Being Popular Is Hard

Chapter 5

This weekend has been pretty hard. I already have 17 cuts on my hand. I like Kai but like a friend and my friends just destroyed my relationship with him. I don't want him to be my date. On top of that, Sophie broke up with his best friend, Zach. Sophie is fine with me dating him as she itself told me to date him. But moving in with him is really too much.

I walked down the hallway to my locker which is right beside Sophie's. Sophie was there taking her books, but she just ignored me. Then, it clicked to me that, the most popular girl is moving in with the most popular guy has to be a gossip which probably everybody got to know. As far as I remember, I didn't tell anyone about it, not even Sophie. Probably, Kai told his friends and it started spreading. I swear I'll kill him.

"Hi, Sophie," I said when I reached Sophie's seat. Unfortunately, she was in no mood to talk.She got up and left the class. I didn't go after her because I thought if she doesn't want to talk to me then why to talk to her. I don't want to talk to someone who just ignored me because I moved in with her ex-boyfriend's best friend. I don't have a choice. I can't run away from my own house or something.

Classes started and to my surprise, our homeroom teacher was on a leave, so we had Mrs. Lee instead of Mrs. William. 

"Students, stand and bow. Now, as a substitute, I have been given permission to allow you all sit wherever you all want as it's valentines day. Happy Valentine's Day!" said Mrs. Lee leaving the class to hustle-bustle.

I wanted to go and sit with Sophie and Jenny but Sophie didn't allow me to. Jenny, my loyal friend, left Sophie and sat with me and Harrison. We talked and laughed a lot during classes. In fact, Harrison was told to stand out for an entire period because he was laughing too much. But he wasn't the only one because four more students were with him. It was so much fun. But I really wanted to sit with Sophie, so I decided I will go and talk with Sophie during the break. 

The break came and I went to Sophie's seat. She wasn't there, I thought she would be on the terrace. I went up and saw her standing by the rail and sobbing. 

"Sophie, I am sorry. I can't do anything about it. I have to live with Kai. Just please don't ignore me." said I apologizing for something I wasn't supposed to about.

"It's not your fault, why are you apologizing. It's not that I'm upset about you and Kai. But the thing is I am kinda changing my school." said Sophie.

I couldn't help it, tears just rolled down my eyes. My best friend leaving me out of the blue. I wonder if she told Jenny or if anyone knew about it. I wasn't supposed to apologize. She was supposed to. I wanted to go home and cut my hand again. I couldn't face her at all. Neither could she. Sophie left. After five minutes or so, I turned around to leave and saw Kai standing there staring t my face filled with tears. Why is he suppose to see me like this?
