Symptoms of Insanity

Chapter 2 You Know Who

The first day she arrived here, students gasped, some stopped dead in their tracks. Teachers were just as shocked as the students, no one could believe it. Every girl that attended at PearlShore North Senior School was beautiful and had their unique beauty, but this girl was a combination of all them. The luscious hair, her hourglass body, her stunning legs. No one's beauty could ever compare to her, so each day at school was like being on a red carpet, expect there was only one superstar. Strutting through the school like she owned it and behind her would be people constantly begging to be her friend. Just like every other popular girl, she knew she had the power to manipulate them without any harm and she did just that. Every time there was an issue involving her, guess who would take the blame? Everyone single one expect her and her closet friends. To Scarlet, they weren't friends, more like things, using them to make her more popular. Robin Phillips, the runner up, however her beauty was nothing compared to her personality. To describe her mean was only scratching the surface. She was like a devil from hell, giving orders, beating up kids that didn't obey her, she played a bodyguard-like role towards Scarlet. She was the one to never be messed with. The other "friend" of Scarlet was Michelle, she was always very suspicious, well maybe to Scarlet, but her beauty was almost entrancing. Too much that they were blinded by her actions. Scarlet had always found her peculiar, but it went away, as long she was known and famous, she would take it.

"There she comes,"
"Who?"
"You know who," and those were the only words needed to say that Scarlet was on her way.
"Each time I stare at her, she is more and more beautiful," the boy sighed.
Both of them stared longingly at her, but their handsomeness compared to other boys were nothing, making them unnoticed by Scarlet. As she walked past, she suddenly stared straight ahead, past the boys looking at her. She saw a girl that was beautiful, maybe even more than her, but if she was, she surely wouldn't be helping someone like that. She stared disgustedly at the other girl.
"Boys!" Scarlet snapping, awakening them from their thoughts.
"..yes?"
"See those girls over there," pointed Scarlet
"...yes"
"Tell me their names and you might a surprise," Scarlet spoke sweetly.
Hurriedly they went and came back.
"Well?" Said Scarlet unpatiently.
"The girl with orange hair is Rosie and the other one is Estelle,"
Scarlet thought, maybe she was doing so the kids around her would appreciate and like her genuinely? What ever she was doing, she was going to gain popularity, she needed her.

Finally the lunch bell went and she rushed out hoping to find the girl, Rosie. She saw her sitting by herself gazing into distance, as if almost zoning out.
"Hiya!" Scarlet suddenly said bursting Rosie out of her train of thought
"Hi," she said gazing at Scarlet
Weird, usually girls uglier than me are intimidated by me, thought Scarlet.
"What do you want?"
"I want you to join my trio, including myself,"
"Why?" She was surprised
"Well it's the most popular group and your the only I asked, so that means you're really pretty,"
"I'll think about it," replied Rosie.
This girl, how could she turn down such an offer, all the other girls would be screaming and yelling just to be the fourth one, yet she was so strangely peculiar. Something seemed off about her, but she let it slide.

She walked confused with the noise of whistling in the background. Maybe she could try another way to convince her, after all, that was her best trait.
