(I've noticed a few high school tales, and thought I would like to put my mark there too, enjoy!)

not mine, not making any money, it's just for fun!

Prologue

High school was supposed to be the best four years of your teenage life, right? Meet new friends, learn something new, join cool clubs, go to dances, sporting events, and everything else high school had to offer you. High school was supposed to be the most memorable four years damn it! so, why was high school such a pain in the ass for Stephanie Plum?! Okay, so what she had just begun high school three months ago, but shit, if those weren't the worst months of her life. First off, she wasn't in any cool clubs, her mother didn't want her to join any sports club, her mother thought that they were too manly for her. She was an average student in average classes. She hated math, science, English, history and that blasted home economics class

Oh how she hated that class, with a fiery passion…

Stephanie had no friends, only friend Mary Lou, whom she had been friends with since the beginning of her 14 year old life. Joyce Barnhart had seen to that, by spreading a nasty lie around the school campus. Everyone had avoided her like the plague after that. Shit, it was hard being a 14 year old in high school! She just wanted to crawl into a hole and rot there!

Stephanie let out a huff, blowing a strand of brown curly hair from her face. Here she was, at her lunch period and she couldn't eat the lunch her mother packed her, and It was very good too, but she couldn't seem to enjoy it. Maybe it was because she was sitting at the table that the stoners and hardcore D&D (Dungeons and Dragons) players sat at. She didn't have a problem sitting there, but geez, if they could just stop trying to hit on her, as if they hadn't seen a woman ever in their life time! She just really wanted this to be over with so she could go to stupid world history.

Stephanie was so engrossed in her meal and her thoughts, that she didn't notice that the lunch room had gotten quiet around her. It was the soft cough that had her jumping up from her seat and looking around dumbly. Stephanie paused and looked forward and let out an 'Eep!' looking at the person before her.

Heidi Evanston, the most popular girl in ninth, tenth and eleventh grade stood right before her. Stephanie and Heidi had never spoken words to each other. Heidi was a straight A ninth grader. She was a cheerleader, president of their ninth grade class and she had all the boys and some girls chasing her. She was tall, 5'7 with long black hair that was up in a neat ponytail that curled at the end, amber eyes that were bright and full of life, milk chocolate skin that was blemish free and a toned body from all the tennis she played. Today she had on a pair of jeans and an oversized turtle neck that was black, with a silver chain wrapped around her waist. Heidi was perfect, and why she was standing in front of Stephanie, had Stephanie stumped.

Heidi smiled, showing off pearly white teeth and said in her light voice, "Hey, you wanna sit with me?"

Stephanie looked around and then pointed to herself saying, "Me?" earning a nod from Heidi, "Me?"

"Uh…yeah," Heidi said smiling again, "You wanna sit with me and my friends?"

"Why me?" Stephanie asked, before she slapped her hand over her mouth her eyes wide.

"Because, I want you to sit with me!" Heidi said with a smile, "I don't believe anything that Joyce Barnhart says, besides, Barnhart is a desperate cunt, looking for attention!"

Heidi had said the last part loudly, making everyone gasp and whisper. Heidi always seemed to be indifferent around Joyce, but to voice how little she thought of her, it made Stephanie snort. Looks like the most popular girl in school didn't like the bitchiest girl on school.

Stephanie sobered up quickly and then said in a serious voice, "Is this a joke, are you going to do a 'She's all that' on me and drop me like a bad habit just for a bet?"

"Jesus woman, that's cruel!" Heidi said, her hands on her hips, looking at Stephanie, "I just want to get to you know you, damn it! Shit, what is this 21 questions?! If you don't want to sit with me-"

"No, I do, it's just, no one this popular walks up to me and ask if I want to sit with them," Stephanie said with a huff, looking up at Heidi, who deflated, and made a sound.

"Well, I am!" Heidi said, motioning for Stephanie to pack her lunch up, "Come on, Plum, you're sitting with me!"

Heidi helped Stephanie pack her food up, and led her over to the covenant table that was far away from the teachers that watched over them while they ate, and was close to the courtyard. Heidi sat down at her spot, and pulled Stephanie down with her. after they sat down, the lunch room went back to it's loud din.

"Guys, this is Stephanie, Stephanie these are my friends, be nice!" Heidi said, before tucking into her lunch.

Stephanie looked around, most of the girls at the table were cheerleaders, and others were tennis players. Stephanie felt a little out of place, looking at the pretty girls, she wasn't as pretty as them. A tall blond with sharp green eyes leaned forward and said, "Are you Valarie Plum's little sister? The weirdo, as she calls you?"

Stephanie blushed and said, "I'm not a weirdo!" picking at her food.

"I know that, your sister's the weirdo!" the blond said leering at Stephanie, " My name is Jeanne Ellen Borrows, and I'm a cheerleader, like Heidi, but I can't play tennis worth a shit."

"Why is Valarie weird? She's like perfect!" Stephanie argued, eating her sandwich, "She's the perfect Junior student and has a perfect boyfriend…"

"Whatever, we all know that Fred tried to jump Heidi in the girl's locker room," A girl said, pointing to Heidi, who nodded her head, "He was all over her, if Jeanne hadn't walked in when she did…"

"You mean, he almost raped Heidi?" Stephanie gasped looking at Jeanne, who nodded her head, "And Valarie is still with that dick!"

"I know right!" Heidi said, "I went to your sister and she just called me a liar. Or course you know Fred isn't going to say shit, he's a man through and through."

The girls at the table nodded their head while Stephanie looked like a fish in open water, she didn't know that Valarie was dating a dick!

The conversation turned light after that, and by the time the bell rang, Stephanie didn't want to leave the table, she was having so much fun! Heidi slung her purse over her shoulder and turned to Stephanie, "Hey we have the same gym time right? We can hang out there and I'll give you my number, that way we can hang out, outside of school too!"

Stephanie smiled, watching Heidi scribble down her cell phone. Heidi gave her a hug and said, "We're going to be great friends Stephanie, now pardon me, I have Trig to go to…yuck…."

Stephanie walked out the lunchroom, holding Heidi's phone number close to her chest, she was going to be friends with Heidi Evanston, the most popular girl in high school! Maybe high school wouldn't be so bad after all!
