Leafy's POV

...What is this!? A back to school party in the hall? AND I WAS INVITED!!!! Wow, ya know, ever since the finally, I thought everybody had either chose to forget or ignore me. And also, the party being held by THEE alliance-- FreeSmart! With the picky girl Pencil, the mean-ish girl Match, the fragile girl Bubble, the ditzy one Ruby, the well-read one Book and the one who always wanted revenge on me Icy.

"OMG! Like, Leafy! So glad that you, like, came!" a what I felt was sarcastic voice chimed behind me. I was prepared to see Match. My green hair whipped me face, and her's. 

She still smiled her what seemed to me like a fake smile at me. I noticed that her alliance wasn't with her, she was alone. And she looked so...horrible! She was usually the well dressed, but today, she was in a pale brown tank top and brown shorts that reaches her knees, not to mention her red hair, it was in a bed head-like messy bun.

"Where's your alliance?" I asked, then I realized that I had a throat full of frogs.

"They're like, late. Anyways, would you, like, like to greet the students with me?" Match let lose her hair and re-tied them into a lose ponytail. SHE WANTS PEOPLE TO YELLED ANGRY WORDS AT ME WHEN THEY WALK THROUGH THE DOOR!!! That's why she invited me!

"You know, everyone kinda hates me. So, I'd better move into some corner..." I replied while edging away.

She grab hold of my wrist tightly. "Nonsense! YOU ARE GREETING THE STUDENTS WITH ME AND MY ALLIANCE AND THAT'S THAT." she said firmly and pulled me towards the front door, and that's when my old friend Pin came in wearing her usual red dress.

"Hey Match, hey Leaf- Wait what? Leafy!? Why are you here?" Pin exclaimed. 

I sighed and opened my mouth to explain, but Match spoke before I did.

"I like, invited her. You all like, hate her so like, much that I like, want you all to be buddies like season 1!" Match said.

Wait, what? Match WASN'T trying to get other people to hate me? She was getting me to socialize with my ex-friends.

"Friends, yeah. IF SHE DIDN'T STEAL DREAM ISLAND FROM THE DESERVED WINNER!" Pin replied. I felt tears coming up, they were talking as if I wasn't standing half a meter away from them.

"OMG! Pin, you've got to, like, give someone a chance!" Match said angrily.

Pin hung her head and walked away.

Unfortunately for me, next came Needle.

"Hi Needle!" Match said cheerfully.

"Hey Match. Wait, is that...LEAFY!!!???" Apparently, Needle's first instinct when seeing me at a party was slapping me in the face.

"Needle, calm down. Look, she's got no knives." Match gestured towards me.

"Yeah right. She could be hiding them. Thank goodness I voted Firey to win instead of you! You better keep distance from me at the party!" Needle walked away.

Third time's the charm? Well not for me. For who came next was...

"FIREY! OMG, you like, actually came!" It was no secret that Match had a crush on Firey. Even if she didn't tell you.

"Uh, yeah. I did. And who's that? Are you new here?" Firey turned to me. I wish he was actually playing dumb. But no. He literally forgot me.

"That's Leafy, you moron." Match answered rudely.

"Leafy? Um... Yeah, so if she's Leafy then how come I'm a moron?" Firey crossed his arms.

I couldn't stop myself. I face-palmed.

"Ugh! You've gotta like, stop playing dumb, Firey. You like, saved her in the finally while in a hang glider." Match said.

"Since when did I fly a hang glider to save the new girl?"

"I'M  NOT A NEW GIRL FIREY I'VE BEEN HERE FOR AS LONG AS YOU DID." Being so quiet the last few minutes, my hoarse voice finally spoke a sentence.

"Yeah right. Good luck making new friends Leafy!" Firey said and went off.

FreeSmart arrived and Match explained her plan. Bubble hugged me.

"Hope you make some friends, Leafy!" she said.

I've been so quiet that I forgot how to speak. Or at least reply.

There was a tap on my back, I turned around and saw Flower, the annoyingest (that's not even a word) person on earth. 

"H-Hi Flower." I said and coughed, my throat doesn't feel raspy anymore. I was ready for a quarrel.

"Looks like you've got courage to addend a party," she said. Her pink and yellow hair bouncing around in her ponytail. 

"Looks like Match was sweet enough to invite you to the back to school party!" I shot back.

"Sweet indeed. What are you doing now, apologizing to everyone when they walk into the door, or throw knives at the when they walk through the door?" Flower laughed.

I felt both angry and sad. Angry because Flower is being annoying to me, sad because she was right about one thing: I need to apologize to everyone.

She didn't wait for my reply, she turned around and walked away, her light neon pink and yellow skirt flowing in a breeze that no one felt.

I need to apologize, right?

"Firey nearly killed me with a Ferris Wheel." I muttered under my breath and crossed my arms, I saw my watch: 9:00 sharp. I've stood here for 30 minutes and all I've got were angry comments.

Match was being sarcastic all along.
