Mind Over Matter,Heart Over Mind

chapter 1

This was a joke right, I mean it had to be----- there was NO way that she was getting an A minus on the test, no way!

Kara hears a voice "hey cabbage! What did YOU score huh?"
The voice was Mason, ugh! Mason, you don't need to know much about Mason except for the fact that he's shit

"What? You can't talk anymore?" Mason said sarcastically smirking to himself, even across the classroom he managed to piss her off, resting back on the chair,with his feet on his table, he REALLY is shit, BUT he is also---- fucking smart.

"I got an A------minus" Kara responded reluctantly, the words were hard to get out of her mouth but she said it, she got an A------minus in math.

Now something to note about Kara is that she is a little um dramatic, really dramatic actually, and she hated to loose, so did Mason, so it really wasn't a good idea to have the most competitive, the most intelligent and the most capable students in the same class.
It was to no surprise that they couldn't tolerate each other, but it was surprising to what extent they would both go to win.
Kara was a curly haired African American, who was above average height. Her black souless eyes made her look intimidating, and she was. Highly intelligent, played the violin,cello and she played tennis, volleyball, football(soccer if you're American), she is head of; the drama club,the school band and the soccer team,the cheer leading team.
She was focused on her goals worked really hard to achieve them.

Mason however was gifted,he was talented no denying that. He didn't have to work for anything, he was naturally good at anything and Kara hates him for it.
While she lost sleep prepping and studying for a test, Mason would show up 20 minutes late, not even bring a pen with him, write the test, finish before anyone else, sleep for the rest of the class and STILL get perfect scores.

And he did it again, AGAIN. You could feel the heat radiating of Kara as she looked at Mason, his face said it all, he got an A plus.

"Aww too bad cabbage, I got a 97%, I even tried to miss a question intentionally but I guess that wasn't enough for you to surpass me" he said in a cocky voice, his smirk turning into a full blown smile.

" You're so childish Mason" Beverly interceded, she was a dumb blonde(no offense but she was). She was a blonde haired, blue eyed girl who only cares about fashion and boys, which there's no shame in that,90% of the students at Chatham hall are preoccupied with that.
However Beverly was the embodiment of the mean girl in movies except she wasn't mean, she was the nicest person ever, but she was a bit too brutally honest, even to herself. She often joked" how the hell am I gonna take over my dad's company?! My brain is full of sand". She and Kara were as close as can be.

She liked Kara cause Kara was never jealous of her nor called her a slut and Kara liked her because Beverly was raw and direct. They made quite a pair those two. Especially because they didn't look like they had anything in common.

" Are you really THAT bored, stop pestering us" Beverly snarrled as she rolled her eyes
"Oh, it's just that, your friend really talks the talk, I want her to know that I'm still better than her"mason started laughing maniacally
"Oh so what? I got an A minus, there will be other test, besides math is my weakest subject"she says, forcing a smile.
"If it makes you sleep at night" mason replied, and that pissed Kara off, everything he did pissed Kara off, but sometimes she found herself not hating him as much as she needs too. However this wasn't one of those times, Kara probably needed to pour ice cold water on her because she was probably producing steam at this point.

The teacher comes in and starts the lesson, celebrating Mason's intelligence, "If you work hard and study, this could be you too", Kara needed a break, now that was bullshit.
