Sneakers And Hoodies

ii - Ms Queen Bee

Aurora made up her mind to move her "art studio" to the library where she could have her peace and reconnect with her inner doodle artist. No one would be there to disturb her, for apparently libraries were "lame".

Libraries.. lame? No, libraries were magical. Books held secrets from different universes, each having the potential the sweep you into a raging storm of emotions: happiness, sadness, anger, confusion. Aurora loved being in the protagonist's shoes, feeling every single one of their emotions.

Quickly gathering her belongings with her wavy jet black hair curtaining her face, she purposely ignored the olive skinned girl and her posse to help with her quick escape. Pens, highlighters, gel pens, all hastily stuffed into her geometric patterned pencil case. Aurora had so many of them she was convinced that the fat pouch was going to explode at any moment.

Now Nicole wasn't the one to be ignored simply. Growing up in ridiculously wealthy family, the spotlight was always trained on her. Not once has attention from admiring bystanders left her. Sleeping Ugly of all people is not going to ignore her and get away with it.

Desperate to annoy Aurora for attention, she grabbed her pencil case full of who knows what,

And flung it across the room.

Nicole wasn't always this monster in front of the now shocked Aurora. The Popular side has changed her, inside out. But more importantly, Aurora's precious highlighters and gel pens were all lying on the canteen floor, helpless and away from the cozy shelter of her now destroyed/exploded pencil case.

Meanwhile, Nicole and her posse was sneering at her as though she was mere dirt on their six inch killer heels. She just stood there, feeding on the attention she gained.

Aurora was furious, annoyed, disgusted even. She was pretty sure steam was coming out of her nose and ears at this very moment.

How dare she throw my precious across the room!

Dozens of heads were now turned towards to potentially forming cat fight. But Aurora preferred to stay in the shadows for a little bit longer. Hurrying to save herself from further humiliation and attention, she ran to the graffitied canteen wall to collect her doodling equipments (as she liked to call them).

Soon the crowd found something even more interesting to stare at than a weird girl picking up her stationary,
