Annie walks into school hurriedly with Brenda and Carrie. Annie had woken up late making them late and now they only had a few minutes left till their class would begin. They all rush to their lockers and grab their books before heading to class. Fortunately, they get in just before the teacher enters. "Good morning students", the teacher greets and the students reply half-heartedly while some do not reply at all. Only a few students replied eagerly which was usually Annie's clique but not today. Upon entering the class, she had looked around for Will and found him bowing his head on his desk. Maybe he was really sick like she had previously assumed. She turns to look at him again and catches him staring. She smiles on catching him and he turns away. She felt her countenance sink as he turned away. Will didn't usually turn away when she caught him staring even before he confessed his feelings. He would always wink at her or chuckle and after confessing his feelings, he could ev
Will is turning about in his bed at night. He previously didn't think he would be so affected if Annie rejected his love but now that she did….. he couldn't sleep, he couldn't even pick up his phone without wanting to re-read the message she sent to him just to check if it was real. All his music suddenly seemed annoying to him but he was bored as hell. "Argh…. why did I fall in love in the first place?", he complains and curses. He had already drank three bottles of beer but suddenly lost interest in getting drunk and stopped. He was trying to keep in how hurt he felt but it was consuming him on the inside. He is still tossing about in his bed when his phone rings. He picks it and it was Annie. He tries to ignore it like he did the previous night but she seemed to be more persistent today. He switches off his phone and tosses his pillow away exasperatedly. He groans and continues tossing around in his bed. He is finally about to sleep off when he hears the doorbell. He frowns
The cheerleaders are standing in the field two days later to vote for their new head-cheerleader. The previous day's nominations had declared Annie, Bianca, Carrie and a grade ten student named Brittany the final candidates. While Bianca viewed the election as a competition and had been walking around all day asking people to vote for her, Annie and Carrie felt totally unbothered. "Okay I want Annie, Bianca, Carrie and Brittany to stand in a straight horizontal line", their coach orders and they act accordingly. "Now all those voting for them should just stand behind them", she commands and everyone starts choosing places. When they are done, Maddie and other grade twelve students who were on the team count the number of people who stood behind each contestant. Grade twelve students were not allowed to vote, they could only participate in nomination. "Okay. At the end of this voting exercise,I am pleased to announce the results. Brittany has 39, Carrie has 41, Annie has 50 an
Will finally realizes Bianca's intent as Annie puts up her hand. She wanted to make Annie angry with him. Why was she such a sneaky bitch, he complains internally. "Annie, I really didn't", he tries to explain but she puts a finger to his lips. "I told you to shut up, didn't I? I know what she did. I saw her jump on you immediately we came out. She is trying to make me jealous, I know" "So you don't have a problem with that?" "I would if we were dating, but not with you, with her actually. But since we aren't dating…..", she trails off and shrugs. "So you're okay with it because you know that I won't cheat on you?", he asks. "If you mess around with Bianca, it doesn't mean you're cheating on me. We're not dating", she replies and his countenance sinks. "What can I do to make you trust me?" "It'll take a lot of time Will", she replies and he exhales. "Hey Carrie", Will says after a brief silence. "So you finally notice me now huh?", she replies. "Well it
A teenage girl walks towards the doors of a high school building: Brooklyn high school, feeling despondent. She was doing great in her old school but her father just had to get a transfer. Now she had to make new friends, gain a new identity and strive to be popular again which was almost everything in high school. She opens the doors with a sigh and enters the bubbling hallway. Who was she to ask help from? A boy having a heated make out, a girl ransacking her locker and looking very frustrated, or a girl walking out of a class and typing furiously on phone. She decides to go for the girl ransacking her locker. "Hey", she began and the girl flipped her pretty pair of marble-grey eyes in her direction. "I'm a new student", she adds and the girl frowns. "How can I help you?" "I'm trying to find the principal's office, can you show me what direction it is?" "Okay", she replies and begins stuffing her belongings back into the locker. "Let me take you there", she sighs w
Will walks to his locker after the class and meets his other friends: Kenneth, Dave, Robert and Harrison waiting for him by his locker. Will and the four of them were popularly called 'Le Cinq' meaning the five. They were one of the most popular male students and major players in the school. "Look who is approaching; it's Will, king of the jungle. All the girls are at his feet", Kenneth hails. "Stop messing with me Ken", Will replies. "I just met the hottest girl ever". "It's been a while since you said such, who's she?", Harrison asks. "A newbie in my anatomy class" "Wait you were amongst those in the anatomy class today?", Dave exclaims. "I heard a hot newbie attended class with you guys today. Tell us about her" "She's pitching tent with Rick and Genny"&nbs
Genny and Annie are walking home after school and Annie is deep in thought. "Annie?" "Yes" "What's wrong?" "Huh?", She mutters now perked up. "What's wrong with you? You've been quiet since we left the gym". "Oh… well… I think I may have been the cause of the fight between Will and his friends". "Oh don't bother yourself with that. It's something they do all the time to assert supremacy". "No, this is not that". "Why do you think so?" "When you and Will went to class before gym, Bob and Dave came to talk to me. We had
Carrie and Annie enter a class and seat down.u "I'm Annie, Hannah" "How's that a shorter version?" "Genny seems to think it is" "Well Hannah does seem like a handful, so old-fashioned" "Probably Genny's point" "Ah… you're hanging with Genny. Will is really going to be on your neck" "How?" "She's his best friend's girl, legitimate excuse to hang around you", she says and Annie laughs. "My full name is actually Carrielyn. Carrie came in around middle School and since Will and I attended the same middle School, he brought it here. Being as popular and hot as he is, everybody began to follow suit". "Oh I see, you guys must be
