Milford Prep
Cafeteria
Tuesday October 19
12:46 pm
Heather smoothed out her blue plaid skirt and pulled on the knee highs she was forced to wear. She recalled her day so far, P.E. was a nightmare, and so was Biology before that. But now, she was in her comfort zone. She stood at the door of the cafeteria and scanned the muted blue room for her friends. Milford was nothing like BOCD, you see. Sure, there were cliques but here, the football players rule with their cheerleader girlfriends, and the cafeteria was the center of all gossip. It was basically the foundation of any high school-based tv show or movie. She went to the lunch line and was handed a card by Joseph Mitchels, a junior with ah-dorable grey eyes who just happened to be a first-string running back for the Mighty Bucks. She grinned and ground out,
"Hi Joey."
"Hey Heather, how you been?" He said, gently touching her hand.
"I'm good." She said, kindly pulling her hand back.
"So, tell me," he said, handing her an apple, "have you dumped that loser eighth grader yet?"
She scrunched her face up, she was increasingly hating it when people talked bad about the relationship she and Brandon shared. Last year all her friends were excited for her, but since she got to ninth grade it seemed as if every one expected her to drop him like last season's Dolce and Gabanna purse.
"Yes, we're still together." She said grabbing her tray as she walked over the the "cool ninth graders" table.
"Why?" He asked as if he was completely unable to comprehend.
"Because we love each other." She said taking a seat next to her best friend.
"Love? He almost killed you!" He said, taking the apple he handed her earlier, and biting it.
"He did not almost kill me! His friend was hit by a car!" She said, growing frustrated.
"Whatever you say. I'll see you later, angel." With that he walked away, and sat with the football players.
"Heather, Heather, Heather... why do you insist on torturing that delicious slice of man meat?" Her best friend said, as she put some of her Greek salad on her fork.
"What do you want from me? Last year you told me to go for Brandon! Now it seems as if your completely against us!"
"Heather! C'mon! It's JOSEPH MITCHELS! Maybe if it was Tony Parker," she gestured to the artsy goth carefully sketching in his notebook, "I would totally discourage you! But its not. He's a football player and two years older AND he's pining after you! If I were you I'd drop Brandon like a dead fly."
"Well, your not! I'm sick of hearing everyone put down my relationship! Don't make me choose, because I'm not sure you'd win." She said standing up, gathering her tray, and dumping it's contents in the nearest garbage. She'd go to the library for the rest of lunch, besides, she had a research paper due for English in two days.
Raquell Hartsent (ahh! it's Massie-at-heart-x0x0x0!) smoothed her jet black hair, and pretended as if her best friend's little spectacle didn't happen. Who did she think she was? If it wasn't for her, Heather wouldn't even KNOW Joseph. Raquell was the ONLY freshman to make the Buck's varsity cheerleading squad, and with that came instant popularity for her and anyone she remotely associated with.
"Quel (pronounced 'Kel'), are you okay?" Krystal Mayers, a sophomore varsity cheerleader asked her.
"Yeah, I'm totally fine, Heather's just been a little upset since the accident." She said smiling, assuming her reply satisfied her teammate, she dumped the rest of her salad, and proceeded to the courtyard. As her boyfriend, Tony wrapped his arms around her slim waist, she pretended that her life was perfect, that she didn't feel as if her best friend would drop her for Brandon, and that she wasn't jealous of those raty BOCD eighth graders Heather'd rather go to New York with, than go to her sleepover. She pretended as if her life was as perfect as she made it look, even though it wasn't. It was far from.
A/N: "Eh Ma Gawd! Is this a different story? Wtf is Milford Prep?" HEHE! This is kinda like a lil side story but it still has to do with PC and the Clique! I decided to make Heather and Brandon (i need ideas for a pet name, like Dylvert and Clam and Massington, etc.) a part of the main characters! Please go 2chapter 2 (labeled: back cover) and read Heather's thingy. congrats to ahhscreaming4noreason! you are now a MAIN character! as for Massie-at-heart-x0x0x0, welcome to the family! A little side note, not every fan i have will become a character, i made ahhscreaming4noreason a character because when she asked, i got inspired. As for Massie-at-heart-x0x0x0, i thought she was funny, and i asked if it was okay if i made her a character. I just wanted to clear that up. R&R!!!
P.S. Massie-at-heart-x0x0x0, i hope you like the name!
