Hey Guys! Sorry, I haven't updated in a long time. I'm just real lazy. And school was just taking up most of my time with finals and sports. But since it's summer I plan to update on a regular basis now. So ENJOY!

CHAPTER 3

I sigh as I see Nicole, Carly, and her minions walk up to Jayne and I. My step sisters have been extremely mean lately. probably because Lucas and his best friend Brandon have tried to get every chance they have to talk to both of us. Brandon really seems to like Jayne. I think I see a spark there. And every time they have to leave Lucas kisses my hand just like the first time we meet. Though I will never admit this out loud but I'm sorta starting to like him.

His sweet, nice, caring personality, his eyes, his lips...NO stop this Rena! He is nothing but a player! Snap out of it girl! Ok, if you, reader, ever tell anyone of my secret, I will track you down and silence you forever!(Insert maniacal laugh). Just kidding, Just kidding.

"Hey, nerds!" Nicole suddenly yells, snapping me out of my inner monologue. Nicole, Carly and their minions were 4 feet in front of Jayne and I.

"What do you want?" I asked. Carly scoffed.

"For you to get out of our hallway," she said valley girl like.

Jayne rolled her eyes. "What makes you think that this is your hallway? Last I checked it was the school's, not yours."

Nicole and Carly put their hands on their hips. Uh oh. Something bad is going to happen. It always does. "Well, we rule the school. What we say, everyone does. So get out of our hallway. We don't have room for low-class stupid people like yourselves," Carly yelled.

"Yah. You wouldn't want mom to know of this, Rena. She'll make you do more of our work. I like the sound of that, huh? You are our maid, so it would be fair," Nicole sneered. All of the jocks and cheerleaders behind them laughed.

"We're not afraid of you. And I'm not afraid of your mom. Never have and never will be. We'll walk in this hallway as much as we like. You can't tell us what to do," I said bravely tensing up for whatever will come next. Jayne did too.

"Aw, the losers are standing up to us," Nicole said as they both took a soda from their friends. They came closer to us. I glared at them. Then, they took the lids off and dumped the soda all over our heads.

Jayne and I stand there in shock with our mouths agape while the sticky liquid that smelled like coke dripped all over our bodies. I looked up to see Nicole and Carly smiling smugly and everyone laughing and pointing at us. I glanced over at Jayne and saw that she was almost in tears. That's when I had enough. I glared at my step sisters and opened my mouth to tell them off. But, before I could I heard a voice ring out in the hallway.

"Hey! Leave them alone!" Two boys were pushing their way to the front of the crowd that had now formed. I realized that it was Lucas who shouted out; Brandon following close behind. As soon as they were in front I saw Carly and Nicole perk up and try to get Lucas attention. Well, they had his attention but it wasn't for a good reason. The two boys came to stand in front of us as if protecting us.

Which confused me. Why would they stand up for us? We were losers. People who were invisible to the world. I didn't understand until Lucas spoke up again, "Leave them alone. They are nothing but nice people and you are being completely rude to them. They are just students like yourselves. You should be ashamed to treat others this way."

Carly and Nicole looked completely shocked. Like they just got slapped. Good, I thought, there's a taste of your own medicine, girls. Everyone else in the hallway just stood still. My step sisters turned around quickly and ran away with the rest of their group. Lucas then turns to face me. I see Brandon comforting Jayne.

"Are you ok?" I nodded and told him thanks. he just smiled at me and said, "Anytime."

Brandon came up to us with a sniveling Jayne in his arms. Aw, they look so cute together. He's looking at her with adoration in his eyes. "Come on, let's get you two to the nurse to get cleaned up," Brandon said. As we started walking to the nurse's office, I saw all the witnesses still looking at us. "What are all you looking at!" They all turned back to walking and talking after I shouted at them.

Lucas chuckled at me. I glared at him. "What's so funny?" He just grinned and said, "Nothing." I stared at him for a while and then rolled my eyes. "Whatever. Are we going to go or not?"

As we walked into the nurse's office, the nurse came up to us and took us into her arms. "Aw, poor girls. Let's get you all cleaned up now. We have extra pairs of clothes if you want." She looked at Lucas and Brandon. "Thank you boys. You may go back to class now."

"If it is possible Ms. Brinkle, may we stay with them," Lucas asked. Brandon readily agreed with him.

Ms. Brinkle looked up and down at the two boys. She said hesitantly, "I guess. But, make use of yourselves. Grab those two blankets and paper towels over there."

They quickly obeyed and 20 minutes later Jayne and I were all dry, with new clothes, and smelled distinctly like coke. We thanked the nurse and walked to our 4th period class. All four of us had the same fourth period together. Weird, right?

As we were walking Lucas asked me a question I was not expecting at all. "So, are you girls going to the formal? Brandon and I are going and we wanted to know if we could all go together. Or meet each other there."

"I don't know. I wasn't planning on going..." I trailed off as I saw the deflated expression on both of the boy's faces. Jayne elbowed me. "Of course we're going," she said merrily. "We'll meet you there!"

"Great!" They both said in unison, grinning. I gave Jayne a glare mentally asking her why she said that. Lucas opened the door to history class. "After you," he said to me. I smiled at him and we walked in.

If only I knew that two certain some bodies were listening in on to our conversion.

Carly and Nicole smiled evilly at each other. They had overheard the four friends talking about the dance. They would not let Rena go no matter what. They would get their revenge for being humiliated in the hallway. Both girls waited until the ended of the day and snuck home fast so they could beat Rena there. When they reached their house and burst into the doorway, they saw their mom talking on the phone.

"Mom! Mom!" They ran up to Brenda but she put up a finger signaling them to be quiet. Carly and Nicole tried to be patient but time was running out. Rena would be home soon.

Carly grabbed her mom's phone and snapped it shut. "Carly! what do you think you are do-" Nicole interrupted her before she could say anything else.

"Mom! Rena is planning to go to the Winter Formal this Friday. With Lucas," She shouted.

Brenda looked shocked. She shook her head. "Oh, no. This won't do. This won't do. She can't go. Definitely not with Lucas."

"What should we do then? She is going to steal Lucas away from us. That little brat! Who does she think she is," Nicole shrieked. A plan formed in Brenda's head.

"Girls, This is what we are going to do. Come closer." She then told the girls a very detailed, very devious plan. They all grinned evilly at each other. The three snapped back to reality and pretended to do something when they heard the front door open.

Yay! Another chapter down! Review please! :D
