What do you do when you show up at school wearing a customized sweatshirt of the most popular guy in school?
You walk it baby, you walk it.
This is the moment where everyone wishes to be me. The look on all of their faces when I passed them was golden but the best of all it was Whitney's expression when she saw me.
"Whoa, what planet have I been on?" Darcey said
"What do you mean?" I put my textbooks in my backpack.
"A few days ago, you were on ice with Andrew and now you're wearing his sweatshirt?"
"Well, If it makes you feel any better, I'm just as surprised as you are"
Andrew and the guys passed by us and he threw a paper at me. I opened it.
'Roses are red, Violets are blue.
I saw a heart shaped cookie and I thought of you' I read out
"Darcey, I don't quite get this"
She didn't say anything.
"Are you even listening to me?"
"Yeah" She was staring at something but what exactly is she staring at? I followed her gaze and it was planted on Antonio.
"Darcey, Why are you staring at Tonio?" I asked
"Huh? What prom?" She laughed nervously
"I didn't say anything about prom. Darcey, do you want to ask him to prom?"
"Ok, yes but I don't know how"
"Do you want some tips?"
"When have I ever not?"
"Huh? A simple yes would be just fine. I happen to know that he's a sucker for pies, cookies, brownies basically he likes a lady who bakes"
"I love baking"
"Woo him with your amazing brownies" She smiled at me and ran away in happiness.
Ok, I suck.
I've gotten Orion a date, I'm helping Darcey get one but I still don't have one. Why does my life suck? My phone beeped in my pocket and basically everyone else in the hallway.
It was an update from the school's gossip blog. My story was featured before but whatever story this is, it has to be rich for it to be featured.
'Here's the truth about everyone's beloved Madison Whitman. She used to be somebody and probably the queen b but not anymore, especially not with an account balance like that. The wealthy Whitman family has gone bankrupt and now holds no place in the high class families society. Such a shame, she thought she could take Whitney's place.
Oh my word, I had no idea that this was going on. There's only one person mischievous enough to do this.
I was on my way to look for Maddie when I heard two people arguing in the printing room. I recognized the voices to be Whitney and Maddie's.
"You said you wouldn't tell anyone" Maddie's voice was cracking.
"I know but everywhere's boring and my whole get Andrew back didn't work out and that Reece girl is still around" Whitney said
"You promised me. I had to betray my friend, my only true friend. You'll never understand what true friendship's like"
"You're so pathetic. You only spent a few days with those losers and you've changed" I heard footsteps and the door opened
"What are you doing here?" Whitney asked
"You're such a spoilt brat"
"Daddy says I'm a princess and as a princess, I get what I want" She flipped her hair
"Why are you doing all this? I get that you don't like me but I never thought that you'd do something like this to Maddie"
"Don't you get it, high school is over. If I'm going to graduate, I want to graduate with a legacy. I don't want to be remembered as a random girl in The Class of 2020 but The meanest girl in The Class of 2020" She walked away
I opened the door and saw Maddie sitting on the floor with her face in between her legs that was pulled up to her chest. I slid down beside her.
"Hey, need some company?"
"Why are you here? You should stay far away from me, I ruined your life" She sobbed
"And I'm an idiot who still wants to be your friend. Maddie, I like you a lot and my brother is an idiot if he doesn't like you. My brother and I are both idiots and we don't know how to act around people. I want you to be the one to show him that love is real"
"You're really the better Reece" She hugged me.
"No, I'm the best Reece"
