I woke to the sound of my mom yelling at me.
"Katelyn!"
I was half awake when I said, "What...?"
"The bus is coming down the street! Hurry!"
Suddenly it clicked, I forgot it was Monday. I had stayed up all night writing songs. I jumped out of bed and ran to my dresser. I didn't pay attention to what I put on, and put my hair in a messy ponytail. I put on my purple flip-flops, ran down to the door, and grabbed an orange on the way out. The bus was about to pass when I ran in front and waved my hands so they would notice me. "SKREECH!" The bus driver made when he hit the brakes. I was about to go on the bus when my mom yelled, "Katelyn, you forgot your lunch!" I ran out or get my lunch, also hearing the bus driver honking his horn in the background. When I got my lunch, I went back to the bus and got on. When I got on, of course I could see the Plasticz smirking and laughing at me. Sooner or later everyone else was laughing too. I was trying to figure out what they were laughing at. And figured out it was my clothes, my hair, pretty much my everything. My shirt read, "I ❤️ Hello kitty." And I was wearing my pink and blue SpongeBob pants. I sat down in a seat next to the window. I could still hear some people whispering and making fun of me, especially the Plasticz. A few seconds later one of the Plasticz said to me "BTW, you look stupid." Of course the whole bus was listening when she said that.
I turned and looked at her and said " Good, I was trying to look like you today." Some of the people on the bus said "BURN!" The girl from the Plastics looked mad, and turned back around to whisper to the other Plasticz. I looked back out the window, and mumbled under my breath " This is only the beginning."
The Plasticz~
I walked into the school looking for Michelle. I wasn't surprised everyone was looking at me like I was an alien with armpit hair sticking out to the sides. The bell for first period was about to ring, and I was not going to go to class looking like I came off of a little kid show." I went down to the office and asked if they had any extra clothes. The lady at the desk was on the phone so she did hand movements trying to show me where it was, which I couldn't understand. A couple of seconds later I had found the lost and found. I went and searched through it when I found some boys shorts, a half cut t-shirt, and a really cute bracelet. I went to the bathroom in stall #3 to put on the stuff. A few minutes later I heard voices... And they sounded familiar... Almost like... Mean, snotty, rich girls. I peeked over the stall and got a little glaze of the Plasticz refreshing thier make-up. I had to get the class in less then 2 minutes, but I didnt want them to see me in boy shorts. I tried to climb under the stall walls but they were too low. I then stood on the toilet seat, and reached over to see if I could grab a handle or something. Suddenly, it just had to happen. I pulled down the trigger with my foot that flushes the toilet. The Plasticz looked at stall #3 and started whispering to each other. It's like they knew it was me, probably because my SpongeBob pants and hello kitty shirt was on the bathroom floor. "Katelyn..." They said temptingly. " Come out, Come out wherever you are." They were trying to open my stall when I panicked and next thing you know my foot is in toilet water. I guess the bell was about to ring, and was walking to get to first period. Which then reminded me I had less then 30 seconds to get to class. I lunged my foot out of the water, took a whole handful of toilet paper, and wrapped it around my foot. I walked up the two staircases and went to room 232 which was English class. I saw Michelle and walked to go sit right next to her. She asked me what took so long to get to class, " Just a little mishap." I said unsurely.
Jake~
I walked out of English class and went toy locker. Michelle was right behind me the whole time. I got my textbooks and writing utensils out of my locker, and headed for 2nd period. I then heard someone who sounded familiar. With a heavy, but yet gentle voice. Then and there I knew who it was. I spun around with excitement knowing that it was Jake. He smiled at me with his perfect teeth. I opened my mouth to say something, but nothing came out. So I we stood there looking at each other in an awkward silence. He finally said something, " Hey."
"Hi."
" So you want to work on some music after school."
" Sure!"
I said shaking, as I wondered why I said that too loud. He looked at me again, and said, " Well I'll see you after school.
" Yeah."
He walked away for second period. I was so happy on the inside. I was about to squeal and run down the hallway, but I remembered to keep my cool. I went through second and third block in a flash. I saw Michelle after third block and went up to her. She had told me that the Plasticz were taking bad about her and me. We walked into the bathroom so nobody would hear us. She told me that they were saying stuf like... "She's so ratchet."
