CHAPTER TWO:

When I arrived at school, it wasn't as bad as I imagined. I was still the plain Jane that no one recognized or even glanced at, a poltergeist that was floating through her life in an empty shell. I gently pulled my shaky hand through my hair as Sabrina lead our way to class. I was a little shaken up from the incident earlier and my knuckles hurt like hell. I have never been one for violence. Always avoided it at any cost and tried to keep peace.

"Hey Jane," Sabrina said and nudged at my shoulder, "You okay?"

I nodded and adjusted my glasses.

"Wow Jane!"

"Huh?" I connected eyes with none other then Jimmy Hendricks. The all time basketball hottie, but Dante would totally kick his ass hands down.

"Don't look so surprised," Jimmy said and rubbed my head in a brotherly fashion. Don't be so surprised? He's kidding right? Last time I checked I was a dork and he was popular… so in the last 25 minutes what happened to change that?

"I saw you kicking Victoria's butt on one of the videos circling the school."

Oh that happened…

"Yeah," I managed to mutter out.

"Just wanted to say I admire girls like you."

"Huh?" I must have looked like I had a seizure, because I really thought I was having one. My heart was thudding like an African drum. All these popular kids were flocking towards me like cows to peanut butter. Okay, maybe my word choice was a little off there, but really this wasn't in the norm.

"Well then Jane, see you later." Jimmy winked and for I moment I really thought he meant it. But it's impossible, right?

I stood frozen as Jimmy walked away his tight jeans making him walk a little stiff. HUH?

What in heavens name am I staring at? My heart already belongs to one boy. Sabrina's silent form brought me back to reality as I turned and stared up at her. She was a little taller then me, she could become a model if she really wanted to.

"Jane, I could have sworn I drinked my meds this morning, but how in Hogwarts did that happen?" She pointed down the hall to Jimmy who vanished between the crowds.

I stared at her for a moment gathering my word choice for her question. Once again I was completely stunned.

"Well I think…" I started off, "that I might have gained popularity with that video."

Sabrina stood still for a moment, her finger still pointing down the hall.

"You're joking, right?" she said and relaxed a little, she even sighed. "Jane there's no easier way to say this, but here goes… you might not believe this but…." She took me by my shoulders, "You are a dork. You always have been and always will be one, Jane. This popularity might only last a week at most."

I sagged a little in her grip. I have been called a dork many times, by many people, but never has Sabrina said that to me. She always praised me as her friend.

"Yeah I know," I whispered for her to hear. My head hanged low as I felt her eyes on my head.

"But that's why this will only make it so much sweeter when you kick Victoria's ass and win Dante over!"

I looked up at her in shock. She said what?

"My dear friend," Sabrina smiled and hugged me. "You are a hero to all nerds, a prodigy!"

I grabbed onto her arms and pushed her off.

"Sabrina," I said sternly. "Focus for a second here, were talking about Victoria; all evil ruler of Hills High School. There is no way in hell I can win over Dante while she's around. Look at her and then look at me. We are miles apart. Dante wouldn't go for a Plain Jane like me." I was swaying my arms around as I spoke making each word as dramatic as my fragile self could, without knocking myself off balance.

Sabrina nodded the whole time, more out of sarcasm thought, unfortunately.

"Do you get my point," I asked and arched my eyebrows.

"Sure, sure, now back to my plan," Sabrina said and grabbed my hands.

"You didn't listen, did you?" I asked. She replied sincerely with a 'yes' and continued on.

"My aunt owns a beauty salon in Camps Bay and were heading there this weekend. So then I can ask her to do something to you."

"Do something to me?" I almost screamed. "No Sabrina, I refuse! If I want a guy to like me, I want him to like me for who I am!"

Sabrina smiled, "Yes boss!" She saluted me in old army fashion and nodded down the hall.

"Look who's there." I looked up and saw Dante, with his extremely white teeth, perfect lips and fluffy white hair, wave at me. I wanted to scream like a little girl, but I am a mature woman. So I lifted my hand slowly, I was going for the 'oh so sexy look'. When suddenly a white hand crashed on top of mine, it was Sabrina's. She held my hand and seemed to be in complete remorse.

"Sorry Jane," She whispered. Past me walked a smiling Victoria, with a big fat purple right eye. She stopped next to me and grinned, "Don't get your hopes up dear. Dante only goes for girls out of their training bras."

My fists were already clenched. With enough speed I could easily shut her other eye temporarily too. I smiled.

"What you smiling at," Victoria immediately demanded.

"Well I'm smiling because I know what type of sick twisted person you are and that you really think you can step on me. Well it's just hilarious in fact!" My eyes connected with her blue orbs.

Victoria's grin reappeared, "Well then…let's see who wins."

Hey guys, I do apoligize because it took me like in forever to publish this chapter. School has been one hectic ride from start to finish.

I also apoligize for any spelling mistakes and sentence structure. I just finished writting it and its already 11 o' clock in the evening.

Thanks for reading, please review! Its good for the soul.
