Minx's POV
Third month of school, most kids were settled down with their 'click' or group of friends, Like Krism one of the more popular kids and me in the outcasts or so, I mostly hung out with them. They're are my closest friends, they know me, And I know them. Everything was great! Amazing…...till, they found out, about my secret. They….They...I was alone, I am alone.
~The first month~
I laugh my high pitch crazy laugh, that makes everyone laugh with me at our lunch table. I Look around at everyone sitting with me. Nick, Jamie, Lily, And Ryan. Nick hand long blond hair. that stopped at his shoulders, and the end of his golden blond hair it started to curl. He had peach skin and gray eyes. He was the quiet one out of the group. Jamie had red brown hair, she always had it straight it was just about past her shoulders, her eyes we a hazel brown green. Her boyfriend was one of the popular people by Krism and her group. Lily had black hair with green bangs, it stops at where most girls bra would be. Lily was kind of punk goth so she was pale like me. And Ryan is the smarter one of the group, he had dark brown hair and pale blue eyes. But we don't really call him Ryan, we mostly call him Cry.
Krism's POV:
By the third month of school, I had somehow managed to make it into the popular group at school. How? I have no clue. I guess I have to give my friend Amanda some credit. She made me dye my hair again, and gave me a makeover. After, I looked like totally new person. Now all I had to do is keep up my status and I might survive this year, right?
Wrong. Last year I discovered that I was... different. Different in a very big way. Somehow I would have to hide my real self, and no one could know. I wished Amanda hadn't moved away. Maybe then I wouldn't be having such a hard time, but life seems to enjoy screwing me over. "Don't think like that. You can do it this time. All you have to do is resist." I whispered to myself as I approached my usual lunch table.
Felix, Marzia, Ken, and Cheyenne were already there. I quietly sat down and picked at the graul they called 'lunch'. The others in my friend group were ok. Marzia was head over heels for Felix, Ken can get anyone to do anything, and Cheyenne os friends with everyone. I guess I'm just here for my look. Either way, it's better than being at the bottom of the chain. Felix had short blonde hair and a funny personality. Cheyenne had brunette hair, blonde bangs, and a perfect reputation. Ken had dark brunette hair, a nice body (At least that's what everyone says), and the heart of every girl in sight. Marzia had wavy, long brunette hair that obeys her every command. She always seems to have her make-up on point.
Krism's POV:
"Hey Krism! We were just about to go look for you. There's something we wanted to talk to you about." Marzia greeted me ever so politely.
"Hey guys. Yea, sorry about being a little late. My home room teacher never seems to stop talking. I could have sworn I still heard him going on as I walked out the door! But what did you all want to talk to me about?" I said, entering the conversation.
"Well, first of all I don't want you to take this too hard. We're saying this as friends. It's not like we want to hurt you. It's just that times have changed, and you look like you walked out of a grave. You need to change your wardrobe the most, but you could do with some makeup tips too. Some new shoes DEFINITELY wouldn't hurt." Ken critiqued
Way to sugar coat it guys. What was wrong with my outfit? I had on sweat pants and a
t-shirt today with a new pair of tennis shoes. Being comfortable isn't bad... right? I guess I could always switch up my style here and there. What could go wrong, right?! I had been meaning to go shopping, anyway.
"Hey, Krism! Why don't you come over after school? I can help you with your make-up, and we could go stock you up on clothes when Cheyenne and I go tomorrow. You'll come along with us! What do you think? Does that work for you?" Marzia offered.
Why was she all of a sudden being nice to me? Usually Marzia ignored me as much as possible while Felix did the talking! Guess everyone wanted to help me for the better. Had I always been this bad at style and make-up?
Suddenly I was aware of how crappy I looked in my outfit. How had I walked out of the house this morning knowing how I looked? Maybe I should go to my room and change. Hopefully Marzia and Cheyenne would help me jump to my senses...
"Sure. I'll come. Hey, I think I'm going to skip history and change out of these clothes. I don't know how I walked out the door knowing I looked like this. I'll meet you after school in your dorm. See you in science, Felix!" I yelled, walking out of the cafeteria.
I hadn't eaten anything, but skipping a couple meal wouldn't hurt anything. I grabbed my key from the red purse at my side. Quickly, I opened up the door and searches through my closet. Finally, I found a red dress that ended just below my knees. My mom used to make me wear it to her business meetings when she couldn't find a babysitter. It would have to work until I found some new clothes at the mall tomorrow.
History as still in session, so I still had time to fix myself up a bit. I decided to up my hair up in a bun, and touch up my make-up. As I looked in the bathroom mirror, I wondered how anyone could ever find me pretty. Ken was so right when he said I needed to get with the program. I was REALLY counting on Marzia to use her magical power of beauty on me. Everyone knew I needed it!
I returned to school during passing period. Quickly, I made my way into science and found my usual seat next to Felix. He looked surprised when he saw me. Apparently my trip had made a big difference!
I turn and see on the board that today the teacher will be moving our seats. Luckily, I wasn't stuck with one of the crap partners. Instead, I got the seat next to Minx. Minx used to be in our friend group until Ken freaked out about something she had said. I didn't question it. It's not like losing one person in the group would hurt me.
"Shoot. Looks like we're moving seats again. At least you got Minx. I got a guy that calls himself Cry. How jacked up is that? What, is he really emotional or something? I don't know how he even HAS any friends with that stupid mask on!" Felix complained.
"Yea. Hopefully he won't be too bad. Best of luck with that. Guess we couldn't be partners forever." I carefully responded. I didn't want to get on his bad side at the moment.
I quietly stood up and made my way over to where Minx sat. She looked nervous for some reason. Was I really that bad of a partner? Maybe she was just scared I would freak out about whatever Ken had done.
"Hi!" Minx greeted me as I situated myself at the table.
"Hey." I said, smiling back at her. Seeing her again made me feel bad for her. What had she done to piss Ken off so bad? He can be annoying, but his temper only gets that high on occasion. Either way, what's done is done. I had no say in it anyway.
I turned my focus on the science lesson. I would have to create a short movie and write a paper on someone people should look up to. I turned to look at Minx, but she seemed to be zoned out in her own little world. I finally got the courage to tap her on the shoulder.
"Hey, Minx?" I whispered, trying to be polite.
"Huh? Yea" She said, shaking her head. Maybe I should have just let her be.
"We're doing a project together..." I clued her in. I guess she hadn't been listening at all throughout the lesson. What had she been thinking about?
I then explained to her what the project was about, and she seemed to be fine with it. I still had no idea who to do, but we could always figure that out later. The bell rang just as I finished telling her the assignment, and I rushed out of the room. This was going to be an interesting project.
