I got unusual stares from everyone in school. People whispered 'look the girl Adam cheated on'. They didn't say it out loud, nobody ever did, but I could feel it, but the whispers made it obvious. I didn't care, I saw this coming. Ella had convinced me to come to school by giving me ' you can't throw your career away'' talk. A week or two won't do any harm but she refused to understand. Adam was gone to visit his grandmother so at least I didn't have to face him. 

"Hey Jenny, I doubted that you would show up" she grinned. I gave a little smile in return. The whispers and stares had dissolved and it seemed like a normal day yet it wasn't. I wasn't sitting on the stairs with my best friends and having random conversations like I'd usually do. The bell rung and everyone starting proceeding towards their classes. Ella and I walked to our class without saying a word.

I entered the classroom and saw Elena at the corner of the room gossiping. Amanda, Jessica, Cloe and Samantha were the girls she would usually hangout with when she wasn't us. Mandy and I were really close and no one really knew about that. Two years ago we were almost best friends but then everything changed. She changed. She became a mean bitch but she still was a close friend. Elena walked towards me , before she could say anything Mr.smith entered. A few students greeted him. "Good morning Mr.Smith" I said. Mr.Smith was one of my favorite teachers, he made me like English even more. He was so strict yet so funny, exactly the kind of teachers I like. "Please be seated" He waited for everyone to sit before continuing. "Today we have a lot of talking to do". Uhh.. Why talking. Why can't we just read or write quietly? " I want you to write an essay about your future. Actually let's first discuss, what are your goals, your ambitions. What do you want to be when you're older?" He started to look round the class so I put my head down and tried to become invisible.

"Jennifer? What would you like to do?"

I knew it, he would ask me first.

I dunno. Doctor. Nah, I can't stand too much blood. Dentist. No thanks, I don't want wanna fiddle with people's moth. Yukh. Vet. I loved animals but I can't do the stitching thing. Model? That was just too mainstream. I was not certain about any thing in my life. Suddenly it clicked me. Fashion designer. I loved to design clothes and I even had a great taste in clothes, shoes and all sorts of accessories.

"Fashion designer" I think. I heard a few giggles, did I say something wrong?

Sam put his hand up. Thankfully Mr.Smith turned to him.

"Rich and famous" he said and everyone laughed.

"Hair dresser" Mandy said.

"Engineer." said Harry.

"Lifeguard." said cloe.

"That is original, and why is that?" Mr.Smith questioned.

"So I can give all the hot boys the kiss of my life"  Everyone laughed.

Mr.smith shook his head and then spoke "Alright than I suppose you all have your ideas, start writing then." I took his order and did what he said. 

The bell rung, I checked my time table and next was mathematics. Can this day get any boring I thought.

It was break, finally. I was standing with Ella and telling her about what Adam said to me a few days ago. She told me that he wasn't worth it. I guess she was right. She was the best listener and she gave the best advise ever. We were in the middle of our conversation that Elena barged in. "I am honestly very remorseful and ashamed because of what I did. Is there any way I can make it up to you?" she asked. " I trust you but look what it got me. How can I ever trust you again? You were suppose to be there for me when nobody else was instead you stabbed me on the back. How could you be so ruthless. You are a self seeking and a stubborn bitch. Actually that is an understatement. I want to slap you right now, no, I want to beat the shit out of you." I shouted letting all my thoughts out. "Then slap me." she said. Was that sarcasm? I thought, I didn't hear any irony in her tone. I looked at Ella she shook her head and said lets go. But a voice inside me said "slap the bitch" and I did what it told me to. It felt so good that I did it again. Everyone's attention was towards us. A few people howled ''fight, fight."


I was now sitting in front of the head mistress' office. I glanced at Elena, she looked as is she was sick and worried. She turned her head down, she couldn't risk anyone to look like this; red puffy Elena. 

I gave the door a little push so it would open noiselessly. "come in, please Elena Parker and Jennifer Walcott" she spoke as if we were her companions. "I heard you two were having a quarrel. Is that accurate?" We said yes under our breaths. "Hm.. and hitting was involved as well. Is that correct?". We nodded.

"She started it." Elena said quickly blaming me.

"Huh! You asked for it." I argued. 

"Well, if I tell you to jump off a cliff, will you?" 

"That's insane. Can you ever be responsible for your actions instead of accusing others".

"I didn't accuse anyone. I have taken responsibility for what I did. I might have punched you once or twice but you started it" 

"I don't have any concern with who started it. You both were fighting on school property and that's unacceptable. Detention for two weeks. If this happens again you both will be in a lot of trouble. Now you both may leave and proceed towards your class". I gave a little nod and left. I looked at Elena she had a little smirk on her face.

Elena had it all planned out. She wanted to have a fight. She wanted me to look like I am the bad one. It was official now. The war had started.
