Chapter 9


Tuesday

Lunch Break at Pat Dovell high.
Sabrina and her group were seated at the IT table for lunch. One of them was busy with his phone before exclaiming in suprise and awe.



"Omg guys Elavatory is trending on Tiktok look" he said with wonder while showing his phone to the others.


"Elavatory who's that" a cheerleader asked.


"Elena the cow duh who else. After yesterday you'd think to know that her name has been upgraded." Another cheerleader said sipping her pepsi.


" You mean downgraded co's now she's a waste. Get it co's she's Elavatory". A jock chuckled while chewing on his Hamburger.



"O no, I'm the one who's supposed to trend on tiktok I've been trying for a while now, it's so not fair". Stacy said with annoyance, while crossing her arms. She had been trying all summer for a chance to be an influencer and now, someone who didn't even try had beaten her.



"Shut up Stacy no one cares about your silly dance steps, and get ready with me is so overrated". Darcy rolled her eyes upon hearing Stacy complaint.



She(Stacy) had been unbearable this past summer. Filming whatever she laid her eyes on. Even her dance moves were pretty lame and that's saying something. And her 'get ready with me' was just plain trash.



"But seriously thou i haven't seen Elavatory at all today. Do you think she's already... you know Elevated". Laughter ensures from everyone seated in the group. Jimmy (Sabrina's boyfriend in chapter 1) was clenching his hands very tight. He was trying to contol his anger.



"Yeah she might as well have. I mean who wouldn't when the whole school literally pissed on you, no pun intended" Another said ensuring another round of laughter.




Even Sabrina couldn't hold her laughter. "Elevated that's a good one. We should probably post a follow up video then, since she's now an Enfluencer"



Puns upon puns were being made about Elena. She really has been degraded. As they all kept laughing Jimmy couldn't stand it anymore. He slammed his arms on the table.



"How could you all say things like that and think it's funny. Don't you have a conscience. Are your hearts that hardened that a girl who might have been bullied enough to commit suicide simply amuses you "



Sabrina was stunned. Why was Jimmy standing up for Elena. "Are you being fu**ing serious right now " she asked. "Elena not only disrespected me but she almost destroyed the trust i had in Darcy yesterday. And now you are taking her side? Excuse me but are you my boyfriend or Elena's cause you sure aren't acting like it"



"Rina please stop. Don't use that on me, stop trying to victimise yourself. Not everything is about you. This girl may have taken her life as a result of the humiliation she suffered yesterday. Don't you feel a little guilty knowing you were the one to push her over the edge. I have always told you to stop with your..."



"Jim, if you don't stop talking about Elena, we're going to have a problem". The whole table was silent, things were escalating real quick and it wasn't in a good way. Stacy tried to get things back on a good note.



"Hey guys, don't we have like a party on Friday to prepare for, It's going to be fire. Sabrina what are you gonna wear let's go shopping, Will you come with us Jim". Jimmy was truly amazed by what he was hearing.



"That's the only thing you guys can ever think of. Parties and having fun, what about the girl you almost killed yesterday, don't you think she deserves more. How could you guys who calls yourselves humans do that to a person, to a girl for that matter. You have destroyed her life, she's literally on Tiktok, how do you expect her to live. Not only that, you gave her degrading nicknames all in the name of having fun. Are you out of your minds".



Jimmy was panting heavily, he could not continue to be with these set of people. His parents taught him well. He thought he could change Sabrina, he thought that she would be able to be a better person, he tried his best but look at what that got him. A girl who may have committed su**ide out of depression.



If only he was strong enough to stop it. Yesterday he was a coward, he couldn't say anything, he was there but silent. He let it happen, he had chosen Sabrina.



He may not have done anything to Elena but he knows that he also had a hand in killing her, he just loves Sabrina so much. Jimmy have always decided to look sideways when Sabrina bullied anyone. He told himself that it was fine, he would change her, Everything was fine. He deluded himself into thinking that way.



How could he leave Sabrina. She was so perfect for him, she is smart, beautiful, her eyes were like a pair of blue gemstones he could lose himself in. But now, he couldn't ignore this, Elena wasn't at school today.




She might be dead. And it's all his fault. He has to end this. "Sabrina, i don't think we can..."



"Don't you dare, don't say another word. If you do i will never forgive you Jim i swear". Sabrina was furious, Jimmy wanted to break up with her, for The COW. What the f**k, was this some kind of bad tv show.



Her Jimmy was going to abandon her. "Let's all calm down" Darcy immediately stepped in. Darcy knew she had to save the day, she can and she will, her damage control was the best.



"Everyone back to your classes nothing to see here" Darcy immediately signaled all to move along. Everyone in the cafeteria left expect Sabrina and Jimmy. Sabrina was grateful of Darcy's smart thinking.




"Now let's both calm down and talk this through" Sabrina said to Jimmy They all stood in silence for a while.



"Why would you want to break up Jimmy, i thought what we have was special. Do you really want to throw away all that we had". Sabrina was really saddened by the thought, Jimmy is her first and only boyfriend, her first love, she loves him just as much as he did.But it looks like she was wrong about him loving her.



Jimmy could feel the pain in Sabrina's eyes, he didn't want her to be in pain, but how could he forgive himself, an innocent life may be at stake.



"Rina I'm sorry , i really don't care about Elena, heck i don't even care about any other girls. But i can't stand the fact that you might have gone overboard, I honestly can't overlook that. My conscience won't let me". Jimmy moved forward to hold Sabrina, he didn't want to do this but he couldn't continue to overlook things.



"So you're choosing your conscience over me Jim, is that what you're saying" Sabrina muttered softly with tears in her eyes.



"Look at me and say it, say that you want to break up to make yourself feel better, you said you would stand by me even when am wrong, but look at you now. I want to see your face when you break your promise to me, but just so you know Jim, if you do this, there will be no turning back ".




Jimmy was in pain, he really had to choose now, he always knew this day would come. Sabrina was someone who didn't care about anyone but herself, but then she fell in love with him and their love story was magical. But, Sabrina's pride made her do things that he couldn't accept.



But he decided to pretend that everything was fine, that he could change her. He knew he was deceiving himself, he knew that he would have to confront her. But he thought he could avoid it, now he really has to choose.



Sabrina or his morals.
