The BIG Ten

Chapter 1

Makayla's POV

"Kay Kay!! Get down here, we have to go!!"

"Almost done!" I bit my lip, and slid my binder into my lavender backpack. I carelessly zipped it up and threw it on. Then, I grabbed my A+ project, smiling. Technically, it wasn't an A+ project, yet. Today I was turning it in to be graded.

I rushed down the stairs. My BFF, Bree Hudson, was on her phone, as she always is. I coughed. She looked up at me and grinned.

"Finally!!" She put her phone away in her pocket.

"Alright, alright! I get it! I took a while! Would you help me here?"

She sighed and grabbed my project. I nodded to her and rushed over to my kitchen table to grab my lunch. We headed out the door, down my driveway.

I put my project in Bree's trunk, next to hers. She didn't put much effort into it. She had a white mini trifold with some black and white pictures, really tiny text, and little sections that were copied off the internet. That would probably get her a B or a C.

I sat up in the front next to her. We listened to some Pop on the way to our High School. Once she parked, she threw me the keys and ran up to her boyfriend. I felt my face burn. I had a major crush on Corey James. Was it wrong to like your best friend's boyfriend?

No, no. Of course not.

Whatever, I got out of her car and got my project. I decided to leave hers in the car, I'm sure she wouldn't mind.

As I passed Bree, she noticed me and stuck her arm out, still watching her boyfriend talk. I placed her keys in her hand, and glanced at Corey. Total fan girl moment. I shook. I froze. I think I drooled. I stood there like an idiot with an stupid smile on my face. Corey turned my way.

"Hey Makayla!" He waved. I quickly wiped my mouth.

"Oh, uhh, hey! I'll be going n-now." I turned around and jogged away. I wipes my forehead. Thank The Lord, I just survived another Corey moment.

Alli's POV

3-4-0-3

My locker door finally opened. I did a little spin.

I put my Science and English textbooks away and grabbed my Math and Spanish textbooks. Of course, I also grabbed my lucky pen. It was a teal blue pen, but the ink was actually black. It never smeared, either. My teachers even let me use it in class!

I slumped down to the floor and clicked my pen. I pulled a sheet of lined paper from my Math textbook. I had to finish a few notes before class, and I really hope I finish.

However, taking one glance to the left, I knew I wouldn't.

Bree's POV

I strutted down the hall to my locker. Makayla followed, writing some notes for her next class.

Gross. Alli was at her locker. We were locker buddies. I saw her glance at me. I glared at her. She quickly returned her gaze to her math book. I sashayed up to her.

"Well, well. If it isn't miss Alli Penn!! Hey sweetie!! Now, could you move your dirty butt out of the way so I can get to my locker? Uh huh!! There you go!! Oh, you and your stupid little pen."

5-4-3-9

Perfect! My locker opened.

"Bree, you could be a little nicer." Makayla spoke up. I just sighed, and sprayed some more perfume.

"Maybe you could jut shut your mouth and mind your own business! Gosh Kay, your supposed to be on my side."

Poor little Alli sat there perplexed. I kicked her foot and bent down to face her.

"So, Penn. How are these notes coming along?"

She gulped as I reached for them. I stood up ripped them in half, and dropped them to the floor. I smirked.

"Have fun in math!"

I gathered up my things and turned around. I heard Alli gathering her stuff and running away. I smirked.

"Come on Kay Kay, let's go!"

I heard no response. I turned around. "Ugh Kay come-"

I saw her shocked expression. She was pointing to something behind me. I gave her a questioning look and turned around. I gasped and dropped my books.

A few feet away stood Corey. His fists were all balled up and he looked furious. How had I not seen him before? He stormed towards me.

"Bree! How could you act like that!! Better question, why am I dating a girl like this!! We're through."

He walked past me. I felt tears falling to the floor surrounding me. I picked up my books and rushed to the bathroom.
