Mr. Popular

Chapter 2

I woke to the sound of my phone’s alarm. I tried to figure out how to use the alarm clock on my bed side table, it had too many mechanics. I finally let go of my bed. It’s sucks that I have to be separated from my one true love. I made my way to the bathroom and took a quick bath. I scan through my clothes and decided to wear jean shorts and a light blue blouse. Satisfied with my outfit, I darted out of the room and down the stairs. Well, you could say I’m kind of excited and nervous at the same time. This is a new atmosphere to me, a place where no one actually really knew me, well, except for my father, of course. “It’s about time you got ready, you’re going to be late on your first day.” Dad said. “Yeah, I’ll see you after school.” I said, kissing him on the cheek. In a swift action I took my skate board and left the house. Woah, I could be a ninja.

I rode my skate board on the way to school, I’m one of those rare girls in England who fancied skate boarding. I had to stop and ask questions, I should’ve familiarized my way to school yesterday. The building came to sight. Huge crowds of kids are outside the school, I’m not sure why but I’m not eager to find out either. I took a hold of my skate board and walked through the entrance of the school, it was almost like a ghost town inside, almost since there were people around but you can almost hear a pin drop at the deafening silence. I kept walking through the hallways, I guess that’s why so many people were outside, what? Is there a ‘no-talking policy’ inside campus? “Hey, you must be new, my name is Elizabeth but you can call me Liz and I guess you’re Katy the new student?” She said, startling me. “Uh, yeah, that’s me, Katy Thompson.” I replied.  

She, first, led me to the guidance office to collect my books, schedule and my locker combination. She helped settle my stuff into my locker. “Cool, we have first period together.” She said, eyeing my schedule. “And don’t stop talking, I love your accent.” She said and gave me a warm smile, I returned a genuine one. We both walked to class, the seats are in pairs. “Lizzie! Sit next to me.” A blonde girl yelled and yanked the only person I know next to her. I guess I’m sitting alone. Elizabeth gave me an apologetic glance. I just don’t feel like I could call her ‘Liz’ since we’re not actually that close. The door burst open and everyone’s eyes were on a lad who I assume was late. He sports a yellow v-neck shirt and a pair of jeans and a beanie. “It’s about time, Mr. Bieber, yet there’s no day that you arrived late in my class.” The teacher said, glaring at him. The lad rolled his eyes and made his way to his seat. I looked back at the teacher, who wrote his name on the bored, Mr. Harris, he wasn’t happy about Justin and his actions, honestly, I’m not either. I feel like he’s one of the popular jocks who acts like a ‘God’ to everyone. I snapped out of my thoughts as I realized, the only available seat was next to me. I groaned at my own thoughts.

He occupied the seat next to me. I tried to focus on the board but I looked at him from the corner of my eye, he was staring back at me. I feel so awkward. “Hi, you must be ‘the new girl’. I’m Justin.” He said, holding out his hand as if there’s no teacher and no one else inside. I tried to ignore him. I didn’t want to get in trouble, it’s just my first day. “So you can’t talk?” He asked. I’m not sure if I should answer him or if I should stay out of the teacher’s bad side, I mean, I think he already has a bad mood for Justin. “Do you even know who I am!?” He spat. Who does he think he is? “Justin, if you’re not interested in the lesson you might as well keep quiet. Making other students fill in your boredom isn’t allowed in my classroom, Mr. Bieber.” Justin looked back at him, angrily and just shrugged and sat back.

Finally, first period finished. I rushed to Elizabeth’s side. She gave me some sort of look that I couldn’t classify. Is she mad at me or confused? “Katy, you just ignored the most popular guy in school.” She finally said. Um, so? “I didn’t want to get in trouble on the first day.” I said. “Well, people won’t actually get mad at you, they might even get jealous.” She said. “Okay, maybe I should fill you in about the people in this school.” She said as we both walked to my locker to pick up some of my books. “The girl who pulled me a while ago, her name is Emily, she acts like the queen of the school, some people see her like that, some people she chose to be as friends act like her, but I think they just ‘befriended’ her because of her popularity, we call them the Barbie dolls because they’re so full of themselves and we could clearly see their fake tans and fake lashes just to get Justin’s attention.” She said in all honesty. “Then, there’s the big three, almost everyone in the entire school falls head over heels for them. First, there’s Ryan, he never had a stable relationship. He dated almost every Barbie in this school. There’s Chaz, he just broke up with his girlfriend, to be honest, among the three of them, Chaz is the one with the least attitude. He could be pretty wild sometimes but he knows his limits. Lastly, we have, Justin Bieber, he’s the king. His family owns the school and one of the biggest companies in Canada. Girls want his attention but he never gives it to anyone but he did…to you.” She said. “He barely even said anything.” I said, as we headed to the next class. “But he said something. He hardly talks to anyone who sits next to him unless it’s Chaz or Ryan. He doesn’t even talk to Emily.” She said. “Well, I’m not going to start treating him like a ‘God’. He’s just a lad with green paper in his pockets. He’s not different.” I said. “Lad, that’s thick. Well, I agree with you. I have to introduce you to the girls at lunch. This is your class, I have history first, I’ll see you at lunch.” She said and walked away.

I guess I finally found a friend.
