Chapter 17
I sat at the lunch table on the Monday after the sleepover. In truth, I was still exhausted. I suppose getting only two hours of sleep one night really does something to you. Either that or it was just that Mondays sucked.
I'd gotten up early and ran with the cross country team for the first time today, though. I found myself easily keeping pace with everyone else, and I was even faster than some other. I suppose my muscles still remembered what they were supposed to do, even after all this time.
I still didn't let go of Jaxon's hand though, and I was panting once we had completed the route. I wasn't the only one either. Everyone seemed exhausted, and we didn't go all that fast. I was mainly tired from all the nervous energy I built up.
Now I was practically falling asleep on my turkey sandwich. I wasn't all that hungry anyways. As I tried to rest in this impossibly loud cafeteria, I tried to make out all the different sounds. I heard voices, sure, but also the sound of shoes, the smell of too much perfume and not enough deodorant. And most terrifyingly of all, the clink of heels as the cafeteria fell silent.
"Hey Ashley." Jordan called her voice it's normal annoying self. Or maybe I was thinking of the person it belonged too.
"How are your loser friends doing?" Marissa asked.
"I would ask the same, but I forgot. You don't have any." I told her, rubbing my temples. I didn't have time for this on a Monday.
"Someone told us you joined the cross country team again." Jordan said.
"Aren't you in cross country?" I asked Jordan. She was a bit more athletic compared to Marissa, although she wouldn't do a thing if it messed up her hair.
"Yeah well-" She started.
"Are these more of your friends?" Jaxon asked, as he slid into his seat next to me.
"Find a new boyfriend Ash?" Marissa asked. "After your last one dumped you for me."
"Did you just do that?" I asked, standing up. "Did she just call me that?"
"Only her friends call her Ash." Jaxon said, his voice on the edge of laughter.
"In what universe are you living in, bitch, that you think that we're friends!" I growled.
"We're not." Jordan clarified.
"Then why did you call me that?"
"The Queens need to entertain their people." She replied.
"Then let's start a revolution." I then turned to my friends and gestured for them to stand up. I heard feet moving and I suppose they did. "I'm tired of your shit and I think everyone else is too."
"That's not true. Everyone loves us." Marissa snapped. After that comment it went dead quiet. I'm pretty sure you could have heard a pen drop... from across the school.
"I don't think I've ever heard a bigger lie." I growled.
"I don't think we need a drama show." Another voice said. I hadn't realized it, but someone else had come into the cafeteria. The overwhelming scent of Violet's hit me before anything else. Ms Martin had arrived.
"I'm sorry Ms-" Jordan started.
"I don't care." She snapped. "Anyone who is standing up now has a detention."
I felt myself smile, despite the fact I now had to sacrifice a few hours after school. The two queen bitches had finally gotten a punishment. And in someway that made me feel good. I smiled as I tried to imagine me and my friends standing together facing these two. Only that turned my smile into a scowl.
I had no idea what any of us looked like right now. All I saw was darkness. I sighed and sat down and let my mind run through all the possible images of my friends. Where they tall or short? What color was their hair? All I knew for certain was, I was going to figure it out, one way or another.
