"Giselle, wait for me" Alison yelled as I slammed my locker shut. We had the same schedule for the day. "I like your top" she continued. "Show some cleavage more often, I know Coby loves it!"I was blushing. Coby was the jock who had all the girls tied around his pinky finger. Clearly, I was one of them. We were 5 mins late for Chem class but who was really keeping track?The teacher ignored us and gave the two nerds behind a detention. Perks of being popular in Mr. Gibbs' class. He was flirty with us and vice versa. One of the nerds was my ex-bestfriend, Lindsey. It was so hard for them than it was for us. New identity equals new personality and I wasn't about change that. She side eyed me across the classroom and I knew she was hurt but I wasn't like her anymore. I was apart of a new clique. Class was about to end and we were all getting ready to leave. I was about to exit when Lindsey grabbed my arm and dragged me back into the room. "You've completely changed, I see" she said softly. "I have to go, I'm a new person now Lindsey" I replied. "Okay, leave!" she shouted. I was about to leave when she slapped me across the face. Remember me saying I wasn't a fighter? I was immobile for a few seconds. Alison saw what happened and a fight broke out. Lindsey was beaten up badly and I knew that she would never say a word to me after today. She stormed out of the room and Alison started to pamper my face with her overpriced makeup. New identity equals new personality and I was back to being the new me. It was us vs them. It was the battle of the cliques.
