"That's Mayor Vald's daughter?"
"I heard she went to private school."
"Why did she leave?"
"I bet she was bullying people."
"She probably got into a lot of fights too."
"She's got a sweet ass!"
"Nice tits too!"
Sighing, I ran a hand through my hair closing my locker trying very hard to ignore all those stupid rumors. I had hoped this wouldn't turn into some cliché honestly. Sadly here I walk down these halls hearing people assume some basic shit because I'm the adopted daughter of the billionaire mayor. Internally groaning I scanned the halls hoping to find some familiar face and hoping, even more, they don't believe the rumors. With a sigh of relief, I spotted Sam leaning against some lockers laughing and quickly walked over there.
"Hey," I happily said smiling at her seeing her eyes glaze over with suspicion before quickly changing to a fake warmth. "Danny, Tucker," I said nodding at them already feeling my bit of happiness seeing them deplete as I saw how guarded and suspicious they tried to hide. "Um," I said quickly holding up my schedule, "anyway you could point me towards homeroom?" I said smiling awkwardly at them seeing as they both gave each other looks speaking in their own quiet friendship telepathy thing before Sam sighed breaking the eye contact first.
"Yeah," she said pushing herself off the lockers taking hold of my schedule.
"So," Danny said forcing a smile on his face, "how's your first day been so far? " he asked as a few jocks passed by clearly checking my ass out laughing and pushing each other in their idiotic jock way.
"Well," I said glaring at them, " the rumors have so far been the highlight of my day," I sighed, "always nice to know things I never knew about myself. My favorite one so far is that I'm actually secretly Vlad's younger girlfriend and I don't want the media to be all over us so we both agreed to say I'm his adopted daughter. Or, god this one is beautiful, I burned down my old school because Vlad wouldn't tell me who my parents are and ended up taking all my credit cards away so I threw a huge tantrum like the spoiled princess that I so desperately hide," I sarcastically joyfully said frowning.
"So not good?" Tucker offered making my frown deepen.
"Peachy," I snapped.
"Down the hall to your right then keep walking to the very end second door to your left," Sam said handing me back my schedule while I nodded already feeling the bitter feeling settling itself in me.
"Thanks," I told her giving her a small smile taking back my schedule and heading towards homeroom. "Maybe I'll see you guys at lunch," I told them waving back as they only nodded.
"Poor girl," Tucker said shaking his head at her retreating form feeling bad for how everyone was treating her including them.
"Poor girl?" Danny scoffed, "this could be an entire act her and Vlad came up with," he offered glaring.
"Exactly Danny," Sam offered up, "it could be we still aren't 100% sure yet," she glancing over at where Eloisa had just turned the corner. "For all, we know they could be up to nothing at all," she suggested.
"Maybe," Danny said slamming his locker closed earning a glare from a teacher passing by, "still we have to keep a close eye on her," he finished just as the first warning bell rang that classes were about to start.
"Just a bit of hydrogen," I mumble squeezing the droplet carefully into the beaker feeling Danny's intense unsuccessfully subtle stare. "Turn the heat a little lower," I said feeling my eyebrow twitch in annoyance towards Danny. "Either you find me incredibly fascinating or there's something you desperately want to ask me since you've been staring at since we got partnered together," I said arching my eyebrow at him seeing his face slowly start to turn red at my blunt response. "So, which one is it Fenton?" I asked smiling at him only seeing his face increase in redness.
"Uh," he stuttered out rubbing the back of neck looking at anything but me, "the thing is," he quickly said making me smile seeing how embarrassed he was. " I was just so mesmerized but how well you were doing everything," he lied chuckling inconvenienced by his own lie.
"You wanna stick with that or try again?" I offered cocking my head to the side.
"I'll stick with that," he grumbled snatching his notebook and quickly writing down some notes and shook my head going back to what we needed to do.
"And if you divide by 52 you should end up 10,598," Tucker quickly said deadpanned looked at him, " but don't forget to include the exponent also!" he said chuckling nervously.
"Tucker," I blankly said, "we're in gym class," I stated the background chatters and squeaks of shoes on the ground grew as Tucker looked around slowly nodding realizing his failed lie. "Not math class," said as a dodgeball whooshed by me hitting him directly in the face knocking him down. Dash and his crew laughing at what they made happen while I shook my head looking down at him before walking away. "Idiot," I mumbled out.
"Alright," I said slamming my AP literature book right on top of Sam's desk making her jump slightly in surprise. "What the fuck?" I said frowning making her raise her eyebrow saying 'what'. "Oh don't attack like you don't know Samantha," I accused pointing my finger at her. "You, Tucker and Danny have been staring at me nonstop throughout the entire day coming up with lame excuses when I ask," I told her as she mumbled 'idiots' under her breath. "You being the exception because you actually played it off decently during lunch. So," I said crossing my arms in front of my chest glaring down at the goth girl. "You gonna tell me what the hell is going on or are you gonna tell me some lie also?" I asked seeing her ready to answer hoping she would clear everything up.
"Hey new girl!" a voice said averting my attention from Sam to the new voice belonging to a cute looking Hispanic girl waving me over. "Stay away from the freak," she said walking towards me swaying her hips and flipping her long curly hair over her shoulder. "I'm Paulina," she said smiling her pearly white teeth at me. "Us beautiful, rich, popular kids need to stick together," she said hooking her arm around mine, "and stay away from losers like her and her loser friends," she glaring at Sam which only made me glare at Paulina. Sam and the rest were pretty cool and chill to be around with even though their lying skills, mostly Danny and Tucker, suck.
"Sam?" I asking hoping she would explain everything and we could forget everything and be friends.
"Yeah, like I would ever want to be with stuck up people like you," she countered making me frown hurt by her words before nodding.
"Let's go then," I said ignoring Sam's shocked look before taking her attention to her book.
"I love your hair by the way," she said dragging me to her popular group.
Wooo! Updated with a hopefully better chapter than the first one.
