Friday, October 20

I'm late for my first period class! I only got five minutes to go up the stairs, go to my locker and go inside my classroom. Considering that my locker is on the 2nd floor and my classroom is on the 4th, that's a huge challenge! If I don't make it on time, I have to stay an extra hour after school and of course, why do I want that?!

~At the locker~

Alright, I got everything! Now, I have to go on the fourth floor and make sure I'm not-

Emily: "Heather, what's wrong?"

Heather: "I'm late for class! And I'm guessing you are as well?!"

Emily: "We're not late for class, Heath..."

Heather: "Yes, we are! If we move now, we're not going to be!"

Emily: "Don't you remember? We have an assembly at 8:30 so, we're not going to our first period class today...?"

Of course... I'm such an idiot... I used mostly of my energy for nothing... I'm so mad with myself ( ；'Д｀)

Emily: "Well, since you're already here... Wanna go to the library with me? Christopher is waiting for me there."

Heather: "Sure, why not!"

Emily: "Okay then."

Heather: "Wait, can I ask you something before we go?"

Emily: "What is it Heath?"

Heather: "Sorry if it's kind of personal but..."

Emily: "Go on. We're like best friends after all!"

Heather: "So like, how's your relationship with Christopher? Are you guys dating now or something..."

Emily: "I'm not totally sure... We didn't give ourselves an official title that we're together..." *shy face*

Heather: "I see... Well, I hope you guys will be..."

Emily: "You think so..?"

Heather: "Of course! Christily wouldn't exist if I didn't think so!"

Emily: "Well... Thanks..."

Heather: "You have feelings for him too?"

Emily: "Since the day we met... I'm really glad we had a date! I was so happy at the time when he asked me..."

Heather: "That's cute of you!"

Emily: "Stop it... Oh! C'mon already! We don't want Christopher to wait for us longer!"

Heather: "Oops... Sorry..."

~At second period class (Gym)~

Ms. Jennifer: "Okay class! This week we're playing dodgeball!

Heather: "Yes!"

Krystal: "You like dodgeball?"

Krystal Kathy Raymond is a new kid in our school that just moved to this city only three days ago... She was a shy person, so I became friends with her.

Heather: "Yeah, I like playing it! You don't?"

Krystal: "No! Especially the guys throw their hardest without caring who they're throwing at! Especially, with the girls!"

Heather: "You're going to be fine! If we're in the same team I'll protect you!"

Krystal: "You don't have to... Just do your best and I'll be happy!"

Heather: "But, I don't want you to get hu-"

Russell: "Ariel!!"

Heather: "Russell!"

Russell came running towards us being very excited since, he loves gym class.

Heather: "What's up?"

Russell: "The teacher made me one of the team captain so, I can chose my teammates! Since you're good at dodgeball, wanna be with me?"

Heather: "Sure! Can Krystal be with us too?"

Russell: "Who now?"

Heather: "Krystal Raymond, can she be in our team?"

Russell: "Um... Yeah.... Sure.... I have to go find more people now alright?"

Why is he acting that way about Krystal? Did he judged her right away? That doesn't seem right...

Krystal: "I'll go drink water before we play alright?"

Heather: "Sure! Take your time now."

While I was waiting for Krystal to come back, Russell swoon in quickly to me for some reason.

Heather: "Hey! What's wrong with y-"

Russell: "Let's talk in the storage room alright?"

Heather: "Bu-"

Without even completing my sentence, he grabbed my hand and dragged me all the way to the storage room. Now, it's dark and it's only me and him in this room... Creepy...

Heather: "Don't be so rough at my hand!"

Russell: "I'm sorry! I didn't mean-"

Heather: "It's okay... So, what did you wanted to discuss?"

Russell: "Krystal!"

Heather: "What about her?"

Russell: "We went at the same elementary school last year and-"

Heather: "Oh. So guys were friends?"

Russell: "You could say that. Anyway-"

Heather: "If she was your friend, why are you acting this way?"

Russell: "If you don't keep on interrupting me, then you'll get your answer!"

Heather: "Sorry! Jeez..."

Russell: "To put it briefly, we were kind of best friends and then she had feelings for me and-"

Heather: "SHE HAD FEELINGS FOR YOU?!"

