Two-way Backfire

Natalie angrily marched her way over to where Mark and Beth were standing, her face red in humiliation and rage.

"... So then, Natalie goes into the boys changing room at the gym, completely naked," Beth lied as Natalie approached, "and then she says to the entire volleyball team - "

"What the absolute hell do you think you're doing?!" Natalie shouted, cutting Beth off before she could utter a single word while getting the attention of the party. The woman shook in rage as Beth gave her a convincing smile.

"Oh, hey, Nat!" Beth replied, wrapping an arm around Mark's shoulder as she watched the chubby nerd's blood boil. "I was just entertaining Mark here with some of our - Well, your hilarious antics in our senior year of high school."

"You and I went to two separate high schools!" Natalie snarled at the other woman before turning her attention to Mark, "Mark! Don't listen to a single word this... This... Lying bitch told you! Here's what really -"

"Natalie!" Beth gasped, feigning a look of hurt as she subtlety gestured to one of her cronies before gesturing to Natalie's bikini. "I'm shocked that you would call me that! We've been best friends since the playpen, and you are letting your jealousy get the best of you because you wanted Mark all to yourself?!"

"Oh, cut the crap!" Natalie barked in anger, unaware of Beth's friend sneaking up on her. "I'm on to you now, Beth! Giving me this bikini and making me look like a harlot just so you can swoop in and steal my man from me!"

"You're man?!" Mark asked, shock and disbelief in his voice.

Having realized what she just said, all the anger vanished from Natalie's face as she turned back to Mark. "T-That's not what I meant, Mark!" She said defensively.

"Honestly, Natalie!" Beth scoffed, staring at the chubby woman as she feigned disappointment. "You're acting like Mark here is some kind of trophy!"

"You stay out of this!" Natalie screamed, unaware of the other woman who was right behind her and gently tugging on the strings holding her bikini together. "You are nothing more than a lying, backstabbing, coldhearted, evil little sl-"

"Shut up, Natalie!" Mark yelled, narrowing his eyes as the woman in question looked towards him in genuine hurt. "You are not the girl I thought you were! You are mean, cruel, shallow, and you're no different from any other girl I met! I'm just so...." He grunted in frustration before shaking his head, "I can't believe that I used to actually like you. Or that I even considered asking you out."

Natalie gasped in horror, her eyes widening as she brought her hand to her mouth while tears welled up in her eyes. Mark liked her? Mark liked her enough to consider asking her out? And because of this misunderstanding and Beth's lies... Oh no!

Beth, on the other hand, was completely ecstatic. This whole night was working out even better than she had hoped. And as she saw her friend wink and slowly back away from Natalie, the girl knew that it was about to get even better.

"Not to mention she's completely ****!" Beth added, feigning a look of disgust at Natalie. "Why, I bet she was using that whole "wedgie" excuse just so she could loosen her bikini in a pathetic attempt to seduce you!"

"Shut up! I was not!" Natalie screamed, on the verge of tears as she stomped her foot in a mixture of hurt and anger...

Allowing her bikini bottoms and top to fall to the ground.

Natalie looked down at herself and screamed. She was naked! She blushed like crazy as she slapped an arm over her breasts and wedged a hand between her leg as she heard the laughter and comments roll in.

"Wow! The fat ass really was ****!"

"I mean, with a body like that, I'd be too!"

"She wasn't actually trying to seduce Mark like that was she?!"

Natalie looked around at the crowd, laughing at her and recording her humiliation on their phones. She looked over to Mark but saw that he merely frown and shook his head at her. He really wasn't going to help her.

"Told you." Beth said nonchalantly.

Natalie couldn't take it anymore. Taking a deep breath, the chubby nerd threw her head back and wailed loudly, turning away as she ran through the crowds to get away.

"I can't believe that Natalie's really like that..." Mark said as he watched the chubby woman run off.

"Yeah, you think you know a girl." Beth commented, smirking evilly as she watched her fat ruined nerd of a rival run away crying. This was her chance to swoop in and claim her prize. Clearing her throat, Beth turned to Mark with a more sincere smile. "But I'm not like that, Mark. And I would like to get to know you better, if that's okay. Does next Friday sound good for a first date?"

"Sorry, Beth. You're fun to hang around with, but you're not my type."

Beth's smile slowly vanished as a look of rage came to her face. All that work she did into making her rival look terrible, at this was what she got in return?!

"What the freaking hell, you moron?!" Beth screeched.
