So this story is about 2 girls and their middle school life. Here is the first chapter and I really hope you enjoy!

CHAPTER ONE: Running Late

Selena White- I always hated waking up to the sound of Mom yelling in my ear, "The bus is almost here!" With the things that just happened last night, I couldn't bear the yelling the next morning. So I got up early.

I am never motivated in the morning, but this time I was ready to get to school as early as I could. I was so eager to see everyone there, but I also wanted to stay away from everyone I saw. Especially Rebecca Reffler.

Good ol' Rebecca Reffler pretty much ruined my life. With her choppy layers in her short, blonde hair and her thick, smeared eyeliner, she could very easily think she was better than everyone she saw. But I knew that she was really just as important as hot chocolate in the summer. I'm sure everyone in the Posner Middle School has realized that we could all do without her in our lives.

Now, you're probably wondering what she did to make my life so miserable? Everything. She humiliated me in front of the love of my life, Jake Anderson, and my best friend, Riley Deason. She also is the most hated person in school. Rebecca Reffley was someone I did not want to see for a long time.

So I got in up out of bed and realized that it was already 6:25, but luckily I beat Mom's wake up call by five minutes. So quickly, I got dressed and put my hair up. While walking tiredly down the stairs, mom looked at me, impressed that I was up so early. Of course, just as I am on the last step of the stairs, Kyla just had to show me the new dance she learned in Kindergarten. It was cute, but it seemed to take about 10 minutes, because whenever she did a move wrong, she had to start the song all over again. Finally, Dad picked up Kyla upside down and took her to the kitchen table to eat her Cheerios. I decided to get myself some Cheerios too. I ate them quick though, because I was still very eager to get to school. So I slipped on my sneakers and grabbed my backpack and ran out the door. But right when I walked out, I saw something that stopped me in my tracks. Guess who was on my front porch.

"Let's walk to the bus stop together," says a girl with blonde hair and smeared eyeliner.

I could not believe Rebecca was right there in front of me. She was smiling her 'I'm so innocent' smile. I wanted so badly to tell her how much I hated her, and I wanted to punch her in the face. But the only word that escaped my mouth was, "Sure," and instead of leaving a mark on her face, I started walking with her towards the bus stop.

We didn't talk much at first, but then, of course, Rebecca started to talk about guys.

"So I heard you like Jake." I looked at her wide eyed. Nobody knew I liked Jake except for Riley.

"How... Uhmmm.." I decided to make it sound like I didn't like him. "Who told you that?

"Riley did. She told like everyone." I stared at her in disbelief. I knew Rebecca well, she would lie about anything. But would she be so mean to lie about the things Riley told her? I didn't want to believe her. After she realized that I was thinking and not answering, she started talking some more.

"I know Riley is your best friend, so I'm sure she wasn't lying when she told me." I looked at her and she was grinning. I still couldn't tell if she was telling the truth or not.

"Selena? Do you like Jake?" The next word that came out of my mouth leaped out without warning. After it happened, I prayed to God that I could go back in time and change that last second. It was the simplest word that could change my life.

"Yeah." I knew she would tell him. She told everyone's secrets. But even though everyone knew this, she still somehow knew everything.

"Did Riley... Really tell you?" Rebecca put a gentle hand on my shoulder.

"Darling, she tells everyone." I could not believe this. Rebecca was comforting me because my best friend had betrayed me. And I actually trusted her. She was actually being kind to me. And I could not believe myself thinking that I wanted to be her friend again.

We finally got to the bus stop, where Rebecca met up with Holly Jeffs, who was a little nicer and wore less makeup than Rebecca. She waved to me with a cute smile and walked away. And that was when I saw Riley. She was about a block away from the bus, and before she could catch up to me, I hopped on the bus and tried to find someone to sit next to. Rebecca was sitting next to Holly, so I couldn't sit with them. Dana was the next choice, but she was with Landon, and were they... Holding hands? My 3rd choice was Tell "Tippy" Price (everyone called him Tippy because he was short, and looked like a little kid), but of course he was saving his spot for Riley, who he had a major crush on. I let him save the spot so Riley could suffer with him the whole bus ride. Finally, I saw the last and worst place to sit on the bus, next to Sam Kayen, the most perverted kid I knew. I asked him if I could sit there, and he said, "Only if you have the balls." I rolled my eyes and sat down, and that was when Riley entered the bus...

Riley Deason- This morning I woke up later then usually since my alarm did not go off. I forgot to set since I was so caught up in what happened last night. It was all because of Rebecca Reffler, everyone hated her, even who she thought was her best friend, Kara Thorns. I started rushing everything to make it to the bus. I quickly grabbed my cereal and my ten dollars for lunch. I went upstairs in the bathroom brushed my hair and teeth then stumbled down the stairs. I dusted my shirt and got up. Then I grabbed my phone realizing someone texted me. It was one of my good friends Dana. I opened the message and just those four words ruined my life.

