KATE'S TALE

chapter 5

Entering math class I spotted Shantel immediately with a few of our other friends (acquaintances) has I liked to call them, we don't associate outside of class except if its absolutely necessary and just to say hi.

Seeing me headed her way she pulled the chair besides her and patted it for me to sit and I smiled sitting down and saying hi! To a few people before Shantel dismissed them and faced me.

"Okay girl there's drama and I want to know about it. What did they want with you guys? Was Christy bothering you again? Tell me and I will deal with the bitch black girl style." She said seriously making me bust out laughing.

"No its nothing like that. Smith and Ryan just wanted to talk about our group project, Derek asked me out, and Christy is apparently tired of her friends and wants to hang." She looked at me for a minute.

"Let me get this straight Christy wants to hang with you guys?" She asked looking at me incredulously.

"From all I just said, that's only what you ask about?" I stared at her surprised.

"No, but that's the most important one out of everything you just said." I nodded completely agreeing.

"This has to be a faux, I mean its Christy. She has tortured you guys for a long time, plus she wants to be friends exactly when Derek starts taking interest in you." she shook her head looking at me skeptically.

"I know right, but the thing is she wants us to talk at her place. I would love to say am not going but I am dead curious. Plus if she's planning something we are not the same girls we once were to take it standing." I said shrugging.

She signed looking at me "if you're sure babe then go, but you better call me to tell me what went down k." I nodded smiling at her concern.

"So about Derek?" She said smiling coyly and I laughed.

"Yeah well I don't know about that. He asked me out but you know how I feel when guys ask me out. I mean I it was like, it wasn't special anymore when he asked me first though Rita is planning an intervention when we get home on the topic." I said rolling my eyes and she shook her head at me signing.

The teacher walked in the class and she leaned in whispering "girl you're all kinds of crazy and weird, but that's what I love about you." She winked and we laughed facing the class.

Leaving the class I couldn't be any happier, "man maths was such a drag today." I said groaning has we walked down the halls to her locker to drop her books and then moved to drop mine.

"Yeah! Mr. Field needs to learn to keep it simple yet interesting, I was falling asleep a couple of times and that's coming from me who eats and breathes maths." she said dramatically and I just shook my head.

Reaching my locker I saw Rita and Vivian already there talking, waiting for us so we could all go to the girls locker room to change for gym.

"Yuck! blonde and blonder what's happening white Chicca's." she said has we neared them making them face us. Rita tried to hide her displeasure at seeing Shantel and smiled fakely but Viv just didn't bother.

"Hi! Shantel." I put my stuff in my locker and closed it facing them.

"Oh wow! Any more of those fake smiles Rita and you could get wrinkles." Shantel said with mock concern making Rita drop her smile and hooked her arm through mine walking away dragging me along.

"I hate her Kate." She hissed has we looked back to see Vivian and Shantel ignoring each other looking through their phones following us.
