Chapter 2 -

So now that I've lost the one friend I had, I may aswell take up the opportunity the school provides and actually learn something that is going to help me in the real world. The main reason I don't want to be home school is because my parents would teach me how to be a proper lady and not how to solve maths equations without a calculator.

Quick recap on this week so far:
1 I'm know as the bitch who's stealing everyone's opportunities to mean the twins
2 I'm also known as just a pretty face
And 3 I've lost my best and only friend
AND ITS ONLY MONDAY! - rant over

I'm so glad people don't talk to me just because of my "fan base" a lot of the time I just want to sit there. Not say anything to anyone but do anything. But there's always that one person who comes up to me and asks about modeling. This time it was Charlotte, she was nice - ish, tall, slender, very pretty, but I wouldn't classify her as a model, you see models have to have everything adjusted so the designer is happy, Charlotte just doesn't like to be touched.

"Hey Natalie!" She jumps up and down enthusiastically
"Oh, hey Charlotte, what's up?" I pretend like I'm in the mood to talk to someone, I decide just to make small talk, how hard could that be?
"Nothing much, but um I saw that you didn't have a partner for the maths assignment and I was wondering if you wanted to go together?" She asks less enthusiastically, I wasn't expecting that at all if I'm being honest, I sigh a sigh of relief.
"Just between us" she leans in and whispers, "I'm not that very good at maths and you're the smartest in the grade. I was hoping to learn a few things from you" I'm stunned, never has someone called me smart let alone the smartest in the grade. I smile at her, "of course we an work together, Charlotte!" I respond. "Ok. Thanks Hayley, I'll text you later." I smirk, that's great, and charlottes really sweet two.

I spend the rest of the day alone, but once I walk through the front door of my house, I'm overcome with a sweep of depression, the house is empty and cold, mum and dad must be out, again, which leaves me alone to cook dinner again. I've gotten pretty good at cooking, I mean, mum and dad have been home late for the last week, and I've managed to keep myself alive, that's a success to me.

Tuesday's are sluggish as well, you would think that because I was in the dolan family, I live for Tuesday's, but no, in Australia, we have to wait until Wednesday so we can see new videos. Unfair, I know. But Tuesday's are usually pretty good, but today was different from other days and I couldn't comprehend how, maybe because I didn't have to talk to anyone, or maybe because today I caught Luka Ednie (one of the "popular" kids in my grade) looking my way on numerous occasions.

Either way, I didn't have much care for him or socialising at all in that manner. He was loud, rude and arrogant. Kinda smart, sorta not really, but boy, I will say, this boy had eyes the colour of the ocean, you could almost dive into them if you look at them for too long.

Yes, Wednesday, the day I live for, yea the middle of the week I know but, Dolan day. I turn on my laptop at 5:00am, just before they upload, and see the video sitting there waiting for me, entitled, "We're coming for you Australia!" Oh Lordy, I think, all the girls will be screaming about this later. "We've been looking all over the world for one girl," Grayson leads, "and we've finally found her, on the coast of Australia." Ethan continues. I roll my eyes and continue, "we want her to model our new merchandise!" Ethan explains. My heart sinks, there's a chance it actually could be me, I suppose, couldn't there? But than again, I'm probably thinking what every girl on the Coast is thinking. So I just shrug it off.

Knowing my luck, it's going to be Ashley, she's always hated that fact that I'm a legitimate model, "that's supposed to be me up there" she would say, I even heard the occasional, "I hope you fall out of your heals!" I find it quite comedic actually.

I walk into school and just as I suspected every girl is loosing their marbles, 'great' I think, 'thanks for making my school even worse than it already is Ethan and Grayson!'
