Miss popular

Chapter 1

As I heard the school bell ring as I was still about 50 feet away from school, I knew I was toast. This was the third time I had been late for school, and this would be the third detention I'd gotten overall. My parents are gonna kill me.

When I finally get to class, Mrs. Grosen turns from the blackboard at the sound of the door creaking open. When she sees it's me, she sighs and pulls out a fresh detention slip and scribbles down my name.

"Third one this September," she says as she hands it to me, "not a good start to the year miss Flakscoff."

I take the slip from her cautiously, my palms sweating. I take one look at my name at the top of the sheet and take a big gulp. My parents are going to KILL me.

Why is high school so complicated?

I take my seat in the back of the classroom and put my books on my desk, along with my head.

"Alright class, today we will be discussing the project starting our unit this month," Mrs. Grosen smiled as she explained,"a food web! You are all each going to...."

I stopped listening after that. I've heard that Mrs. Grosen assigns really easy projects for science, so I'm not worried.

Suddenly, a note tumbles on to my desk from my best friend Arie. I open it up and read what has been written.

'Are you Ok?'

'No' I answer, then slip the note to my left.

'Your parents are gonna kill you' she points out to me.

'Trust me, I'm well aware.'

'Why were you late anyway?'

'Just late'

'Oh. Well, we better start listening. I do NOT want to fail this class!=>'

'Ok. meet me by my locker after class'

'Kk'

With that, I take a shot at the trash can with the now scrunched up slip of paper, and try to stay awake for the rest of science.

After class, I ran up to my locker, where Arie was already standing.And trust me, she didn't look very happy.

"Where have you been?" she asks, exasperated.

" Sorry!I had to go to the bathroom." I respond.

"Fine," she groaned as I grabbed my books from my locker for science.

"Uh, look over there," Arie pointed in Savannah's direction,"she thinks she's so great," Arie made a face and crossed her arms.

Savannah Gavry is the most popular girl in the school. She gets all the boys, and acts like she rules the school. Savannah especially hates Arie because she's on the cheerleading team. I watched her as she exited the girls restroom with her crew behind her. What a bratt.

"So, it's the little baby again. And look! She has a friend too," Savannah smirked.

"Just shut up Savannah," I stated angrily.

"Shut up Savannah," she mocked, grinning as her stupid friends laughed,"see you two losers in biology class. Don't worry, I won't get ALL the frog guts on you," with that, she turned on her heel and walked to class, laughing the whole way.

What did we ever do to her?
