Chapter 5 ~Perks of being Popular~

At home, I told Kyle I was "popular" at school and he laughed in my face. "Yeah right!" he said, laughing until his stomach hurt. I stuck my tongue out at him as Mum walked I with oatmeal cookies. "Here you go, sweethearts," she said, handing us the cookies.

Kyle snatched the plate from me, and ate them as he watched Wipeout. I rolled my eyes and walked upstairs to my room, getting ready to do my homework. I was about to do my homework when my phone beeped.

How was I not surprise to see it was from Kevin Quinn?

Hello, Popular Wannabe. Heard you were popular now? ;) Because of me, ain't it?

I clicked delete and opened up my laptop, trying to start on my English report. Well, until when I opened it up and Twitter just came on.

'I forgot to log off,' I thought, groaning. I was about to close it when something caught my eye.

KevinHotQuinn followed you.

I felt myself burning with rage.

Oh no you don't!

I quickly logged off from Twitter and sighed. I didn't know why I didn't just blocked him, but I was just in too much shock. I flipped my hair and looked at the clock.

6:30 p.m.

Mum was calling us for dinner, and I haven't even started on my homework yet.

Jeez great.

I went into the kitchen, where Kyle was stuffing his mouth with chicken pot pie. I smacked his head and he stuck his tongue out at me. I grabbed a spoon and gulped down the pie.

Dad was coming home late tonight, so I probably won't see him. Mum had just finished baking two dozen chocolate cupcakes for some party, and she was frosting them.

"I gotta do my homework," I said, and walked upstairs to my room. I hit my bed as I put my laptop on my knees and typed away.

My phone beeped when I was halfway through the essay.

It was from Derek.

Oh no.

We need to talk.

I woke up the next morning when my alarm went off.

I had a headache all night figuring out what I was going to say to Derek.

Relax, Kayla! It's not like he proposed to you!

Great.

My brain was on his side.

I hopped into the shower and was picking an outfit from my closet when-

"Hey, Kay!" Willow suddenly opened my bedroom door and I shrieked. "Will! I was changing!" I yelled at her. She grinned and threw some clothes on my bed. "Pick from these," she said. "You're popular now, Kay. You can't wear... That."

She gestured to the black and white collared shirt I was holding. I scoffed and put it back in my closet. "Fine," I said.

I looked through the clothes Willow brought.

Which involved a lot of short skirts.

I finally decided on a sleeveless white top with knee-length black shorts. "I'm wearing this with a jacket!" I said, and took out a leather jacket from my closet.

Willow left me to change and after that I walked downstairs, seeing Willow eating my pancakes.

"Hey!" I yelled as I sat down beside her. Mum handed a new stack of pancakes for me to eat.
