Can you make the cut?
"You made the cut", she says handing me a ring with a C in the middle.
I look at her then back at the ring. The Cut? Me? Really?!
"What is the cut exactly?" I ask.
She rolls her eyes and smirks.
"Clueless, as per usual" She places her hand over mine covering the ring, and leans in closer to my face.
Mmm she smelt like watermelon and-.
Snap out of it.
"The Cut is a set of rules girls must follow and complete challenges in order to stay on the social hierarchy. There are different groups in each grade, and the senior reigning champs decide, who made the Cut in each round" she steps back and smiles at me.
"And you Nellie made the Cut for the first rounds, congrats!"
Since grade six all Nellie could remember was her only friend leaving her for popularity. Ever since she has been trying to win back the friendship they once had, but when high school begins Nellie is faced with more problems than before. The Cut.

Fighting Feelings
"You can't say stuff like that" I mumble, and he chuckles. "And why cant I?". "Because we're friends" I say, reminding both him and myself. I dont miss how Cameron's smile drops a little from my reminder, but he plays it off and nudges my shoulder. "Indeed we are pretty girl. So I suggest you quit blushing around me. That's not what friends do". _____________________________________ Charlotte Hendrix. Everyone at school views her as sweet, innocent little Charlotte. And although she is sweet, she's not as innocent as everyone thinks. Cameron Cooper. The new boy. The kind, funny boy who hides his shitty life with a big smile on his face. The boy who tries help everyone but forgets himself. What a perfect match. _______________________________________ After having a small, awkward interaction with the new guy while rushing not to be late to Ms Parkers math class, having to eat lunch together with friends was not what Charlotte expected. But when left alone, with the help of three milkshakes, a friendship forms between the two. Well..its a bit more complicated than a simple friendship. Feelings are quickly formed, but its never that simple. Add some denial, a few milkshakes, alot of toxic friendship, and a bit of fighting feelings, and you end up with this hectic story.

Scared that she might go away, I said the first words that came into my mind. She stopped suddenly and turned back to look at me. A look of shock held her face before it turned to that of confusion. Why the hell is she confused? My eyes involuntarily moved to the shelf from where she has picked the item and I was beyond shocked. Holy Shit. Lying on the top shelf of the counter were stock of tampons-different brands along with few other girly items and I realized I just told a girl not to buy tampons. F**k..

The Opposition
"The answer is 'A,'" I say, keeping my voice light and kind. Carter snorts from beside me. "No, it's 'C.'" Bingo. I was hoping he'd say that. "The question clearly asks you to round to the nearest tenth. If I'm not mistaken, which I don't believe I am, answer 'C' has two decimal places." I smirk as his mouth twitches into a frown. We're still standing. "Very well, Miss. Jones," Mr. Neilson says, projecting another question. "I can't stand you," Carter mumbles in my ear. I turn my head towards him, pressing my lips against his ear. "Then sit the fuck down, Conners," I whisper. "I'm winning." ... Fairridge Prep is for the best of the best.

Will boys get in the way, or were they always meant for each other... ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Avery and I were walking the field, talking to each other, or should I say just her talking and me listening. We walk past this tree, and then she stops. "Wait! Can we sit under this tree? It's kinda hot, and also, I'm getting lazy." I smile at her. "Of course!" I say, going under the tree and sitting down. She walks over as well, I pull my hand out to help her, she takes it and sits next to me. "Wow, such a gentleman," she mocks. I laugh at her joke. I love that she makes me smile.Complete
