Before Mackenzie Became Popular

Chapter 13: Stitches

"W-what did you say?" Mackenzie explained, her face puffing up.
"I said we're gonna be perfect together. I mean, I suck at this and you're good. You can help me," he smiled, while his hands are behind his head - supporting it.

Mackenzie did a little sigh of relief. She got just a bit worried there.
"So, let's go to the lab then," and after that, he grabbed her by the wrist while Mackenzie blushed. "Why are you holding my wrist? I'm not your girlfriend," she teased.
Mackenzie could see that Brody's face turned red. He let go of her.
"Um, yeah... Forget about that. Its a stupid mistake. Just, come on okay?" he said firmly.

Finally, they reached the lab. Mackenzie and Brody went to their stations and did their work... Well, Mackenzie did. "Brody! Can you give me a scythe? I need it. It's right behind you."
"Hm? Oh. But, I'm busy right now texting my buddies. We're hanging out somewhere." Brody said while hanging around. Mackenzie growled. "Fine. I'll get it myself," she grabbed it from the counter behind her and began slicing the poor innocent frog. While she did so, she notices Brody staring at her and smirking.

Class was finally over and Brody just left without saying her goodbye. Not like it matters or anything right? Suddenly, Nickole bumped into her on purpose and began laughing.
"Oh. Look who's here! The failure of the school... Ashamed yet?" and her puppets behind her copied her every move. "Just you wait! I had enough of your sick little games! Tomorrow, you'll see how it ends. Got that?" Mackenzie clenched her teeth while talking.

"Oooo, I'm so scared!" The mean girl mocked her with sarcasm. She then, walked away farther down the hallway with the girls trailing behind her. Mackenzie didn't care and just went on going home. Her plan is gonna be difficult but it's a try.

The next day, she woke up bright and early to prepare herself to step down the so-called leader of the PCC. She brushed her hair, added layers of Revenge Red lipstick, adding Larouje perfume, and wearing a cute outfit. Her shoes are now replaced by high heels, and she has no longer tomboy clothes. It's only popular girl clothes.

"Now that's the new me! Watch out WH, I'm coming," she said to herself while looking at the mirror. Mackenzie had set herself a goal. Take back the hierarchy away from Nichole. Since she knows Brody likes her, she will try to get at him, for the popularity and as a bonus.

She walked out of her room but suddenly, her sister stopped her in Mackenzie's tracks.

"Hey! Get out of my way, you hear?" Mackenzie yelled with such attitude, that Ally was taken aback by it. "Sister... What's wrong with you? Why are you dressed like this? It's not you... Who are you and what have you done to her?!" She pointed at Mackenzie.

Mackenzie rolled her eyes and pushed her sister lightly out of the way. "Don't make me hurt you. I got things to take care of," she smirked and left.

In school...
Mackenzie walked down the school hallways like it was a runway. Her clothes shined down on her and all the cute accessories looked amazing. Mackenzie walked towards her locker, hearing other students gossiping and making rumours about her. "Is Mackenzie gone?" Or "who is that girl?"

Suddenly, someone tapped on her shoulder. Mackenzie spun around, facing the popular chicks. When her target saw her, she did a little gasp then, she did a low growl since Mac is doing all the attention.

"Mackenzie... How delightful for you to still come back after all what I just did. Impressive, honey." Suddenly, Nickole grabbed Mackenzie's shirt so that she has no choice but to look at her. "I won't let you take my spot," she hissed. "Don't even think about it, ya hear?" She lets go afterwards and walks off with her little army.
