JERKS PRIDE

CHAPTER FOUR

I really hate morning because i have to wake up and then go to school,lastly i have to see James and his crew and his crew who will in turn make the day horrific for me. just wonderful, right?

Well, am in the school park now but I don't want to come out of my car. I have been sitting in my car for the past thirty minutes just thinking about how nice it would have been if there was nothing like school and mornings in my life time but guess what my answer is.............."I don't know".

Mustering enough courage i got out of the car walking into the building, it was only when i got inside that i notice everyone were in an intense conversation stealing glances at the administrative office occasionally as if expecting someone to come out.

James passed me without saying anything nor doing anything along with his crew. Now that got my curiosity to a higher level but i pushed it down so that i will not implicate myself to any unwanted a***e.

****************

It is now launch break and my curiosity is about to explode because am sure something big is happening and it concerns the new student that just arrived today. I have yet to see him but i he is in the school building, there is one question running circles in my head "who is this person and why all this echoes because of him/her".

Today I know my curiosity will kill me because am sitting in the cafeteria with hopes of seeing this student. I don't know where all the adrenaline came from but i expected it to be drained from me when James and his crew came into the cafeteria but no such luck because am still sitting, eating and looking at the cafeteria door without sparing James and his friends a second glance. I blamed it all on lack of sleep from girls night yesterday.

The surprising thing is no one has said anything to me or show any form of surprise that am in the cafeteria with them,not even James. "can this day get any better". when am about to give up on seeing this person that seemed to be my lucky charm.......

The door to the cafeteria opened and five boys along with some cheerleaders walk in silencing the whole cafeteria in the process. The three boys in front i don't recognize but the other two are from my history class.

That means it was actually three new boys but that is not what shocked me,the fact that they look like models and had great styles was not the reason am shocked either. Now what shocked me was the fact that they have formed their own group and have no intention of joining James and his crew. ****oh joy...........i can smell a challenge coming because it has to be only one leading group****

Am not going to tell you what happened after that but let's just say they decide to start a quarrel and fight in the cafeteria.

You don't know this but let me just tell you sitting in this little corner and watching them fight has been the best thing that has happen today.

Knowing that am no one's target is just wonderful,just that there is no popcorn and this is the school building so the principal will spoil the FREE show.

And true to my words he came (principal) came out to settle the dispute and took my actors to his office (i swear he doesn't know a good show).

**************

I spent the rest of the day smiling like a manic while everyone else has been tensed. Am sure they don't know a good show too.

After the last bell rang i headed to my car, i was about opening the door when I spot three cheerleaders heading to their car. I don't know what is wrong with me but I found myself heading to their direction(I guess mom's gene is kicking in). Adrenaline is still pumping in my vein because these girls are not and cannot be my friends.

"hi girls", i greeted them. Immediately their smiles dropped so i quickly added " i know you are surprised that i came to you but i wanted to invite you to my mother's modelling company. we are or better still my mom is about to select new models that will go and assist the runway fashionistas".

"What are we to do there sally,we are not models as far as we know" the blond one says.

What a surprise, they know my name and i don't know theirs " I thought it will be nice to be among the guest watching the new clothing lines live" .

"oh sally,of course that will be nice, i know why I wanted to be your friend all these while. You are always kind" one of the burrette answer shocking me. But the other girls look like they are afraid of something, immediately I knew what it was.

" girls...... you don't have to be scared of James because am tired of him and am about to put him in his place,in fact i will do that the next time he tries to humiliate me" i said sternly when deep inside i don't believed a word i said. (I don't know who the delivered that speech because it's definitely not me.

" oh,that will be good, are you sure you can do it?

what am I saying............

i need your number ..............

you know we need to do shopping now, right............

wait...are these your only type of clothes............" the blond kept talking till i cut her blabbery short.

" OK let's go to my house so I can change clothes and car, then we can go shopping" i answered.

And that's how my day went, i don't know what kind of spell was cast on me but i hope it does not wear off anytime soon. KUDOS
