The Way I Love You

Chapter Four - One Of The Populars

I stared in shock at the gift that Mr. Brown gave my mom to give to me, completely unaware that I was going to recieve anything like this.

Yes, I saw it being advertised on TV, magazines and websites, but never, ever, in my entire life, did I think I'd be holding what I was holding in the palm of my hands.

My jaw was on the floor, my eyes were wide, and my body was like a statue--frozen.

An iPhone was lying on sheets of scrunched, thin, white gift wrap, obviously to protect it if anyone dropped it, and squished next to it was a manual, its charger and earphones.

Am I dreaming?

I blinked once, then twice, then a total of three times and soon came to my senses that this, for once, wasn't a dream.

I never, ever thought I'd even be near such expensive technology.

I smiled widely at it, but the smile soon vanished.

This meant I had a decision to make.

I, for one, wanted to finally become a normal teenage girl, just a genuine popular girl.

But, now, I had a very confusing and heartbreaking case on my hands.

If people saw me with this, they'd know I, nor were I ever, a poor person, or even close to poor, they'd think that I have some rich mother that gives me anything I want.

But that was not the case at all.

What started off as trying to fit in, was becoming someone I didn't ever think I wanted or ever thought to be.

I was now in the popular clique.

And being in the popular clique seems to be what everyone wants, and that reminded me of what could happen.

I'd probably have to leave the guys, maybe even Shay to top that, because it would give a boost to the reputation that I now have, Danielle and the cheer squad would make me leave them so that I would gain more popularity.

And Shay?

Danielle already knows, as well as everyone else, that Shay was dating Justin.

And if Danielle wanted the squad to gain more popularity, she'd tell Shay and I to leave him, Ryan and Chaz, just because now, we had a reputation.

Shay was used to it, I guess. But I was far from used to it.

It's a lot to take in when you had nothing, and now you're one of the most known girls in school.

I probably got at least fifteen greetings from complete strangers today.

And that was saying something.

All I got was an unpleasant name calling and the odd 'oh-my-god-sorry-I-didn't-see-you-there' in Dallas.

I closed my eyes tightly, taking a few breaths before trailing up the stairs to my room and placed the box at the end of my bed.

My stomach churned horribly.

Guilt.

I guess I knew what I had to do.

I merely grabbed my SIM card from my older cellphone, inserted it into the iPhone and pressed the power button.

Looks like I'd already made my decision in a mere few minutes.