I looked again reading it closer this time, but the words did not change. I was so stunned I could barely hold on to my phone. I wanted to smash something, thoughts were racing in my mind trying tell me it was not true, but suddenly my older sister Chela interrupted me. I looked around again and down I saw the time and it was exactly seven in the morning. My sister motioned me to the door telling me to go to the bus. I really did not want to because of Dana, but I had to. When I left I felt like I forgot something, but I could not remember and I could not risk missing the bus and being late again.

I ran outside in my favorite t-shirt that had poke-a-dots on it and and my skinny jeans with rips on the side. My hair was thrown up in a sloppy bun. I had no time to get ready so I did not look my best, but it didn't even matter since Landon didn't care anyways.

I also had bloodshot eyes crying from the text message that said "Landon asked me out". Landon Vona was the cutest guy in school. He is a couple of inches taller than me, with brown flipping hair. His eyes are big and brown just like mine. From the start I thought we were perfect with each other. We are so much a like.

We use to be best friends until middle school started and we have been slowly departing from each other. Right now we are at the end of 7th grade and he has gone up in popularity, so now we don't even talk at lunch anymore. I am still trying to get over him. It has been harder then I thought it would be.

When I was running to the bus I saw Tippy, the little kid who had a major crush on me, riding in his red car. Tippy looked like a seven year old who had red curly hair and brown eyes. He also had a lot of freckles and he is a four foot tall seventh grader. I quickly turned around and stopped. I am pretty sure he waved, but I pretended I did not see him.

I kept on sprinting. I saw the bus stop ahead, but unfortunately I saw the evil Rebecca flip her hair as she skipped on the bus. Following her was Selena, probably telling her that she looks like a clown or something with all of her I saw a black jeep with Jake in it. I smiled a flirty smile and waved and he waved back. I started to run a little faster so I could catch up with Selena, but she got on the bus without a second thought. She always waited for me...

I started to run as the bus turned on its engine. I made it just in time. I walked on and said hi to Sally the bus driver. The first thing I saw was Landon and Dana holding hands. Dana was wearing a little more makeup than usual, and I knew why. She usually only wore mascara, but this time her cheeks were pinker and her lips were ready to be kissed. My heart dropped when I saw them. I walked by bent down and whispered in Dana's ear "Backstabber" and I kept on walking. She looked back, but I just ignored her. Then I saw the "Fakes" Rebecca and Holly sitting next to each other. I walked past them as I rolled my eyes. Next I saw the perverted Sam, but strangely next to my best friend Selena.

I asked if he could move, but before I finished my sentence I was cut off by Selena's voice as she was telling Sam a dirty joke. I was confused, but I kept on walking. There was only two more spots next to the jerk Erin Sun and Tippy. I sat next to Erin next to the window, and of course Tippy came up and asked Erin to move. I tried to motion him to say no, but knowing what a jerk he was he gave me a smirk and got out of the seat.

Selena- I tried my hardest to ignore Riley. Why would she tell the meanest girl in the 7th grade who I liked? It made me quake inside. I just pretended to be happy as I told Sam the only dirty joke I knew. Of course, it was one that he had heard a million times.

I looked a couple aisles back and sure enough, Riley was sitting next to Tippy. He was telling her a story that he found very funny, but she didn't seem to be laughing at all. I hate to admit it, but it made me feel better that she was not happy to be sitting with Tippy. But also she seemed depressed. I tried to figure out what she was looking at so sadly, and that was when I remembered that Riley liked Landon. A lot. She had liked him since 4th grade. He had been holding Dana's hand. Were they going out? I wondered. I suddenly felt sorrow for Riley. Maybe she had told one of my biggest secrets to the person I hated the most, but I couldn't see my best friend so sadly like that. Then she looked at me, and realizing how stupid I probably looked watching her with sympathy, I quickly turned around and continued talking to the pervert sitting next to me.

Riley- I sat their staring into a few seats in front of me. The backstabber friend, Dana looked so happy with him. But something inside of me felt like she is jut trying to get payback, for what? Thats when Tippy tapped me on the shoulder and asked me which one I liked more. I did not know what he was talking about so I just said the first one. His face fell flat and looked like he got punched in the stomach. I told him I was not really listening so then he repeated it. He asked if I would go out with him and the choices were "No, Yes, or Maybe" I stared at him shocked by the question he asked out of the blue. So I said I would get back to him on that.

I kept on looking forward wishing that Landon just asked me that, but it was to good to be true. I kept on looking and then I saw Selena. She was looking back at me and we made eye contact. When we did she quickly turned around. I was so confused. I did not know what I did. My life was going down the drain, first Landon, then Tippy, and on top of all of that Selena is ignoring me. What did I do?
