The Diary of a Pretty Lady

Chapter 9

Next day at school Lena and I were standing at our lockers just talking about the charity event from Friday. Lena's mom absolutely loved the idea to throw a separate party but she didn't like the auction thing with commoners so much. But Lena begged to let us take all the blame if the media attacks the fundraiser.

I grabbed my dance clothes because Finn and I are auditioning for the dance team after lunch.

Everyone who's auditioning can have that period off and all the captains and co-captains of the teams have it too because they have to be there.

When I slammed my locker shut I hear a high pitched scream and some cursing coming my way.

Oh no, not her again. Does she want another fight because this time I won't hesitate to punch her right in the throat.

"You bitch , why are you having a fucking party Friday? And how the hell did you get my mom to agree with it?" She yells at me.

Everyone –once again- stares at me. I even think some people are following me around because with me there's always some kind of drama.

"Because, those black-tie fundraisers with all the botox-filled old people are boring as hell." I answer smartly. Raising my eyebrows, challenging her to go against me.

"You are such a bitch. You just want to take my crown but guess what it's not going to happen!" She screeches and stomps away.

"Well that was intense." Lena states patting me on my shoulder. She didn't even bat an eyelid at Taylors annoyinh voice. I feel sorry that she had to grow up with someone like that.

Entering the restaurant I go straight to the food table. I take some sushi and a sprite and head to the table where my brother, Matt, Lena and some other popular kids already were stationed.

"Hey guys , why is Taylor always so mad at me?" I ask straight away to anyone who wants to answer me. And sit down in between Finn and Lena.

"Because she's a bitch." Lena answers first.

"Because she wants attention." A kid in my math class, Tyler, adds.

"Because she is totally in love with Matt." Melanie someone from my English class says.

"What ? And what does that have to do with me?" I throw my hands in the air. Seriously some people are so dumb. If she wants Matt's attention she can go hang around him instead of always trying to attack me. I reply getting riled up because of this ridiculous explanation.

"I think she sees you as a thread sis. Just ignore it and she will stop eventually." My brother says not even looking up from his math homework laying next to him. He always does most of his homework already at school so he doesn't have to do a lot at home. Because he has to help me out all the time.

"Yeah well she just got really mad at me in the hallways because of the party." I say

"She what? She didn't touch you , right? Because girl or no girl I will kill her." Finn says loudly while pushing his chair back so he can stand up and scan the cafeteria.

"Easy there tiger." I lay a hand on his shoulder so he sits back on his chair. "She just yelled for a second and then stomped away." I explain.

"She has to watch her mouth or I will cut the bitch." Lena says seriously, making everyone laugh.

Finn and I are walking to our car when school's over. Well for me it's more like stumbling.

"My legs are on fire." I whine holding onto Finn's arm.

"Mine too Sammie , this girl knows how to dance." Finn sighs, holding the door open so I could get in the car once we arrived.

Jacques starts the car and heads home.

What a day.
