Kendall frantically rushed around her bedroom trying to find her mascara. She looked in her vanity, under her queen size bed, in her target make up pouch and finally found it in her Victoria secret shopping bag from her last shopping trip. She sighed in relief and quickly applied the brush to her lashes. She definitely put on more then she needed to but as long as she looked good, nothing else mattered.

"Come on Kendall!" Her mother screeched from downstairs. She could tell by her tone of voice that she was up late, probably fighting with her father again. Kendall's mom and dad have been fighting recently because Jill had suspicions that he was cheating on her.

But what if he was? What if her parents decided to get a divorce? Kendall took deep breaths as she tried to breathe out her anxiety. In just year 6 Kendall was diagnosed with anxiety from being bullied from her appearance. So Kendall asked her parents if she could go to the gym and start to eat healthy and buy new clothes. And in an instant she became the most popular girl in school. Now in year 9 she still had anxiety but it wasn't as vicious.

Kendall pushed it to the back of her mind as she quickly checked her appearance. Her Colette handbag hung loosely on her arm, her denim jacket and floral skirt stuck to her body making her look flawless. Kendall's parents didn't have much money to spend on clothes and shoes so she wore clothing from simple stores that were cheap but still looked great.

Her black ballet flats moved noiselessly down the stairs and meet her mom and the bottom. "Ready," she said jumping off the last step. Kendall's older sisters used to drive her to school but since they've gone to college her mom had to drive her. If her mom didn't wake her up at 6:45am and make sure they leave at at least 8:15am.

Jill unlocked their silver commodore and Kendall hopped into the passenger seat. "I don't like you wearing all that make up to school, Kendall. What happens if it rains?" Jill said backing out of the driveway. Sadly, Kendall lived 3 streets away from school which meant the drive to school was very short.

They pulled up in front of the huge building with hundreds of high schoolers inside. "Bye mom love you!" Kendall said kissing her mom on the cheek. She scrambled out of the car as Jill flew off. Kendall strutted into school and approached her locker. As she opened the red locker, a note flew out.

Josh wants to ask you out!!!

She rolled her eyes as she heard snickers from the nerds and whipped her head around to face them. She angrily walked over to them and shoved the note in their face. "Do you think this is funny? Huh? Because it's not!" She yelled. A girl with blonde hair and blue eyes stepped forward.

"Listen here, 'honey.' You used to be one of us so you can't talk. And we know exactly why you wanted to leave us." Kendall's eyes widened as the blonde nerd had a smug look on her face. "Oh and the names Brynn, you'll need to remember it." And with that, they walked off and for once Kendall let them.

"Alright class, I hope you all studied for this test. We did tell you about it," Kendall's maths teacher said slapping the test booklet onto their desks. She gulped as Kendall completely forgot about it. And by that she means went out shopping with her friends to avoid it.

"Please write your name, class and teacher at the top then we can begin." Kendall nervously wrote her name in the top right corner in her lucky blue pen. "Ugh, if I get higher then 50% I'll be happy," Paige whispered then laughed. Paige and Kendall were best friends and had been since before elementary school.

Kendall forced a laugh back then turned back to her paper. The truth was, Kendall and her parents cared about her grades. She needed to pass every test or she wouldn't get to go shopping. "You may begin now!" Her teacher snapped hitting start on her stopwatch.

Everyone flipped over their tests including Kendall. She had barely read the first question before realising this test was way too hard for her. The brunette looked around and noticed most people were onto the next page. Sitting on Kendall's left was Paige, still on the first page but she was almost done. But on Kendall's right sat the blonde nerd who Kendall saw her name was Brynn. Brynn was onto the next page and Kendall suddenly got an idea. Her wondering eyes started to write down the answers from Brynn's sheet and in no time was finished.

She wasn't proud of her actions but whatever needed to be done, had to be done. "Thank you students. The test is over. Please hand your tests back and talk quietly amongst yourselves." Kendall handed her test in then sat down. "Well wasn't that easy!" Paige laughed.

But oh how easy it was for Kendall.

School finished and all the students came rushing out of the big brick building. Kendall passed Maddie Ziegler who looked angry but then had a devious smirk. She's probably planning something, She thought. She also passed Kalani Hilliker who had a horrible vest on and stockings and was carrying her folder. Then lastly she noticed Chloe Lukasiak jogging through the crowd with her earbuds in. Little did Kendall know these girls would become her best friends.

Little did she know...

"Go upstairs and do your homework." Jill said as they walked through the door. Kendall danced up the stairs then dropped her bag onto her bed. She flopped onto her bed dramatically and sighed, as she'd had a big day. She recapped her day then sat up and unzipped her bag. She grabbed out her homework and put it on her desk then heard her phone beep.

Wanna FaceTime? - Paige💋

Kendall replied yes then they started to talk. They talked about school and fashion; things girls talk about. Paige started to go on about a new lipgloss she got and that was when Kendall realised she still needed to do her homework.

"Uh, Paige? I've gotta go." Kendall said. Paige gave her goodbyes then hung up. Kendall sat down at her desk and opened up her maths book. Even after the test the teacher still gave them homework. As she opened her maths book a piece of paper came out.

1000 words, then you're gone.

Kendall was shocked as she knew exactly why someone would want to do this to her.

{ I am sooooooooo sorry for not posting in a while. I have loads of great ideas but they're all for the end of the book which frustrates me. But anyway please vote, comment and share to your friends :) }
