Hi guys this is my first fanfiction so be nice and review :)
The Popularity Project
Ally's POV
"Ally look i know you don't like Austin, but you've gotta try to ignore him" my best friend Trish said as we walked into school that day. All the boys were staring at me desperately trying to flirt with me but i ignored all of them, i just didn't have time for boys these days with my AP film and music class plus being the captain of the cheerleading squad and keeping up my A+ average... "ignore him!? How can i ignore him when he is constantly annoying me and is acting like a jerk!" i said to Trish as i walked to my locker to get my gym kit. "Just try!" she shouted back as she headed away to her locker. I couldn't be bothered to listen to her speeches about Austin being a popular and that i should treat him like one and blah blah blah... I loudly stuffed books into my locker and grabbed my gym kit from it. Great i love gym, there's only one thing that has to ruin it, Austin. He has been in every one of my classes since kindergarten, i'm sure the teachers are just trying to torture me by putting him in my classes, either that or they actually think we are friends seeing as we always get partnered up together in classes where our teacher is mean, probably because i have good grades and he has the worst grades in the year. Austin is one of the popular guys along with Dallas and Dez, Austin is the most popular. There are also the popular girls, Kira, Cassidy and Brooke, Kira is the most popular. At first Kira wanted me to become one of the populars, in fact she wanted me to become the leader, but i said no. They have been trying to get me to join the group ever since. I'm quite popular around school, tons of guys are constantly asking me out and are giving me their phone numbers. I am also well known around the school, everybody seems to know my name.
The reason why Austin doesn't like me and annoys me so much is because Austin asked me out a while ago and i said no and he has been a jerk to me ever since. But that's not unusual, he's a jerk to everybody. I just don't get it, why is being popular so important to them. Sure the populars may be well known around school but the reason they are well known isn't so great. They are known around school for being the bullies, everybody hates them but i bet if any one of them got a chance to join the populars then they wouldn't hesitate to answer, they would be straight into the group acting just as jerky as the rest of them. I am not a sell out like everybody else though, i stuck to my word back then and i am still sticking to it now.
"Hey Trish" she nodded her head staring deeply down at her phone. "Hellooo, Trish?" i ask waving my hand in front of her face. "What? Oh sorry, I'm just watching this video the populars posted on tweeter" trish replied still not looking up from her phone screen. "Why, whats it about?" curious, i peeked over Trish's shoulder and watched the video. "They are just talking about how awesome and cool they are while making fun of people, i cant believe how cruel they are being!" i said annoyed. Trish just nodded, i don't think she knew what to say to cheer me up, or make me forget about what they said and how they acted in that video. I returned to my locker with Trish following closely behind texting away on her phone, i opened up my locker to check myself in the mirror. I know what you're all thinking, that's so vein of her to have a mirror in her locker, but it actually comes in handy a lot more often than you might think. Like this one time Trish was late to school and her hair was a total mess and there were already tons of girls in the toilets plastering make-up onto their faces, so Trish just used my locker and it worked pretty well. So that's just the main reason why i have it in my locker, another reason is because it works as a nice centerpiece for my locker, its surrounded of pics of me and Trish and all my other friends. I looked up at the clock, the bell was gonna go in a few minutes and me and Trish still had to get to the gym and get changed. "Trish, look, the bells gonna go soon, we should get going to class" i said as i practically dragged her in the direction of the gym. "Oh right, wait! I have to hand in this letter to Reception, i will meet you in the changing rooms save me a space" she shouted as her voice started to fade out and get quieter as she ran further and further away from me. Oh well. I picked up my gym kit and made my way towards the gym, only to be stopped at the doors by none other than Austin Moon...
