„ Hey Joy! Wait up! „ Mara called as she walked next to her good friend, Joy. She never thought that she and Joy could be friends but it looks like that they had a lot of things in common. Joy was really nice, when Mara sat alone at her lunch table, Joy was nice enough to call her to sit with her and her friends. And without knowing it, she became a part of their group. It wasn't the most popular group but to Mara it was just perfect.
„ Hey Mara. What's up? „
„ Uh, lights, something brown on the ceiling, I can't quite put my finger on it. „ Mara said, raising her head.
„ No, Mara, that's just a way to ask: ' What are you going to do? ' or something like that „ Joy chuckled as they approached the table where all of their little group was sitting. Their group consisted of: Fabian Rutter, geeky guy that had a great taste in music and was playing guitar, Patricia Williamson, goth pixie auburn haired girl with tough attitude, Alfie Lewis, 4 words: Clown of the Group, Willow Jenks, Amber's biggest fan and a nature freak, how Populars call it, Mara Jaffray, school nerd, sucks at sports and Joy Mercer just a normal high school girl that loves music.
„ They are coming! Guys, they are coming! „ blonde girl screamed, moving out of the way.
„ Oh no, the bitch and her crew are coming... „ Patricia said, taking a sip of her Coke.
And yeah, Patricia was right, soon Amber, beautiful blonde, showed up. Rest of the populars followed closely behind. Amber flirtatiously winked at some guy who just started at shock.
„ Don't you wish to be just like her? „ Willow sighed dreamily, gazing at Amber who just sat at the table with her friends.
„ A slut who goes around and bitch about people and acts like she's better than everyone? No thanks, I'm good „ Patricia said putting her feet on the table, breaking one of the school rules, but she didn't care, she was a rebel, if you wanted to know.
„ I think that Willow wanted to say that she wanted to be a cool kid, popular even. „ Joy defended Willow. Willow was so naive to see what Amber was really like.
„ Nah, I'm still good. „ Patricia answered. Soon Joy started humming to a song ' Cool Kids ' by Echosmith. She loved that song. Everyone could relate to it at some point.
„ Is that the ' Cool Kids ' song? „ Fabian asked, smiling. Was he reading her mind? Joy blushed. Okay, she liked Fabian. No, screw that, she loved Fabian. He was so cute, with his brown hair and adorable green eyes. Always there where she needed him...
Stop it Joy! she scolded herself.
„ Yeah, it is a great song „
„ I know the melody, I can play it on my guitar „ he gave her a toothy grin and Joy nodded. She didn't care anymore what people said was cool, or that this song was so a year ago, or that people will hear her how she sings... It was one of her favorites and no one could ruin it for her.
Fabian slowly started playing a slow melody on his guitar:
Joy: She sees them walking in the straight line,
that's not really her style
And they all got the same heartbeat
but hers is falling behind
Fabian and Joy: Nothing in this world could ever bring them down
Yeah, they're invincible, and she's just in a background
And she says,
Mara, Fabian and Joy: I wish that I could be like the cool kids,
'Cause all the cool kids, they seem to fit in
I wish that I could be like the cool kids, like the cool kids
Willow: He sees them talking with a big smile,
but they haven't got a clue
Yeah, they're living the good life,
can't see what he is going through.
Alfie and Willow: They're driving fast cars, but they don't know where they're going.
In the fast lane, living life without knowing
And he says,
Joy, Fabian, Mara, Alfie and Willow: I wish that I could be like the cool kids,
'Cause all the cool kids, they seem to fit in.
I wish that I could be like the cool kids, like the cool kids
Patricia joins: I wish that I could be like the cool kids
'Cause all the cool kids, they seem to get it.
Patricia: I wish that I could be like the cool kids, like the cool kids.
Everyone: And they said,
I wish that i could be like the cool kids,
'Cause all the cool kids, they seem to fit in.
I wish that I could be like the cool kids, like the cool kids
I wish that I could be like the cool kids
'Cause all the cool kids, they seem to fit in
I wish that I could be like the cool kids, like the cool kids
I wish that I could be like the cool kids
'Cause all the cool kids, they seem to get it.
I wish that I could be like the cool kids, like the cool kids.
Everyone: Woah
Woah
Woaah
Fabian and Alfie: Like the cool kids
At that point, they were standing up, with their eyes closed, hands up in the air while everyone else in the cafeteria was watching. Soon they could hear clapping echoing through the room. All of them smiled, even Patricia. This was nice, really nice. People clapping to you because they were impressed, because you weren't bullied. It was nice, if this is how Populars feel everyday, than they really started to think twice about what Willow said earlier. Except one person wasn't sharing their happiness.
Amber Millington, head cheerleader, beautiful, Queen Bee, you get the point. She couldn't stand seeing everyone clapping at those... those... those losers! So, she might as well take things to her hands and regain the balance again. ( A / N: I do not hate Amber, just so you know )
„ Nina, K. T. , follow me,now! „ she hissed, grabing her cup with hot coffe.
„ Bravo, bravo, bravo. Who said that lowlifes have talent? „ Amber clapped, approaching their table with Nian and K. T. following her like dogs on the leash.
„ What do you want?! „ Patricia snapped
„ Just congratulating you for not singing horribly „ she smirked
Then, something happened that no one saw coming. Amber spilled all her hot coffee over Joy, because Joy was sitting closest to her.
„ Ooops, sorry Messy Mercer, didn't see you there „ she fake gasped, using her nickname for Joy. „ But on the bright side, you are kinda popular now „ and with that Amber was gone to refill her coffee. Everyones gasp soon turned into laughter and pointing an accusing finger at their table.
„ I'm going to get some napkins „ Alfie said.
„ Hurry up „ Joy winced in pain as hot coffee started burning her skin through her shirt. And as a whipped cream on top, that was her favorite shirt. Soon, Alfie came back running, handing Joy some napkins that he got from the woman that was serving them food.
„ I'm gonna go to the bathroom to clean myself up „ Joy whispered, standing up and rushing to the restroom. She was so embarrassed. Why? She was a good person, why were the bad things happening to her all the time then?
Soon, Amber came back, with another cup and a giggling Nina and K. T. behind her.
„ Look at that bitch, walking like she owns the place „ Patricia hissed. She really hated Amber and her little group of airheads, because let's face it, none of her friends was smart. And now, she had a reason to hate her even more.
Meanwhile, at the bathroom, Joy was trying to wipe all the mess that Amber's coffee made. What a b- No Joy, do not curse she muttered.
„ If it helps, you and your friends were awesome. You really have a talent Joy „ she turned to see Mr. Winkler standing in the doorway, not fully coming in the girls bathroom.
„ Thank you Mr. Winkler „
„ Did you thought about joining some singing club? Or a school choir, maybe? „ Mr. Winkler asked.
„ Well, I want to but our school doesn't have any singing clubs and all places on the school choir are taken „ she sighed, looking at herself in the mirror. It is going to leave a stain.
„ Doesn't have, huh? „ Mr. Winkler said / asked. „ Well, I think that it is time for our school to get it „ he quickly rushed out leaving Joy all alone.
What did Mr. Winkler planned this time?
A /N : I know, I know... I have 2 other stories that I need to finish but I really liked this idea and I wanted to do it as fast as I could, so here you have it. MY NEW STORY! This is kinda similar to Glee but at the same point, it's not.
Also, I don't hate Amber, in fact I love her! She just seemed like a perfect character for a mean girl, at the start, but don't worry, soon all the Populars will come to their senses and become good, just you wait.
I am really sick so that explains my lack of updates.
Hope you enjoyed this!
