My Almost Best Friend

Chapter 10

Chapter 10:

"Class! In your seats! We need to play the announcements!" Mr. Messenger shouted as I walked into home room. I took my seat next to Summer and Brian, with Amarys behind me.

Good Morning Clarkson High.

The date is February 3 and the time check is 7:12.

I zoned out the majority of the announcements, but couldn't help listening when they brought up the Spring Queen.

Mrs. Salisbury's voice came on like a cheery cartoon character;

It's that time of year again! It's time for the Spring Queen elections! We know that you've all worked very hard on your campaigns this year, and we really appreciate that, however this year things are going to be done a little differently.

Summer sat up and raised her eyebrows, her eyes widening.

This year, we are going to have... a semi finals if you will. This year, there will be 5 Spring Princesses. The actual Queen will be selected on the night of the dance, and will be one of the four princesses. Now, these girls names have been chosen by the students and we've selected 5 names.

I could see Summer was starting to get nervous.

You're 2014 princesses will be...

Amarys Green

Amarys looked overjoyed, whereas Summer looked like a serial killer.

Summer Stevens

She smirked and sat back in her chair.

Francesca Willows

Claire Johnson

and Bree Wilson

I stopped frozen in my seat. Every girl's head snapped towards me. I hunched lower in my seat, as Summer stared at me, disgusted.

"Great job Bree!" Amarys said, smiling.

The remainder of the announcements were a buzz. Who in there right mind put my name in there?

=======================

Finally at the end of day, I passed Claire in the hallway. Immediately I grabbed her arm and pulled her to the side.

"What was that?!" I loudly whispered trying not to make a scene.

"What was what?" she said, irritated.

"You put my name in the drawing!"

"So did you!"

"Ha! So you admit it! But I didn't put yours in there!"

"It was probably Emma or Sarah." She made a gagging motion.

"Who?"

"The two annoying sophomore girls who think I'm like sups amazing."

I stared at her in disbelief. Annoying fan club? Where had I heard this before...

"Well anyway, you should have asked me first."

"To what? Become popular?"

"I don't want to be Spring Queen! And when did I ever care about becoming popular?"

"Come on Bree, it's totally obvious. I see the way you look at those cute, popular boys. You don't want to end up with Anthony!"

It annoyed me how repulsing the idea seemed to her.

"Anthony's a nice friend," I say quietly.

"Yeah, a nice friend who's in love with you!"

"Anthony is not in love with me!"

"Sure..." she said in a sarcastic tone, "Anyways, I gotta go. I'm going shopping with Amarys. Gosh, she gets really annoying, you know?" She walked away after that.

No I don't know. And you really don't know me.

======================
