Chapter 1: Meet Me and my Terrible Friends

--EM'S POV--

Oh great, here we are again.

People staring, looking at me. It's horrifying. My make-up scares them? I dyed my brown hair to blonde to make myself look less scary but still, why?

I'm Em, Emily Grace Montez. Ask one of the idiots at our school call me: 'bookworm-emo-weirdo'. I'm a senior at EastWood High. Great grades, excellent conduct but one thing is the reason i'm misunderstood.

I'm a bookworm-emo weirdo.

It was a casual Friday night, class just ended and I was walking home reading Princess Academy, a book my friend Allie forced me to read. I was walking alone when something, like a hand hit my back making me glare at the person, it was Allie Hale, grinning at me.

"Hey, you left us al- whoa, page 350 already? You're a fast reader, sure you're not skipping?" She smiled smugly at me. She deserved a smack.

Next a pinch came in my arm, I yelped out in pain and saw Monique Calman, giggling. "Cant help it, I'm sorry." She quickly replied. I kept reading, next the biggest hand pushed on my back making me trip upfront embarrassing myself to the whining grade-schoolers who kept mumbling 'sorry'. I gave them a sly smile meaning I forgave them. I turned to see who the imbecile was. It was May Collins panting like she just ran a race, which was completely impossible.

"Not my fault she made me run" She pointed to Monique who was still giggling. Monique does that whenever she wants to go home early or she wants May to lose a little fat from her. Latter?

"Whatever, lets just go" I said and continued walking and reading. I could've read in absolute noise with them babbling about guys but this time I couldn't. Their noise was the loudest thing on earth. You cant make them shut up unless you're a teacher. And that was why I was friends with them and nobody likes us.

We reached my house and I opened the front door. This was not the acceptable sight. Pauline and Dad watching together on movie night. Not dad me and the three but DAD AND PAULINE. Dad's hand was wrapped up around Pauline's waist. Pauline wasn't even paying attention to the TV screen. She was staring at her engagement ring. Eugh

"Hey sweetie" my dad called out, he let go of Pauline's waist and hugged me and kissed my forehead. I glared at Pauline but she was too busy to look. She just smiled.

Ha! He loves me more than he does to you! Take that filthy oak!

"Hey Dad" I replied and he let go of my back.

"Hey Mr. Montez and soon to be Mrs. Montez" Monique greeted. May and Allie just gave simple waves to Pauline. She smiled and hugged all three of us.

"Hello girls. Glad to see you're getting along with me now." She said cheerfully.

Yeah, getting along

"We wont be a waste of our time to you two," I said tugging my bangs to my face. "So we'll leave you two alone to enjoy this Friday afternoon." I fake smiled and ran upstairs with the three. Once we all entered the room I lay down on the bed while Monique typed away on her iPhone, Monique still trying to see if me and her brother had almost everything emo combined in our rooms and Allie? Being Allie and singing her heart out to the tune of Burn

"I'm bored" Monique said, disturbing the peaceful silence. Okay so maybe not peaceful. But may I just say that my friends aren't much fans of total silence.

"Fine then," I said standing from the bed "Talk about hot guys or whatsonots and I will be here completely ignoring you"

"Fine," May chirped "Ross Lynch"

All three of us screamed the word 'hell no' to May's face. Try saying 'Ross Lynch' in front of May's face and she will definitely consider you as a friend- no scratch that Best Friend. I dont know what kind of drugs does she take to get addicted to that guy. I mean, yes. He IS handsome. But to me, the perfect woman (sarcasm) who has perfect taste in men, he is not someone to fangirl about. Try something like Alex Pettyfer or some whatnot around our neighborhood. They'd be good.

One other thing about May is her complete and total list of her 'hot guys list'. She would go on and prefer Austin Mahone and Peeta from The Hunger Games. She would completely crush over them for over a month. She'd spend the whole Friday night doing Wikepedia researching about his birthdate and the next month, It's like he never existed. Okay okay, so maybe i'm a bit overreacting. She'd actually be the most jolly person to be with. It gets on my nerves whenever i'm reading a book and she'd all be like 'hahahahahaha everything's so funny' but, Maybe she is the bravest of all us four.

Eugh, cheesy much?

".. Oh yeah, May the part where you suddenly get addicted to watching Disney musicals" Allie retorted folding her arms. May and Monique seem to have a 'thing' for kiddy shows thanks to their little sister's shows so whenever we go to school they all scream out whatever episode came out on Sofia the First or Hello Jadoo, Allie would drag me away from them as to keep the embarrassment to themselves. And by to themselves and I mean May.

"Just because I watch Sofia the First doesn't make me a weenie" May whined.

"Yes. It. Does" Allie semi-yelled at her. See, we always had an issue about children shows since 6th Grade. Allie despised of May (with the exception of Monique) while May kept whining about childy shows and kiddy commercials.

For once in my life, Allie Hale. I am on your side.

"Says the girl who watches Barbie" May bit back smiling smugly. Me and Monique were at the state of eye widening because we have never fought about this

"I just dont get why you have to fangirl about Ross Lynch" she retorted

"Oh please," May scoffed "Like you dont fangirl about anything. Say for example, One Direction?"

Allie pushed May to the ground and pinched every single place of skin visible. Me and Monique grasped Allie's arms to prevent her from tearing May apart. This wasnt good. May should have NEVER mentioned One Direction in front of their arguments. If anyone dared to make fun of One Direction in front of Allie you would probably hate and despise of you. Allie was still on rage and May was bringing up a blank expression, rubbing the throbbing pain that built up on her arms.

"You two," I start "Are like two teenage girls on their periods. I mean you fangirl about men who don't know you and you still defend them?!" Monique cursed them under her breath and smacked May in the head. Same goes to Allie "And seriously guys. Fighting over children shows?"

And there goes a smack to my head by Allie

"You." She warns "Never. Ever talk about what I watch without the presence of men." And I actually laughed at that. "I'm so glad I have friends like you" Monique says sarcastically.

"Wow, well thanks Monique" May and Allie reply fast. Looks cant kill right? Because I may kill them right now.

"Now let us all shut up and act like regular teens and stop having an argument" I complained and folded my arms to my chest. Yes there were times wherein I absolutely loved these idiots and there were instances, like this, where I despise of them. Take for example one time where Allie told May if she ran, she'd pay for her lunch if she ran to the cafeteria. And she did run to the cafeteria and ordered Mac and Cheese, Pizza, Chicken, and Nachos. Allie uncontrollably laughed when she saw what May got and laughed and told her that she wasn't going to pay for that and they stayed angry at each other for a week.

"Okay" Monique, Allie and May say altogether staring at each other with knowing looks. What they next said almost ripped my eardrums apart.

"Josh is having a party tonight. And we are all invited."
