KALANI WANG wouldn't consider herself a bitch. Not once had she ever lashed out on some prior to the incident in the hallway with Margot. She was probably the nicest out of her friend group. Fabiola probably had her beat but that's neither here nor there.

But, Kalani could consider herself to be stupid at times. Not academically stupid, of course. More so, living her life stupid, you know.

She broken up with a guy because of her insecurities, had sex with a guy she loved and he didn't say the big L-word back, and her best male friend was away in college... that last part has nothing to do with her being stupid, but Jacob always told Kalani the truth. He wouldn't hold back on whether or not she was being delusional, dense, or stupid... he was honest like that.

But Kalani Wang wouldn't never consider herself to be a stupid bitch. Calling someone a stupid bitch was such a low bar. Like, how are you stupid and a bitch?

Someone at that damn school thought Kalani was a stupid bitch and she had her high suspicions; but for now, stood with her arms crossed, eyes brimming with tears, and Doc Martens killing her feet as her and Meredith stared at the words one the side of her car.

"This is dad's car." Kalani muttered.

The conversation of Kalani's parents had never really been discussed. And that's because neither of the Wang siblings wanted to talk about it.

Mr. and Mrs. Wang weren't around. They weren't there for Meredith and they weren't there for Kalani.

The closest parental figure that Kalani had was Jodie and Meredith. Which said a lot because one of them just so happened to be fictional.

Kalani and Meredith couldn't really tell you what happened to their parents. They just upped and left one day. Mr. Wang first and Mrs. Wang following after.

And for some time, their grandmother watched them before passing on due to old age.

It had always been Kalani and Meredith and whatever their parents had left behind.

And this car was one of the last things that Kalani had of his. Yes, he left her. She was angry, but this car held good memories and now it was tainted with stupid bitch on the side.

Meredith looked over at her younger sister, her arms crossed over her chest as she looked back over at the car.

"Come on." Meredith called, "I'm going to fix this."

Expect, Kalani didn't really know who damaged her car. Truly, she had an idea of who could've done it, but they had just made up. So why the hell would Margot vandalize her car?

"Welcome, Mr. Ramos, Ms. Wang, I understand we have some very serious allegations to discuss." Principal Grubbs smiled.

"It's criminal." Meredith corrected.

"Look, look, Mrs. Grubbs, I'm sorry this happened. But my daughter would never vandalize a car. She's a well-behaved young woman." Mr. Ramos spoke.

"Well-behaved?" Meredith questioned, "Are you saying my sister isn't? Your daughter threatened to beat my sisters ass with no hesitation two days ago."

"Only because your sister yelled expletives at her about male genitalia."

"That doesn't matter! It's not a crime to shout about someone's circumcised dick. Your daughter has the clearest motive to vandalize the car."

"Motive? What do you think this is, SVU?"

Margot sighed, "Principal Grubbs, I swear I didn't do it. First off all, my handwriting is much better than this. Who crosses their Ts that low? And this happened at the end of the day? I have a double period with Ms. Nuni then, so I couldn't have done it."

"Well, we'll be conducting our own investigation."

"I just want to know who vandalized my car." Kalani spoke, "Whether or not—"

"You're just jealous because Ben chose me." Margot scoffed.

"I thought you wanted to get over that." Kalani said, "We patched that shit up, did we not?"

"Wait, this is about Ben?" Meredith asked, "Ben Gross? Your ex?"

"Girl, that's what I said." Principal Grubbs smiled.

After the meeting, Meredith and Kalani made their way out of the office and towards the double doors leading out of the school.

"All right, Lani, I'll have the car painted over if that's fine with you. Unless you want a new car."

Mind you, Meredith was a personal stylist for various different celebrities... if she or Kalani wanted something, they could have it.

"The paint job is fine." Kalani sighed, "Thanks."

Meredith softly smiled, "Don't sweat it. I'll catch you at home."

Kalani waved Meredith goodbye and turned, colliding into someone.

"I'm so sorry." Kalani sighed, bending down to pick up the things that had fallen on the floor.

