What if Cristine adopted me? [Simply Nailogical Fan Fic]

The Bullies

After finishing up my taco, I went to my room and started doing my homework. After finishing my homework, I took my phone from Cristine's room and got onto Instagram. When I opened the app, tons of notifications poured in. It seemed like many people are reposting and mentioning my username on a particular photo. When i tapped on one of the notifcations to view the photo, I was horrified.
I stared at the picture long and hard. It was a heavily photoshopped photo of me. Theres were many memes on that one picture with a big red banner on the top of the photo which yelled "LOSER". Suddenly, I received a message from Valeria. She told me that the culprit of all the drama is Joelle , one of the prettiest and popular girls in our school. Joelle is in the same grade as me but in a different class though, however one of her friends, Fanly, is in my class. Valeria told me to be careful whenever Im in school because whatever Joelle has up her sleeves is not going to be good. Valeria also offered to look out for me more often in school.
When i hopped onto Twitter, my notifications are full of people retweeting a tweet from Joelle's account. The tweet was a really long rant about "people who are brainless and are associated with famous people and only come to school to gain attention". First of all, Im not brainless and second of all I did not expect so many holosexuals in school to recognise me.
When i looked at the clock, it was already 11pm. I charged my phone and packed my bag for school tomorrow. After that, i went to sleep.

•THE NEXT MORNING•

When i opened my eyes, I realised that it was already 7:00. I was supposed to be up at 6:00 and school starts in 30 minutes! I frantically changed into my outfit and grabbed the sandwich with Cristine had prepared in the morning , carried my bag and ran to school. On the way to school, i met Claudia, who was walking really slowly, that was when i realised i did not have to rush. When Claudia saw me, she quickly whispered about Joelle and her photo. She assured me that she, Valeria and Airica will pay extra attention to Joelle and her friends just to make sure she does not harm me in any way. When we reached our school, there was still 15 minutes before we have to assemble (woah that was fast of Jasmine). Claudia, who was on duty today, headed towards the General Office to collect some worksheets (Claudia's duty is to collect worksheets for the class every alternate day). I headed towards the lockers to collect my textbooks for todays lessons. When i was making my way to the locker, i ran into Joelle and Fanly. They glared at me unhappily when i walked past them. "Hey, attention seeker, what's up with you coming to school? Why don't you just stay at home and study?" Joelle yelled at me. I turned around and saw many of the students were staring at me. "Its none of your business," I said. I was really nervous. I did not like to talk back to people. When i was at the orphanage, I once talked back to my friend, Phoebe (dont remember her? Turn back to chapter 3, Is This For Real?! ). After that, she completely ignored me and joined some other girls at the orphange, leaving me alone most of the time.
Joelle huffed and said, " Yeah, trying to talk back to me huh, brainless girl". Fanly giggled and nodded her head "Like in class, you confidently gave the wrong answer yah?" Fanly said loudly and they bothed laughed. The problem is, I never did gave the wrong answer. I was merely asking a question about the water cycle.
I rolled my eyes and turned my back towards them and opened my locker. After I took my textbooks from the locker and turned around, I was faced my Joelle and Fanly. "You do think you are really that famous, right?" Joelle sneered and snatched my Math textbook. "HEY,NO!" I yelled with all my might. Joelle just rolled her eyes and flipped through my textbook. When I glanced at Fanly, she gave me a clueless look and mouthed "Im sorry" to me. I was shocked when she did that. After a few seconds of glancing through a few chapters of my textbook, Joelle tossed it back to me and said "gotta go revise for my Maths test!" and ran to her classroom. Fanly just stood there and stared at Joelle. She heaved a sigh of relief when she disappeared completely. "Jasmine.. Im sorry.. Joelle told me to yell false stuff about you just now.. Please dont take that to heart," Fanly stammered. "Joelle wants to be seen as the most popular girl in school," Fanly explained, "So when you came yesterday and almost the whole school knew about you, Joelle got jealous and decided the best way to make them hate you is to post untrue stuff about you online. Oh and she took your textbook because she forgot to revise for her test. " When i heard Fanly's explaination, i got really angry. It turned out that Fanly was forced to give information of what happened in class and Joelle decided to twist the story to make it look like I was a brainless girl. Fanly said that she always wanted to be friends with me. I accepted her apology and headed back to the classroom the assemble.

A/N: hiya! so just a lil heads up, in the following chapters, whatever Jasmine does is generally what teenagers do ig? i kinda regret not introducing Jasmine as a 13 year old, but probably in the more later chapters i will try to fast forward the time scene so everything makes sense. in other words, when reading the next few chapters, keep in mind that it is not what typical 10 year olds would do or even act like. also this chapter is a little cringey so uh yeah sorry ;-; i will edit this chapter to inform yall when im going to upload the next chapter :D

•21 Nov, done
•4 Dec, edited
•9 Dec, final editing, published.

EDIT 17/12: the story from the next chapter is going to be slightly sensitive and also irrelevant? idk i really didnt think of a storyline for this 😂