I was about to cry, but held it in. She asked me who was that guy I was talking to after first block. I told her that it was Jake. I had met him at a diner on my way home from the talent show.
" Do you like him."
I wanted to tell her I did, but was worried that it would get around.
" You promise not to tell anyone.
"I promise! I won't."
" fYeah. I kinda like him but... I don't know... He probably doesn't like me."
" Any guy would be crazy not to like you."
We both smiled and walked back out. I walked Michelle to class and went back to mine. I wanted to talk to Jake after class, about what we were going to do for the music. When class was over, I went out to go find Jake. He was joking and hanging out with some jocks that were on the football team. I went up to him and tapped him on the shoulder. He turned around and smiled, and we looked at each other for what seemed like forever. " Ooh, Jake has a girlfriend!", the football players said. I blushed while Jake looked down at the ground. The warning bell rang for last period. But before I went to last period, I wanted to talk to him. I told him that I was really excited about working together this afternoon. He smiled and said he was too. I had like s few to get to class. I said bye and went the other direction. As I walked to class I wondered if Jake actually thinks about me outside of school. I walked into the class and sat where I always sit. I just noticed that I haven't seen Michelle since 3rd block, but that didn't matter at that time. The teacher gave us a handout and she said she was timing us to see how much we could finish in two minutes. I didn't care about the handout I was daydreaming about Jake and his perfect hair plus smile. The two minutes went by in a flash, and before you know it the teacher was picking up our papers. I thought to myself if the teacher is picking up our test then that means this is a test! All I had on my paper was my name and today's date. I panicked and tried to finish at least a few questions before the teacher got here, but it was to late. She hovered over me and I looked up in sheer embarrassment. She looked at me and called me outside in the hallway. I went out with her and she told me that I have to stay in detention after school ends because I kept doing the handout when she said stop. I thought that was the craziest thing I have ever heard. I went back inside and everybody was looking at me like I had just killed someone. I sat down and watched the clock waiting for this miserable class to finally be over. Class was over about 25 minutes after the incident had happened, and I was so happy. But my mood changed quickly when I thought of Jake and our after school rehearsal. I soon panicked and went out to find him before he left. I found him once again with the jocks and asked him if we could talk. He came and I told him that I got detention and had to stay after school. He looked so disappointed. I told him I'm sorry and I walked away. I didn't want to stand there feeling guilty. I went to the bathroom and called my mom to tell her what happened. Then I went to find Michelle, and told her what happened also. She explained that he will be fine. I always feel better when Michelle is with me. I went to detention once Michelle's mom came to pick her up. The teacher said to sit down, and I can't talk or do anything but wait until it is over. I sat there and looked around and fiddling my fingers most of the time. When it was finally over, she called me over to write down my name to say that I was here.
Uh-Oh~
I got home about 5 and went upstairs to my room to check my Social networking sites. I checked my Instagram and saw that I got a follow request. I checked to see who it was but it was private. I accepted it anyways, because being the only one in my school with 8 followers is kind of sad. I talked to Michelle for almost two hours on the phone when I saw I got tagged in a photo. It was the new follower I got, and it said, "Katelyn likes who?!?" I panicked when I saw my name in the comment. I soon asked Michelle if she new who this person was. And she said it was the Plasticz! I panicked and thought of how stupid I was and didn't figure out it was them by their Instagram name. It was so obvious, their name was "Plastic_Doll." I looked at what they posted and it was a video of me and Michelle talking about Jake and how I liked him. They were in there when we were talking! The next day I talked to Michelle about the Instagram post, and told her that I was scared.
"Why?"
"Because now everyone knows I like Jake. So pretty much my life is ruined."
She turned and looked at me and said, "Here he comes."
Jake came down the hallway with everyone looking at him. I guess they were trying to see what was going to happen, being that they probably heard the news. I looked at him and he looked at me. Since he knew about what I said It was kinda awkward. Everyone was huddles in a circle around us. I even saw the Plasticz give a glance or 2. It was about 3 and a half minutes until class started and half of the school was crowded around us. I looked at his pretty eyes, and waited for what he was going to do or say. It was so quiet, as everyone waited in suspense. Jake looked at me and the looked away. I knew by the look on his face that something was bothering him. I stopped liking at his eyes, and looked at him concerned. He opened his mouth and said,"Katelyn, I got to tell you something. And your not going to like it."
