Queen A

Chapter 7 (Queen A goes viral?)

Author's note: XXX Thank you very much for 150+ reads! XXX

I took off the tank top and fixed myself. I decided to stop the experiment and deal with my normal life. It was all too crazy.

"Linna, Samson went to buy some veet cream." Alex said as I opened the door.
"Yeah, Alex. I'll be heading home. Tell Jake I quit." I tried to tell him in the most professional way possible.
"Is it because of the incident awhile ago?"
"No. I j-just-" My phone rang loudly just when I was about to explain myself. "Hold on."

               10:30
                Mom

----------------------------

"Hello, mom?"
"I almost forgot it was election day. School's suspended, right?"
"Yeah, mom."
"Where are you?"
"At the mall. Sorry, I forgot to call."
"It's okay, sweetie. Just come home at about 12:30. Your cousin is coming over."
"Sure, mom."
"I'll be voting soon, sweetie. Have fun."
"Bye! Don't vote for Trump!"

I hung up and went outside hurriedly avoiding Alex.
"Linna, I am very sorry." He followed me, seeming truthfully guilty.
"Alex, I need to go home. My mom's looking for me."
"But you are coming back tomorrow or the next day, right?"

For some reason I did not completely understand, Alex, Jake and the others seemed to be very serious on the experiment. At that time, I was trapped in confusion. Georgina was the worst and all, but why are they so focused-too focused on making someone become better than her.

"Alex, I'm very sorry. I don't want any part of this shenanigan."

I brisk walked without turning back. I didn't want him to feel bad, honestly speaking. They weren't douches but they didn't appear gentlemen as well. Guilt rushed into my head, though I didn't want to be a victim of their fail-coming experiment.

Walking home, I tried thinking of things besides Jake's crew. I thought of tests and homework.... Then, I remembered the 'School Paper'. "Ay Caramba!" I complained in my head. I was going to see Jake AGAIN. It wouldn't only be awkward, it would be guilt-killing. Thinking of it now, it would've all been easier to leave if he was just a douche.

"Hey, Linna! D'you wanna play video games?" Kevin greeted me as I entered the house.
"Not in the mood." I said sounding arrogant (normal big sister stuff, right?)
"Well, I don't want to play with Mrs. Norris."
Oh, yes! I almost forgot that mom and dad weren't arround.
"If I play, will you stir up a cup of hot chocolate for me?" When Kevin wouldn't stop begging me to play with him, I would bargain. Video games=hot choco\massage.
"Fine. ANYTHING but Mrs. Norris."

I plopped my backpack at the living room couch and rested my feet on top of the center table.
"Do you want extra sugar with that?" Kevin asked from the kitchen.
"Ughhhhhhh......" In our household, ugh or uh-huh meant yes and nah meant no. The words "yes" and "no" didn't apply.
I picked up the remote and watched Girl Meets World. The pilot episode was showing (my favorite episode).

No matter how entertaining Disney Shows were, they weren't even close to reality. In reality, New York subways are the craziest areas in the world, not the most exciting (as portrayed on GMW). 

Kevin came bringing 2 hot chocolates and crackers.
"Not that show again." He complained, sitting next to me.
"Kev, it isn't that bad."
"Riley's an idiot that gets an A+ just because her dad is the teacher."
I laughed, weakly punching his arm. He was logically right though.
"Smarty pants, where's Mrs. Norris?" I asked, realizing I haven't seen her the whole time.
"She's sleeping like a hibernating bear." Mrs. Norris was 75 years old. I wondered why mom and daw would even hire her. "Now, let's turn that horrible show off and play!"
"Ugh."
Kevin set up the controls and connected the game. "We're playing Zoomzooms."
"That's lame, Kev."
"Well, it's the only option. The other games are education related because mom took away the awesome games."

Just when we were about to start the game, there was a knock at the door.
"Must be mom and dad." I thought.
I rushed to the door, fixing myself. I saw Risa, ex friend, horrible person Risa. "Hey, Linna."
"What are you doing here?"
"I'm here to apologize."
"No, someone might see you talking to me, right? Your reputation/road to fame might get sabotaged." I absolutely loved sarcastic talking.
"Linna, we've been best friends since 3rd grade. You have to cut me some slack."
"Let me get this straight. You are demanding an apology because we used to be 3rd grade besties?"
"Linna, I didn't tell you to leave."
"But you wanted me to leave." My eyes were filled with emotional contempt and anger deep with in me rose to the highest point.
"My apology isn't the only thing I came for. I want to tell you about the guys you're hanging out with."
"Risa, I left them. If you want't to date one or more of those guys, go ahead."
"Linna, do the experiment. You'll understand soon."

Seconds later, she left. The experiment made no sense at all. Why are people so thrilled to hire someone to outshine Georgina? 

I went back to the living room where Kevin was furiously waiting for me to play with him.
"No more distractions?" He asked.
I shook my head in response and we started playing Zoomzooms. It was a very unamusing...in other words, lame game.

In the end, we weren't sure who win the game. I think the game lets everyone win.

My phone started beeping endlessly. I've never received so much notifications.
"Bleep blaap. Wow, Linna. You're finally getting texts."
I laughed sarcastically. But to kids, sarcasm doesn't apply.

At first, I thought I was just added in an irrelevant group chat together with random people. I was astonished to see that I actually had facebook messages and tweets. I was astonished enough by the tweets and messages, but I was overwhelmed by the content of the tweets and messages. THEY WERE ALL ABOUT QUEEN A!

@edchrecjniecinjf
Sometimes, we just need someone who can stand up for us, the victims. Queen A, be that someone. @linna.na

@suckapple
Queen A, no pressure but you have a thousand people counting on you. @linna.na

@bleepblaap
No matter what people say about you, remember that you are always a queen. @linna.na

@jumperbloop
Queen A, come out. @linna.na

Those were only a few I could recall. I started to feel the pressure instead of encouragement. What did they want with a geek without a social life? I wasn't a queen. I was simply a confused student. That day, I gained 100 more followers. It was simply unbelievable. 

Was this Queen A for the better?
