Popularity demon

chapter2

(*)JENNIFER (*)

'Turn up the music, just turn it up louder!' I sang, my voice going in perfect synch with Chris brown’s as I got ready for my first day of school. Most people would be groaning and moaning but I was really excited.

 New Year meant

1) New kids and new kids meant new friends

 2) A new room-mate

 3) New teachers.

 I was especially excited about the last part coz last year I had the worst English teacher, who would always ruin the suspense of the story.

 You must be thinking I’m some kind of loner. But actually I’m pretty popular. My so called 'friends' hang out with me only because they want to get popular. They want to be called as “Jennifer's BFF”. I shook my head and started tying the laces to my red and black converse to complete my uniform. I grab my bag as the music is still blasting in the background through my beat box. I really didn't feel like having breakfast coz I was way too excited to meet the new kids so I grabbed a banana since I was late it would save me time to go to the cafeteria. Switching off my beatbox, I locked my dorm room behind me and securely placed my keys in my bag and walked to school taking my own time.

 As I ate my banana I thought about all my past 'best friends', well you cannot call them your best friends if they leave you, can you? My first best friend was in kindergarten we were pretty good friends until the fourth grade when she suddenly stopped talking to me and started hanging out with the 'popular kids'. You see I wasn't popular back then. Few days later I got a new best friend but she was way too proud and annoying so I stopped talking to her. I made a few best friends after that but they were all huge wannabe's and if there's one thing I hate more than seafood, its wannabe's.

 Last year was especially hard for me since my elder sister was leaving to college- she was my best and only friend and also my sister. Her leaving for college meant her being busy in college work; it also meant I wouldn't be able to see her for a long time because our holidays seemed to be during different times.

 As I left the dormitory building I made my way towards the main school building taking my own time, girls all around were making their way to the school building as well, on spotting a dustbin I throw my peel in it, as I was going to reach for the doors, when suddenly I felt pain in my stomach I held my stomach which was eating itself I groaned in pain and frustration

Argh! Why is my stomach paining like a bi*ch?

I made my way towards the nearest restroom to check myself.

 Is it because I skipped breakfast today?

 'Aaahhhh' I screamed in frustration

 After entering the nearest washroom I find an empty stall. I realized I had got my periods and that’s why it was paining so fuc*ing much!

OF ALL THE FUC*ING DAYS I HAD TO GET MY PERIODS ON THE FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL!!

After I did what I needed I walk towards the basin with huge mirror, I washed my hands rolling up my sleeves, untucked my shirt a little and messed up my already messy short dark hair. I adjusted my vogue geeky glasses and smirked in satisfaction, as I stepped out of the restroom.

 As I was walking along the hallways I saw a few girls give me fake smiles I smirked at them as I continued to my first period English not bothering to stop by my locker because I didn’t want to walk anymore or my stomach ache would get worse. As enter the class girls suddenly started swarming around me all calling my name.

“Jenny how were you holidays?”

“Jenny you didn't reply to my mail”

“Jenny do you like this bracelet?”

“Jenny my mom said I could have a hairstyle similar to yours.”

Everybody shut the f*ck up or I will beat the living shit out of you all

I thought. Obviously I couldn’t say that? I plastered a fake smile on my face feeling a bit proud about the attention I was getting but acted like their attention meant nothing to me

 First I had to get my period then I get swarmed by wannabe's could this day get any worse? I mean who the fuck cares about your bracelet? And as for your hair you could go bald for all I care.

I glanced back to my so called friends, they looked shocked while few had knowing looks, I ignored their looks as I scanned the room hoping to see some new kids.

Anyone of the new kids could be my roommate. But there wasn’t anyone new when I saw a girl reading a book she looked new so I took a seat next to her. I put my head down and tried to calm myself from anger as well as surprise.

 I wasn't actually aggressive or violent I, was known for being the most hyper girl and rarely snapped at anyone.

Your just PMSing Jenny calm down.

Remembering about the new girl, I turned ready to introduce myself but I saw the seat next to me was empty and found the girl sitting at the very back.

Great now I spoil my reputation in front of newcomers! Way to go Jennifer!

“Hello girls! How are you all? “ says a cheerful voice, I turn my head towards the front of the class and notice a middle aged lady holding some books giving all the girls a genuine smile.

“Good morning everyone, I am your new English teacher and my name is Mrs.Stella White, you can call me Stella”

On seeing her everyone makes their way towards the nearest seat after around two minutes of shuffling and pushing everyone’s seated.

“So, class since today is the first day I will not teach anything.” The class bursts into excitement on the teacher’s comment.

Stella raises her hand gesturing us to stay silent. “Hush everyone, I want all of you to introduce yourself, your hobbies, your ambition.“ after looking around the class she continues. “I’ve heard that there are some new students in this class, how about the newcomers introduce themselves first, so let’s see…….Ms.Thalia Norman, would you please come up here and introduce yourself” she says looking at a paper which probably has the names of the newcomers.

The girl I just spotted earlier makes her way towards the front and turns towards the class.

“Hi my name is Thalia, I have no siblings unfortunately um….and um… my hobbies are fashion designing um….. Reading? And um… My ambition is to become a NASA scientist…and uh….. I am looking forward to be friends with you all, thanks.” She says looking around nervously, feeling uncomfortable under everyone’s gaze.

So the new girl is Thalia? Not much of a huge deal if she comes to be my roommate! But still I need to keep an eye out for other new kids, anyone could end up being my roommate anyone, hope they are not some dorks or unhygienic specimens! Oh Sharon why did you have to leave for college why?

“Thank you Thalia, now you may go back to your place” turning towards the class she continues, “so now the new girl has introduced herself, hope you all will make her feel comfortable here, so  now why not all the other girls introduce themselves to Thalia? Come on, you over there” she points to a girl sitting to my right.

Aarrgh!! Can this day just get over fast I want to go back to my room and watch anime. And meet my new roommate.
