Scarlet...

                                 CHAPTER 2                                                                            

  School Today was interesting. There I was as innocent in the cafeteria using my new I phone 4s, I got when my mum got divorced.

Then Tess and her friends appeared in front of me. “SHIT!!” They yelled before decorating my new outfit with nachos and tomato salsa. “Oh My God, Tess. We did something wrong… We forgot the ketchup” Nisi said “What about the mustard!!!”Added Fifi. They poured it on me .

The most unbelievable thing came next. I stood up to Tess for the first time. Holding back my tears, I stood up in furry and said “Stop it!!! Who the fuck do you think you are. You guys should take a good look at yourselves. Under my dorkiness i am a real person but without bulling people you are wothless and as meaningless as can be” She turned back and asked “Excuse me!!”. I shook my head and laughed. “You heard me right. Or have you gone deaf TESS!!”.

The whole cafeteria went quiet. This time Tess took a step closer to me. We stood there eyeball to eyeball. “I don’t like you SHIT!” she cut the silence. “And whoever gave you the idea that I liked you… See you are fake and you better back off Or else…” Everyone came closer. Tess rolled her eyes and replied “Or else What??”We got in a really nasty fight.

“Kid you have got serious nerves displaying that kind of act.” Principal Shade. “Well your daughter started a whole lot of it. What you are displaying right now is favouritism!!.” I made an impressive combat. “Scarlet are you Okay!” Principal Shade asked. “Yes I’m just fine. Come to realise i do not have to take shit from you lot. “I turned around and left the room. My head ached, what just happened was spine-chilling. I could get expelled. Or worse I would be sent to live with my father and his new family but for some reason i didn't care a bit.

Time for a change in authority. No more hiding in the shadows. No more hidden assets. No more good girl. Good bye good old me and hello modestly shapely Scarlet. Tess isn’t the only one that has an incredibly rich mother.

I always kept a secret stash of designer cloths and make up in school in case my crush came up to me or an immediate dress rehearsal came up in the auditorium. It’s not that I’m not allowed to wear them I just feel insecure. That is soon about to change. My stash was under my locker. No one would mind for the fact my mum was a major contributor to the schools fund. 

I grabbed my shortest designer skirt and paired it up with an electric blue off shouldered blouse with glitter all over it. It was almost lunch over so I hurried up and finished. I let down my bright curly red hair and wore my heels. I thought lipstick was too much and didn’t want to get my first ever detention in school.

I smiled at the outcome but felt weird. For the first time my hair was left down in the school premises. I walked out of the stall I got ready in and walked through the corridor right on time for the whole school to witness.

Everyone gasped and some guys were checking me out. I blocked my hearing to miss out on the comments but there was one that was loud enough for me “Seriously I knew Scarlet was endowed but I didn’t think it was this much.” The speaker was anonymous

To be honest I didn’t care about the comments of people I just wanted to get the attention of my crush, Russell, but it could give me pleasure if Tess, Nisi and Fifi saw me. This time walking down the hall seemed forever and I felt confident and proud. For once i didnt have my head buried in a book trying hard not to draw attention to myself.
