Chapter 10

I'm walking across the basketball field heading into school feeling really hurt and jealous. But Greg's just my Friend so I don't have the right to be jealous or hurt.

I enter the school and head straight into the ladies. I look at my reflection in the mirror. I'm looking at my plane white face and my brown un styled hair then I look at my outfit. I'm wearing a black jean and a blue sweater. Am I ugly maybe that's why no guy ever talks to me.

My own childhood bestfriend and boyfriend who would potentially be my future husband told me I'm not beautiful.

So why would Greg notice me, he just probably just shares a room with me because he feels pity for me.

I'm brought back to reality "hey are you okay?" I quickly turn and see the red haired girl I met the first day I came at the school, her name is Hannah. She looks at me confused, she asks "you have tears in your eyes. Are you okay?"

I quickly wipe my tears and reply "I'm fine. Everything is okay." while looking at her.

She places her hand on my shoulder and ask "I'm Hannah and what's your name?"
I smile and reply "I know who you are remember you introduced yourself on the volleyball field." she smiles back and says "tell me your name."
I reply immediately "I'm Vanessa."

She's a really nice person compared to the rest of her squad friends. But again I don't wanna be friends with anyone at this school. I'm regretting letting Greg come into my life like that. Because it's Greg's fault that I found out about my dad and Ben's conspiracy.

She heads Into the toilet while saying "I came here for other reasons." after she enters the toilet I look into the mirror and look at myself feeling really bad. She comes out minutes later and washes her hands then heads towards the door while saying "if you need anyone to talk too I'm here Vanessa." she walks out of the room leaving me all alone.

Maybe she wants to be my friend and I should give it a try after all theirs no harm in trying. I grab my bag and head out of the ladies. I head into math class.

****
I'm sitting on the bench in the cafeteria having my lunch. I saw Greg in math class with his girlfriend and he didn't bother talking to me. Anyway I made a strict rule for us not to talk at school.

Barbie and her squad come into the cafeteria making everyone shut there mouths. They all stare at them as they sit down on the bench. I roll my eyes irritatingly. Why do they have to make a show when walking by and people become entertained. People at this school are foolish. I continue eating my lunch not caring about Barbie and her squad.

Now Greg and his basketball ball buddies walk in the cafeteria making everyone to stop what they were doing and stare at them, I act like I'm not seeing them.

Greg's mates sit on the same bench as barbies cheerleader squad. Wow perfect the cool kids all stacked together.

I see Greg walk towards me, hope his not coming over here. Suddenly, Greg sits on the same bench as me but he sits opposite me. Everyone stares at us. His looking at me and I'm trying to avoid looking at him.

He smiles and says "hey Vanessa, today you didn't bother talking to me." I stare at his face angrily then stare at Barbie and I swear she looks furious.

I frankly say "your girlfriend is gonna kill me. Leave." I say the word leave pleadingly.

He grabs the apple on my plate and bites throw it while saying "she's not my girlfriend and plus I scored the home run. Aren't you congratulating me."

I stare at him rolling my eyes while saying "well I tried to congratulate you but you were busy with your girlfriend in the changing room." he looks shocked. He says "ooh nothing happened by the way."

I say sarcastically "I dont care. By the way." saying the words by the way slowly and clearly. He says "Vanessa we're friends right. So we should be talking at school."

I say while looking at Barbie whose still looking at me and Greg angrily "you are not supposed to talk to me greg. Your not following the rules that I set for you yesterday." he smiles and says "your so controlling but I love it."

I swear I tried so hard not to smile but I just did. I smile back at Greg even though I'm angry at him. He says proudly "I knew I would make you smile. I'm a pro I'm able to make the toughest rock smile wow."

I say still smiling "shut up. Get out of here."

He says while standing up "I'm going see you at home." I don't reply and just let him walk away. Greg walks out of the cafeteria with my apple, what a fool.

I continue eating all alone and suddenly everyone stops looking at me. I whisper to myself "thank goodness."

Suddenly, Barbie sits on the same bench as me but opposite me. She's looking at my face angrily and furious. I stare at her so confused. She bites her lower lip then says "hello." her voice never changes its still sharp and awful.

I smile but my smiles fake, she rolls her eyes realizing my smiles fake. I say "so to how do I owe this visit." she immediately says "well I came to let you know that Gregs my boyfriend."

I stare at her almost getting up on my feet and beating her up until she begs for mercy. I say blinking my eyes "so what the hell should I do."

"Vanessa stay away from him."

How the hell does she know my name. I've never spoken to her or tell her my name.

She says "Greg and I have known each other for a long period of years. His family is like my family and my family is like his family. We are gonna get married eventually and he'll break your heart."

I stare at her confused and shocked at the same time. I say "okay good for you but me and Greg have nothing going on. So there's nothing you should be worried about."

She says releasing a deep breath "hope so because Greg keeps on talking about you and I hate it."

Wow Greg talks about me, he better stop or Barbie will end up killing me. She says "Greg always gets the girls attention but no girl can have him because I'm his only one."

She stares at me with rage and just roll my eyes. She continues speaking "stay away from Greg. You don't want beef with a cheerleader. Do you?" I node my head agreeing to everything she just said.

I don't have time to argue with a girl whose got no brains. I say getting up "I'll stay the far away from your boyfriend if you promise to leave me alone." she nodes her head.

I walk away from there not regretting what I said. But again I hope Greg will agree to leave me alone.

I'm gonna leave Greg alone because Barbie is do obsessed with him and she might end up killing me over him....
