Princess’ Side <3

“Excuse me,” a blond girl says as she makes her way into the school bus.

She keeps on hitting people, including me. She bumps into my shoulder. I really don’t mind, though. I am too distracted to even bother.

As tough as it is to admit, I couldn't shake the sadness that I feel. I still couldn’t get over what I heard yesterday.

It shouldn't be a big surprise, really. From what I've heard, Vince and Michelle had a great history together. It's only a matter of time before he would change his mind about their break up.

I shouldn’t care. In the first place, I shouldn't even have been listening to their conversation. 

Yet, here I am... moping like a little heartbroken girl. Maybe because I am. I don't know.

I sit on the nearest seat and throw my bags beside me in frustration. 

Should I really let that confession of his to bother me?

Suddenly, one of my bus-mates screams.

“No! No! No!” she says while arguing with the jock beside her.

Surprisingly, she kind of answered my question.

I quickly think of another question, hoping another person would give a random comment.

Would I move on?

“Trust me! You can’t do that!” a guy being dumped said.

Wow, this is really weird.

I ask another question. Then should I fight for it?

“Fight! Fight! Fight!” the boys at the back chant.

Now, this is creepy.

The bus driver scolds them while I laugh to myself.

After arriving at school, I immediately see Kit waiting for me.

“Feeling better?” she asks.

“Yeah. Thanks for yesterday.” I say.

When I was wondering helplessly after the incident, Kit saw me. She was still around due to the cheerleading practice. She immediately noticed my wet eyes.

I treat Kit as my big sister whom I confide my secrets to. I spilled everything that I felt. And she was like a sponge who absorbed it. She was very experienced with these kinds of things so she was the right person to turn to.

“Are you sure that you don’t want me to beat him up?” she asks.

“Don’t do that. Besides, Vince doesn’t even know that I was there.” I reply.

“I didn’t know that you were even where?” Vince suddenly says. I literally jump in shock.

“Nothing,” Kit answers as she rolls her eyes.

She pulls me to class so that Vince could ask no more.

Our teacher came in right after us.

I cheer up after his announcement. We are pulled out for the day. Ms. Suzanne has returned to direct us.

I pull Jaime to the auditorium out of excitement.

When we got there, I run to the stage and then twirl around. I never thought I’d say this – I actually miss this place so much.
