"36 seconds. Not bad, not bad at all...for a 16 year old!" Coach Terri laughs. "Anyways, that's 4 seconds faster then yout last 50 lap, have you been practicing?"
"Of course not!" I say, a little louder then it needs to be. "It's just bad luck! You know that I don't want to swim. Anyways, I've got to go. My friends are going to start the game in 30 minutes."
I gab my bag with my soccer things and a towel.
" Whoa there, little girl. Why didn't you tell your mom you are trying out?"
I sigh. "It's obvious. I am pretty sure that I won't make it, so what's the point in telling my mom that I'm getting ready to quite swimming, AND playing soccer?"
" So you'd rather play soccer then swim?" asks coach Terri with an eyebrow raised.
"I'd rather play soccer then stay in this hell-hole that people call a pool."
With a quick bye, I run out of the pool center that the Arundel High has and run into the gym locker rooms. I take off my wet swim suit and put on my soccer gear.
"Well, well, well, looks like we have the little mermaid in here." There are some snickers followed by that.
"Oh, hey Jessica!" I say with a fake cheery voice. "Sorry, but I'm busy right now...can I ignore some other time?" I say with a smile.
Jessica came up to me, looking my up and down with her light hazel eyes.
"Why don't you shove a soccer ball up your ass?" Jessica snickers with her posse.
Believe it or not, but me and Jessica used to be best friends. But when we came into high school, I started to make new friends. Can someone say "Jealeus" because that was why she hates me now.
"Naaa. I'd rather kick a ball at your face." I say with an easy grin.
"Oh, you woudn't get away with THAT. I'll just simply sue you." Jessica says woth a cocky grin.
"Right, I forgot. You care soooo much about your looks that you'll just have to get plastic surgery! How much does that cost?"
Jessica glares at me. "How should I know off the top of my head?" She asks with alot of annoyance in her voice.
I smile as I start to walk out of the locker rooms
"I thought you would know because of how much plastic surgery you already have."
With that, I grab my bags and leave with a shocked look across Jessica's face and her posse trying to help her get back to her normal apperance.
Jessica's P.O.V
I hate that little bitch. Ever since she turned on me with her so called other friend, Brooke, I have spent most of my time thinking up ways to torchure her and her friend. How could she just abandone me like that?
Now, look where she is. An A-plus student and with her free time, she swims! What kind of girl goes to school wearing her light brown hair in a messy bun and sweat pants with a sweatshirt? And what's more is that she. Is. Popular. I work so hard in the morning to get my hair just right and Nicole goes to school, not caring what anybody thinks of her.
Nicole is actualy popular material. She has the perfect body, bright blue eyes that stick out, straight light brown hair that has blond highlights that come naturaly, and smooth skin.
It kinda sounds weird talking about a girl in that way so....yea.
And then, little old me, with dirty blond hair and light hazel eyes, is still not as popular as Nicole. If you ask me, Nicole shouldn't be popular until she actualy starts looking at whats she is wearing in the morning.
I got to say, the last thing she said to me as she walked out of the changing room was quite unlike her. Every since I've started being mean to her, she decided that she would just try to be the peace maker and stay quite. This time, she totaly broke. The last time I saw her say anything mean to me was....hhmmm, NEVER. She is the best friend anybody can have. Maybe that's why she is popular...
No. Popular is about the looks and who you hang out with. Nicole brakes every rule about being popular. She hangs out with geeks and nerds with no self esteem. Nicole, i must say, is the most caring person I have ever met.
Maybe that's why i got jealus- wait. I promised myself after the big fight I had with Nicole that I'll never admit that I was jealus about anything. so THAT is how it is going to stay like.
