Chapter 4
Claire
That Massie was sure going to get it for her betrayal. How could she? And what if she made up with Alicia? I tried not to think about that as I secretly texted Dylan.
Claire: Ths teacher is supr boring.
Dylan: I no. Hey, wanna go 2 the mall after skool?
Claire: Sure. Uh-U need 2 get ur mom 2 send the extra limo 2 get us. My mom can't.
Dylan: KK. G2G
I closed her phone, and stuffed it in her jeans pocket. I only half listened to Miss Anderson drone on and on about the history of OCD academy. What a bore! I turned to see Alicia. Was she like missing me? Obviously not.
And what about Layne? She was whispering to Meena and Heather. My ex-friends. Sigh. Was my social life falling apart? I tried not to think about it. I pulled on my classy side ponytail. Then, I heard Layne say, "Claire? No, we're not friends. She dumped me for the Ugly Committee." My cheeks burned with rage. Layne Abeley, my worst enemy did not just say that.
I heard Meena and Heather laugh at me. I craned my neck. "You're the one to talk, Layne…the stain! What about your man clothes?" I was grateful to hear Dylan and Kristen giggling behind me. That meant they hated Layne as much as I did. I saw Alicia glare in my direction, then turn and whisper to Olivia.
I was not going to let it bother me. Especially when I saw her talking to Cam Fisher. Since 9th grade, we were totally distant. Cam didn't talk to me, and I ignored him for Chris Plovert and Kemp Hurley. I was being a jerk, and I knew it. Finally, ha had dumped me, and I got Josh. Yeah, Alicia was all war when that happened. She spread rumors, and then refused to take me to Spain when she went for her birthday. Naturally, she was immediately thrown out.
As for me? I didn't care if I never saw Alicia Rivera ever again. Watch what you wish for.
