Craving Popularity

Taste of Popularity

I let out a heavy sigh and step out of the car while watching my new school. "Bye mom! See you tonight." I smiled towards my mother who is now gonna be heading to the hospital.

"Take care honey! Enjoy your first day in highschool." She smiled as I close the car door.

"I will." I said wearing a meaningful expression in my face.

"Stay out of trouble. I know you will." Mom said as she drove away. I just let out a meaningful smile when mom said that.

I entered my new school Westbridge High wearing a seductive smile that I've been practicing for almost a month at the front of the mirror.

"Looks like we have a new target for this year, boys." I heard one guy said, and I'm pretty sure she is referring to me. I smirked with what he said. It feels good to have the spotlight glow on you.

Let me tell you a story. Once there was a girl named Cray and she is always bullied for she is ugly and she is a nerd. She doesn't belong. Once she was put inside the trash can and she always eat inside the cubicle of the school's stinky comfort room. And that girl is dead and after many make-overs she rose again and became a pretty girl. And that girl is Paige Maxxon which is by the way, me.

I held my head up high while walking to get everyone's attention, and I sure do like it.

This is the life that I have been dreaming about. Six years of being infamous is finally over. My past life was like a living hell that I want to  bury deep under the ground. And now, that it's done I am free to change myself and even my name and my whole personality into whoever I want to be. People will see me as a completely different person. I bet my past classmates won't notice that it's their old nerdy classmate.

"Cray! Cray! Wait for me." My two eyes grew into two big saucers when I heard my old name being shouted by some random person.

Gosh! Whoever you are, please disappear because you are ruining my whole life. I did not spend my own money,time and effort to become pretty just to be ruined by you.

"Cray!" Shut up! Please! Just Shut Up! I despise that name. It sounds like crazy and it's not pleasant to the ears. Like, who wants a nickname Cray anyway?

Everyone is staring towards my side, but I pretended like it's not me. I tried walking faster but with poise, off course. The key to being attractive is an angelic face plus poise and grace.  They're looking at me like I am a murderer who just killed the whole nation. This is embarrassing!

"Cray! Cray! It's me Camilla your best friend." My foot voluntarily stopped as she mentioned her name.

Oh God! How I miss her. I turned around to see her and saw her haggard face smiling at me. My heart suddenly skipped a beat the moment I saw her smile. She catches her breath, and returned her attention to me.

I was shock that she still recognizes my back even if I had curled my hair and made it longer during the vacation. Even my fashion sense change, I am now wearing dresses that any girl could die for just to have it. I am not the old the same Paige or Cray or whatever name you'll call me (but, I prefer Paige now.) that is wearing snickers,thick-lens eyeglasses and I am not the same old Cray who is ugly.

How come she still notices me? O.M.G! Don't say that my appearance is still the same from my old self. I spent almost all my earnings on my summer job in the beach as a waitress in the bar for my make over. Don't tell me that I've spent all of those dimes for nothing.

"I thought you won...." She looked so shocked seeing my face. "Oh, I'm sorry. I thought you were my friend Cray. I am really really sorry." She looks like she's about to cry.
