chapter 1
Alone. I slowly walk to the cafeteria, and stand in the entryway. It's filled with screaming, laughing, gossiping kids. I begin to walk between the tables. It's been so long. It only seems like a few days ago that I was in 5th grade. Then I left. I went to Sullivan Elementary. And I moved to Sullivan middle. But now I was back.
Suddenly, I spotted a girl from 5th grade who despised me. Jessalyn Ferris. She screamed when she saw me. One by one, heads turned to look at me. I tried to keep my cool. The cafeteria begin to quiet down. I desperately searched for a seat to sit down, to avoid looking like a loser. Jessalyn could not speak. She could only point at me. Her look-alike best friend JaylnnCooper, scowled when she saw me. Hurriedly I sat down at the table. Fortunately for me, it contained somebody I knew. She was a friend from 5th grade. Well, not a friend. My only friend. Nobody liked me. One day, as an effort to make a joke, I brought a coyote bone to school. I knew some people are probably going to make fun of me as they did on a daily basis. So I scrubbed the bone with water and Dawn soap just so that I could prove it was clean. When I got to school, I was so irritated with people making fun of me saying I brought a chicken bone the school, that I said that at least I wasn't eating it. I've made a fake show of pretending the put it in my mouth. No part of my mouth touched it. But that was what ended it all . Or more like what began it all. And Bella was the only girl he was my friend. Isabella Smith. She stretched when she saw me.
" Don't you ever leave again without telling me, Arianna!" She hugged me.
A silent murmur ran through the cafeteria. It was easy to make out what they were saying.
Oh god, Arianna is back!!
Ew!!
She's gonna kill us!!!
Who's that?
I don't know is she new??
You keep away from her!! She strangled Jaden Burnett!!
I turn to the person who said the last one.
" Hey , sweetie. You see that little kid over there? That's Jaden Burnett. And unless you're blind as well as you are stupid, you can clearly see that he is alive and well. If I had strangled him he wouldn't be here."
A girl just stared at me her mouth agape.
A girl next to her spoke. " I saw you. I was there at recess when you threw him over your back."
" Yes I did throw him over my back." I say , " but you know what else you saw? You saw him grab me by the back of my throat. He got what he deserved. Glad to know you're a backstabber Isabelle Wright." Isabelle wright was a different girl.
" Don't ever use my full name again. " she scowled.
" Well, Isabelle Wright, don't spread rumors about me that aren't true. Or else I'll come after you like I came after Jaden." I wasn't trying to be threatening or anything. But once one rumor goes on people are on a roll. As I sat back down next to Bella, she looked worriedly at me. She seemed hesitant.
"Hey , um, Arianna. I want you to meet my friend, Miranda Schaller." She said, gesturing to a blonde haired girl. The girl had her hair in a boy cut. Just barely to her chin. She was quite small too. She had blue eyes and wore a blue shirt and skinny jeans. I was instantly jealous of her. In the way she hung on Bella, show that she was a lot closer to Bella than I was. I tryed not to show any emotion on my face as I introduced myself. Miranda held on to Bella like her life depended on it. I squinted my eyes. God, that girl was clingy. How did Bella hang out with her?
Well, I thought, I guess Bella needed a friend since I was gone.
It still didn't make me feel any better though.
And I also didn't feel any better when I found out that I had home room all by myself. And Miranda had homeroom with Bella. And apparently homeroom was reading comp and language arts. Which for some stupid reason they divided up into two hours of the day. I only shared three classes with Bella. In one of the classes was only on certain days. I was in coach Bunch PE and she was in coach Flanagan's PE. We had gym for 2 weeks health for 1. So for one week we would all be together. Then for the other two weeks, I would be in health she would be in gym. She would be in health and I would be in gym. That was a class I was stuck in with Miranda. The only other classes I shared with Bella, Miranda was in them too. Social studies, science. And in science, Miranda sat next to Bella. Same for social studies. That made everything worse. I'd figured I'd probably need to get used to it though, as Miranda didn't seem to be de-clining herself from Bella's shoulder. The part that made me jealous the most, was that Miranda probably hogged all the attention. And she was most likely closer to Bella since she'd been around Bella longer. Suddenly, Logan kleekamp ran up to me. The way he shook, I could tell he had been there to come up here to talk to me. " Do you eat dog bones?" He stammered.
I raise my right eyebrow, something I'd learn to do the freak people out. " are you really that stupid Logan? No I don't eat dog bones." I decide to have some fun with him. " but I don't think me chewing on dog bones is going to be your next concern." I did my evil smile. He slowly started backing away. "Um......," he whimpered," Please don't kill me."
" If you don't get out of my face I just might."
Some noisy kids at the surrounding tables gasped. "And that goes for all of you!" I yelled as he ran off. Psycho." I heard someone hiss to their friend. I whipped my head around.
" I can show you the psycho if you'd like me to." I said sweetly.
"No, please don't. " one of the kids whimpered bird in fear. I don't consider myself a bully. But it seemed as if they were all ganging up on me. I was going to show them that I was not to be messed with.
