Choosing Sides

" Beware, Portia High.

It is time. Beware, for the true queen bee is coming out. Brooklyn Taylor Ryder against Jenna Lucy Richards. I repeat. Brooklyn Taylor Ryder. Up against Jenna Lucy Richards.

Ladies and gentlemen, prepare to pick your ally.

The battle has begun. "

Brooklyn Ryder was stunned when she heard the announcement from the speaker system. But she knew who did it. Jenna Richards.

Jenna and Brooklyn were enemies. Their fathers were competitors in the shipping business. They were co-captains of the dance team, both trying to outshine the other. Jenna was class chairperson of her class, Brooklyn was chairperson of her own class. They were always either first or second in the grades. Brooklyn was good at the piano, guitar, saxophone and flute. Jenna could play the trumpet, oboe, drums and cello. Brooklyn was gifted in writing, singing, gymnastics and sports. Jenna was good in drawing, painting, shopping and flirting.

Brooklyn was smart, charming, beautiful and funny, while Jenna was clever, sly, stuck-up and mean. Both girls knew how to tease a praise out of even the most rigid and uptight of people.

Jenna always resented Brooklyn for having more friends, and made sure that she was better than her in the boyfriend department. When she found a way to broadcast her fight, Brooklyn knew she could not back out.

Days went by and friends chalked out the sides they took. Everything was normal. Everything was going strong for Brooklyn. Until Chase Knight happened.

Chase was the school player. Every two days he had a different chick hanging from his arms. In Brooklyn's case, he was her one biggest mistake. And he is currently dating Jenna.

Days passed. The scores are rapidly increasing. Soon almost everyone in Portia High School had cast their vote towards Brooklyn or Jenna. Everyone except Chase. Brooklyn swore to do everything in her power to win. Will she get her best friend back?

Portia High, beware. This is war.
