Bang! I slammed my locker shut, my morning had been as hectic as hell, I'd slept in and had rushed to get to school on time. 'Probably because someone had kept me up till past four in the morning. ' I thought leaning my head against my locker, I turned to walk towards my next class when I heard someone call behind me
"Oi! Stalker" ' oh great' I turned to see Emmet and Alex running towards me
"What? what do you want?" I said
"Whoa, what's with the pissy mood" Emmet said as they reached me
I looked behind them only to see my group of friends talking among each other, and along with the rest of the people in the corridor, confusion and shock clear on their faces.
"Sorry" I said shooting him an apologetic look "it's just I hate being stared at and talked about, and everyone I looking and talking about me" he turned around to find lots of faces staring at us
"I think you'll find they're just in awe of my sexyness" Alex said grinning as he led me down the corridor with his arm around my shoulders.
We stopped outside the class and Alex took his arms off my shoulder as we walked in, I took my seat just as the the lesson began. The rest if my morning I overheard lots of people making comments about me like "what're they doing with that?" "Do you think they're dating" "God, I so wish I was here" that I hear as I walked into the cafeteria.
"Brooke" said Taylor as she ran up to me in the lunch line "tell me everything."
"What's there to tell?" I said grabbing a sand which from the counter and putting on my tray,
"Well you could start with how you know Alex Walker and how him and all his friends just happen to know you!" She said as she put a salad on her tray and took out her purse to pay for it.
"Well there's nothing to tell-" before I was cut off by Taylor shooting me a glare
"If you don't tell me I'll just ask them" she said pointing at Alex and his friends sitting quiet happily at the popular table,
"I-I-"
"Fine" she said as she started to walk in the direction of the boys. Suddenly the cafeteria when quiet,
"Wait!" I shouted realising that I probably said it a little too loud as everyone looked up from their lunch at me, "wait!" I said again running after Taylor just as she reached the 'populars' table.
"So" I head her say as I neared the table "this will probably sound really stupid, but I've asked Brooke and she won't tell me" she said addressing Alex "how-" I cut her off as I stood in front of her, looking down at the boys,
"Oh Brooke. How nice of us to join us, but your friend here" he said pointing behind me at Taylor "was just going to ask us a question."
"No, I think I might just ask Brooke, sorry to bother you" Taylor piped up from behind me looking around the table at all the populars who were looking at us with bored expressions on their faces. I quickly dragged her away from their table before any of them could argue back and sat Taylor at the table where the rest of our friends were sat.
"Tell us everything" she said before shoving a forkful of pasta into her mouth
"Okay" I said as my friends leaned closer as I began to tell them how I'd come to meet the famous Alex Walker. I'd finished my story by the time the bell went and we began to walk towards our next lesson, I tuned to face Bella and Taylor
"So, you girls want to come to on the weekend?"
"Yes!" Both said squealing and hugging me so tight I could barely breathe, we composed ourselves and walked into the class talking excitedly between ourselves throughout the whole lesson.The rest of my after noon we relatively interesting as I had History and Spanish which were two of my favourite lessons. I walked out of school across the car park to my car when I heard laughter and shouting behind me, I turned around to see the populars sitting and leaning on one car laughing and talking amongst each other. Alex's arm was draped around a girls shoulders and he turned to look straight at me, he whispered something to the girl and started to turn and make his way over to me with the girl, as he turned I soon saw that the girl that he had his arm around wasn't any girl, but it was Cassidy Roberts. Cassidy Roberts was the queen bee of the school, she followed all of the typical stereotypes as she had the looks, the money and the status and on top of that she was also quiet smart, so she literally had everything going for her. I hadn't ever really spoken to Cassidy before but I knew that if you got on the wrong side of her she could make your life a living hell, in school and out. I turned to greet them standing close to my car,
"So" Alex started to say as Cassidy shrugged his arm off her shoulder and crossed her arms against her chest, "Brooke, could to please tell Cass how we know each other?"he said leaning against my car,
"Yeah--" in started to say, but was distracted by the glares being shot at me from Cassidy. "We're just neighbours, nothing----"
"See! Now do you believe me?" Alex asked turning to Cassidy,
"Of course I believe you babe" she said as she lent in a gave him a passionate kiss,
"Sorry," I said as they both pulled away from each other "can I just?" I said pointing at the Alex had been pushed up against,
"Yeah sure" he said moving away and putting his arm back around Cassidy's shoulders, I got in my car and started the engine,
"Bye Brooke" he called as he started to walk back to his group with Cassidy. As soon as they were out of sight I lent back in my seat and let out the breath I didn't realised I'd been holding, I could feel something was wrong and deep down I knew that all the rumours and terrifying stories about her were true. Something told me that soon the Queen Bee would be showing me her true colours.If you've read this far.... thank you!
