Abi, have you seen Mr.Grimwood's nose hair I'm actually ROFL!

I was in Maths and Jess had texted me again. Giggling behind my Geometry textbook, I tried to spot Mr.Grimwood. Yuk! His nose hair was terrible! Does he never notice when he looks in the mirror?

I texted back:

I've seen the horror and I'm scarred for life! Thanks a lot Jess :|

Me and Jess all looked at each other and laughed.

Finally Maths class was over and me and the girls walked over to the cafeteria.

"So what is for lunch then?" Jess asked, touching up on her lipgloss.

"Pizza and fries, with chocolate brownies for pudding. I love Pizza and Brownies, it's a great combo!" I replied, excitedly.

"Great." Jess smiled.

We got our lunch and walked over to our VIP area in the cafeteria.

"So, Ruby Blossom Queen is coming up, what's the plan?" I asked, messing around with my Tiffany bracelet.

"Lots of campaigning and getting all the different social groups to vote for me. That's the only thing I need to worry about because I'm definitely pretty enough to win anyway." Ruby replied, eating her fries.

"Great stuff!" I said, happily. Then we kept on chatting for ages about clothes, shoes and parties that were coming up. Then the bell went.

"Alright guys here's some chewing gum to take the smell of pizza away. I'll see you later." Ruby said grabbing her leather jacket and Fiorelli bag.

"Meet you at the gates after school." I added, grabbing my River Island satchel and my Hollister coat.

I walked away from them to my food studies class. I really wanted Ruby to win Blossom Queen however I was also voting for someone else. But who was I going to choose. I didn't know anymore, I was hiding too much from Ruby and Jess and I needed to tell someone. But I couldn't because it would ruin our friendship. I needed to figure out who I wanted to be. Who was that..?
