*PLEASE NOTE THIS IS UNEDITED*
Here I am. Caitlin Mathews. In this worthless school. I only have one friend, Sarah. We are the nerds, well i am.. I'm the more curvy shy one with the glasses and Sarah is semi popular, pretty, flawless, skinny... She is dragged down by me though, I drag her down on the 'food chain'. Sarah could get any guy she wanted.. she wasn't the brightest but we live in a town where you are judged by your looks and you wealth before personality. we both scored well in wealth but only Sarah scored in looks as well.
You're probably wondering how we met... well i don't know. How did we even meet? I think it was in english.... or maybe it was math... it was in one of my favourite classes I remember that. The only subjects I hate are sport, health and science... not too many.. i mean not really...
'Miss Mathews' I can't believe I spaced out of science again.. I mean how awkward would it be if... ' Miss Mathews.' ... oh chicken schnitzel pizza pie.. 'yes Mr Dickman.. I mean Mr Stickman' I smirked he wouldn't give me a detention or exit. I'll be fine...wait... He's still staring at me... i look over at Sarah and she mouths '30 seconds' to me... shit.. 'MISS MATHEWS ARE YOU LOOKING FOR A DETENTION?' he screamed, I'm sure you could here that from 100 kilometres away. 'N-no sir.' i stuttered cursing under my breath at myself. 'collect your things and exit yourself to the detention room please.' After I picked my jaw off my desk i gathered my things the whole class staring at me. i slammed the classroom door on my way out feeling the heat rise to my cheeks. I had no idea where the detention room was. I scurried off to the office and saw Glenys, my favourite office lady. ' Hi Darl, you're meant to be in class, what are you doing out here?' i paused.. Glenys won't tell mum.. i hope..
i explained the situation to Glenys, she agreed not to tell my mum and told me where to find the detention room. i rounded a few corners and found room 56c i could here people inside, i tried opening the door, it wouldn't budge.. it's locked.. the people inside the room went quiet until they erupted with laughter. Ok Caitlin you have a bobby pin and you've seen it on movies, just give it a go! i straightened out my bobby pin and took the plastic end off, I shoved it in the lock and jiggled it then it turned. I let out a little shriek of excitement, I slowly turned the handle and stepped in, i kept my eyes on the ground and took a seat at the back of the room. I took my phone out and messaged Sarah
C~ 'I don't want to look up yet, there are other people who haven't said a peep since I walked in.. HELP'
I fiddled with my phone acting busy until Sarah messaged me back.
S~ 'look up you idiot!'
I looked down at the text and decided I was just being stupid, they would all be doing something anyway. I took a deep breath and exhaled. My eyes slowly looked up to see 4 guys sitting on the desks with feet on chairs, staring intently at me. I immediately recognised them, the 4 popular, stereotypical 'bad boys'. Corey Smith, Rigby Johnson, Max Gordon and last but not least Jace Williams. I smirked and looked down at my phone to text Sarah.. before Max had to break the silence 'that's it?' I looked up with a questioning look.. 'What?' They looked at each other before Max spoke up, 'You're the fat nerd... whats your name.. Crusty Cristy? Cari-' I cut him off.
'Yep, I'm that fat, ugly, nerd that no one likes.. You don't need to know my name. I really don't know what your problem is.'
'Glad we agree on those things.. accept I do need to know your name... or we will have to come up with ones ourselves babe.'
'Don't call me that. will tell you idiots my name when the lunch lady serves a meat that isn't a mystery.' I got up to walk out of the classroom. I stood outside the door until the bell went.

Lunch came around pretty quick considering I had sport and science before. I was walking to the cafeteria when I bumped into something, rather someone, I said sorry and went to walk around them, keeping my head down. I was stopped in my tracks when they stepped in front of me again. ' I'm sorry, can I help you?' my voice came out a little shakier than I hoped for. I got no response of i stepped to try and go round them again. Once again they stepped in front of me. I looked up to see Rigby, his eyes were cold and dark.. ' I'm sorry, now will you let me go now?' I said in a semi sarcastic voice, 'no.' his voice was low and rough, slightly hoarse as if he was dehydrated. I turned around to walk around the other way.
I eventually got to the cafeteria and walked over to my normal 6 seater table in the far corner that Sarah and i always sat at together. I got a fruit salad today, the mystery meat didn't even look like meat today.. It looked like vomit that had hardened over a few days. Now way was I eating that. I got my phone out and began flicking through Tumblr. 15 minutes had passed and Sarah still wasn't here, I decided to text her..
C~ Hey, where are you? xx
S~ Don't worry be there soon! xx
Knowing Sarah she was probably chatting up her next victim. Her goal is to sleep with the whole football team.. I know she's well... IDK how to explain her.... I kept looking at my phone but I felt like people were watching me. I got a text from a random number...
?~ Sorry about Max and Rigby...
C~ Who is this?
?~ You already know who I am, just figure it out. I know you're smart babe ;)
C~ Leave me alone Jace or Corey or whoever you are.
?~ Can't do that
I decided not to respond to that last text. I could see Sarah coming over with Nachos I started to relax a little when I saw her. Her blonde hair flowing behind her, catching every guys gaze. It wasn't just a normal blonde, it has a gold undertone which just made it better than it already was. Naturally perfect curls.. Damn I wish my morning routine was as effortless as hers.
I told her what happened in Detention when my gaze snapped to 4 guys standing behind my best friend...
