Jayden was no ordinary bully. He was cute, funny, popular, and well liked.
The reason he was mean to me was because he liked me. He was a player and I wanted nothing to do with him.
"Hey there Ali," Jayden said.
"Umm hi there Jayden, sorry but I have to go now," I told him.
"Oh come on, I wanted to ask if we could start over," he said to me.
"Well you beat me up so hard once that I had to go to the hospital," I rudely retorted.
"Please? We could act as if we never met, and start over again," he said.
"When are we even gonna SEE each other?" I asked him.
"I think we go to the same school, you and I," he pondered on that for a moment.
"Yeah right like we have school together. Well, like I said, I'm gonna go now.
"Ok bye, see you at school," he said sadly.
I left without saying another word to him.
When Leigh and I met up at the cash register, we paid for everything with the money Maggie gave us and left.
We got back in the car, waited for Maggie, and when she came to the car we drove home in silence.
-------------------------------------------------
When we got home I went straight to my room.
I found a little journal/diary-like thingy and I started writing about my new life.
I loved reading and writing, but I didn't have any books yet. I would have to go to the library soon, although I still had 13 Curses to finish reading.
Then I saw that it was 9:00. Tomorrow was school. I went downstairs and said goodnight, and went back up to my fishy bathroom to brush my teeth, comb my messy hair, and take a shower.
After I was wrapped in my towel, I ran to my closet and I took out blue wool pajamas. I had 29 different pairs of pajamas, and my dirty clothes hamper has huge!
I then got into bed, and then I turned off the lights. I went straight to sleep.
------------------------------------------------
It was 7:15. I got up and looked out the window.
The morning city was roaring with life, and I was once again assured that it wasn't just a dream.
I heard Maggie calling out that breakfast was ready. I quickly got up and went to my closet.
Hmm, what to wear??? I thought. Soon I took out a white blouse, underwear, a bra, gray leggings, and a black miniskirt. I decided to take the leggings off because I wanted to wear heels to make me taller.
I picked out some cute gray heels that has rhinestones on the sides. It wasn't much, only about two inches, but it was enough to make me a little taller.
I took my black and white zebra striped backpack, and headed downstairs.
When I got downstairs, I saw a horrible sight. Leigh was dresses in yellow leggings, green neon rain boots, a neon pink tank top, and a long leopard-print skirt.
"Leigh, you can't go out like that," I exclaimed.
"But I like it," said Leigh.
I might be mad at my sister sometimes, but I could not let kids make fun of her like that.
We went upstairs and I picked out some cute chic things for her. Some gray skinny jeans, a blue and white anchor shirt, and some white flats with blue stripes. She picked out some white rose earrings, and a black charm bracelet.
After that, we brushed our teeth, said bye to Maggie, and we were on our way.
We took the subway to school, but it was different from all the other subways.
Before we left, Maggie told us that since we go to a private school, the school has it's own train. Only kids from the school can go on there. There were even tiny little toddlers.
Their older siblings, or older neighbors took them since the parents weren't allowed on the subway train.
I think I saw Jayden in a corner with a girl, but I wasn't sure.
Then there was a group of cute boys. Definitely the jocks.
When the train ride was finally over, I took Leigh to the elementary school side.
"When school is over, Leigh, we can go get some ice cream at the new Icy Palace, ok?" I asked her.
"Oh my gosh, YAY I really want to," Leigh told me.
We said our goodbyes, and I ran over to the high school.
When I got there, there was a nice woman at the front door that took me to the office. Since I was coming in the middle if the school year, I got a new locker and I was sent to my homeroom.
I had to sit next to a girl. I think her name was Amanda, and she had big black glasses and a bun.
I think she might be a nerd, I thought.
When the bell rang to begin classes, I went to my locker. Some weird dude walked up to me and pushed me up against the locker, and he started smelling my hair. He then started feeling my butt, and he squeezed it, moving his hands towards my chest.
I screamed for help, and I wasn't the only one in the hallway either.
The jock guy, he looked like the leader ran up to me.
He punched the guy that was touching me, and I was so glad.
"Thank you so much," I told him.
"Oh yeah no problem, he touches just about every girl in the school," he sadly replied.
"Hey umm I was wondering, will you have ice cream with me after school?" he asked me.
"Sure I would love to, but is it ok if my sister comes too?" I said, remembering my promise to Leigh.
"Yeah sure, I would love to meet another wonderful young lady like you," he said, definitely flatteringly.
"Hey, I didn't catch your name," said super-cute jock dude.
"Oh yeah my name is Alice," I told him.
"Ok Alice, well I'm Brandon. Well see you in next class maybe?" he sweetly asked me.
"Yeah sure. Well bye," I said.
"Bye," he said.
I started walking to class, and Jayden walked up to me.
"What do you want?" I asked him.
"Well I just wanted to tell you that he's a player too. And his friend said he called dibs on you, but I guess Brandon doesn't believe in those. Just wanted to tell ya," he told me.
"Yeah right," I said.
And then the bell rang, and I walked to the next class.
And I saw something utterly horrible
