TOGETHER: The Library Mystery

1. A present?......for me??

Song up there : BEAUTIFUL   by Anne marie

___________________________________________________________________________

Hmmm
This is soo freaking delicious
Sitting here with Charlie in his Chocolate factory drinking hot chocolate right from the river it's like a dream come true.
The way the sweet-sweet chocolate feels on my taste buds .......... Yum
But even before I could finish my drink I was almost knocked off the chair.
Ughhh I can't even be peaceful in my dreams I'm gonna kill this person

I opened my eyes to look at the intruder and give them a piece of mind
When I come face to face with a . . . .Gucci bag.

Wait what????

Ohhh I guess I should lift my head up
Or
.
.
.
Maybe not

Cause I see the she-devil herself in front of me with her minions behind her and a smirk on their faces ready to spoil my mood.
How?
By insulting me
I don't know what do they get by doing this
I have been asking myself this question for over a decade I guess.
Maybe because they get satisfied by bullying me even though I just ignore them.

I know letting myself get bullied by her isn't a brave thing to do but I just don't want to reply back and make this a long heated conversation, I just want to get over with it cause its just verbal stuff nothing much harmful as I don't let her words take a toll on me.
So I just do the best
IGNORE HER

Once she thought that along with this she could hit me that's where I drew a line and gave her a broken finger.
Yeah, you heard it right, I am strong and maybe a little violent.
Since then she has never tried that again. She even maintains one-hand distance from me since then.

She comes to me when she gets bored so that she could get entertained by my comebacks and she could have something to look forward to.
But I know that and I do the exact opposite and keep a blank face when she speaks to me and I don't give her a reply.
Boring I know but that's what I want.
But she really is stubborn so once in a month, she comes to me to take a look at my oh-so-famous blank face.

Or maybe it was because before I made a best friend last year the only human interaction that I used to have was with chole, and if I didn't have that, then I would be all alone. I was afraid that if I replied her back then maybe even she wouldn't come to me and appreciate my sense of clothing and my evergreen beauty.
Hope you caught on to the sarcasm there.
At least her insulting me somehow involved me in some kind of conversion, or I would have been totally left out it's not like chole gave me company and we braided each other's hair, But yeah at least something is better than nothing.

Seeing that I have the queen bee's attention she leaned towards me and said " I had warned you to stay away, but u didn't so now remember I'm gonna make you pay for it "

Pay? How much cause I don't have much savings right now

" And ya I got a small present for you" she again said in a fake sweet voice.
wow, a present but it's not my birthday today.
Then why a present?
Before I could ponder more on this thought
she placed a photo in front of me.
I squinted my eyes to look at it and saw a little girl and an older boy smiling back at me from the photo. They looked happy standing beside each other.

But hey that is not just any girl that's me.....!!!
But how did she get this ??
I remember once chole tried to take it from my locker thinking, I am hiding some secret and she could use it against me but I didn't let her do that
maybe
it fell from my locker this morning.
.
.
.
DAMN

Looking at the photo brought different emotions happiness, anger, sadness, and much more
seeing the shocked and nervous expression on my face her smile widened as after months I have shown something else than a bored expression
" You know what Alexis, I am not at all surprised by this photo of yours cause I never expected you to be a beauty even when you were a child and you still look as displeasing as you looked back then"

Then one of her minions commented " Look at that girl in the photo fatter than an elephant and those nasty braces, yuck !! "

Although there were not many people here in the library right now the ones who were present did nothing to make me feel better but stare and laugh at me.
I was used to this kind of situation now this happens once in a month or so.
So I suppose that fateful day is today
I again masked my face with a blank expression.
She laughed at me even though I kinda hate her I have to admit that she has a beautiful voice her laughter sounding like bells chiming in the quiet library.
She looked gorgeous although her personality is totally opposite.
But she sure looks like one with silk-like platinum blond hairs cascading down her shoulders and a light tan on her skin with nice blue eyes that complimented it.

After feeling satisfied with her insults she flipped her hair and cat walked out of the scene with her side bees following her like puppies.
And as soon as she left, all the attention was shifted from me and I heaved a sigh of relief and looked down at that photo, tears stung my eyes.
When I heard my name being called I hastily wiped my eyes and hid that photo in a book kept on the table and looked up as my one and only best friend took a seat beside me with a scowl on her face
" I saw Chole walking out. I guess she again did something to you. Tell me what did she do? I'm gonna rip those fake hair of hers. " she asked with anger evident in her voice

She doesn't like it when Chole insults me and the fact that I do nothing to stop her enrages her even more.
After I told her my reason and her labeling them as nonsense she agreed on not giving a shit about Chole.
But she sometimes fights for me even though I try to stop her cause I don't want her to land in trouble by fighting with a useless weasel-like Chole and waste her time on it.

" Just the usual Mia nothing major"
I could see the worry in her beautiful brown eyes but she didn't force me.
Mia O'Connell was nothing like me she was the total opposite.
Her dark hairs falling below her shoulders and perfectly tanned skin and brown eyes.
Beautiful as ever.
And an even beautiful heart.
She has a sweet and outgoing personality like a social butterfly.
And then there's me Alexis Wilson with brown hairs running down till my waist, dull green eyes with a not-so-tanned skin.
Unlike mia, I am a closed book and not much of an extrovert.
Just Plain, Boring, and unattractive as ever

Even though I was once asked out by a guy but turns out it was just a prank.

But I love myself for who I am, although I would want to make some changes in my looks section.
I'm more of a quiet person who stays away from the populars.
On one side there's me and on the other Chole Rodriguez the queen bee of Crestview high school.
She's damn popular, with the whole boy population of the school crushing on her and even some girls.
Maybe even I would if I was a guy.

_____________________________________________________________________

As I walked out of the school building I saw Chole surrounded by a group of people, like always she had the spotlight on her.
Also, she's on the school's basketball team so that sums up her popularity.

Here in Crestview high things work differently.

You are not worthy of something just cause you are talented but you are worthy cause you are popular and wear a layer of makeup on your face and shreds in the name of clothes.
Although Chole is beautiful she wears a hell lot of make up and a very little amount of clothes.

But Chole is popular even though she's just a player, not the caption

whereas the School's Girl's basketball Captian is not famous as she's nothing like Chole.
No makeup, No dresses that practically are 10 times smaller than her size.
Just ordinary looking and plain as a pikestaff.
Sometimes the captain gets pissed about this and how people underestimate her and her talents.
How do I know so much about her ??
Ohh it's because the captain is me.

Yeah, I am the Team Capitan.

And that's, what chole was referring to earlier in the library.

People think that it's her who should have been the Captain, not me.

It's not like people don't know me here, a good amount of people do know me but, they don't like to befriend me.
The reason being unknown

Maybe it's because of Chole and her swarm of bees or it's just me and my bland personality.

Who knew that they think the captain is selected for her looks and popularity rather than her talent.
Guess that's because they are not on the team.
Can't help it though.
Who cares about their opinions anyway.
Let's see what happens after they see me playing on the field as the captain.

No one in school has seen me play properly as I started playing the team at the end of my sophomore year although I joined it at the starting of sophomore they didn't let me play only after a player quit the team they allowed me to, and this year the coach asked me to be the captain which was a shock.
And till this date, I don't know why.

With these thoughts running in my mind I connected my phone to the car's speakers and blasting my favorite track, I drove myself home.
