Not your Barbie girl
~Ava Max
Not your barbie girl,
I'm livin' in my own world.
I ain't plastic, call me classic.
You can't touch me there,
you can't touch my body.
Unless I say so, ain't your barbie, no.
I can take myself on a dinner date.
Buy myself diamonds and
the champagne.
Order five courses,
then chocolate cake, uh-huh.
Actin' like I care when I want a man
Actin' like I care but I don't, and?
I do my own thing,
yeah watch me dance, uh-huh.
I'm my own boss,
I'm remindin' you of it.
Somethin' that you just can't get.
Words don't tempt me,
tryin' to break me.
In these heels I ain't tryin' to trip, no
Did you forget I'm real?
Oh, I'm breathing, touch me, feel
Oh, say I'm your toy to play with, wanna put me in a box.
You ain't gonna talk to me like that, you better stop!

CHAPTER 14 : SARCASTIC ME
ISABELLA'S POV
I settled in my usual seat ,
while preparing myself to deal with Maths and realising I am never gonna be ready, but still I have to do it anyway !
Professor entered and rest of the class also settled down .
Yet there was no sign of Mr Royal Miller , I should be happy but instead I found myself thinking about him .
10 minutes had already passed and just as I was about to dose off , the door opened and Ro walked in casually as if he wasn't even late in the first place.
"Royal where are your manners ?"
"He had them in the first place ?" ,
I taunted , a few students snickered and the professor glared at me .
"Royal , Detention after school and Isabella , no one asked you "
I thanked the universe because
I almost thought that she would
say both of us which meant another hour of torture with the devil himself.
" You got away ha . Imagine just us in detention room " he smirked
" I had plans anyway "
" Your tutoring "
"It's a study date "
" Study date ! But he could do much better , I mean look at you "
Damn , this boy doesn't leave any chance to hit on my nerves .
"That's what I told myself when
I realised you were my best friend "
This made him shut up for the rest of the period, even though I didn't mean it and I knew , he didn't as well.
After bell rung what he asked surprised and calmed me at the same time,
" By the way , what's with the new look ?"
He noticed !
He freaking noticed!
I mean if he hadn't then there was no point in going through all this drama..
" What look ? I'm just embracing my stylish self "
Lol , that's what you come up with Bell ? I regret being you .
I feel you ,
that's all I could say to my inner voice .
" Is it that? Or are you trying to impress somebody here?"
" Maybe , maybe not "
" Listen you need not to behave this way for anyone , if he doesn't like the real you , then he doesnt even deserve you in the first place "
Woah!
" Why do you even care ?"
" Because that's not who you are " he whispered
" Same goes for you!" I shouted and
hurried outside .
Knowing all to well , he didn't bother following me because he was stunned at my words .
I went to washroom .
Peed, washed hands , washed my face . Applied perfume and boom ,
made my way towards library.
" Hey . You are 5 minutes late " he said cheekily
"Sorry for that , let's start right away "
" Yaa . Economics " he gulped
I laughed at his reaction.
After about 2 hours , we were done with the theory explanation.
" I'm hungry. Let's grab something to eat , what say ?"
" um. Alrighty "
I mean who declines to a food offer , right ? Not that I'm letting him pay .
So we ended up eating at McDonalds .
I ordered Chicken burger with coke for myself and he bought the same with fries as well.
I got to know a bit about him .
He seemed sweet with the worst pickup lines to ever exist but it's actually cute on him.
After that , I called Daisy and we filled each other with the usual stuff , surprisingly she didn't tease me about Marvin and our study date .
' Once a Rozy shipper , always a Roella shipper ' ,
her words , not mine !
Enough about me , she seemed so happy on the phone , turns out it's going very well between Daisy and her boyfriend , Patrick .
I hope they stay the same forever .
The next thing I know is I am calling my parents and disturbing their beauty sleep or whatever ,
don't want any siblings now , do I ?
Just kidding !
Before going to bed , I completed 2 assignments which took freaking 3 hours and it seemed as if it took longer because my roommate was snoring as if he owns the place !
So me being me ,took a pillow and blocked his nose for a few seconds which didn't wake him up ,
no surprise there , but atleast the snoring stopped .
I did my victory dance , which is just me shaking my bum and hands
Then going up and down
Don't imagine it .
I repeat , Do not imagine it !
I'll look worse than a clown , no offense .
---
Next day ,
" Isabella!"
I look up instantly and find the professor glaring at me while the others chuckling at my sleepy state .
Is it just me or the classrooms provide the best sleeping environment ?
I didn't even get enough sleep last night , on top of that this professor has to bore the hell outta me .
After the lecture got over , I grabbed coffee for myself and went to library to study with Marvin .
" By the way , are you free this Saturday?"
" No , I'm expensive "
" I'm ready to pay the price " he winked
" Wait a minute !
Are you asking 'me' on a date? "
" Maybe , may not be " he winked again.
" I think we should study now .
If you ace Eco test , I might actually consider it "
" Deal?"
" Deal "
He smiles .
After an hour or something , I left after saying,
"Listen once you are done with that , read this passage and try to answer these questions . I gotta go now "
" Okay . I'll be waiting " he says and
I make my way towards dance class .
When I enter the place , I see Jessica rehearsing.
Even thought I kinda sorta dislike her , I admit she dances so gracefully !
