I was feeling really good and positive, sprawled on my bed posting away on tumblr. In fact who said I wasn't going to have a great week, tomorrow being a school day would be fabulous, I just knew it deep down somewhere. I had better start getting ready. I needed to redo my nail polish, matte this time and I could do that myself. Maybe I could even take a picture after I was done. There, I was done

Cute huh.? Now on tumblr.
I decided to go down and get a drink as my mini fridge wasn't stocked. I skipped down the winding stairs with the balls of my feet, smiling and feeling excited for no clear reason. As I got down to the sharp bend that would bring me to the giant sized kitchen, I saw a group of people sparsely arranged comfortably around the table. Teenagers, about 5 or 6. I instinctively stepped back hiding myself from view. They looked to be around my age, maybe we would even be in the same class. I immediately thought of my appearance, needing to make a good impression. I had packed back my unruly curls earlier. As I tried to feel for wayward strands, I caught pieces of their conversation
" I'm sure she's not, most likely a royal snob, too high and mighty for the rest of us paupers" . Some girl's voice.

"What'd you say her name was again?" Another girl but a deeper voice this time.

" I know girls like this, they think the world revolves around them, everybody's princess." It was a guy this time.

Yeah, now I was really getting pissed. I slid off the band that held my full black bouncy hair and shook it out for good measure. Checking myself out
Shorts; short enough
Top; low enough
I proceeded to walk into sight..... ......
And let the superiority complex begin

And let the superiority complex begin

When I got right in the middle of them, I turned
"'oh hello'''. I said (because unlike some people, I wasn't going to throw manners away)
The caretaker looked up to me , 'Would you be needing anything'?'
'Yeah, my fridge is totally empty, I wanted a soda, maybe you could get somebody to stock it up for me.? ''
'Of course, there's no problem with that''.
''I'll just have one now. '' I walked over to the fridge , bent low and dug up my coca cola
" I'm sorry but I don't know your name"
"Oh, its Mrs Halliday.''
Mrs, hmm.
I pushed myself up and sat on the fridge, facing the unwanted, guests. It was my house, they weren't going to make me uncomfortable and run hiding.
"So, can I help out?"
Mrs H's hand were white with flour..
"Oh no, that's not necessary, you should organize your room, make it more to your taste"
"I love my room, you did a great job. I don't want to change anything"
She looked up at me so quickly
"Really?"
I nodded. "So now can I help you out?"
'No you don't, young lady' . My mom was standing at the entrance.
"It'll be your first day in school tomorrow, you need to prepare yourself"
I almost rolled my eyes, almost.
'Good day ma'am'' . My judgmental guests seemed eager to greet my mom.. As my perfect hostess mother showered attention on them, I decided to study these people.
Wow, the guys were easy on the eyes, very good looking, they were 2guys . From what I could hear, Andre and Zayn, and they were smiling, almost laughing at whatever my mother was saying and the girls, two of them, one was pretty in the conventional way. And the other in an edgy way I couldn't pull off even if I tried. . I think I heard someone called her Zara.

This was the e edgy and beautiful one -- Zara.

And I have to admit I was loving her hair

Were these people a group of supermodels or what?

I moved to leave the room when I heard my mum say
'' Isn't this nice, you've already met your mates. Now tomorrow will be easier on you".
So they went to the school I'd be attending. Four people that already hated me. Oh well. Yippee!!

"I'm sure Zara wouldn't mind helping her adjust, would you now?"

"Umm, I guess not. "

"There you go, you guys go upstairs",
And just like that, I and Zara were being ushered upstairs by my mother.

And here I thought friendship was by choice
