Five:

I watched in horror as I received my new Facebook message. The chat bar popped on the screen, and my whole body began to sweat out of all those mixed emotions tumbling inside me.

Carly Duncan: Bree what's this picture? Why did you send it to me?

Yeah, Bree, my inner voice murmured, Why did you send it to her?

The good thing was that she apparently didn't recognize that the picture was a Wattpad profile. And looks like she didn't recognize that it was Michael's either - hopefully.

But I still had a ton of explanations to provide, and my inspiration was pretty limited at this very moment.

What could I say anyway?

My fingers flew over the keyboard in sonic speed, typing and typing and deleting and typing again.

I eventually managed to master the most plausible explanation and pressed the send button.

My stomach was tied in knots as I re-read the message I sent to Carly.

Sorry Carly. I sent it to you by accident. It's just a picture a friend showed me and yeah.. you can delete it cause it's nothing.

Way to go, Bree, my inner voice chided again. Nothing suspicious here.

Her reply came faster this time.

Carly Duncan: ok... but who is that @MichaelL99?

Damn. Why was she so curious?

Okay, Bree, think. You made this mistake now fix it.

Wait a second.

Maybe I could use this screenshot thing to go my way.

The strangest idea flashed into my mind. My heart thumped with adrenaline as the pulse in my veins increased.

Hmmm... Could it work?

Me: okay fine. It's actually a screenshot a friend sent to me. She also got it from a friend of hers.. she thinks it's Michael Langwood's profile on Wattpad but she doesn't know for sure. But I heard that whoever took the screenshot will post it on the school's blogs tonight.

I was so glad I was telling her these things via Facebook texts. If we were face to face, my non-existent poker face would've given me away by now.

Carly Duncan: omg are you serious?? :o

Me: yep. Guess we'll know more when the post is up.

She saw my message but didn't reply further.

My heart was still in my throat but my body began its slowly relaxation process.

I really hoped I'd made the right decision, turning the attention toward the blog.

I was out of my mind. I'll give you this.

But it seemed like a good (nevertheless crazy) idea at first. Fingers crossed that it'd work.

Now, let's get this plan going.

I logged out of Facebook from my computer and entered the Eagle High's website. I opened the section with all the current blogs. Dozens of pictures with kittens appeared on the screen, and I gotta say, for the first time I understood what Mr. Brunner had been talking about.

Maybe cats were cute, but seeing so many pictures with them on a highschool's website... Well, it looked like something a five-year-old girl would post.

But that was due to change.

I clicked on the New blog button on the upper corner of the site. A whole new page opened, the blank space waiting for me to fill it with interesting words.

I placed my fingers onto the keyboard and started writing. My surroundings were blurred, my ears shut as all of my concentration was now centered toward the blog.

Make it interesting, my inner self encouraged.

After about ten minutes of writing and three more of re-reading, my blog was done. The text was in place, grammar and spelling in order. And the content... Well, my lips curved into a full toothy smile at its sight.

A warm feeling travelled through my body. Bad idea or not, it didn't matter anymore. Because I knew that this was far the most interesting thing I'd ever posted.

I withdrew a shaky breath and pressed the Post button.

It was done. I refreshed the first page of the website and my blog was the first one to appear on the screen.

Hello! I have a new blog for you. I thought I'd spice it up a little tonight and so I prepared a little gossip subject.

Yes, the spotlight is now turned to seventeen year-old Michael Langwood (I'm sure you all know him already), who apparently has a creative side to him we didn't know about. It has been recently discovered that he has a Wattpad account. And that's not all. He has a book published too! A teen fiction, for that matter.

(That reminded me. I had yet needed to read his book.)

Girls, if you are even more infatued in him after reading this, I don't blame you. He is definitely quite a catch!

If you don't believe me, I personally added a picture of his profile below.

If you have a Wattpad account yourselves, don't forget to follow him. I'm sure he'll appreciate it ;)

Well this is all for now. Thank you for reading.

As always, I let my blog anonymous. All the other bloggers did it, and so did I. It was more for security reasons. Only the principal and the Literature teacher knew all the bloggers' names.

If people knew I was a blogger on the school's website, I'd probably be looked at in a totally different light. And that was the sole purpose of being anonymous. Not being looked at differently. As far as everyone was concerned, I was just the plain old Bree. You got was you saw, and nothing more.

I closed the site and turned off my computer. I heaved a loud sigh. A strange feeling of guilt settled over me.

Quite frankly, I felt kind of bad for mentioning Michael's name just like that. If I happened to write something about a person in my blogs, I would put them as anonymous, too, so I would avoid conflicts. But now, I was as direct as ever.

And if it weren't for the ultimatum Mr. Brunner had given me, I probably never would've posted something like this on the blog. I would've kept using the screenshot as leverage so Michael kept treating people nice. That had been my initial plan.

But I needed to keep blogging.

And yes, it felt good to write something interesting for a change. But I couldn't deny the fact that I was also exposing his secret. And despite all the stupid jokes he'd made about myself, I still felt a little bit guilty.

He won't know it was you who posted it, the voice from my mind reminded me. Plus, he deserves it. He's a jerk.

Harsh words, but it was true. He needed to learn his lesson and not mess with nerds. Because as it turns out, they might have a few nerdy aces inside their sleeves.

I got up from my chair, feeling tingles running up and down my numb legs.

I forced them to move back to my bed where I sat down and dressed into my pajamas.

I stiffled a yawn. I could feel my eyelids closing over my eyes.

Maybe I should go to sleep.

Tomorrow was going to be a long day. A day in which I might get to keep my post as a blogger. A day Mr. Brunner would realize that I was in fact able of posting something interesting on the blog.

But what I didn't know yet, was that tomorrow was also going to be the day all hell breaks lose into Eagle High.