" First Royal , than me . Are you bi ?" She asks out of nowhere
" Even if I was , I'm pretty sure I deserve better "
I mentally patted my back for that response which made her cringe.
"Why are you even here if you can't dance ?" She asks
I ignore her question.
I may not be as good as her but my dancing skills are pretty nice .
" Looks like you ran out of your comebacks ha " she smirks
Action speaks louder than words .
And I ignore her yet again and observe others who are entering the room right now .
She forcefully makes me look at her and says , " I'm talking to you "
" My bad . Guess what ?
I'm not talking to you "
" Listen you... " she didn't get to complete whatever she was trying because the dance instructor walked in .
She played a few songs and all we had to was follow her , sort of like Zumba .
I felt she is just trying to get us all familiar with certain dance steps until we jump in to the advance level.
Then we showered and finally it was Lunch time for me to feed my stomach .
" How was your practice Bella ?"
" All good "
" What about Jessica, isn't she in your class? " Lu asks
" Don't remind me " I groan
I looked away and then my eyes fell on Ro with his friends .
Before he catches me staring , I look in a different direction.
" By the way, what about your plan ?"
" Nah , I am not taking it much seriously "
Now that he noticed it , it's more than enough .
I took my Eco book out and started revising because I have a test after this !
" Who even studies in the Canteen ?" Harv asks
" The one who has a test coming up "
Harv looks at Chris who stares at Harv and the next thing we know is they burst out laughing !
" Come on stop pulling her leg ",
Lu tells them , knowing all too well that they are the ones who actually need to study ...
She says to me ,
" I have an idea!"
" Yeah?"
" Fail this test "
"What ?? I think I heard you wrong "
" You didn't ! Think about it ,
what can be better than failing a test for this plan to work "
" After mom comes to know about it ,
I do know what can be worse ,
'Mee regretting being a mortal!!' "
" You're being dramatic "
" I'm being practical.
Besides why in my right mind would
I actually opt to fail when I have studied "
" Fine ! I'm just trying to help you " and she makes the puppy dog eyes right after saying that .
"I'll think of something , thanks though " I said and dug into my food .
My book is still open but I don't get to actually read it in here !
Note to self: No such thing as Group study exists .
I entered Economics class and sat in my usual desk .
I notice Beca at the back and that's when I realise she's also in the same class , unfortunately may I add .
" Just keep your pen on the desk and keep your bags aside .
Last lecture, everyone meet me here again , I'll distribute the graded papers back to you today itself "
We all nod our heads .
" Am I clear?"
" Yes " , almost everyone says .
My legs start shaking involuntarily and so I feel like I am exam-phoebic !
I'll pass I know ,
either pass in the test or by pass !
I have studied , not much, not less , but enough to gain the basic knowledge.
For the first question , I have to write a short note on Economics for 5 marks and so on..
Just as I was about to write the last sentence of my last question ,
the bell rings and the professor snatches our papers rightaway.
I exit the class , along with the others.
While walking , I'm slightly pushed to the side and I turn around to see the culprit ...
Rebecca !
I try to avoid it but she says sarcastically ,
" Sorry by mistake "
" I regret wishing to go on a beach , seems like Santa heard me wrong and sent me a bitch instead "
" I'm not letting this go " she warns and I flip a finger at her while walking away .
Next I have to deal with freaking English , there's nothing wrong with English , but there's everything wrong with my classmates except Lucy .
Fortunately the lecture ends before it even started .
I mean the professor had to go somewhere immediately so our class was canceled which means we are free right now .
Chris and Harv are in their classes studying Physics!
Me and Lucy decided to walk around the campus , getting to know more about each other.
Then we parted ways to go to our respective classes .
This time , I purposely sat beside Ro and asked ,
" Why on Earth your friends hate me ?"
" Because you slapped me " he says like it's the most obvious thing
" You deserved it "
" Why do you think they hate you?
I mean did they do something to you?"
" Do something ? Seems like you've completely forgotten the time when
I was bullied here or when your girlfriends bad mouth me and stuff "
" Look , I even apologized that day "
" You know what .. keep your sorrys to yourselves , knowing your actions these days , you'll be needing a lot of those "
He swings his bag on his back and goes to sit somewhere else .
Fudge you Royal!
Not literally!
I try my best to avoid his existence. But my eyes backstab me and find it's way towards him every now and then.
When the bell rings , everyone walks out except me and him .
" What??" He asks
" What 'what' ? "
" Stop staring at me , it's creepy "
" You know what's creepier , your face when I punch you " ,
I leave the class and he is left standing there with his mouth ajar.
Sarcastic me ! Yahoo.
After Maths , I go to Eco yet again just to collect the paper and check how much have I pooped !
I mean scored..
After the students settled down , professor handed us our papers with a disappointed look on his face which made me kinda worried about my marks.
I saw my grade and I'm kinda shocked with what I got ..
I mean , I felt like I didn't deserve it.
"So how much did you score ?"
Beca asks , clearly startling me from behind .
" Pretty sure more than you " I say, while hiding my grade .
Bell you can be nice , for once !
" Anyways , I'm guessing you failed " she says
I'm being 'nice' by not replying to her
comment .
" You seriously failed, didn't you?" ,
She asks cheekily
" Come on , you can tell me " She says while slightly banging my desk .
My irritated self whisper yells ,
" Yes I did ! happy ?!"
Then I walk out of the class .
