Chapter 151

When Jessica got on the bus, we chatted.

Jessica: So are you excited?

Nicole: What do you think?

Jessica: Yeah, me neither.

Nicole: Do you see any new kids on the bus?

Jessica: *stands up in seat and looks around* Nope. You?

Nicole: I already checked. Nothing.

Jessica: Well maybe there's a new kid on another bus.

Nicole: I hope not.

When we got to school, we waited in suspense to see a new girl. At that moment, I saw Taylor and Emma as they walked towards us happily. "Hey, guys! Long time, no see!" Said Taylor. I replied, "Hey," clearly not even paying attention or showing any affection to what they were saying as I looked around for a new kid. Emma asked me, "Whats up with you? What are you searching for?" Then I apologized and said, "I was just looking for a new kid. I'm worried about who we might run into." I saw another bus come. Faith came off it. She walked towards her other friends and I was just WAITING for something tragic to come, somebody horrible to come. And that moment... did come. 3 girls came off the bus, all in provocative clothing, walking separately but still together. "Here we go," I said to Jessica, Emma, and Taylor. Emma and Taylor turned around and saw those girls. "Oh no," they said at the same time. The girls flipped their hair as if they were so cool. But no. Just no. They were not cool. Those girls walked passed us and I could just smell their perfume. The odd thing was they seemed to be using the same perfume I wear. Beyoncé Pulse. I whispered that piece of information to the girls and they started naming their perfumes just to make conversation. I didn't care about it though. I just stared at those girls, trying to see how they would talk to other people. But they seemed so... lonely. So scared. I felt bad. I had to go up to them. I squeezed through Jessica and Taylor and said, "I'll be back in a sec." I walked up to those confused scared girls and said, "Hi! You must be new here. I'm Nicole and -- " One of them held their hand up and said, "Don't care," as they seemed to ignore me. Whoomp, there it is. I didn't care. I've been through a lot of this. I simply walked away and went back to Jessica, Taylor, and Emma. Emma widened her eyes and said, "Well?" I closed my eyes, shook my head and said, "Just what I thought." They all sighed.

Jessica: Well look on the bright side. We've been through a lot of these situations so we know how to handle them. We learn from our mistakes.

Taylor: Right.

Jessica: Just like Emma and you.

Emma+Taylor: Huh?

Jessica: You guys made the mistake to bully Nicole with Hannah.

Nicole: Come on, Jess. Don't bring that up now. It's over with.

Emma: Yeah, the past is in the past, Jessica.

Taylor: Besides, we had no choice. She would've told all our secrets. You would've done the same, Jessica, so don't blame us.

Jessica: Excuse me? I would not have done the same because I would've been smart enough to tell someone on her. I mean, I wouldn't need One Direction to tell me.

Taylor: Well even if we did tell on her she still would've told the whole school our secrets, Jessica. Don't blame it on us.

Jessica: I don't know why you guys even have secrets. I mean, when have I ever told you my secrets? Never. That's because I don't know if you guys are going to turn around on me and threaten me like Hannah did to you.

Emma: Oh. I just thought you had no secrets.

Nicole: Yeah, me too.

*Bell rings*

Jessica: I'm going to class. Think about it, Taylor. Think whether you would rather be our friend or Hannah's.

Taylor: What the heck? Fine! I will!

*Jessica and Taylor walk away*

*Silence*

Nicole: Well that went well.

Emma: Sure did. Come on. Let's get our mind off this for now and go to class.

Nicole: Yeah.

Emma and I went to class together and when we got there, I didn't see my usual Math teacher. This guy was different. Substitute maybe? Even though its the first day, I bet our normal Math teacher still would have had the possibility of being sick or not feeling well. I sat down beside Emma and the teacher was turned around. All I could see was his back. He was writing down some stuff on the board. I got my Math book out and waited. In that time, I sort of decided to take in my surroundings. In front of me was Jared, some random kid at school who is addicted to this one girl who doesn't wanna do anything with him. He's asked her out like, a billion times. To my left was Samuel, a grade 8 popular guy who was nice to everyone, but swore 24/7. To my right was Emma of course. I looked behind me and saw Eli. Ugh, him. I'm gonna feel very uncomfortable with him there. Anyway, the teacher turned around and I saw at that second that he was pretty hot. He said, "Good morning, class. My name is Mr. Sexy." Okay, he didn't really say that but I bet that was his birth name. He probably changed it to something better like Mr. Hot Tomales. I'm kidding! I'm kidding! His actual name was Mr. Amell. He was pretty buff and he was wearing a tight shirt, but not tight enough to see his six-pack. (I'm sure he has one though). He seemed like a pretty serious guy and he got down to business immediately. "I'm just a substitute for today but if your normal teacher is not here, I will be here at that time. Okay, I think we should start getting down to business. Today we are learning integers," he said. A couple people groaned. Okay, maybe not a couple people. More like a few. Okay, not a few. It was more like... EVERYONE. I didn't though. Mr. Amell started writing stuff on the board. All of a sudden, I was passed a note from behind. Ugh, Eli. Without reading it, I immediately crumpled it up, walked over to the garbage can, and threw it out. I went back to my seat. "Okay, I've prepared a little video on integers to show you. Feel free to take notes," Mr. Amell said as he turned off the lights and turned the video on. I paid close attention. At that moment, I heard Eli calling me from behind. All I heard was, "Nicole."

Not gonna answer.

"Nicole..."

Not gonna answer.

"Nicole..."

Not gonna answer.

"Nicole..."

Nicole: *turns around and whispers* Ok, you're really annoying, what do you want?

Eli: Hi, Nicole.

Nicole: Leave me alone, Eli. I'm trying to take notes. You should be too.

Eli: Who are you, my mother?

Nicole: *widens eyes* Excuse me?

Eli: I don't have to listen to you.

Nicole: And I don't have to listen to you. Stop talking to me.

Eli: Did you even read the note I gave you?

Nicole: I'm afraid the trash can's reading it now.

Eli: You didn't even skim it?

Nicole: I didn't even see a paper.

Eli: Man, Carson was right all along.

Nicole: What?

Eli: Never mind. I've said too much.

Nicole: Wha -- no. No, you haven't. Tell me what Carson said.

Eli: Oh, nothing.

Nicole: Eli, tell me.

Eli: I'll tell you on one condition.

Nicole: Ugh, what?

Eli: You go out with me.

Nicole: What? Hell to the no!

Eli: We'll talk at lunch. My mother said I need to pay attention and take notes.

Nicole: Jerk.

I turned back around and took notes on the math video.
