It was my first day at new school at the start of my senior year, which not how thought would be the freshmen year. I thought, I would be Queen still ruling the upper east side, but what surprised me is I am so happy that it did not happen. I was not in custom, goth inspired uniform, I was in rip jeans a coral tee shirt and sweater that I had just finished; the coon eyes are gone and I was happy. I had gotten my morning coffee, with my new team Yosh, Eliza and Kit, after practice this morning. I was on a team, cross country something that I never would have thought would happen or even thought of as the Queen of the UES. I knew I was finding the person I wanted to be, and not thinking about the one I left behind. I had made through my first three periods all, A.P. courses thanks to Constance I was ahead of most the seniors, and shockingly had transferred with a 4.0, which surprised me more than anything. First period was A.P. english lit, second was A.P. Calc, how I was going to do this without Nate, who didn't have to think about math to pass- I know he was high for almost all of those classes since it was his first period at St. Judes. My third period was A.P. Western Civ and was in this class I saw my first "Heather", I could spot the queen of this school without a breath, being a banished one in my own right. I regrouped with my team at lunch and I was pounced on by the "Heathers."
"Hey new girl," A short blonde, scare-ish familiar blue eyes, she was wearing a short skater skirt, with a Blair style knock off look, and be that I knew style and class of the real Queen B something I would never dis her on, this girl just seem plastic. "Do you want join, us and drop the losers."
"No, thanks," I answered as I spotted my team, at table in the corner and continued to walk.
"Hey little J," Another girl, who was a mini me of the last girl.
"I don't know you, and only my friends can call me that and you girls are not my friends," I answered as made to my friends. I ignored the "Heathers" behind me, who I could tell were mad, I also quickly checked GG to make sure, my cell phone GPS was off and showing where I was and it wasn't. "Who are those girls?"
"The Saras a.k.a the old you of this school," Kit answered as she looked over at one of the Sarah, who was legs for days burnet. "The short blonde is Sarah Colestin, her claim to fame is her dad is fifth cousin to the Vanderbilts, and not any of the ones you know, but according to her she gets go to Nantucket every summer for the fourth of july family reunion. The burnet with legs for days is Sara Tipton, her mom is one of the top lawyers in albany, while she lives with her dad he in town, who is doctor; she is the queen bee of the theater department. The last curvy bottle blonde is Sarry Alexander, who is set be our valedictorian, if Yosh doesn't knock her off it."
"Hudson High has it own version of the Heathers, if my life was not soap opera already," I tell my friends, with a smile as open my sack lunch my mom made me, with carrot stick with homemade hummus with extra garlic- mom way of keeping me from kissing anyone, half of turkey pastrami on rye, apple and bottle of green juice. "Just my luck."
"I know you have told us, that you were a mean girl back at your old school Jen, but I personally don't see it," Eliza said as she took a sip of her water. "You are such a kind heart."
"I left the mean girl in the UES, and she can stay their," I answer as I got into my carrot sticks and hummus.
"I would be careful, Jenny the Sarahs can be crazy," Yosh said as Sarah C. came over to our table with her minions behind her. "I should know I dated, Sara C. freshman year; possibly the worst mistake ever."
"Jenny, these are not our kind of people and my offer to sit with use only going once will be gone," Sara C. said with a all too familiar evil sweetness.
"I am fine right here, I left Little J in UES where she been turned into a voodoo doll by my step brother ex-girlfriend, which is currently being tortured," I answered and gave my power Queen of Consonants smile, which should send anyone running, but not this bitch. "Otherwise you wouldn't be here asking to taken down a notch, and not being."
"Do you even know, who you are talking to?" Sarah C. asked as if should matter.
"No and nor do I care," I answered as dipped a carrot in some hummus and took a bit.
"We have a mutual friend, though he my family, Nathaniel Archibald," Sarah C. said with sickly sweet bitch of a smile.
"Wow, that surprising Nate didn't say anything about you last night when we talk after our COD match, or like ever in the four years I have counted him as one of my closest friends. Now I said no, I don't want to be your queen, I am done with titles," I answered as continued eating.
"Well fine," Sarah C. answered as picked up my green juice and poured it on my head. "If that's how you want to play it."
"Sarah Coalstin, detention!" I heard the voice my step aunt Rachel, Alex's sister, and the assistant coach for cross country and a math teacher here HHS.
"But she started it?"
"No, she didn't and I would stop arguing if don't want it to be all week," Coach Rachel answered looking down her glasses at the short blonde.
"Yes, ma'am," Sarah C. said as she walked away.
"Thank you, Aunt Rach," I thanked her as I try to wipe the green juice of my face.
"Hey, why don't you go to the locker room and get clean up I get a pass for your next period," Rachel said as help me pick up, my lunch.
I made my way to the locker room, but before I got into my locker, I had call my GBFF and say sorry again. I pulled up my skype app on my phone, in a second my best friend in whole world was on the screen, at lunch saint judes. "Hey, how is my favorite step- brother?"
"Great, how is nowhere high?" Eric asked with laugh, when saw the now sticky green gunk in my hair.
"I found my greatest fan, or more to say Little J greatest fan," I answered.
"Oh Jenny I am so sorry," Eric said, as always more compassion than I deserved.
"I honestly call to say I am sorry for dumping yogurt on your head, again because now I know how it feels," I apologised.
"That all in the passed .I have, my best friend back and that is what matters," Eric answered with more grace. "I need to finish my lunch and you need to get that out of your hair because you with green hair would just be bad," Eric laughed.
"Agreed," I laughed.
"Love ya Jen, talk later" Eric said.
"Love ya to bye," I answered as we hung up.
I may have green hair, like Anne did in Anne of Green Gables, but I also had friends who loved me. I was so happy to be out of the UES and New York. I was happy with Little J being a voodoo doll, in Blair closet, because she was the worst possible me. I like the person I am now, it from here I want find the woman, I can be and leave the candy store behind me for good.
