Brielle’s POV
I glanced at Alice who looked away out of embarrassment, I was angry at the way Liam didn’t acknowledge her. He wasn’t expecting me to run into his arms because every other girl in the school was squealing their name. Just the second day in school and they have caused too much drama.
“You are blocking my line of vision,” I said instead of telling him my name and I heard his rich chuckle which did some tingling feelings inside of me, but I choose to ignore
“Well I’m sorry about that, you still haven't told me your name,” Liam said, and I sighed, I know he won’t be leaving anytime soon if I don’t tell him my name
“Brielle, is that okay with you, please move,” I said, but he chuckled, he seems so dumb to get my message, or he decided to stupidly play dumb
“Can I get your phone number?” he asked and looked at him skeptically, with my brow raised up, and I held on to my cackling, I didn’t want to look like a maniac in the parking lot.
I haven’t even gotten involved with them, and I was already warned by the school queen bee, not that I am afraid of her, but I don’t like unnecessary dramas and I would so much hate to be the talk of the school.
I held Alice’s hand, who was lost in a trance, and walked away from him, I hope that was enough message for him to know I don’t want to get involved with him.
“He is such an obnoxious spoiled brat, I hope you don’t mind the way he acted?” I asked, hoping to lift Alice's mood, her mood wasn’t as great as it was before.
“Yeah I don’t mind” she chuckled awkwardly, and I know she is not fine yet but decided not to say a word
“Do you mind grabbing an ice cream with me, my throat is pleading for something cold and yummy” I said chuckling and Alice chuckled too. I sighed happily when I saw her mood way better than it was before.

I held my bag tightly as I stood in front of the school gate, “another day to conquer” I muttered and walked inside the school, hoping to see Alice soon.
We had gone out the previous day to get some ice cream and taken several pictures which were so beautiful, I jogged to the hall and my steps slowed down when I saw every eye in school on me, I furrowed my brows and wondered what was going, I look around hoping to get the glimpse of Alice, but I couldn’t find her
The noisy hallway turned quiet as I walked in, and I'm aware of how the guys whispered and snickered among themselves as they watch my every step.
It's like they're scrutinizing me like a fly under an experiment, and I feel wary of their stares.
“Damn! You got some amazing titties” a boy suddenly said and the once silent hall erupted into laughter.
What titties?! What is he talking about?
I looked around for Alice. She was my only friend, and right now, I really needed her because I didn't feel comfortable with all their stares.
I headed straight for my locker and the first thing I did was call Alice, but she wasn't picking up, and I began to get really worried.
I was never one to be popular, even at my past schools, but how come I suddenly come to school and everyone's eyes are on me?
After several failed attempts to get her to pick up the call, I just opened up my locker to prepare for homeroom and first period and I suddenly heard a loud annoying chuckle beside me.
I groaned and tilted my head to see Hayley and her minions looking at me, Hayley held out her phone and I gave her a skeptical look before collecting the phone from her
I saw a video of myself naked. I was only clad in a pant and a bra. I remembered it was a video I made with Alice when she visited my house for the first time, my hands trembled and before the phone fell off my hand, Hayley snatched her phone away from me.
My eyes widened when I realized every student was with their phone and the video must have been broadcasted to them, the video was captioned with Greenville naked Nerd.
“I will kill to get my lips on those titties,” another student said, and they burst into laughter
“Slut!” A female student spat.
“You just came here about a week ago, and you want the whole attention on you. You are such a w***e and so cheap. I bet she must have slept with all the male students in her old school and that’s why she ran here” another said.
“To continue her sexcapades” another screamed, and they all burst into laughter
Tears stung my eyes, and I was unable to form any coherent words, I have never been the center of attention before and this was sickening. I refused to let the tears fall though, because I knew that whoever did this wanted to see me miserable, and I wasn't going to give them the satisfaction of seeing me cry.
“How did you get the video?” I asked with the last ounce of strength in me, I was barely stable, and my body shook in shame and rage.
“You still want to know how I got this? You really don’t have any shame, do you?” Hayley said and everyone burst into laughter, I suddenly saw Alice walk towards them and stand beside them.
I was shocked, and I couldn’t believe my so-called friend was standing with people that have broadcasted a naked video of me, I suddenly connected the dots, and it occurred to me, Alice was the only one that had the video, and she must have been the one that shares it with them
"Alice!" I snapped, aware she could hear me, but the Alice I saw wasn't the Alice I knew. The Alice I trusted and thought I could count on, and she doesn’t look any remorseful.
"What?! What do you want from me? Do you think we're friends or something?! I literally just met you like last week… you're the gullible one … You're the stupid one for actually trusting me with that video, so I did what I had to do… "she trailed off
"And she did really well … " Hayley said as she walked close to me, our noses almost touching as she whispered so no one could hear. "this could count as a tip of an iceberg If you intend to do anything with the Torres Triplets."
I back away and turn to Alice.
"I thought we were friends… "
"Well, you thought wrong." She mumbled, and the passersby and the crowd of students who had gathered around us burst out laughing.
"Now leave! Can't you see we don't want you here… " Cherry, one of Hayley’s minions snapped at me and I jolted out in fear when I realized she was speaking to me for the first time. But my eyes kept traveling to Alice.
"Do you think she's going to apologize for what she did?" Hayley sniggered.
Tears filled my eyes, but I blinked them away hurriedly.
I began running out in a fit of rage and betrayal, I heard their voice getting louder as they laughed at how much of a coward I was. But at that moment I didn’t care, I just wanted to be far away from them as possible.
