PRETTIEST POSION || TRISTAN DUGRAY

"where's our lockers?" i ask rory who has the papers with our schedules and locker numbers, she points further down the long hall, "i have 103 and you have 104." she says and i nod. we walk down the hall together, making sure i didn't lose her in the crowd of preppy rich kids walking around. when we get to our lockers, i put all my stuff away.

"i'm going to go find the library before our first class." she states causing me to roll my eyes, "rory why are you leaving me." i groan, "you'll be fine, our class is right over there." she points to a room almost directly across from me. luckily, her and i have first, third, and sixth period together but the rest are her AP classes. i'm only in one AP class, english. english is basically the only subject i'm good at.

i take out my small mirror and fix up the small amount of makeup i put on. after i'm done, i close my locker and a guy towering over me. when i first see him, i jump a little; how long has he been there? "tristan dugray." he smiles flirtatiously at me, "adelaide gilmore." i nod at him, "you're new right?" he asks and i nod once again, not trying to give him any reaction. "what's your first class?" he continues asking questions, "AP english." i reply, "lucky me, same class." he winks at me causing me to internally puke.

"i'm gonna use the restroom, i'll see you in class i guess." i say before leaving him standing at my locker. to be fair he was cute, but i know for a fact he is stuck up and thinks he can get whatever he wants and i will not cater to that idea. "bye mary." he waves at me as i walk away. why did he just call me mary? he knows my name.

i walk into the bathroom and find a line up of blonde girls with perfect straight hair talking at the mirrors. one of the girls stands out to me, she has her uniform almost modified to look completely different but it's the same thing i'm wearing, she looks better than everyone else here. she sees me and scoots over giving me some room, "thanks." i smile at her and she nods, "are you new?" she asks me, "yeah, i'm adelaide." i reply, "nice to meet you, i'm emiko." she smiles brightly. "your name is really pretty by the way." she adds, "yours is too." i say. i see the girls next to us give us dirty looks, "they're bitches, i basically hate everyone here." she says as she sees me roll my eyes.

i look at her struggling to fix her hair. "here, let me help." i brush my fingers gently through her hair and fix her part, "all done." i smile and she claps her hands together, "thank you so much, you just saved me." she laughs, "can i?" she signals to my skirt and i nod, she rolls the skirt up two times making it look ten times better. now it sits a little farther above my knees instead of an inch above. "what's your number, i have a strong feeling you're gonna be my only friend here." i laugh. we exchange numbers and walk out of the bathroom together. we talk the entire time waiting for the bell to ring.

walking into class, i see rory and i sit in the seat next to her. "so how's your morning so far?" she asks me, "boring but fine i guess, i met this girl emiko and i'm pretty sure she's the only person i like so far here other than you." i laugh, i look behind me and see tristan sitting in the seat directly behind mine. "nice to see you again mary." he teases, "my name is adelaide." i shake my head and turn back around. "i like mary better." he whispers into my ear.

the teacher walks into the room and breaks up all the talking, "today we have two new students, rory and adelaide gilmore." he points to the two of us, i hate when teachers do this. everyone just basically stays silent, thank god. i sit in silence the entire class, occasionally talking to rory.

after what felt like forever, the class finally ended. my second class is human geography, sadly i have it with tristan. "today we have a partner project, you will have assigned partners and the project will be over religions in different countries. you will be able to pick the country you will do the project on, you can work here or in the library." the teacher says. great, i have to work on a project with a random stranger i doubt i will even talk to. the teacher lists out the different partners, waiting to hear who i have to work with. "adelaide and tristan." he says.

"kill me now." i mutter under my breath, "i guess you're stuck with me mary." he shrugs as he smiles. "yay!" i throw my hands in the air sarcastically. "let's get to work." i grab him by the tie and walk out of the class with him behind me, "kinky." he says fixing his tie, "shut up, where's the library?"
