Cutie and the Dork

Cutie and the Dork chapter 2

“Hi, I'm Andrea the student union rep. There's a meeting in the grand hall.” She smiled brightly and I replied the smile taking care to carry my purse, putting in some cash, my new phone and my door keys.

“You didn't tell me your name.” Andrea seemed a typical popular girl, light blonde haired like myself, blue eyed, great clothes. I sighed internally hoping that they wouldn’t see me as a geek.

“Oh sorry, I'm Rhea. I'm a junior.” I introduced myself smiling, she looked at me confused.

“How come you’re starting here now?” she probed, I smiled again.

“I needed a dose of freedom.” At her confused expression I added “Me and my brother were driving each other nuts.” I smiled and she laughed, I faked a little giggle thinking how pretty she was. If they all looked like her I was in trouble. We entered the hall and I looked around the room, I glanced up at the ceiling and saw the beautiful chandelier enhancing the detail of the artwork coving the ceiling. I sat down in a chair bumping the girl next to me accidently.

“I'm so sorry!” I heard the unnatural squeal of my voice, the girl turned. Yet another blonde I scowled internally. She was pretty with her dark blonde hair, brown eyes and deep tan.

“It's ok! I'm Brianna, you're new?” her reply was as squealed as my own.

“I'm Rhea. Yeah, I just unpacked my stuff!” I wondered to myself ‘why am I still squealing?’.

“What room?” She smiled.

“220.” I replied sounding more like myself.

“Oh. Em. Gee. I'm in 218!” she smiled, I smiled broadly in return.

“Dormies!” We shrieked at the same time, ok now I was freaking myself out. I never said anything close to the word ‘dormies’.

“Rachel, Rheas in 220!” Brianna cried to the girl next to her. Rachel had loose auburn ringlets, light green eyes and light freckles over her small nose.

“I'm 219! We totally have to do something tonight!” She smiled broadly.

“Cool!” I smiled just as an older lady entered the room. She had an air of class, her pristine beige suit, little black heels and grey hair pulled into a tight chignon.

“Good afternoon girls.” She waited whilst we all replied good afternoon in unison. I had seen pictures of her in the brochure she was Mrs. Davidson the headmistress of the girls. The school was for boys and girls but it was split in a way so girls had separate dorms, assembles and sometimes trips. The campus was huge with a clothes shop, coffee shop, private gyms with spas so you can pay to get your nails done and everything else you do in beauty salons and a treasury that contained the money our parents put in at the start of the year so we can buy whatever we like. The campus was surrounded by lush green trees forming a forest, and had open grounds with beautiful fountains which separated the girls’ side and the boys’ side.

“I'm sure you all know the routine by now. Those of you that are new to the school have been provided with packs and don't hesitate to come to one of the staff or your fellow peers.” Mrs. Davidson continued and after an hour or so we were dismissed.

“So what year are you?” Brianna asked whilst putting on another layer of lipgloss.

“I'm a junior.” The two girls screamed “Us too!” I smiled broadly even though I had looked over my shoulder to check for a mass murderer.

“Let's go to the coffee shop, I totally need a soya latte.” Brianna pulled me and Rachel by the arms leading us out of the hall and towards the coffee shop.  I felt a vibration from my bag and I nearly jumped two feet in the air. I looked at the display and noticed it was my parents, I answered smiling. They told me they had got home safe and were very happy that I seemed to have friends for the first time ever! I got off the phone just as we reached the coffee shop, as we stepped inside several girls ran over to us squealing. After I had been introduced, we all sat down and discussed home rooms as well as lesson and other school topics.

As a bunch of guys came into the coffee room, the girls all ran over hugging them and kissing them on the cheeks. I stood a bit further back looking at them, there were five guys all of them overly cute jock types. One was called Jacob he was green eyed with dark brown hair, the second one Ryan had dirty blonde hair and blue eyes, the third was Gareth he had light brown hair and eyes, the forth was called Matthew he had jet black hair and brown eyes and the fifth was Freddie, he was by far the cutest boy I had ever met he had shiny light blonde hair and grey-blue eyes. All of them were ridiculously muscular and gave me a cuddle as they introduced themselves, I was blushing furiously but no one mentioned it thank god! I couldn’t believe my look, I was part of the popular gang. My whole life spent as a geek had been wiped away in one afternoon, well not my whole life I was still determined to get A*’s in all of my subjects. 

At closing time we left the coffee shop and split for bed with the boys at the entrance, they all hugged us girls goodnight before we went towards our dorm. We started walking briskly back towards our dorm huddling closely together as it had gotten cold. The moon and stars were shining brightly above us, if I had been at home I would have been laying on my balcony and watching all the constellations.

“When did they all get so muscular?! Did you see how hot Jacob looked, he is totally going to be mine this year!”

“Bri! You say that every year! I want Gareth he is too hot!”

“What about you Rhe?” I turned to Brianna and I just knew I had an awfully silly grin on my face.

“Freddie, he's gorgeous!” I couldn’t help but blush at the words as they came out of my mouth.

“He is hot, he's Louise’s ex but that was like freshman year.”

“Bri it was last year! They broke up because she was clingy or something.” Rachel corrected her smiling.

“Oh year, oh poor Louise she really loved him too.”

“Oh maybe I should leave him then.”

“Rhe! Don't be silly! He so likes you! The way he was looking at you!” Rachel made a bad impression of him swooning over me; I laughed so much I doubled over.

“He's totally into you.” Brianna agreed once she had finished laughing. We got into our dorm and we hugged goodnight. We arranged to get ready and meet at Rachel’s room at 10am, apparently I was in need of a manicure and practice for the cheer auditions which were starting on Monday night. I laid on the bed expecting to stare at the ceiling for hours before I could get to sleep, to my surprise as soon as I pulled the cover to my shoulders I fell asleep. 

My alarm buzzed telling me it was half past eight, I got up showered and debated what I should put on. In the end I settled for a white summer dress with spaghetti straps and a pair of flat brown leather sandals with a saddle bag that rested on my hip from the strap which was rested on my opposite shoulder. When I knocked on Rachel's door I was surprised that she was wearing the same dress, we laughed and confirmed that they were both the same dress from Gucci. Soon after Bri came to the door and she was wearing the same dress, with the same Louis Vuitton bag we were all looking in shock and then burst out laughing. We decided to get changed; I put on another summer dress that was lilac my mom had told me it brought out my eyes. I checked my makeup and headed back to Rachel's room, luckily though this time we all wore different dresses!

As we stepped outside the heat of the day surprised me, we walked towards the spa and went inside. After I had got my hair mid back length hair trimmed, my eyebrows threaded and a manicure and pedicure we left.

“I love French manicures.” I said looking at my new nails.

“They suit you, I'm not sure about my pink tips though.” Brianna frown sticking her hands out in front of her.

“I really like them, they look really nice.” I examined them smiling.

“Thanks!” she beamed. The boys were strolling towards us, I felt my heart rate speed up when I saw Freddie waving. I waved back and once we were all in front of each other we all gave the boys hugs. We all sat down and were chatting and laughing for the rest of the afternoon, they bought us lunch and everything!
