The Girl You Never Noticed

Elsa
"Els, do you think we should wear pink skirts or blue tomorrow?" Jasmine asked. It was obvious that Jasmine wanted to wear blue while Cindy preferred pink. Those two have never gotten along. They've always found something to bicker about and I have to be the one to break it up.

"Blue," I answered as we walked down the hall towards our lockers, our heeling clicking against the tiles. It was finally the end of the day. I could get away from everyone.

"Fine, then on Friday we're wearing pink." Cindy scowled. It was either her way or the highway. She was a sickening person to be around. I felt sorry for her poor soul freshmen year and she's never left.

I rolled my eyes. I swear, it's like this girl only thinks about herself. "We're wearing leggings with our cheer sweatshirt. We always do." I spat. Cindy scrunched up her nose in disgust and walked to her locker. As usual, her boyfriend was there waiting for her.

I twisted the lock in my locker to open it. It creaked wide open, showing off my pictures. It was mostly Merida and me, but a couple of pictures were with Jasmine and Cindy. I even have one with Eugene. I smiled and grabbed my homework. I slammed the blue locker shut and walked towards the exit receiving catcalls and whistles. As I got to the front doors, a hand reached in front of me. "Ladies first." They greeted. I turned and saw Eugene.

"Thank you." I smiled as he followed behind me. He jogged up beside me. He's your typical jock. Leatherman jacket, cocky personality, and attractiveness. He smiled his million-dollar smile and grabbed my hand.

"So, how's it going?" He asked as he swung my hand back and forth. He waved at a few people as they passed by. Everyone knew who he was.

"Alright. Cindy's still getting on my nerves." I explained.

"I'm pretty sure she gets on everyone's nerves," He chuckled as he kicked a rock in the parking lot. I smiled and shook my head. "So, where are you headed?"

"I have to go home and watch Anna. Mom doesn't trust her home alone after she almost burnt down the house." I giggled. Anna's the sweetest girl you could ever meet, but if you get on her bad side, she'll rip you to sheds. She's basically a blonde in disguise.

"Taking care of your fifteen-year-old sister. How sweet." Eugene teased. I elbowed him in the side, making him groan. Those two always fought.

"Shouldn't you be at practice?" I chuckled.

"Naw, coach canceled practice," Eugene explained. "Shouldn't you be at practice?"

"We never practice on Wednesdays." I smiled. We usually practice on Thursdays and Fridays before the game, which was nice for me. I'm secretly on the math team so I need to practice after school.

"I knew that. Anyways, do you mind if I hang at your house for a while?" Eugene questioned.

"Who's house are you at this week?" I asked. Eugene's parents divorced when he was in eighth grade. Ever since then, he has to flip flop back and forth between his mom's house and his dad's. It was a pain in the ass, but that's what they agreed on.

"Mom's." He frowned. He hated going to his mom's house. Last year, she remarried and the guy wasn't fond of Eugene. His stepdad was an ex-army man so he liked to be hard on Eugene. Eugene found it annoying because it was like the guy thought Eugene was his actual son.

"Fine, for a little bit, but you know Anna doesn't really like you. So don't take any food from her." I explained as we hopped into his truck.

"Gotcha." Eugene chuckled as he backed out of the parking lot. Eugene hit the gas and almost hit a blonde. She slapped his truck, obviously pissed at what he almost did. She raised her fist, anger starting to take over.
