I opened my eyes, it was the first day of school, I hated school so much everyone was scared of me because Moon is my sister, and what hurts most is that I can't seem to convince anyone that I'm not the same as my twin. 

I climbed out of bed and got ready for school, I wore my white crop top with my mom jeans and my Af1s, I combed my long brown hair and pulled it back into a ponytail. 

"Bella come on, Yasmine is waiting for us" I heard Moon yell through my door "Ok Moon I'm coming" I took a deep breath and walked to the big white jeep. 

"Hey Biches" Yasmine smiled and gave Moon a hug, Yasmine and I had never been close we were just so different "Hi Bella," she said and gave me a small smile "Hi Yasmine" 

On the way to school Moon and Yasmine talked about who they would date and all the parties that they would throw, I didn't like when they threw parties because I always ended up cleaning all the rooms. 

I had made a vow to make new friends this year, I didn't want to sit at the table that labeled me as a rich mean girl anymore, I was getting sick of it. 

"So Bella are you gonna try out for cheerleading," Moon asked me "Nah waving pom poms around isn't really my thing," I said looking out the window I could almost hear Yasmine rolling her eyes. 

We pulled up to the entrance of the school and we jumped out of the car, as soon as we walked in the doors people started making clear paths for us and jumping out of the way, I hated how scared of us they were, we were treated like royalty and as Damion would say in Mean Girls we were considered high school royalty. 

We met up with Sam in homeroom which was also English, Moon and Yasmine hugged her hello and I just waved, Sam was nice she always has been but sometimes she does go along with Yasmine and Moon's mean ideas. 

I took a seat next to a girl called Aisha, she and Sam had been friends for years until Sam dropped her for our little group, "Hi Aisha, did you have a good summer" I asked her smiling "Oh uh yeah thanks for asking Bella" Aisha looked away, I couldn't have one normal conversation with anyone other than my three friends. 

The next two periods went by quickly, I still hadn't made any new friends I figured lunch would be my chance. 

I looked around the cafeteria for a different place to sit "Bella what the hell are you doing" Moon asked me "I think I'll sit somewhere else today" I mumbled "It's your loss" Moon laughed and walked away I noticed three boys sitting at a small table, Eli, Demitri and some other kid I had never seen. 

I always loved Eli he was so sweet but along with the rest of the school he feared me, I decided I would sit with them, that is if they let me. 

I walked overhearing Demitri tell the new kid sarcastically that he talks to my friend group all the time and we give each other handjobs, I couldn't help but laugh a little.  

"Hey, can I sit here?" I asked them Demitri looked up at me wide-eyed "you wanna sit with us?" he asked astonished "um yeah, is that ok?" Demitri had gone speechless leaving me standing there awkwardly, just as I was about to walk away the new kid spoke up

"You can sit, I'm Miguel" I smiled "I'm Bella" we know Demitri blurted out I smirked and sat down next to Eli, "why are you sitting with us" Demitri blurted out I knew that question was coming "because I don't like being labeled a stuck up bitch just because of my sister" I answered truthfully, Eli looked at me and I gave him a small smile.

My heart broke when he covered his lip, I didn't care about his lip he was still so cute, "Eli, don't hide your lip" I said softly Demitri gasped "y-you know his name" I tried not to roll my eyes "yes I know his name" I realized they probably thought I only knew his name because my friends make fun of him. 

"shit Yasmine's looking at us," Eli said quietly "probably just making fun of me" I felt so bad My whole group had inflicted so much hurt on everyone at this school, "I don't think she's making fun of you," Miguel said I almost laughed she was definitely talking about Eli "just because their hot doesn't mean they are mean" 

I scoffed and the three of them looked at me "what" Eli asked "nothing" I mumbled then we heard Yasmine loud and clearly "omg you guys" she sneered "you see that guy over there who looks like he went down on a lawnmower, he is literally wearing the ugliest sweater I have ever seen" Eli looked down sadly 

"That is so wrong," Sam said laughing "why is Bella sitting with those losers," Yasmine asked Moon "probably just getting info we can use to make fun of them later," Moon said that made me mad. 

"Oh so that's what you're doing here," Demitri said "well you can go we aren't gonna tell you anything" I was on the verge of tears and I think Eli noticed "whatever Demitri, I was actually trying to make new friends" I threw my food away and left the cafeteria. 

So much for making new friends I heard Miguel say something to them "what the hell Demitri, she wasn't here to be mean" I kept walking trying not to cry I was so done with being me. I just wanted friends, real friends, friends that didn't tell me to watch my calories or that the clothes I picked out were fashionable enough.  

I ran into the bathroom, I started to cry I hated being Moon's sister I wish we weren't related, I also liked Eli so much but I could never be with him. 

I rinsed my face with water trying to make my face less red, Moon would talk to me about this later, I couldn't believe she had done that to me she only thought of me as part of her reputation if I was seen sitting with who she calls losers that would be bad for her.

I walked out of the bathroom and ran into Eli, "oh sorry" I mumbled starting to walk away he had probably never seen me so vulnerable, I always held my head up high. 

"Sorry about Demitri," he said quietly I turned around "he didn't know what he was talking about" I gave him a small smile "thanks Eli, I'll see you soon" I waved and headed to biology.

Just my luck Demitri was my lab partner this would be great. I sat down next to him and tried to hide my red face, "I'm sorry" he said I looked up "it's ok" I sniffed "I'm just not used to having a rich girl talk to me" I laughed "not all of us are the same" he nodded and started working on the assignment. 

I hoped I would be able to sit with them again tomorrow, I liked them and it made me feel better that they didn't tell me not to have chocolate milk every lunch.
