I Hate It Here

Reputation:

As I entered the cafeteria, I saw 1989 sitting with Midnights.
1989 had been crushing on the older girl since forever and I really didn't want to bother them, but I didn't know who else I could sit with.

„Hey, Rep! How was English?"
1989 asked.
„Ugh, horrible. We have that new girl and she's such a nerd. Oh, and she's sitting next to me."
I sighed.
„Oh no. What is she doing?"
my friend asked.
Well, what was she doing?
„Uh..she's just such a kid and a nerd."
„Are you sure she's that bad? Maybe give her a chance."
„Stop seeing the good in people, 1989.
She's freaking annoying."
„Maybe you should stop always seeing the worst in people. You don't even know her yet."
„Oh, shut up."
„Maybe she's right."
Midnights agreed with 1989.
„You just say that, because you wanna get in her pants."
I said and rolled my eyes.
Now they went silent.

Lover:

I was sitting on an empty table in the cafeteria, when two girls sat down next to me.
„Hi, you're new, right?"
one of them said.
„Yes, I'm Lover."
„Nice to meet you! I'm Folklore and that's my sister Evermore."
„Nice to meet you too!"
I said and smiled, because this was the first time I met nice people at this school.

Folklore was a tall girl, probably older than me, and she was wearing a long white dress, along with a light grey cardigan.
She had grey eyes and looked very friendly.
Evermore had brown eyes and her hair in a braid.
She had the same cardigan as her sister,
just that hers was brown.
„I love your matching cardigans!"
I complimented them.
„Thanks!"
Evermore said.

„Do you know there's a party on Friday?
It's 1989's birthday and everyone is invited!"
Folklore told me.
„No, I didn't. Are you going?"
„Yes! I'm sure you can come too!"
Evermore said.
„I don't know..1989 doesn't even know me."
„I mean, she invited Rep and no one ever invites Rep. So I think you're fine. If Rep is invited, everyone is."
„Oh, I know Reputation! Why don't people invite her? I mean, yeah, she's kind of scary, but everyone deserves a second chance!"
I defended the girl, not even knowing why.
„Are you kidding me? A lot of girls have switched schools because of Rep.
She's bullying everyone. Oh, and don't call her Reputation! She hates that. Call her Rep."
Folklore said.
„Oh, I didn't know that."
I said, a bit shocked.

„So are you coming?"
Evermore changed the subject again.
„Yeah I think so."
I didn't want to disappoint them,
but I honestly didn't want to go.
Parties make me feel so uncomfortable,
Well, maybe it'll be a chance for me to meet some new people.

The school bell rang, which meant I was going to have PE now.
As I entered the changing room of the school gym, I saw some other girls, including Rep.
„Ugh, why do I have to attend all my classes with you?" she asked me.
Maybe it was better for me to ignore her.
Rep was wearing her sports clothes already, but she still didn't leave.
I took my skirt off and bent down to grab my shorts.
„Nice ass."
Rep commented and then left the changing room.
My face was probably burning red now.
Was she being serious?
Or is she making fun of my body?
I put my shorts on and quickly exchanged my long sleeve with a light purple t-shirt.
Then I put my hair in a ponytail and entered the gym.

Our teacher was talking to Rep.
It kind of surprised me, because I thought Rep wouldn't get along with teachers.
„Good morning. Please come here."
the teacher said, as soon as everyone had entered the gym.
„This is Reputation. She is the captain of the volleyball team and a very good coach in my opinion. I'm giving her the chance to improve her skills as a trainer, so she's going to help me out this year."

What?
She was going to be our coach?
„Um..yes, hello. I'm Reputation, but please call me Rep. Most of you know me, but for the new students: don't mess with me. If you're getting on my nerves or don't do what I say, I'll kick you out of the team. Got it?"
I knew she was talking to every new student,
but she was staring into my eyes, while saying that.

Everyone started nodding, so I did too.
„Ok good. We're going to start playing volleyball today, so I can see how good y'all are. If I think you're not good enough, you'll be kicked out. Let's start with running though."
Rep said, so we started running for at least 10 minutes straight.

I was sweating so hard, when she suddenly Rep
showed up next to me.
„Sure you're good enough for my team?
You're sweating already.
Maybe you're not made for sports.
You can't be out of breath that soon."
„I'll try my best."
I said, breathing heavily.
„Don't faint. If you faint, you're out."
I nodded, although my body felt like I would faint any second.
It wasn't used to running anymore.
All I knew was that PE is going to be hell.

After two hours of hard volleyball practice,
our teacher came up to me.
„Hey, Lover? Reputation told me you're not good enough for her team and that she'll only want you, if you practice more often. Students who don't make it in Reputation's team will fail this class unfortunately."
How was this fair?
I needed a good grade in PE, so I just said:
„Yes, I'm sorry. I'll work harder. I really want to be in the team."

A/N: I know this isn't the best story you'll ever read, but I'm having so much fun writing this!!
