Alexandra | 6:30 am

I groaned and sat up stretching while yawning. Claire had just left my room saying mom amd dad left. I got out of bed and jumped when my feet hit the cold floor.

Me: Claire! Do we have to go to school today!?

Claire: Yes now get your ass up and take a shower!

I cut on the heat and went into my closet. It was supoosed to be 80 degrees today so I decided on something simple but cute. I laid it on my bed then went into my bathroom.

I put down the curling iron and bounced back into my room while blaring Ice Ice Baby by Vanilla Ice. Dont judge my old school music. I grabbed my bookbag, sports bag, phone and headphones before leaving my room and bouncing down the steps. I sat on the couch and texted Grace until Claire came downstairs. What seemed like an hour later she came down.

Claire: You hungry?

Me: Starving. What's for breakfast?

Claire nodded her head towards the door and I walked out the door while she locked it then met me in her car.

Claire: How's McDonald's?

Me: Perfect.

She started her engine and pulled off.

After a quick McDonald's stop we were pulling up at school around 8:40 which worked great because we had late start today so school started at 9:10 but we had to be in class at 9:05.

I got out and walked into the school with Claire beside me.

Me: You can pick me up after practice. Right?

Claire: Yeah. I promise I'll be there.

Me: Good.

I grinned and we parted ways. I went over to Grace and she went over to her girls and their friends, Dakota included.

Grace: I want some!

She tried to eat some of my pancakes but I bit her finger making her yelp.

Me: My food.

She pouted and looked away making me laugh.

Me: Ugh fine you big baby.

I let her eat off of my fork and we walked towards the cafeteria.

Grace: So what's with you and Dakota?

Me: I think nothing.

She laughed.

Grace: Puh-lease. Your like a unoffical couple whose scared to do anything in public.

We sat at our usual lunch table and I began to eat my breakfast as she began to finish some homework. I copied her but with classwork. So I was multitasking.

Me: Nuh uh.

Grace: Yes huh.

She took another bite of my pancakes.

Me: Why do you ship us so much?

Grace: Because you two would be so cute together!

I shushed her and looked around at some of the students who looked over at us.

Two girls came over to us; Meghan and Ashley. They hated us with a passion ever since 4th grade when Meghan stole my crayins and I cut off her ponytail. Ashley never had a reason to hate us.

Meghan: Ew. Look its the two most unpopular nerds.

Grace: And you think your popular?

Ashley: We know we are.

Me: Then why don't we ever see you sitting at the ramp or have people love you like Claire and them.

I began to cut out a piece of my work.

Meghan: Because that's the definition of fake popular. All those people are fake.

Grace: Girl you have a fake nose. Your the last one to call anyone fake and Ashley your eyes are fake and you forgot to contour a boob.

I went wide eyed while trying to hold in a laugh. I liked Grace's new confidence. It was funny. 

I began to pack up my stuff along with Grace seeing as how we were irritated by dumb and dumber.

Meghan grabbed Grace's hair and pulled it making her yelp.

Me: Leave her alone damn.

Ashley: Awe look who has confidence.

I looked down at the scissors in my hand then smirked.

Me: I'll be back.

Grace looked at me then quickly began to pack up the rest of our stuff. I got up and went around Meghan and Ashley then I walked back and cut off Meghan's ponytail. Again.

Me: Oh my God! I am so sorry. The scissors slipped.

She looked at my scissors then the light brown hair in my hand before screaming and feeling for her once long hair. Making everybody look over here.

Meghan: You bitch! You just cut my hair!

Grace: Run!

I quickly grabbed my unfinished breakfast and bags before faking left and breaking right to get around Ashley. I heard them chasing us. Luckily sports did us well. I spotted Claire with her girls and Dakota and her friends talking on "the ramp"

( A N : Lol I had to. Its from Geek Charming. )

The ramp is a place where only the populars can be. Luckily for us Claire was my sister and Grace was my bestfriend. Plus we were athletes.

Me: Claire!

We ran up on the ramp and I hid behind Claire and Grace hid behind me. Meghan and Ashley stopped just at the bottom of it, knowing they couldn't come up.

Claire: Alex and Grace, what the hell are y'all doing?

Me: Meghan's trying to kill us. Well morely me than her.

Amber: About time someone tries to.

Me: I'll cut your hair off too shuddup.

Dakota: Too?

I held up Meghan's long ponytail and the scissors with a sheepish smile on my face.

Mia: Please tell me that's not Meghan's hair.

Grace: Okay we wont.

Claire: Alexandra!

Me: Im sorry. She began to bully us. Again.

Claire stood up and walked towards a angry Meghan and a out of breath Ashley.

Claire: You like to bully my sister huh.

Me: And Grace!

Claire: And Grace.

Meghan: Your stupid little sister c-

She didnt get to finish her sentence as a loud smack was heard. Indicating Claire had smacked Meghan.

Claire: I dont care about your hair. I care about my sister and her bestfriend. You mess with them and you mess with me. Is that what you want?

Meghan: N-No.

Claire: Good. Don't even try to mess with either one of them or you'll be answering to me. Understand?

Meghan: Yes.

Claire: Good. Now get lost.

Megahn and Ashley quickly scurried away making Grace and I sigh out in relief.

Dakota: So why exactly did you cut off Meghan's hair?

Me: Her and Ashley came up to us and began bullying us. Meghan even pulled Grace's hair.

I sighed and sat beside Dakota as Grace sat beside of Mia.

Amber: Um excuse me. Who said you could stay here and talk?

Grace: Obviously not you.

Amber: Who're you talking to like that? I'll ruin your life and the little social life that you even have.

Ethan: Yo. Amber chill. Leave them alone.

Amber: Im sorry am I the only one who sees a problem with two nerds sitting on the ramp!?

Chad: No. I see it too.

Mia: And nobody cares what either of you think. So cool.

Me: We'll just leave.

Dakota: Nah. You ain't going nowhere.

Amber: And why not? They dont ev-

Claire: Amber if you dont shut up I will make you.

Amber: Whatever. Dakota let's go.

Dakota: Im not going anywhere.

Amber: What? What're you talking about.

Dakota wrapped her arm around my shoulder and opened my pancake container.

Me: Geesh. Dont even ask.

She laughed.

Dakota: Okay I wont.

Amber: Um excuse me! I know you hear me talking to you!

I swear it was like nobody was acknowledging her existance. Dakota and I were talking. Ethan and Grace were talking and Claire and Mia were talking while Chad typed on her phone.

Dakota ate some of my pancakes and I ate some. We finished the entire container then Grace ate my biscuit.

Dakota: Come to my basketball practice.

Me: I cant. I have Soccer practice.

Dakota: Ours is gonna be extended until 7:15. We have a game Friday.

Me: Hm. Makes sense.

Dakota: Coming?

I nodded and pecked her cheek like last night, making her grin where her braces showed.

Me: Yeah I'll be there.

The bell rang and everybody began to go to class.
