The Game

Chapter 6 - Tori's arrival

Serena

The week has passed by, and I am sitting in the class. We have Mr. West, the English teacher. I haven’t slept the whole night, because of an assignment due till today. I forgot all about it, and remembered it 10 p.m. last night. We had 4 hours to write it, but I spend 30 minutes. I drop the essay on his desk and he looks surprised. He thought I wouldn’t write it.

The essay is so bad, he will get one hell of a surprise. I think it’s going to be the worst essay he will ever read in his entire life. He continues with the class and talk about the new assignment, and how this one is so interesting and he bet we like it.

Yeah, I bet too, buddy.

After hours of listening to him, the class is finally over, thank god. I’m the first out the door as usual. I see Jennifer and Bridget in the hall, and go over to them.

“Girls, I really can’t take this anymore, I think I’m going to kill myself. Mr. West is such an ass. I hope we get a better English teacher.”

Everybody hates Mr. West. He is literally the worst teacher in the school. We talk about the teachers and the school, when someone pokes my shoulder.

I turn around.

“Hi Serena!” Tori says with a big smile on her face.

“Hi Tori” I say dismissively. Her smile vanishes.

“I saw you and thought I wanted to say hi” she says almost apologetic.

“Well, you said hi, so…” I say. I don’t know where all this hatred all of a sudden came from. I felt like being a really bitch towards her. I liked her when her mother and herself were at our house, but now… not so much.

“Sorry for interrupting you.” She says cold and turns around and leaves.

“Don’t you think you were a bit too harsh on her?” Jennifer asks confused the second Tori leaves. I don’t know what to say, all the anger and dislike towards her came like a lightning from a clear sky.

Tori   

What the hell was that? I have no idea what just happened. She was so nice to me at her house. What a bitch. That behavior came like a lightning from a clear sky. She was probably faking the whole “oh I’m Serena, I’m such a nice girl” back at her house because of her dad.

I don’t like this whole moving in with Brad and Serena thing, but I thought I’ll give it a chance because of my mom. And now I have to live with this girl? Omg. She’s not the only one who can play this game, if she wants to treat me like that, then I don’t see why I shouldn’t treat her the same way.

God, she makes me angry.

This school is so confusing, I can’t find my way over to the class I am supposed to attend to in 3 minutes. I really don’t want to be late, and especially not on my first day. I see a guy, and go over to him for direction.

“Excuse me.” I say and poke him on the shoulder. It is a tall guy with brown hair, not too bad looking, actually really not bad looking.

“Hi, I’m new at this school, and I was wondering if you could help me find room E6? I’m totally lost in here.” I say. The guy smiles and closes his locker.

“Yeah, of course. I’m going there too, you can go with me.” He says. Thank god, I would never find it even if he told me the direction.

“I’m K.C. by the way” he says and shakes my hand.

“Nice to meet you K.C., I’m Tori” I say. He seems to be really nice.

“Tori? “ he says, as if he is thinking hard on something.
