six billion souls

what a drag.

Summer had come and gone, just like that. All the fun and parties would have to wait now. It was goodbye summer and hello sophmore year.

"Becca, how long can it take to do your hair?" Lita calls out to her younger sister from outside the bathroom door. She had finished getting ready a long time ago - throwing on a black t-shirt with white graphic designs, black skinny jeans, and a pair of black converse -, it was her sister she was waiting for. The bathroom door opens and the dark haired teen walks out in a dark brown strapless tunic, a pair of leggings, and dark brown boots for the outside coldness.

"It's the first day of school, you have to make a good impression to make yourself known." Lita rolls her eyes and walks downstairs with her sister at her side, "Whatever, like you even need more popularity."

"Is Matt picking you up today?" Rebecca asks, ignoring her sister's last comment. "Yeah, is Jeff coming to pick you up?" Rebecca nods as they both hear a horn honk from outside, "That's him right now, see you later!" She doesn't wait for her sisters respond, she walks out the door and over to her boyfriend.

"Hi honey-" She realizes that there's someone with them and drops her smile, "oh, hi maria." Jeff shots his girlfriend an apoligetic look quickly before he starts the car and she sulks a bit. "Hi rebecca, long time no see." Rebecca smiles fakely at the red head in the backseat, "Yeah, we should start hanging out more." Maria nods in agreement, "Totally! We can go shopping, or to a movie, or girls night out-" Rebecca pretends to listen as Maria drones on and on about how they could make their friendship stronger.

"See you two later!" The ditzy red-head hadn't noticed how Rebecca wasn't listening to her in the car or the tension in the car, she had just kept on talking until they had finally gotten to school. "Bye!" Rebecca's fakes another smile at the red-head before it falls into a scowl as the red-head dissapears into the school. She slams the car door shut behind her, "Rebecca..." she ignores him and keeps on walking as some people who are still at the parking lot stare.

"Becca, baby, it wasn't my idea. Matt was suppoused to drive her today but he ditched to go pick up Lita and I was stuck with her." Much to her relief, she was glad that it hadn't been his idea to drive the red-head to school. "You should have atleast warned me, you know that I don't like Maria." Jeff nods as he casually wraps his arm around her small waist, "I know you don't but you never have to worry about ever driving to school with her again."

"Mickie!" The perky brunette turns around to see her best friend walking towards her, "Becca!" The two hug, "Where's Mel?" Mickie shrugs, "She texted me and told me to meet her at her locker." The trio had exchanged locker numbers to find that they had been placed together this year.

"So, how was your summer?" It's the usual question of the start of any year, what happened during summer? "Nothing much, California was great, I meet some new people, ran into some friends, i'm no longer a virgin-" The brunette stops her friend, "Wait, what did you just say?!" Rebecca shushes her, "Stop screaming! I said i'm not a virgin, and I know that you and Mel aren't either." Mickie struggles to find an explanation, "that is way more different! it's.....I mean.......well I......you're right, how'd you find out?"

"Lets just say, Chris has a big mouth," Mickie scowls as they reach their lockers, "He promised he wouldn't tell. What about Mel, who'd she lose it to?" Rebecca opens her locker, "Johnny, he told me." Mickie opens her own locker, she had her supsicions about the two the day after Rebecca's end of the year party.

"Guys! Sorry I'm late, I was...held up." Melina finally arrives, but a lame excuse in tow, "held up?" Yeah, right. "Really, doing what?" Rebecca coyly asks her best friend as she closes her locker. "Um...you know-" She gets cut off as John Morrison himself walks into the conversation, hugging Rebecca from behind. "Hey honey. Hi, Mickie, Melina." The latina's happiness is sucked out of her as she sees how he greets Rebecca and herself differently

"Hi, Johnny. What happened to the other guys?" John shrugs, "I don't know, you know how they are." The trio laughs as they say goodbye to John and walk to their class.

Lunch thankfully comes soon, Rebecca sits with her friends- including Mickie, Melina, Elizabeth, Torrie Wilson, and Maryse. "Dis classes are so boring, already hatez me, no tanks to you," The French-Canadadian blonde points a finger at Elizabeth. "What? I was just asking you what classes you had," Innoncent reply, as expected.

" is far better, he's always joking around with the guys and is super friendly with the students," Maryse turns her head away from the group to scope out the lunch room, a sign catches her eye.

"So, who iz joining de cheerleading team?" The girls turn their attention to the blonde, "I might," Rebecca pipes up, "Might? No, you are going to!" Typical Mickie James. "I totally wanna try out, it'll be fun!" Torrie squeals as she shows off her pearly whites.

"Me too, I was on the cheer team last year," Melina joins the conversation, "Me too, cheerleading sounds fun," The blonde smiles as she and her friends continue their conversation.

"Quiet down class! do you have anything you want to share with the class?" raises her eyebrow at the blonde talking her dark haired friend.

"No ," The blonde shoots her a fake smile and turns her attention back to the whole class, "All right then, , please hand out the science text books and , please hand out these papers." Cody and Kelly do as they're told as Rebecca inwardly groans with Maryse. Science was sure to be a drag this year.

The final bell rings as the student's walk to their lockers to get their bags from their lockers, others just leave without taking a second glance at their lockers. Rebecca is one of those people, she stays back to wait for her best friends.

meet me outside after ur done.

She flips her hot read sidekick closed and tucks it into her pocket. She smiles as her boyfriend walks over to her and kisses her, "I haven't seen you all day," Rebecca smiles and kisses him again, "Well, I gotta go with Mickie and Melina to the mall, so you won't be seeing me this afternoon either." He groans, "The mall? You choose the mall over your own boyfriend?"

She smirks, "Normally, no, but this is an emergency. We're going to see a movie tonight and we'll be done by then."

"Fine, I gotta go reherase with the band anyway," He smiles and kisses her before walking to the parking lot, leaving his bewildered girlfriend leaning against the school wall.

"Rebecca!" She turns to see Melina and Mickie waving at her, telling her that it was time to go. "Okay, okay!" Rebecca jogs toward her friends and the get into Melina's cherry red porsche. A figure watches as the trio drives away from the school, smirking as she focuses on her former friend.
