The exchanger

Twenty-five

*buzz, buzz, buzz*
I really want to take my phone out my pocket, I really do. I suppose I can...the main ceremony is over and great grandma is singing songs. I slip my phone out my pocket...loads and loads of texts from Lizzie, I smile, what's she been sending me now? But my smile doesn't last long...
25 texts from Lizzie hallowood:
I can't Believe u!!!
OMG I THOUGHT YOU WERE MY FRIEND!
YOUR A USER.
I hate U!
Omg I'm crying so much.
NO, YOU'RE THE ONE THATS PATHETIC!!!
I can't believe you were only friends with me so you would be popular!
AWNSER ME YOU PATHETIC COW!
Wait till the others hear about this!
And so on...
What?!
I scroll down every text, what does she mean...
Maybe she's got the wrong person, I guiltily slip my phone back into my pocket and smile at my new ring. 'Hey, Tilly where did you get that ring?' Mum asks. 'Oh um...it's a old one of Jessica's... I browed it.' I say, going red. 'Aww darling, that's nothing to be ashamed of! I'm sure Jessica would have loved for you to have it!' Mum says giving me a little hug. Honestly I don't think Jessica would have.

I walk into school the next morning, trying to block out the images of Lizzies text, my new ring gleaming in the sun. When I reach the normal meet up place everyone is circling Lizzie who looks awful, I mean REALLY awful...her hair is knotted and all messy, it looks like she's slabbed some rubbish mascara on but black splotches are running down her face...her school uniform is all over the place. I walk over to them, very slowly. Lizzie glances at me, not taking a breath...the other girls eyes follow Lizzies glance, right towards me...and that's when the Riot begins. I'm being pushed, shoved, SLAPPED! 'You are so mean! I literally wanna snap you!' Screams Lola. 'GOOD FOR NOTHING USER!' Lizzie shouts, I feel like my insides are being punched. But Lizzie stays where she was holding her phone, a smirk forming on her face. 'Oh don't worry I didn't tell the others what you said...GIRLS who would like to know?!' She calls her voice all cracky. I go red, really red. 'So this is what Tilly said; I think Lizzie is a cow. I mean it. She thinks she's the best at everything, but she's not, she lies...I mean come on! Of course she a billionaire, not. She probably tells that to everyone! So she can be more popular. She pathetic. But if you're friends with her you're friends with everyone else...' Lizzie looks up at me, then everyone else looks up at me. Silence. Then screaming. 'So is it true, did you write this?' Lizzie asks.
I go deep fire red.
'Ummm maybe.' I say quietly.
Louder screaming Echoes through the hallways. 'I'm so sorry Lizzie.' I cry. 'No your not! your just a ugly good for nothing user!' She says, all her other friends attacking me...literally. One of them grabs my hand. 'Omg Lizzie she has the squad ring...!' One of her many friends say. Lizzie grabs my hand angrily, pulls the ring off and throws it...right down the corridor and it hits the headteacher...right in the face. Ouch!
