Anna's pov:
I stand... speechless as I behold myself in the mirror. It's been so long since I felt beautiful. I mean, up on till this point, I've always tried making myself look disgusting and repulsive. But here I am... actually looking good. And strangely...in a uniform.

As I wondered at the being the mirror reflected, Sarah abruptly bursts in. “ Whoa!” she exclaimed. “ You look good,” She complimented.

“ I don't know,” I dragged my collar uncomfortably.

“ You're one of those people who can pull of uniforms. That's a gift you know,” She said. And she wasn't wrong actually. But I'm scared. I really do not want anyone approaching me...or ever. Which will be hard because I look so effortlessly good.

I quickly rushed out of the stall. A weight of a pass mistake suddenly weighing heavily on me. My chest felt heavy. I couldn't breathe. I hate when this happens. I needed to breathe.

Sarah followed closely behind. I fear she caught me emotionally off guard.

“ Oooh! I can't wait for the entire class to meet you,” She said cheerfully.

“ Yeah. I can't wait to end...I mean meet everyone,” I said, hiding my real motive.

I glance down at my leather boots that reached my knee. As much as I didn't want anyone noticing me; I was still self aware. And I hated it. I really wanted all the emotions in me.... dead.

But surprisingly...even after I tried to look dirty...I ended up looking pretty neat and I looked like a normal human being. Ugh!

“ And don't worry; I'll be your guide through out the school year. Even though you don't want to,” Sarah said in a friendly tone that made me feel bad for thwarting her plans to make me her friend. She knew and understood me rather quickly. But unfortunately....my heart's closed for business.

“ Thanks,” I felt the pang of my actions. This is turning out to be unusual. And I hate every bit of it.

“ It's almost time for school to fully begin,” She alerted me. “ I have to show you to your dad and maybe fix a few things about your hair, make up...and that un- demure facial expression of yours,”  She said as she moved her hand in the circular motion that took in my body.

Oh no! She was going to show me to my dad. Now, he's gonna have that smug look on his face. Ugh! He's gonna think he's won. Thanks a lot school!

She giggled as she moved euphorically. I thought she said it was an act? With folded arms, I reluctantly follow after her.

Walking pass the hallway that seemed to be getting crowded as official opening hours drew close, we went to get dad's office....the principal's office. It's just the first day and I'm already heading to the principal's office. It might not be for an illegal matter....buuuuuut!it would be an office throwback when I'm getting kicked out of school next week....yeah...I plan on getting outta here that fast. I'm thinking of getting home schooled... that's less socialization right?

Sarah was so happy I could feel it radiating of her. Which is weird and completely should not be possible?

She twist the knob and pushes the door open. The white door with “ The principal's office ” label on it opens and reveals a chubby angry man that reminds me of the nutty professor....but white. Like he is literally in the same suit as the nutty professor. But, he has an oval face, blue eyes, lips I do not know how to describe, fair skin with rosy cheeks....and he's yelling over the phone.

“ My spanx delivery is still due,” he said...and on my gosh! He fidgeted as he saw us and whispered: “ I need those Spanx now,” He said in a low tone...still aggressive....still shameful.

“ Sarah!,” He called in a light hearted cheerful tone as he drops his phone and smiles at us.

“ Dad,” She starts. “ This is Anna Kendrick, the coach's daughter,” She introduced. I did what any good girl would do and I faked and smile and waved innocently. And I did that sooooo that when I start commiting my crimes... he's gonna go... “ You have always been so polite and innocent...what happened to you?”  and then I tell him I'm gonna marry his boyfriend! Actually....scratch that...that came out of nowhere!

“ You're Kendrick's daughter?,” He asked.

“ That is what is she just said,” I muttered.

“ What was that?,” he asked with a smile..

“ I said yes! I am his daughter,” I faked a grin and shaked his hand.

“ I have heard so much about you from your father. And it is an honor to have you in this prestigious establishment,” He said genuinely. Now I kinda feel bad for thinking about damaging his car tires.

“ The honor is mine,” I said as an unwanted feeling crept up my chest... making me remember that I do not! Deserve any kind of sympathy or praise from a person. It's better if I were invisible. That's it.... I'm getting home schooled.

“ You know, your father and I have been playing for months on how to set you two up,” He said with a smile that his fat cheeks wouldn't allow to be widened...what did he just say? Set up?!

I noticed the smile on Sarah's face slowly faded as she processes the new info she just got.

“ He said you were a difficult one when It came to making friends,” he said. “ And everyone sort of avoids Sarah because she's the principal's daughter....and she's a journalist,” he added.

“ The principal thing I understand. But not the journalist,” I said. Cuz...why?

Sarah groaned and rolled her eyes...her hands on her hips seemed to have tensed.

“ They think if they get to close and they tell me secrets, I'll tell them to my dad. Aka the principal,” She said without emotion.

“ Oh! That makes sense,” I admitted. And she gave me this really look.

“ Anyways, it's a pleasure to meet you miss Anna. I know you'll be among our top students”

I smiled inwardly because only I know what terrors I was about to unleash on this expensive looking school- Thank you lord for insurance!

“ Now chop! chop! You wouldn't want to miss the assembly,” he said cheerfully.

With a sad, defeated look, Sarah moved sluggishly out of her dad's office and I hurried after her. She really looks bummed out. But what do I care? She's not my friend. And she'll never be.

💋💋💋💋

A few minutes later after I've gotten my books...the bell for the assembly rang. It was really time for me to meet the rest of the rich kids...and maybe pull my first diabolical stunt!
