How You Get The Girl

3 - You're Like A Psychiatry!

The cast list has been updated woo! Go check it out x]

I took a deep breath when I got to the door. Here goes. I knocked and waited 5 seconds before hearing a 'Come in'.

I walked in slowly, my head down. I heard wolf whistles and gasps, which immediately made me blush. And a lot of girls mad. I gave the teacher my note, a young, good-looking guy.

He read the note and nodded slowly. 'Okay, everyone! This is Aria Kennedy, our newest student at Woodview. Aria would you like to take a seat near Pandora?' He pointed at a girl with fiery orange and red hair. She was writing something down, completely unaware of my presence.

'Mr Pearson, she can sit with me!' I heard a boy shout.

'Or me!'

'Or me!'

I sat next to Pandora. She looked up and smiled at me. I nodded my head in response. Her smiled widened. She was clearly incredibly skilled at eye make up. Her winged eye liner and dark brown lipstick complemented her skin tone perfectly. A nose stud sat at the top of her nose.

'So, Aria, what do you know about Gatsby.' Mr Pearson said, smiling.

'Erm,' That he was a soldier, yachtman, entrepreneur and a bootleg. He is a fictional character made by Francis Scott Fitzgerald. He has been portrayed by Warner Baxter, Adam Ladd, Robert Redford, Toby Stephens and Leonardo DiCaprio. The book was written in the 1920's and is known best for its impeccable writing. Me however am not going to make my first impression by making out as if I'm a knowitall. 'He was a guy?' I said dumbly. I felt a blow in my heart. A night here and I'm scared to show my true colours already.

Mr Pearson smirked. 'Are you sure that's all you know?'

I nodded.

'Hot and dumb. I call dibs!' The guy from earlier said. The class burst into laughter.

'Shes a girl, not a item. You can't call dibs on her. It's rude and single minded. Grow the Fuck up.' A guy said. I turned around and he had the most incredible jawline seen to man. I gulped and smiled at him.

"Jake seems to have a crush," All the guys sang. He reddened and looked down. I scoffed.

"Guys, give it up," Mr Pearson said, clearly amused. I shook my head and started listening to a lecture I already knew about.

"This is the lunchroom," Pandora said, walking into a busy canteen. "Let's go get into line." She grabbed my hand and walked towards a short line.

After paying for lunch we sat at a table. I smiled. "Thanks." I said, suddenly.

"For what?" Pandora asked, taking a bite out of her sandwich.

"Making me feel welcome and stuff," I said.

"No problem."

"Pandora!" I heard a girl shout. A blonde haired girl was running up to our table, a milkshake in her hand.

"Who's this?" She asked, looking at me curiously.

"This is Aria Kennedy. She's new." Pandora explained.

"O-M-G!" She screamed. "Your the girl Brandon's talking about!" She playfully slapped my arm, causing me to jump.

"Sorry Aria, this is Jade." Pandora said, rolling her eyes.

"Oh yeah, hi! I'm Jade, and you've just become the schools hottest gossip person thing." She giggled.

"What? How?" I said. I hadn't even spoken to anyone and I'm already...

What?

"Basically, apparently you gave Brandon some lip and he liked your confidence but then you were staring at him and he got freaked out and says you're a weird girl who's very horny." She said in one breath. The last 5 words made me choke on my sandwich. Jade turned and nodded towards a group of guys.

"That's the 'popular' table," She made air quotations around 'popular'. "Jocks, cheerleaders, baseball players, basically if you're involved in any sport, you're involved with them." I rolled my eyes at the cliche. Nice.

"Okay lemme guess. That table," I pointed towards a huddle of flannel and glasses. "That's the nerd table; that," I pointed at a table full of girls and guys wearing thick black make-up. looking like Taylor Momsen during her raccoon era. "Is the emo's and goths?" Jade started clapping wildly and squealed.

"You're so good at this! Like, you're, like a mind reader or something. You're like a psychiatry!" She gushed.

"Psychic." I repeated.

"Yeah, whatever," She said, flipping her blonde hair over her shoulder. "So te-" She started, but was soon cut off by the hoots and laughing of the popular table. I looked up to see the guy from earlier staring right at me, from the other side of the room, a smirk playing on his face. I looked down, cheeks flaring red.

After the laughter died down a little, Jade rolled her eyes and looked at me. "So tell me Aria, something about you." She looked at me curiously, as though the past 5 minutes didn't happen. I looked at her confused and Pandora whispered "Just go with it."

"Oh," I said as in I only just understood her question. "Erm, well," I chuckled nervously. "I'm a hopeless romantic and pretty much like everyone I meet," Then I remembered the guy from earlier. " Most people." I said looking down.

"O-M-G don't look up right now but, oh my God, oh my," She started fanning herself rapidly with her hand. "Breathe, breathe, breathe," She said quickly under her breath.

"Are you okay?" I asked her, confused why Pandora wasn't doing anything about her friends mini-panic attack. She was flipping through a magazine, whilst drinking her juice carton.

"Don't make it obvious, but Brandon is totally checking you out!" She squealed. "Don't, make it obvious then!" She slapped my arm again causing me to jump.

"Oh my God, okay." I said, rubbing my arm. I slowly looked up to see who this Brandon was that was making poor Jade have a heart attack. My eyes roamed around the room and I cursed Jade for not telling me his location. I looked over at the Popular Table and so the asshole still staring at me, still smirking.

So he was Brandon.

I glared at him, causing his smirk and probably his ego to widen.
