Elsa's Pov 

"Wait a minute. You guys are here. And if all three of you are here, then who's taking care of Petrina?"

As fast as we could, we went back to Peter's. Turns out, Paisley's still busy with her project. And lucky for me, Petrina was still watching her television, safe and sound. I would surely be toasted if Petrina was found in the kitchen!

The middle of second week was a total disaster. First, I overslept and was late for school. Then I realised that my sneakers were not washed on my way to school. And then I brought the wrong book to history class. Can anything get any worst? And it did. In the cafeteria. Again. Man what's up with my luck in the cafeteria?

My friends and I were queuing up for the food until Shelby came into the picture. Let me reintroduce her to you: typically girly, super bossy, sits beside me in math class... oh and did I not mention that she is one of the popular girls in school? Most of the boys in school are just so into her. What do they even see in her? I don't really hate her, it's just I'm not really her 'good friend' and all.

She entered the cafeteria with her two best and only friends, Karen and Mara. They walked closely behind Shelby for the most part, following her anywhere and everywhere like her personal bodyguards. Shelby seemed to be frowning and crossed her arms.

"Ally! Are you really gonna eat that? It's soooo disgusting!" She made a face. Great, now I have a new nickname. Just the way to start my lunch.

"It's none of your concern, Shelby!" Liv snapped behind me.

"Oh please. Act like nothing happened the first day you came."

Does she mean...

"Come on. Haven't you had enough 'attention' already! F.Y.I. I'm supposed to be best at that, you know!"

Thank goodness, she wasn't talking about that!

"Oh, and before I forget," she added, "This is what you get for messing with me."

Before I could react, she extended her legs and collided onto me. I lost my balance, causing me to toss my food tray over. Landed on the ground with a big 'tud', my food made a domino effect, splattering everywhere on the concrete floor. Just before I knew what's coming, I felt something warm got spilled all over me. My skin was burning hot, I felt my ears getting red. Not sure was it because of the warm milk that soaked my entire body, or the feeling of embarrassment as the whole room burst into laughter.

My vision slowly became a blur. I did not lift my head up to look at my friends. All I could focus on was Shelby's evil laughter. I heard someone calling my name, but I ignored. I do not understand. Non of it.

Why is she doing this to me? Why does she hate me so much?

A voice spoke up, distinguished  from the sound of laughter. "Stop it, Shelby! This is between you and me. Leave Elsa and my friends out of it!"

"Seriously, Peter. Now you want to talk? You know what? I don't feel like talking anymore. Toddles, losers!" She waved back, while I was left clueless on the ground. I could have sworn I saw the smirk on her face when she and her friends left.

An arm held me up and said, "Let's get you cleaned up."

It was Liv, escorting me to the restroom with wet towel.

"Liv?" I looked at her.

"Yeah, E?" She replied, dampening the cold towel on my arms.

"What was Shelby and Peter talking about?"

She hesitated. "E. There's something you need to know. But I'll let Peter explain everything to you later."

Getting rid of the milk wasn't easy, but Liv managed to get an over-sized jacket for me to cover it up. I honestly wondered how she got an over-sized jacket in the matter of minutes, but dismissed the question when we met the guys at the stairs. Mike was the first that saw us.

"Are you alright?"

I nodded my head a little. A white lie. I still feel some burns on my skin.

"Elsa, I'm soooo sorry. It was my fault that you had to suffer like this."

Peter took my arms but I jerked away. Nothing can compare to someone being wanted in Mexico, someone who is known as the dangerous creature. Why do I have to live a life of misery?
