I walk into school and am greeted immediately by everyone stoping and staring at me. I try a forced smile and everyone walks away and continues on to their classes. My two best friends Elisabeth and Anika run up to me, out of breath.
"You didn't see it did you?" Asks Elisabeth.
"See what?!" I ask panicking.
"Something Dru posted..." Starts Anika as she pulls out her phone. She taps on it a bit then hands it over to me. I take a look at the screen and forget to breath.
"How could she do this?!" I exclaim. "This isn't even true! Why does she keep doing this?" I look back down at the screen with my picture on it. It's the photoshop picture that Dru posted that I didn't bother looking at when Anika told me about it yesterday. It was a paused clip from the broadcasted part of the competition and it was underwater. It was photoshopped to look like I was holding Dru's ankle underwater and pulling her back. But, we were in two different lanes and I would never do that!
"What makes her think she can make stuff up like that?" Exclaims Anika.
"Make it up?" Says a voice behind me. I look up to Elisabeth who is facing Anika and I. She looks terrified. I turn around slowly only to face Dru and Jamie.
"Dru! How could you do this!" I yell. I am not scared of Dru like Anika and Elisabeth. I mean, she scares me a bit but not that much.
"Dru how could you lie like that?" Anika elbows me to get me to be quiet but I am really mad. "That is photoshop! It is not real! It's a lie!" I accuse.
"Really? What is your proof?" Asks Jamie. Dru kicks her in the leg to be quiet. I knew she was lying.
The bell rings for class.
"This isn't over." I tell Dru as I head off for History.

After school I walk over to Gingers. Gingers is a cafe I have gone to almost everyday for lunch since grade 7. I now have a job here and I work whenever I can. I am friends with the owner who got me a job. All I do is serve people's food and I don't get paid much, but it's something.
"Jordan, table fours order is ready!" My friend Clarissa says. I walk over and grab table fours tray, which consists of two donuts and two decaf coffees and walk over to the table. I almost trip when I see the customers sitting there. Dru Brown and Jamie Ryanson. What are they doing here? I walk up to the table and put a big smile on my face.
"Your donuts and coffee." I say as I lay the tray down in front of Dru and Jamie. Dru looked absolutely startled then a grin of pure cruelty spreads over her face.
"Jordan Lee? From school? You work here?!" Dru makes a scene as everyone else in the cafe turns and looks.
"Here's your food." I say as I turn around and try to leave. But, of course that's not possible.
"Excuse me, waitress. Can I get some more napkins?" Asks Dru, even though there is a napkin dispenser on her table.
"Of course." I say between gritted teeth. I walk over and grab a stack of napkins, along with a tray of food for table seven. I walk over to Dru's table and drop the pile of napkins down, I turn around to leave, when I trip! I fall to the ground and all of table sevens food goes all over Dru. She tripped me!
"Ew! How do you even work here?!" She exclaims as she makes a big deal of getting up and walking to the bathroom.
I have to find a way to get back at Dru.
