Chapter 3: POOF!

Bernadine's P.O.V.

It's really nice of Clara to help me but, I'm feeling a little self couscous about entering a clique.

I won't just get in like "POOF!" Right?

There's a lot of decisions to go through, and a ritual.

Well, at least that's what Crash said it was like.

Oh by the way, my brother is popular, I wasn't kidding.

I wasn't even kidding about me sitting on the floor EVERY SINGLE DAY.

They just place their bags when I try to sit somewhere.

My brother, Crash Stones is the boyfriend of this popular girl, Courtney Huderski.

Even my brother doesn't let me sit in his table, his so called "friends" tell him not to allow me in their table.

I sighed.

That's just my life.

Anyway, after class, me and Clara went looking for an open group.

"If you want a group, you need an extra curricular!" She told me. "So, what do you like to do?"

"Well...." I thought, hard. "I like Photography, and Editing, I guess"

I just realized, that's actually my favorite hobby.

"Look!" She pointed to a poster. "There's an opening for Palette Lead Artist (Female) and Head of Photography! Quick, give me a photo you took."

"Uhm, okay..." I hesitated. "I have a bunch of photos in my locker."

"Okay, open your locker and I'll choose a photo." She rushed. "Don't worry, I know what kind of photos they like."

I'm still worried.

"O-okay..." I stuttered while opening my locker. "Here."

I handed her all he photos i found in my locker.

She quickly skimmed through my photos then....

"Aha!" She exclaimed victoriously, surprising me. "This is perfect! Let's go!"

"I don't know if I should...." I hesitated.

Arghh!!! Why am I so insecure?

I was too late anyway, she already ran away.

I have a bad feeling about this.

I followed Clara.

"Clara! I have a bad feeling about this!" I chuckled, my tone faltering.

She grabbed me by the hand.

"Come on! James has good news for you!" She rushed.

"You got the job!" James announced. "For head of photography for the school paper, and the editor in chief job!"

"Really? Just like that? No initiation or something....?" I asked, eyes widening.

"Do you want an initiation?" James laughed.

"Y-yes I mean.... No! Of course not!" I snapped myself out of my thoughts.

"Thank you Clara! You're the best!" I thanked her.

She really helped me a lot today.

"No problem!" She gushed. "It's what I do!"

After Clara left, I thanked James and said goodbye.

I ran to the bus, but the bus was already leaving when I got there

"No! Wait! Don't leave!" I tried. "PLEASE!!!!!"

It's hopeless, I can't get home, and it looks like it's about to rain, just my luck.

Just when I thought the day was turning for the wrong side, I saw a limo.

"Hey Bernadine!" Clara waved. "Hop on!"

She owns a limo?

I obediently hopped on to the limo.

"You own a limo?" I asked, suddenly.

"Please, don't tell everyone." She whispered. "I'm a Von Pelt."

"You're the daughter of Peter Von Pelt!" I gasped.

"I never told anyone." She hushed me. "It's because well.... I didn't want everyone to pretend to be nice to me."

An Akward silence came after.

"Where is your house?" She asked, breaking the silence.

"Uh, just drop me off here, I know my way from here." I told her.

"Okay. Mr.Rubin please stop the limo, thank you." She asked her driver in a polite tone.

Well at least I think it was her driver.

The limo stopped and I hopped off.

"Thanks Clara!" I thanked her.

"No problem! And don't tell anyone! Promise?" She pleaded.

"Cross my heart." I promised. "I won't let it spill."

The limo left, and I walked home.

"Hi Bernadine!" My mom greeted when I got home. "You look happy."

"I got a clique and I got an extra curricular." I smiled.

"That's awesome!" She clapped. "Good thing I made your favorite, Mom's Dinner Burger!"

"Yay!" I smiled, again.

This is the best day, ever!

Author's Note:

Bernadine isn't really a main character, she's just a part of some drama later on.

I also wanted to show that This book isn't all Clara's POVs

Also some other characters will have their POVs.

Like, Bea Crown for example.

BTW Bea Crown is one of the usual Queen Bees in a High School story. She is from the clique called, Crowns.
