High school drama

|I|

High school. Whoever came up with that dumb name needs a serious talk with me. I mean why mix innocent kids with dumb and horny , rich spoilt brats with rotten attitude together , I mean that is just a recipe for disaster . Why waste your teenage life moving from one room to the next studying things you will not even need in the future. I mean look at all those celebrities who are singing but have no education and they still do way better than those who do have an education. I feel like I'm in prison only that I'm allowed to go home for the night only to return the next day for more torture. I mean it's not that bad if only we could be separated like the snobby go to their own school , the kind at another , the naughty on their own and the civilized at another maybe then will high school be more enjoyable. I mean they should really start doing some tests to see which school teenagers belong in like the factions in divergent. But yet again there will be rivals between the schools to determine which one is better . Uh .. my plans just never work out . Maybe if...

'Cannelle '

'Huh?'

'Cannelle!'

I jumped slightly from the way she had called my name.

'Emily what is up with all the shouting '

'I just asked you a question and you didn't answer I guess you zoned out as usual '

'Oh' I felt bad now 'I'm sorry Em you know how I get sometimes, what did you want to ask ?' She just looked at me an amused smile playing on her lips.

'Don't worry I'm used to it by now anyway I was saying do you want to come over to my house this weekend ?'

'Sure , what do you have planned?'

'I was thinking maybe swimming then a movie and if there's still some time maybe we could do some shopping '

' why don't we just have a sleepover it's been long '

'Yeah you're right I guess we'll just do that '

There was a commotion near the entrance of the cafeteria I craned my neck to see what was going on ,Emily also noticed and turned out of her seat to look behind her. When I say a flash of strawberry blonde hair I just rolled my eyes. I mean it could only be one person Brittany. The school bitch , everyone hated her but were too afraid to state point blank in front of her , she thought she was the baddest girl in the school. She had a loud mouth and didn't know when to keep it shut , she was rude as well and very blunt but what shocked me was her little minions that always hung out with her , they practically worshipped her especially Nicole who was really trying her hardest to climb up the hierarchy of most popular. Then there was Rachel another carbon copy of Brittany she was mean as well but tolerable but she had attitude. Next was Cindy who only became famous from her association with Brittany she used to be my friend when we were still freshmen but her passion for fame seemed to drive her away from me for good and I am glad that she did because now standing in the school cafeteria was a gold digging girl who was out searching for fame. Last but not least was Chelsea she seemed to be very confused on whether she should join the group or just hang out with Cindy as she was closest to her. What she didn't know was that the group talked about her behind her back and still pretended as if they were friends.

'I don't understand why you keep spreading rumors about me that aren't true Hailey'. Oh boy here we go again it's only lunch and she's already at it she sure knows how to cause a scene as she purposefully raises her voice for everyone to hear.

' what are you talking about ?'

' don't play dumb you know what I'm talking about !"

Hailey seemed to be totally confused by what was taking place if her confused face and deer caught in the headlights expression didn't signify my suspicions I would say she was set up , someone probably ran their mouth and blamed it on her. Hailey was practically harmless but that wouldn't stop Brittany in the least bit.
'I'm not talking to myself here !' She practically tapped her foot on the vinyl tiled floor adding a little bounce to it.
'Brittany I think you got it all wrong you must be mistaken I don't even know what you are talking about'

'So you want to play dumb huh let me fill you in , you lied about me hooking up with Josh at that party last week '

'What ?!'

'You heard me ' she spat.

'I didn't even go to that party let alone any other party '

'Now you listen to me you ever utter my name with your filthy mouth I will personally ruin you do I make myself clear' she didn't answer

'I said do I make myself clear '

'Ye.. yes ' she stuttered .

'That's what I thought ' before she sashayed over to their table as her minions followed close behind like loyal dogs.

I looked over at Emily but she was already looking at me , she was wearing the same expression as me . Annoyance. The nerve to waltz into the cafeteria like she owned the place, how I disliked her with a passion. I had once tried to make friends with her but as usual she thought herself too mighty for me and before long she was already gossiping about me. I was shy , weak and embarrassed then but now I was stronger more confident and above all not accepting any bitchy behavior. I vowed to myself never to be pushed around and if she ever started anything with me I would surely Finnish it.

It was getting hot and the atmosphere in the whole room was tense , you could here the cutlery clanging and a needle dropping . I needed fresh air and fast. Emily beat me to it.

'Elle you want to get out of here ?'

'I thought you'd never ask '

I was grabbing my file and phone when I felt a pair of eyes looking at me , I looked up only to be met by her cold blue eyes . Brittany. Her gaze never faltered and neither did mine I could see the hate and jealousy? That was brewing in her eyes she always had something against me maybe because of my looks but who cared I wasn't backing down. Nicole said something and she broke eye contact with me. I took that as my cue to leave but not without uttering a silent message.

I thought so. As I trailed behind Em to god knows where she was taking me.
============================================================
People sure do know how to crawl into other people's skin . You ever had someone hating on you when you have practically done nothing to them ?well if you haven't you are very lucky because out there , there are just people who want to make you miserable and don't want you to smile but hey if don't stand up for yourself and know your worth you'll be pushed around all your life. Remember it's what you do after that matters.