"You're good." The voice chuckled, "You're Kalani, right? The girl with stupid bitch on her car?"

Kalani looked up and her eyes locked with none other than Nick Buckley. He was best friends with Ethan Morales since middle school, you know, before the glow up.

"Yeah. Guess that's what I'm going by now." She joked.

The two of them stood to their feet, Kalani passing Nick's belonging to him.

Nick smiled, "Hey, I'm sorry about that, by the way."

Kalani furrowed her brows, "Not like you had anything to do with it. Unless... you're saying that you do?"

"Nah... no." Nick said, "I don't think you're a stupid bitch, is all."

Kalani softly smiled, "Well, thanks."

A small silence grew over them and Kalani ran her through her hair.

"Well, it was nice seeing you, but I've got places to be." She smiled, "See you around."

She gave Nick a small smile before leaving his side.

He looked back, watching as Kalani rounded the corner.

He was smitten with her.

Kalani soon meet up with Fabiola, Devi, and Eleanor in study hall. Eleanor was explaining that she was finally moving on from Trent.

After the proposal that she quickly said no to, Trent decided to call it quits with her even when she didn't want to break up.

Eleanor was going to have "that sizzling beefsteak" known as Ethan and/or Nick. Whoever she could get her hands onto first.

"Ethan? Really? I mean, I get that he's hot, but he's also kind of a degenerate." Devi said, "And Nick is a puppy that's tied to a string that follows him around."

"You can't just give up on Trent." Kalani said, "He seemed really upset about everything that went down."

"He doesn't wanna be with me. He's made that very clear. And as Dua Lipa said, the best way to get over someone is to get under someone else."

"I don't think she said that."

"She did, Lani. It's one of her rules." Eleanor smiled, "Also, look at them. They're beautiful, they're dangerous, and it feels like there's always a wind hitting them somehow."

"It seems scientifically impossible, but I do see it." Fabiola said.

After that, the girls separated and through Devi, Kalani found out that Ethan had vandalized her car and got Margot out of being suspend.

Kalani stood by her locker, rummaging to find something for her next class.

She stood next to Ben as he did the same in silence.

"Hey." She softly smiled.

But he didn't respond. He didn't even bother to look at her.

"Okay." She muttered, "Good afternoon to you too."

"Listen, Kalani, Margot asked me not to speak to you anymore." Ben said.

"What? Over my car?" She asked, "I had every right to believe that she would do that."

"She's upset about what when down and I'm going to respect that."

Kalani scoffed, "Okay, Ben."

She shut her locker, the slamming sound not bypassing them.

All because she made a small mistake in her judgment? Kalani had every right to think that Margot had some sort of vendetta against her.

School day was over anyway. Kalani got into her car, with the stupid bitch shit still in her car and made her way home.

She wouldn't be able to get the spray paint off until tomorrow.

Until she wouldn't.

Nightfall loomed over the Wang household and as Kalani was making her way to get a snack from the kitchen, she saw someone standing by her car.

She peaked out the window and grabbed the baseball bat they kept by the door.

She opened the front door and the person turned at the sound.

It was Nick Buckley.

"Holy shit, dude." Kalani sighed, "What are you doing?"

"Oh!" Nick exclaimed, "You're friend Devi came over and told Ethan to fix your car, but he kept going on about how hot she was when he yelled at her, so I decided to come and fix it instead."

Kalani began to make her way towards him, dragging the bat behind her.

"Why?"

"Why? Because I was the one who thought this was that bitch ass teacher's car. She kept saying how fancy her shit was and this was the fanciest car in the lot." He answered, "So, this is my apology. For having you drive in this. Because you're not a stupid bitch... from what I've seen at least. Plus, you're cute, so why not."

"Thank you." She sighed, "How are you gonna fix?"

Nick held a bottle on his hands, shaking it with a smile, "Eleven dollars from Walmart."

This was the beginning of the end for Kalani's drought.

Her new plan?

To fuck Nick Buckley.
