Mean Girls: Andi Mack AU

Girl Gang

By eighth period, I️ was so happy to get to math class. I️ mean, I'm good at math. I️ understand math. Nothing in math class could mess me up.

However, it seems that I️ had spoken way too soon. The boy in front of me turned back to face me.

"Hey, do you have a pencil I️ can borrow?" he asked.

This was the kind of crush that hit me like a big yellow school bus.

That was when Ms. Norbury asked me the answer to the question on the board. Instead of giving my answer, I️ stupidly said, "dimples" and all eyes were on me. I️ panicked.

"Andi, what did you say?" She asked.

I️ cleared my throat.

"A-sub-N equals N plus one over four," I️ quickly corrected.

She nodded.

"That's correct," she said.

I️ sighed before quickly slipping the boy in front of me an extra pencil, to which he nodded and said "thanks" quietly.

The next day, I️ was to have lunch with the Plastics yet again, and it was a surreal experience. Having lunch with the Plastics was like leaving the actual world and enter Girl World, and Girl World had a lot of rules.

"You can't wear a tank top two days in a row, and you can only wear your hair in a ponytail once a week. Oh, and we only wear jeans or track pants on Fridays. Now, if you break any of these rules, you can't sit with us at lunch. I️ mean, not just you. Like, any of us. Okay, like if I️ was wearing jeans today, I️ would be sitting over there with the jocks. Oh, and we always vote before we ask someone to eat lunch with because you have to be considerate of the rest of the group. 

Well, I️ mean, you wouldn't buy a skirt without asking your friends first if it looks good on you," Kira explained.

I️ felt like my head was spinning. None of this made any sense. Should I️ have been taking notes?

"I️ wouldn't?" I️ asked.

She nodded.

"Right. Oh, and it's the same with guys. Like, you may think you like someone, but you could be wrong," she said with an edge of bitterness. I️ could tell there was a story behind that one, but I️ decided that it was best not to pry. After all, I️ was still just the new girl trying to keep my head above water.

I️ nodded, but she still might as well have been speaking Ancient Greek.

"So, have you seen any guys you think are cute yet?" she asked.

I️ could feel myself beginning to blush.

"Well, there's this guy in my calc class..." I️ began.

Iris gasped.

"Who is it?" she asked.

"He's a senior?" Kira asked.

"His name is Jonah Beck..." I️ began, cut off my looks of horror on the two girls faces.

Each gasped simultaneously, and I️ had no idea what I'd done to offend them.

"No! Oh, no, you can't like Jonah Beck. That's Amber's ex-boyfriend," Kira told me.

Crap. Of course the cute boy in my calc class had a history with the flawless Queen Bee herself of all people. Just my luck.

"They went out for like a year," Iris added.

Kira nodded.

"And she was totally devastated when he broke up with her last summer," Kira said.
