Chapter Eight

 Anyways school went by fast. I got a ton of looks when I actually started to hang out with "the group" because then people noticed me. AND I was mistaken for SAVANNAH PARKS at least 3 times. But a perfect day can never be too perfect...well if you’re anything like me. It all started in gym. I was walking with Sammie to the locker room (our schools #1 place to hear all the new drama) when I saw Valerie Mays talking to Luke Maxwell.

"Oh my god Jo! You would not believe what that SKANK did!" Sammie whispered as she pointed to Valerie. Just then Val leaned in and pecked Luke on the cheek. What. The. HELL! "Everyone's been telling me that they hooked up! Like Karen Dailey told Ashley and Ashley told Savannah and Savannah told ME that Luke and Valerie like...did the deed or something close to that" Sammie said holding onto my hand "That SLUT probably gave him a BJ!" That's when the anger hit me. The boy that I LOVED going over and hooking up with a pathetic wannabe!? I raged over to Savannah and Ally who were changing and whispered something in Ally's ear but I end up...just saying it. "That whore Valerie Mays? You know her?" I say just loud enough so the group next to us hears. "She..." I had to think of something fast or it would look like I was lying, even though I was, "Valerie has herpes!" I almost yell. The words slip out of my mouth like gold and pearls and gems, and the gossip-craved "treasure hunters" come on in.

"Oh my god! Are you serious?" one of the chubby girls from the next group over whispers. "Someone text Karen and tell her that!" another blonde giggles. Ally's jaw drops and Savannah laughs uncontrollably. Sammie steps away from me. "Whoa Jord" She breaths but when I look at her she's biting her lip trying not to smile. The whole locker room was giggling and whispering and texting their friends about "Valerie's Herpes". When Sammie and I exit the locker room after changing into Juicy Couture sweats and Armani tanks she whispers to me and says "Jealous much?" Sammie pulled me over to the gymnastic mats. "JoJo, Valerie is like going to," Sammie chuckled "like find out! But her reputation and everything will disappear before she can do anything, well done!" Sammie uncontrollably laughed holding a small freshly nail-painted hand over her mouth.

"Jo since when do you have it out for Valerie?" A small voice asked. I turned to face a flushed Noel Cates with a frustrated look on her face. "I just...It just slipped-" I started, but Sammie interrupted. "You know what? Noely? I think it's none of your business, that Herpes Whore Valerie? She just happened to mess with the wrong girls" Sammie said sticking up for me. "You know what Sammie?" Noel spoke "You’re such a b-". "Shut it Noel" I snapped back as I watched Noel Cates slowly back away. Sammie rolled her eyes straightening out her Juicy Sweats. I followed her back to the locker room where we waited until Ms. Obeck blew the shrill whistle signaling that gym was over.

Sammie pulled me into the hallway but then someone else grabbed my arm. It was Luke, my Luke...well Valerie's Luke. "Jordan did you tell everyone that Val had Herpes!?" Luke yelled rage firing in his eyes. "Come on Luke, it's just a rumor and sometimes rumors are true" I sneered. Soon Ally and Lauren ran up to us piping in and agreeing. "Well...I didn't give it to her" Luke whispered to me his nose close to my lips. "Easy, break up with her before people start thinking that you gave it to her," I sneer. Luke shrugs and walks passed me to meet up with Jaden. A sudden blast of silence went over the hall then whispers rose we all turned to stare at the girl standing at the end of the hallway, Valerie. I scoffed, un-doing my ponytail fluffing out my hair. Val must've heard the rumor because she had red eyes and her cheeks were bright red, the color of Sammie's 'Crazy Red Hot' Lip-gloss. She looked at everyone else scanning the room and then her eyes flew to me and Lauren and Ally and Savannah and Sammie. "You" she mouthed as she ran into the bathroom.

I felt a rush come over me as I bit my lip. "Loser much?" I heard someone say. I turn around to see Sammie, smiling proudly her chest high in the air and an 'I-Just-Schooled-A-Lame-Loser' look on her face. "Herpes whore!" Someone shouted. A group of wannabes, including Karen Dailey, laughed flicking their blonde hair over their shoulders almost mechanically. "Dumb slut!" Ally giggled pulling Savannah to her side. "Yeah," Luke's familiar voice rang "I don't know who she got it from but there's no way I want Valerie's diseased self" A group of boys laughed and hooted for Luke. "Come on Jordan!" Sammie yelled for me as the girls trotted down the hallway. "Yeah JoJo, we'll be late for Amy's little surprise!" Ally giggled. "Shut up Al," Sammie said striking Ally with a stern look "Could you BE more obvious". I carefully scooted over to them trying to catch up.

(Ohh yum Luke(; ->)