Russell: "Sshhhh! You don't anyone to hear us do you!"

Heather: "I'm sorry... Again."

Russell: "She had feelings for me and she confessed to me. I told her I don't feel the same way and now... We're awkward to each other after that..."

Heather: "That's why you're acting that way?"

Russell: "Now, it's awkward and annoying, because she's still chasing me! I'm really sure she came to this school because, she wants me to be her's!"

Heather: "That's a rough situation..."

Russell: "Tell me about it! That's why I was acting weird when you said about Krystal..."

Heather: "Don't worry! I'll try my best to protect you from her!"

Russell: "Good luck with th-"

Krystal: "Russell-boo! It's been awhile since I saw you! You're more cuter then ever!"

Russell: "Gotta go! Sorry, Heather!"

Heather: "Have a nice warm-up with her!"

Russell: "Oh, shut up!!"

~At the fifteen minute break (Library)~

Russell: "I'm hating this school even more now..."

Christopher: "C'mon bro, she couldn't be that bad! ... Right?"

Heather: "No. She's that bad, I've seen how she acted with Russell!"

Emily: "Since her only friend is you, Heather, she's going to hang out with us from now! If she really is the person you and Russell described, I don't want her to be around us... I'm sorry!"

Christopher: "I agree! She might cause all of us some problems! Russell, especially."

Heather: "Alright... I'll find a way..."

Christopher: "I have to go now, third period class is going to start and I don't want to be late."

Heather: "All of us have to go now since we don't want to be late either!"

Emily: "Let's move then."

~Third Period Class (French)~

Ms. LaRoche: "Today, you will be working on your pronunciation of words and phrases in French! Team up in group of two and you're all set!"

Russell: "Can you be with me? Please? I don't know anyone else then you!"

Heather: "Umm... Krystal's here...?"

Russell: "You know already why I don't want to be near her alright?"

Heather: "I'm just kidding! C'mon, cheer up!

Krystal: "Hey, Heather... Are you with Russell?"

Heather: "Yeah... Sorry."

Krystal: "It's fine... I guess."

Heather: "Don't make a face like that! Try to make other friends then me. Can you do that?"

Krystal: "Alright... See you after class then!"

~An hour and fifteen minutes later~

Russell: "Comment est votre journée aujourd'hui?"

Heather: "Vraiment pas intéressant..."

Russell: "I have enough with French..."

Heather: "What can you do? We're in Canada, we need this..."

*Bell rings*

I was packing my things so I can go to the cafeteria as fast as I can when suddenly...

Krystal: "Heather!"

Heather: "Hey, what's up?"

Krystal: "I followed your advice and I made a friend!"

Heather: "Cool! Who is it?"

~At Lunch Time~

Emily: "IVY PRESTON?!?!?!?!"

Christopher: "Hey! Those to words are disrespectful in front of our food!"

Emily: "Shut up, Christopher. Really?! Ivy Preston?!"

Heather: "She picked the worst first friend ever! I feel bad for her!"

Russell: "Oh, Krystal..."

Heather: "It's not her fault. She doesn't know anyone here besides, Russell!"

Christopher: "You're right... It's not her fault... We have to warn her!"

Heather: "I'll warn her since I'm her other only friend."

Emily: "There's your chance..."

As I turned around, Krystal was already so close to my face, it was almost like we were two inches apart...

Krystal: "Hello!!"

Heather: "Hey... What's going on?"

Krystal: "I really like Ivy as a friend, she's really nice!"

Heather: "Yeah... About that..."

Krystal: "Huh...?"

Heather: "I think it's not a good idea you're friends with her..."

Krystal: "Why you say that?"

Heather: "She was mean to all of us. Mostly me..."

Krystal: "Why is that?"

Heather: "I don't want to talk about it..."

Krystal: "Alright... I'll be careful with her okay?"

Heather: "I'm glad... Thank you."

Krystal: "I have to go somewhere now. So, see you guys later!"

Heather: "Bye!"

*Krystal left the room*

Emily: "I don't trust her about this..."

Christopher: "Why?"

Emily: "I mean... Ivy has everything a girl wants to be: popular, pretty, loved by everyone... I mean, don't you think Ivy's going to take advantage of Krystal being her friend?"

