High School Madness

Chapter 4

Once we have finally all dordled outside the hall, we seem to split into groups... the popular ones stand over near the wall, the middle class funny people stand next to the sign giggling, the sporty ones are in the middle throwing a ball, then the rest of us stand in a circle silent awkwardly staring at each other.. The cliques are forming...

An old woman beaming in glasses, with excellent posturer walks toward our class, she spots our awkward circle and decides to break the ice. "Are you 7H?" she looks at the girl opposite me straight in the eye. The girl tilts her head up slightly, shyly "Yes, we were told to wait here Miss"She looks at her while she speaks then her head goes straight down.The girl has as black as night hair, pale blue eyes, and snow skin.

"Well, I am your teacher then so you should come with me please" She smiles smugly pleased to hear we are her class. She gestures us to follow her, we all walk in silence behind her, unsure what to expect...

The lesson runs pretty smoothly I sit next to Amy and another girl called Jade.The rest of the morning seems a blur, science and maths. Then the bell for lunch wakes me up, with a buzz. I gather all my things and run out the door.

My eyes pop out of there sockets as I see the playground. I feel shocked and disappointed as I look around.. "its just like the movies" the words bounce in my brain..

The groups have already formed and its first day.. and I hate it.. The nerds sit together under the shelter reading. The Middle Class Funny people sit on the metal seat laughing. I casually look around for the group I dislike most the Popular Group.

They sit on a bench, whispering & laughing I see Ella in the middle.
Unfortunately for me she sees me, she waves and beckons me over. I walk over awkwardly, the girls giggle. "Hey Rosie" she smiles, her white teeth gleaming "hi" I mutter giving brief eye contact. I put my bag Down and sit next to a girl with auburn hair and beautiful ocean blue eyes. Her body is thin and her legs are long.

She gives me a look of disgust as I sit down, she scoots over as though I have the plague. "Umm El I didn't know we were giving losers invites to sit with us" her eyes fix on me.. Ella opens her mouth to speak defending me, then Hayley elbows her in the ribs.

Ella's face suddenly turns to disgust "I didn't invite her to sit here " The words come out, defensive "So get out of here creep!" The betrayed feeling hurts my heart, I turn to Hayley and Emma for support, they were there, they heard her. They both just shrug and whisper something to Ella. I run away, hearing the snickers and nasty comments as I go.

The toilets seems the only safe place right now. I find a cubicle and slam it shut the tears stream down my face. I hear foot steps walking into the bathroom. They stop in front of my door...
