Btw, I didn't make this story up, therefore it's not mine and it's from one of those texting stories thingies called Hooked (on snapchat), i just changed some things and i thought the storyline would be perfect for tratie.

Katie's POV:

Why is there a pair of panties on the flagpole??

I quickly pull up to the parking lot of Goode High school and park my car in the first empty spot i see. Before I head out and meet my sister who was already joining the crowd of students outside the entrance of the school, near the flagpole, I look in the rearview mirror and fix my lipgloss and tighten my ponytail.

Before i open the door of my car to get out, I grab my bag from the passengers seat. I look up and get a better look at the underwear on the flagpole just to discover that they're MINE.

I clench my fists and my blood starts to boil. I know exactly who did this.

Travis Stoll

I find him leaning against the flag pole. Our eyes locks and his mouth morphs into a smirk.

"YOU ARE DEAD"

I storm pass the crowd towards him, but i was stopped by a hand grabbing my arm. And that hand belonged to my sister Miranda.

Even though i tugged hard to get away from her, she didn't let go of my arm. "Katie, take deep breaths"

"Miranda, are you serious?!" I turned towards her "He went too far this time"

She finally let go "I mean, you did fill his backpack with cheetos and charcoal last week"

"How did he even get my underwear?!" I changed the subject "Filthy pervert"

She sighed "How many times do i have to remind you, lock your window at night"

I speed walked towards him before Miranda gets a chance to grab my arm again. I get right into Travis's face.

"You conniving, arrogant little-"

His smirk grows wider. He then proceeds to pull out my matching bra from his back pocket.

"Floral print Katie-kat?" he chuckled "do you always take yourself so seriously?"

My eyes grow wide. When I quickly snatch them back and put them in my back pocket, I hear the students that crowded around us laugh, and I know they're recording us with their phones, they always do.

"You crossed the line!" I yelled at him

"Didn't think you had one" he shrugged "I mean..considering you did break into my house couple days ago"

"To get back my hubcaps that you stole!"

"I wouldn't have stolen them if you hadn't ruined mine!"

We both turn to look at his car. I bedazzled his hubcaps a few weeks ago. I couldn't help but mentally pat myself on the back for that one, one of my best work.

One of Travis's basketball friends come over and slaps him on the back.

"Man, I'm going to miss you two when we graduate." He said in between laughs, referring to the fact that it was the end of the year and me and Travis were both seniors and he was a junior.

I hear a girl call out behind me "Don't let him get away with this Katie! I have 20 bucks that says you kill him next time" That comment earned a laugh from the crowd surrounding her.

But i let her words roll off of me. It's nothing new to me. The warning bell rang and students rushed inside the school, and some took their time, not caring if they were late or not. But I don't budge from my stance and I keep my eyes on Travis.

"You've made us into a laughing stock!" I yelled at him

"Me?! You're the one who started this!" he defended himself

"Five years of your bull crap!" I stomped on the ground like a child "I can't wait to graduate and never see you again"

He smirked and leaned against the flagpole again "I'm counting down the days, sweetheart"

"You're going to pay for this one, Travis" I let Miranda pull me away from him

I'm just about to turn away, but his voice stops me "Twenty one days"

"What?"

"We graduate in three weeks" he walked towards me "Why don't we see who finally deserves to be crowned winner of this prank war?"

"I'm listening"

His smirk grew "We have three ultimate prank weeks...and in the end, whoever pulls off the biggest and best prank wins"

Miranda grabbed my arm again and pulled me harder but i didn't budge "Katie, ignore him. Let's just go, we'll be late-"

I cut her off "I'll win eternal bragging rights? And you'll never bother me again?"

"We'll even wave the white flag"

Miranda spoke up again "Oh no, no. Katie, stop and think about this, it's a bad idea-"

"I'm in"

"Good" He crossed his arms "Just so you know, I won't be going easy on you. I've been waiting for this for years Kates"

"I'm going to bring you to your knees, Stoll"

He winked "I bet you will Gardner"

I glared at him not giving him the satisfaction of to see me blush "You're gonna regret this"

"Looking forward to it, baby" He walked past me and started walking towards to the school.

I look back at him "Good! Because I already know what I'm gonna do."

I hear him laugh.

Ugh

I turn back to Miranda, my eyes wide and filled with panic. "I lied, I have no idea what i'm gonna do"

She shook her head "I can't believe you agreed to do this-"

"I need an idea, a BIG one"

"If you would slow down for a second-"

"Do you think dad's gonna let me borrow his tractor?"

"Katie-"

"No he'd see that coming-"

"You're too impulsive-"

"Oh! Maybe I could hack into his tinder account-"

"You're not listening to me! You-"

I get distracted from her words by the sound of the flagpole wooshing down. I turn around and see Matt Sloane pluck my panties off the pole, then move them into his back pocket. I make a disgusted face and grab them.

"Paws off my undies Sloane"

"Just trying to help" He shrugged and smiled "I've always been on your side"

I heard Miranda scoff behind me and i do the same "Well, Team Katie sends their regards"

Even though my tone was telling him to go away, he doesn't seemed phase, he just stands there.

"I mean it, Stoll's an asshole" His eyes break contact with mine and move down to my lips "And if you need help with anything...you let me know"

Matt walks off but something about his words leave my mind racing. I hear Miranda scoff behind me again. "What a creep, as if you'd ever stoop that low to-"

I turn around to face her with a grin on my face. She stops mid sentence "Wait, why are you making that face"

Because i just thought of a way to destroy Travis

A sure way to win the prank war

I feel my smile grow wider "I think i have an idea"
