The Popular Girls

CHAPTER 4

It was about 9 in the morning when I reached my school.Me and Adam got off his car and we walked towards the meeting hall. As it was only 4 days till the prom, our school gave us all these days to prepare. 

I entered the meeting hall and found everyone there already. I smiled at them and then started the meeting after few minutes.After two long hours of discussion we finally got to work.

Everything was almost done. Only some stuff was left that we are supposed to do one day before the prom.

Our principal came to me and praised me for my efforts.After he left Angelia and the two other cats came to me "I saw your Instagram post, so you bought your dress?" she asked, when I did not say anything in response she continued "look everyone knows that I am gonna be the prom queen, so don't have your expectation up high, we are friends and I don't want  you to be sad".

I stood there shocked. I wanted to say so many things at that time but I kept it quite and just nodded. 

After some inspection it was time for our evening fest. We were supposed to dance with our partner and play few games. 

I was supposed to be with Adam but something urgent came so he had to go. Every other couple including Angelia and Alvin went to take part.

And as expected the "Heart of The Evening" were Angelia and Alvin. It is a thing like Prom king and queen. 

After that it was time for the titled to say something. I stood there looking at Angelia and Alvin, both looking at each other and smiling. 

Just then Adam came back, I looked back at him and smiled and I had no idea why but Angelia looked at us and frowned. 

Before passing the mic to Angelia the host, who was one of our seniors asked who we think the prom king and queen will be and something unexpected happened. Many shouted out my and Adam's name. 

It was totally unexpected, I looked at Adam and we both smiled sheepishly at each other but it was not the same on the stage. 

Angelia stood there with a horrified expression.And then she looked at me and smirked. And at that exact moment I knew she was up to some scheme. 

Before I could do anything the mic was passed to her. She looked at me once again and then started talking. "Hey fellas hope you all are as excited as me for the prom, but we should thank Ivy for planning it all" she said.

A lot of weird things were happening with me, like Angelia praising me. But it was not for long she came back to her true self and what happened next was horrible, it broke me to pieces. 

A picture flashed on the white screen behind. It was a picture of me, a lot younger wearing a weird outfit. Everyone looked at it and laughed, next was me crying my eyes out because I was feeling low. 

I looked at Angelia with a horrified expression, how could she do that? I thought.

After the pictures were over she continued "Now well we can see a new side of the legendary Ivy can't we,this is how she is she cries her eyes out and wear weird clothes, isn't she cute"she said, few chuckled but most were just looking at Angelia with a weird expression.

The next image was of my report cards. "Look at her grades they have dropped, her A grade in Math is now B. Of course I am not asking you to judge her but just want you to know what kind of girl you are giving vote to" she finished.

Tears welled up in my eyes but I tried my best not to cry, not to let her win. Then she got down the stage and gave me the mic. Everyone turned towards me. I took a deep breath and controlled my tears.
