Jacey

(This is Jacey)

Orange and yellow posters were plastered all over the walls the next day, announcing the upcoming event in bold brown letters. I looked at my watch and sped up a bit, hoping that this morning would pass without incident so that i could finally meet my homeroom teacher. All of a sudden, Candy magically appeared in front of me. I should be used to this by now, yet i still stumbled back and dropped my stuff.
"Whats up?" she giggled, picking up my books. "Why are you running? Theres still 25 minutes until the bell."
"I-uh, well, actually..."
"So and then Miku walks up to her, and like puh-LEASE...."
"Oh no no no NO..." I muttered. "No...  Candy, where's the nearest bathroom?" Candy, apparently oblivious to the fact that Libby and her cronies were approaching, led me down the hall with a puzzled expression. I rushed into one of the stalls, dragging Candy behind me, shushing her protests. I locked the stall and right at that moment, the door swung open and the shrill voice I heard from the hall continued.
"Crap," I said softly.

Two voices continued talking raving on and on and on about makeup and guys and how Kain was so "ohmigosh drop dead gorgeous." Wait... But Aidan was Libby boyfriend! I nudged Candy over and peeked through the crack between the door and the side of the stall. But instead of a long, blond ponytail i saw dark auburn hair that was a few inches short of the waist. She was talking to a nervous looking girl who gulped every few seconds and continued nodding to everything the other said.
"So, I mean, you totally agree right? He TOTALLY deserved it," the girl with auburn hair said, applying her seventeenth layer of lipstick.
"Yes Jacey," The nervous girl agreed.
I turned to Candy and mouthed "Who's that?" Candy mouthed something back, but I indicated I didn't understand. Candy pursed her lips, but then brightened and quietly unzipped her hot pink backpack. She took out her phone and quickly wrote something out. She handed the phone to me and I read,

That's Jacey Evans. She a grade up but one of Libby's followers. She's one of the best artists in the school, but she mostly draws Libby. It's quite sickening. She has a massive crush on Kain too.

I sucked the breath sharply and the chatter stopped abruptly. I peeked through the crack to see Jacey staring right at me through the mirror. I stumbled back and accidentally stepped on Candy's foot. She let out a whimper, but I clapped my hand over her mouth and pressed us both against the wall. We waited for what felt like an eternity, and yet nothing happened...
"Well well well," said a voice from above. Jacey was evidently standing on the toilet seat of the next stall and leaning over the wall. "Looky who we have here."
