Behind The Lies

Chapter 6- The Reveal

>>>Recap: Zoey puts Chloe through her special "training" to help her.<<<

Chloe's Pov

The next day, I am extremely nervous to walk into school. What if everyone just makes more fun of me? What if I look like a clown? I tap my fingers on the dashboard of Zoey's car repeatedly until Kylie gives me a "calm down" look, and I resort to biting my lip.

"Chloe. You're gorgeous. People's jaws will drop to the floor when they see you. All you have to do is strut through the hallway like how we taught you, look Jake right in the eye, and head off to your class. Remember, you're not plain old Chloe. you're confident, bold and sassy." Zoey looks me right in the eye, giving me an encouraging smile.

"Go show'em what you're made of!" Kylie adds in.

With a deep breath, I get out of the car and make my way towards the doors. You can do this Chloe. And with a deep breath, I push the doors open, and walk through. The scene that happens is deja vu, except there are more shocked glances and whispers.

"Woah, when did she get so pretty?"

"Look at her hair!"

"OMG. Who ARE you?" That comment came from the one and only Kim Cothane.

"I'm C-H-L-O-E" I spell out as I move my finger from one side to another, then I turn around and left her staring after the place where I had been.

"WAIT WHAT? Does she mean Chloe as in the new girl last week? The really ugly one? That...is not possible..." I hear her exclaim to her "clones" behind her.

"I think she is actually a new student playing a prank on us, there is no way she's CHLOE.."

"But her eyes are exactly the same as hers! What if it IS her?"

"Don't be stupid, Emily, of course it's not her!"

I hide a smile as I turn the next corner and see the place where all the "popular guys" hang out. The chatter going on immediately dies down, and one boy even wolf-whistles at me. This time, I keep a poker face on, because they don't deserve my recognition.

"Woah, where did those braces and the glasses go? You're looking all dolled up girl."

"Damn, you should've shown us this side of you sooner!"

"Do you want to go out with me?"

I give that boy a disgusted look, before making my way towards the door to the English classroom. Meanwhile, Jake is casually leaning against the lockers, watching in amusement as the scene plays out, but for a split second, I see something flash in his eyes before they went back to the humorous glint. Maybe I am just imagining things...

I safely slip into English class, which I share with Zoey, and give her a thumbs up and a mouthed "thank you". She just smiles and shakes her head in reply.

"That was all you back there, Chloe!" she whispers softly to me, just as my phone buzzes in my pocket.

I pull it out and see that it is a message from Silena. It read:"You go girl! Kim and her clones are still wondering if you are actually Chloe!"

I smile and pocket my phone just as Mr Coremez enters the classroom.
