't get about guys like Carter and Xan? They don't like cheap sluts like you. They like girls with morals and integrity. Neither of them knew I had money and you flaunt yours—yet they. Both. Chose. Me."
"You bitch!" Amy sneers.
Tera laughs. "And let's not forget how you blew half the football team."
"You're a liar," Amy counters.
"No, I'm not. When you're with your quarterback boyfriend enough, his friends forget that you're just his girl. They treat you like one of them and they talk abouteverything. So,youmight want to be more careful when you're whoring around. All that talk makesyousound liketrash," Tera sneers.
I'm so hot for her right now. I'm not kidding. I'm hard. Holy shit, she's amazing.
"You're the trash! You may have money but you're a nobody! Just some bitch who's fucking her way through—"
And that's it. Tera cuts her off with a slap to the face. Amy's hand flies up to her cheek, her eyes wide.
"You will watch what you say," Tera bites out between her teeth, her face right in Amy's.
Amy cocks out her hip and I hear Linc chuckle. Stupid girl.
"Or what?"
"Or I'm going to make you eat your own words. I'm going to shove them back down your throat with my fist—probably along with a few teeth," Tera mocks.
"See? Youaretrash!"
Crack! One-hitter quitter.
Blood pours from Amy's mouth… but she still hasn't learned.
With a screech, she lobs a fist toward Tera. Tera blocks it with an arm, just as we taught her, and uses the other to throw a jab at Amy's face. Now blood sprays everywhere.
"You bitch! You broke my nose!" Amy screams.
"I warned you," Tera says.
"You're going to pay for this," Amy cries out as she runs from the cafeteria.
"Miss Weisman. Go to the health room," Principal Abrams commands. "Miss Ramirez? My office. Now."
Tera meets my gaze and I laugh.
"That was sexy as hell!" I tell her.
"We taught her well," Linc says, coming up behind us and patting Tera on the back.
Jesse grabs Tera, lifts her, and spins her around. "Is it wrong that I'm hard right now?”
"On so many levels," Tera answers. "You guys are sick. How you're aroused from that, I just don't understand."
