--- CHAPTER 9 --- College Drama ~ First ActSim State University is known as the best University in SimNation and is the first choice of higher education for most of the Pleasantview teens.
Lillith was able to keep a steady C grade thanks to Angela’s tutoring. But this didn’t mean they had actually learned how to get along. Angela’s tutoring was to make sure Lillith would keep her mouth shut about her nightly visits to Dustin Broke. Her sister had resorted to black mail and she resented Lillith for it. Lillith’s views of Angela hadn’t changed either. She still felt that Angela was a shallow and egotistical diva wannabe. All she ever cared about was herself. So even though they both decided to go to Sim State University both girls made very sure they would get into different dorms. Lillith ended up in the Wysteria Hall Dormitory together with Dirk Dreamer and Alexander Goth. While Angela stayed in the Birch Manor Dormitory together with Dustin Broke.
Usually, when the girls accidently ran into each other at community outings, they would stick to angry glances at each other. And sometimes would even a exchange little insults, like wicked witch and drama queen. But not this time. For some reason seeing Lillith this time made Angela decided she needed to put her sister in her place and play a little rough.
Viciously Angela lashed out at Lillith. “Why do you dress like such a freak! It’s not a crime to wear some color you know. Your such a drama queen. Don’t deny you grew up in a warm and loving home. It’s not our fault you don’t have any personality!” Lillith was hurt by Angela’s nasty remarks. Warm and loving home. Yeah, they were warm and loving to little miss perfect Angela alright. But Lillith never felt anything but a big disappointment. “You’re not the one to talk about fashion sense Angela!” Unable to hold her tears back, Lillith hurried to another part of Sim State University Community Center.
Lillith stumbled into the bar section and there she saw an interesting diversion, Alexander Goth. Lillith and Dirk had grown apart ever since she grew up into a young adult. Her interests had changed. She no longer craved to be acknowledged by other people, instead she enjoyed expanding her knowledge. After she decided to major in science, she became study buddy to Alexander who chose the same major. The last couple of months they had become closer and closer.
Alexander noticed that something was wrong with Lillith. “Are you okay? You know a beautiful girl like you shouldn’t frown so much.” Alexander gently stroke Lillith's cheek. It made her feel all warm and fuzzy inside. Of course Angela walked in at exactly the wrong time.
Pleased with the new ammunition her sister had provided, Angela lashed out again. “Gads, I should have known you would pull a stunt like this. How can you go behind Dirk’s back and flirt with every guy you can get your hands on? That’s just so low Lillith, even for someone like you.”
It wasn’t long before Dirk found out something was going on and his girlfriend Lillith was somehow involved. When he went to see what was going on, Angela took her chance and immediately started telling her side of the story. “Oh, Dirk, I’m so sorry that you have to find out like this and that I have to be the one to break this sad news to you. But I can’t just sit back and not do anything when I see that one of friends is being cheated on. You know our family past don’t you? Well, it seems that Lillith inherited more than our fathers red hair. She cheated on you Dirk!”
Dirk knew he and Lillith were not as much in love anymore as when they were still teens. Angela’s words were enough for him to ask some nasty questions. “How can you do this to me! I don’t deserve this, I always was kind and loving to you. I helped you go through the rough period after your dad left your family. And this is how you repay me? By cheating?”
By now Lillith had been pushed around enough. She wasn’t going to apologize and she definitely wasn’t going to hold back anymore. “How could I do this to YOU! Come on Dirk. I wasn’t the only one that decided to let this relationship die a silent death. The fact that you chose Angela’s side on this one says it all. And did you really think I don’t know about you and Katerina Pederson? I’m not a fool Dirk.”
Dirk knew Lillith was right. He had let her down. Ever since he met Katerina, he knew his relationship with Lillith had been only puppy love. He had been talking with Katerina before the incident and not with Lillith. He had let this happen.
Silently, both ex-lovers went their own way. Lillith left for the bathroom to hide her tears, while Dirk left together with Katerina. Everyone around them had just stood there, stunned by the drama that had happened right before their eyes.
Will Lillith be able to forgive Angela for what she has done? Can Alexander find the courage to declare his love for Lillith? And why is Angela picking fights?Find out in the next chapters of Pleasantview Soapbox!
