Chapter 1- Was that an insult?
Melanie

"ALEX!" I scream out from downstairs, "ALEXA!" I scream once again, but get no response in return. I go upstairs to her room only to find her with her headphones and her phone, lying down on her stomach in her school uniform.

She's an eighth grader, but she acts like she's in high school.

I yank her headphones off of her head and take her phone. She looks at me wide eyed, "why'd you do that! I was making some sick beats and I didn't even save it!" She exclaims

"Take your lazy ass downstairs and go eat breakfast before you get late for school and I get another lunch time detention because of you." I said, "how many have you had anyways?"

"Three detentions in a row! I don't want another one." I reply,

She walks downstairs and I follow her downstairs. We both have our breakfast and I drive her to school before driving myself to Rosewill High School, which is approximately a 15 mins drive.

I turn on the radio and listen to Fetish by Selena Gomez playing on Virgin Radio. Oops, I completely forgot to introduce myself.

Hey guys! I'm Melanie Miller. I'm a senior student and the captain of Rosewill High's girls volleyball team as well as the basketball team. Yeah, it took me a lot of hard work to get there. I had my first boyfriend in senior year, had my first kiss in senior year and lost my virginity in senior year. I know it's not the kind of information you share but whatever. And you guys must be thinking, why did all of this happen so late and in senior year? But now that y'all are a part of my life, you'll understand everything in detail but slowly slowly.

I park my car in the parking lot of our school and sigh in relief as I'm here before time. I walk through the grand doors of our school and immediately hear the banters and chatters of students standing by their lockers.

Of course every high school has their student classification and our school doesn't fall behind. Our school has a lot of classifications, example:
• The jocks
• The mean girls
• The nerds
• The geeks
• The "I'm too pretty to be using my brains" girl group- and yes, the are completely different than the mean girls.
And many more that I can't think off.

Where do I stand? I have no idea, but I guess I'm a bit of all except of the last group I mentioned. Every student in school lives a high school movie, sometimes as the show stopper or sometimes as the guy/girl who sits in the corner and never gets noticed.

I walk to my locker only to notice my best friend Emma flirting with Nathan Jones- one of the jocks- and kisses him on the cheek before he leaves. I walked up to her and,

"What the fuck was that?"

"What?" She asks innocently, "you obviously know what I'm talking about," I said,

"No I don't," she says and starts walking away. I run up to her and walk with her, "you kissed him and you even know that he isn't your type."

"I'm just having fun and playing around, it's not like I'm serious." She says and chuckles.

"One day this fun of yours will get you in trouble,"

"Yeah right!" She said while rolling her eyes.

We walked towards our English lit class and passed the Mean girls. "Oh my god she's such a bitch, she stole my boyfriend!" "I fucking know right, that slut needs to stop gawking on others boyfriends." "She's such a hoe!" Me and Emma laughed after mimicking what they said.

"Hey!"

We turned around to see the mean girls walking towards us. "Were you mimicking us?" The leader, Kendall asked.

"Congratulations Kendall, you just made a huge discovery!" I said and me and Emma laughed while applauding.

"If you wanna be like us, just join our group. Although, I would never do that." She said.

"I'm glad you said that. My standards aren't too low anyways." I replied,

"Was that an insult?"

"Your pretty little brain at least worked enough to figure that out."

"You bitch!"

"That's me, that's what I am." I said, turned around and walked away with Emma, leaving Kendall and her minions in the middle of the hallway with their mouths hung open.

"She deserved that" Emma said, "of course she deserved that," I agree

"I just noticed, you aren't late today!"

"Good morning Em."

"How?"

"Just had to wake Alex up early, and maybe screaming her name out."

"Don't you think you're becoming a bit harsh towards her?" She asks

"I have to, Em. After mom and dad passing away, she's become out of control. I've been getting complaints, she's been getting into detentions, bunking classes, and getting into fights with guys and girls. I've got a complaint about her beating up a guy and giving him a black eye because he insulted her best friend Lara." I answered, "I mean I would've done that too."

"Now I know where she gets her badass attitude from." Emma said and we chuckled while entering our class.

The day started pretty well, and I'm hoping it continues like that.