Russell: "Advantage...?"

Christopher: "Yeah. You know... Someone to do her dirty work."

Heather: "I can't let Ivy do that! She's new here!"

Emily: "Maybe that makes Ivy's future plan even better? She's new and she doesn't know anything about who's good and who's bad in this school!"

Heather: "All right! I'm following her! Emily, you're coming with me!"

Emily: "If I'm going to see you fighting with Ivy again, I want to be VIP!"

Heather: *sighs*

~At the front of the school~

Heather: "Okay, she's here. Be quiet, I want to know what they're talking about!"

Krystal was hanging out with Ivy and her popular friends outside. I feel bad for her already...

Emily: "Try listening to what they're saying!"

Heather: "Alright! Sheesh!"

~The Girls' conversation~

Ivy: "It's so good to see you! How long as it been? 3rd grade?"

Krystal: "Yeah, it's been so long! I missed you soo much Ivy!"

Ivy: "Look, Krystal... Why did you approach Heather? You know how I feel about her right? I told you like a million times in our text messages!"

Krystal: "I know... I just wanted to see how much of non-sense girl she is!"

~With Heather and Emily~

Emily: "THEY WERE ELEMENTARY SCHOOL FRIENDS?!"

Heather: "Ssshhhh! Be quiet! Yeah, it seems that way. She lied to our faces didn't she?"

Emily: "Ugghh..."

~Back with the Girls' conversation~

Ivy: "So, what you think about her?"

Krystal: "I thought that you were wrong for a second, but then I found out that she is good friends with my Russell and you're totally right, she's a piece of crap!"

Ivy: "I know right? Hahaha, that's why I love you! Speaking of Russell, how's it between you and him?"

Krystal: "Horrible! Now, that Heather is stuck with Russell like glue, there's no way he notices me!"

Ivy: "Don't worry girl, I'm going to help you! She doesn't deserve your Russell hm?"

Krystal: "I love you, Ivy! That's why your my bestest friend ever!"

Ivy: "Anything for my bestie!"

~Back at the Cafeteria~

Heather: "My school life is ruined!!"

Emily: "No, it's not..."

Heather: "IT'S NOT?!?! I, now have three people against me! That wants to destroy my reputation and my life! Face if Emily, IT IS!!"

Russell: "What now? Now that you uncover the truth about Krystal, how you're going to act around her?! She's going to act like a hypocrite to you and if you act differently, she's going to see it!"

Heather: "I hope I don't have last period with her! It's going to be torture!"

Christopher: "We're going to be in the same class, I'm going to keep my eye on you alright?"

Heather: "Thanks, I guess..."

Emily: "Good luck, to both of you!"

Heather: "I'll need better then luck..."

Russell: "See you after school, Ariel!"

Heather: "Okay, bye!"

Me and Christopher were going up the stairs to our classroom then he asked a question that I thought nobody would notice.

Christopher: "Wait. Did Russell call you Ariel?! That's your second name! Why he's calling you from your second name?!"

Heather: "Long story..."

Christopher: "Is he trying to make you feel special?"

Heather: "Maybe..."

Christopher: "He's on to you man!"

Heather: "What?!"

Christopher: "He likes you! Isn't obvious?!"

Heather: "Shut up! No-one ever liked me before so, it's impossible!"

Christopher: "Stop denying it! I'm really sure deep down you know he does!"

Heather: "This conversation is over!"

Christopher: "Don't do that to me, Williams!"

Heather: "Oh yeah? I just did, Richardson!"

~After School~

Emily: "So, was she in your class?"

Heather: "Luckily, no. Thank god!"

Emily: "Alex? Ivy?"

Heather: "Not them either. Thank god again!"

Emily: "That's great! I'm happy for you!"

Heather: "Emy...?"

Emily: "What's wrong?"

Heather: "I really want to confront Krystal about she said about me! I can't believe she lied to me and say I'm piece of crap!"

Emily: "Heather, I know you. You're probably going to be so angry towards her that, you're going to crack her nose or whatever and then maybe get suspended this time!"

Heather: "I- You're right... So, what am I suppose to do?"

Emily: "Ignore her as long as you can. That's the only possibility that you can do."

Heather: "I guess you're right. Alright, where you going now?"

Emily: "I'm going to hang out with Christopher at the burger place and you?"

Heather: "I'm going to walk with Russell today..."

Emily: "Cute!"

Heather: "Cute?"

Emily: "It's just you and Russell became so close and before you hated him so much!"

Heather: "Yeah... Weird isn't it?"

Emily: "Well then, have fun!"

Heather: "See you on Monday!"

~In the front of the school~

Russell: "You're ready?"

Heather: "Yeah!"

Russell: "Alright, let's go."

Krystal: "RUSSELL-BOO!!"

Heather: "Krystal?!"

God dammit! Why does she have to come here?!

Russell: "What you want Krystal?"

Krystal: "Can I join you guys on your way home?"

Heather: "HELL NO!!"

That's what I would've said. But, being the 'nice' and 'sweet' person I am, I actually said...

Heather: "WHY?!"

Krystal: "What's wrong with that? Friends do that with their friends am I right?"

Russell was looking at me with a serious facing trying to say, "Calm down before she becomes suspicious!" I just can't control myself about what I heard from her mouth! I just want to punch that brat on her face!

Russell: "Heather is not feeling very good, so she need me to bring her home as soon as possible. Maybe next time Krystal, alright?"

Krystal: "But, it will be more faster if you have another person helping her, right?"

Russell: "I'll be fine. Just take care of yourself on your way home for me alright?"

I can tell she was upset that Russell doesn't want her help. I'm really sure in her head she's like, "This b*tch needs to die for stealing my man!!" or something like that. But, I'm glad Russell came up with a excuse for her not to come with us on the spot.

Krystal: "Anything for you, Russell-boo..."

Russell: "Don't call me that! It's so childish and embarrassing!"

Krystal: "Fine... I'm going home now... Bye, you two."

Russell: "Bye."

~Milenario Street~

Heather: "Thanks for not letting her walk with us..."

Russell: "I know. You're going to get jealous with me giving her all the attention when we're all walking together."

Heather: "Jealous?!"

Russell: "You know she likes me right?"

Heather: "I know she does! But, like I care you give her all the attention when she's walking with us."

Russell: "You're lying."

Heather: "I'm not!"

Russell: "I've been observing you for awhile and I notice when you're nervous or lying, you look down at the ground and play with fingertips."

What he said is true. When I'm lying and nervous, I just stare at the ground and play with my fingers. I thought I'll get away with lying since, no one notices my 'when I'm lying' action I do when I'm actually feeling nervous and when I'm not saying the truth. He really pays attention to me huh?

Heather: "You idiot..."

Russell: "Hahaha... I'm sorry... But is it what I said was true?"

Heather: "None of your business!"

Russell: "Okay... Sorry... Ariel."

Heather: "It's okay."

Russell: "I want to make you a promise."

Heather: "Promise..?"

Russell: "I promise to protect from all the people that wants to hurt you!"

Heather: "That wouldn't necessa-"

Russell: "Please! I feel bad for that those three people are against you! That's the least I can do..."

Heather: "Okay. Your promise is to try to protect me from all of them alright?"

Russell: "Thank you!"

After he said that he hugged me! He really cared for me... I'm really sure it's for a brotherly figure and not for a boyfriend figure or anything... Right? I hugged him back so his hug will feel more complete.

Heather: "My home is close-by okay?"

Russell: "Are you sure you will be alright?"

Heather: "Yup! Thanks! Come by at the weekend if you want alright?"

Russell: "My pleasure! Bye, Miss Ariel."

I blushed furiously when he put 'Miss' after Ariel. I don't know, it just sounds more special like that.

After entering the front door, my parents were waiting for me already...

Kate (Mom): "Heather... Are you sure Russell isn't your boyfriend?"

Heather: "What?! Yes, I'm sure mom! We're just like, best friends. That's all!"

Richard (Dad): "We just saw you two hugging and that looked very suspicious!"

Heather: "It's not a big deal! Friends hug all the time!"

Kate (Mom): "Don't deny it, Heather and it's alright, we like this Russell guy. He seems to be boyfriend material!"

Heather: "Stop it, Mom!!"
