A/N: I wonder why almost every boy stares at me here. Is it because I'm not wearing the regular uniform or something else? Fuck it.

Chapter 3

Harrington House

As Chad, Parker, Justin, Bif and I leave the main school building I see many boys stop and stare (mainly at me).

"Why are they staring?" I mumble to the four boys walking with me.

"It's because your breasts fill out your sweater vest much nicer than any other girls' could." Justin murmurs.

"Plus your skirt reaches in between your middle and upper thigh." Parker adds. I'm guessing these guys have no fear around their own kind. Wait! Am I one of them? I mean; I'm rich and I wear their uniform so I must be . . . right? I shake (not literally! My boobs would jiggle way too much) these thoughts from my head and observed the animals around us in their natural habitats. The Bullies were picking on some kid I've never seen before in this game, the Jocks were heading towards the gym; the Nerds were going towards the Library and the Greasers heading towards the auto-shop. I was broken out of my observation just when something caught my eye.

"LOOK OUT!" Someone yelled out. I barely have time to see what the commotion's about before Bif pushes me . . . and falls into a very intimate position above me. His face turns scarlet after a moment of our eyes being locked.

"S-sorry." He helps me stand and then I hear Chad groan.

"You tore her stockings, you buffoon." The African-American boy faces palms. I look down and my stockings are, indeed, torn to within an inch of its material. I look up to see Parker and Justin telling off the lead Jock; Ted Thompson. Now that I think about it, Chad could've been talking to Ted instead of Bif (and it would make more sense).

"YOU IDIOTIC AIRHEAD! DO YOU SEE WHAT YOU'VE DONE!?" Justin yelled.

"YOU STUPID, CRACK-POT, COMMONER!" Parker screamed at him with equal hatred. I was nearly shocked by their words. I quickly cut in before they could try to tear Ted apart.

"I'm going to go remove these. I'll be having a word with this common idiot at a later date." I say before I collect my fallen satchel and walk back into the main building; Chad, Bif, Justin and Parker right on my heels.

"Are you okay, Sagesse?" Chad asked me while we walk towards the girls' bathroom. I smile at him.

"I'm fine but these leggings aren't." I frown slightly after saying this. I liked these stockings.

"We should go pummel that jerk-off." Justin growls from behind me. I sigh.

"I kinda don't want to get into a fight with anyone on my first day." I say (mainly to myself but loud enough for them to hear) as we turn the corner. I walk into the girls' bathroom and into a stall. I take off the dark blue ballet flats I had on and reach under my skirt. This must look so totally wrong to the outside world. I slip the stockings off and bundle them up into a ball. I slip the flats back on and exit the bathroom. The four boys look up at me and their eyes widen.

"Holy shit, you've got long legs . . ." Parker mumbles and I feel my face heat up slightly. I look at my legs again; they are pretty spidery (my way of saying long when referring to legs). I walk up to a near-by bin and drop the ruined stockings in. I then turn back to the four Preppies and smile.

"Are we going or not?" This gets their attention and then FINALLY we make our way to Harrington House.

(Gonna skip this part because nothing interesting happened other than multiple boys stopping and staring at my legs)

When we get there the four boys turn to me. Why do I suddenly have the feeling I'm going to go through some embarrassing initiation?

"Are you ready to see the inside of Harrington House, Sagesse?" They all watch my every movement. I've never EVER seen the inside of Harrington House (other than on the missions where you go into it, but they can't know that. They'll think I'm insane (which I probably am on some level)). I nod after a minute of racking my brain for other information about the inside of Harrington House. I only watch as the four boys accompanying me smirk at each other. Bif pushes the doors open and we walked in and I was whelmed. Not overwhelmed, not underwhelmed; just whelmed. It's exactly how I thought it would be; expensive looking and rich-kid worthy. My lips part and I almost mutter the words 'rich' and 'bastards' (I quote my favourite anime characters A LOT). I notice Parker fidgeting.

"Well?" He snaps at me. Bif (who's standing right behind the raven-haired boy) smacks him upside the head. I shrug.

"What do you want me to say? I'm used to being in these kinds of places." Which isn't exactly true but I was expecting this. The four boys accompanying me gave a sigh of relief.

What. The. Fuck.

They then start leading me down this long corridor and up a set of stairs. I must've zoned out because time flew for me. When we stopped and I snapped out of my trance we were standing outside this door. Chad turns the knob and opens it.

"We're here, Derby!" Justin calls out.

"Well get in here!" I hear Pinky yell. The boys flinched and I just rolled my eyes. Wait till Maggie hears about this. The boys walk in with me following . . . SINCE WHEN AM I THE SHEEP?! Anyway, in the room were Derby, Pinky, Gord, Bryce and Tad. The room had a bar, a pool table, three leather lounges, luscious diamond-patterned carpet and cream wallpaper with a slightly darker shade of cream fleur-di-lis pattern. Derby and Pinky were sitting on the leather lounge that had a pretty good view of the door, Gord and Bryce were playing pool and Tad was sitting at the bar. Derby smiled at me.

"Welcome to the Prep's favourite hangout!" he shouted with a grin. I smile back and hear Pinky growl from beside him. I turn to her and she shuts up almost immediately.

"Thanks!" I say to him and I'm guessing his ego got bigger because his grin became wider (if that's considered possible).

"Make yourself at home, Sagesse!" Derby said again, while motioning to the lounge to the right of his. Chad and Bif went to sit on opposite ends of the leather lounge to the left of the one Derby was on. Parker and Justin went to join Gord and Bryce. Tad got up from the stool he was sitting on and sat beside me. Not immediately beside me but close enough for me to believe he was friendly towards me. Derby leaned forward from his spot and looked at me.

"Full name?" He asked. This may be the initiation I was talking about.

"Sagesse Meadow Celeste." I say without hesitation.

"Birthday?" He asks again.

"January 30th." I reply.

"Relationship status?"

"Single." After I say this Derby leans back in his chair with a thoughtful look. I look at Bif and Chad and they just shrug.

"So you're a single, fifteen-year-old Aquarius." He says finally. I nod and he starts smirking again. After a couple seconds of silence he claps his hands together rather loudly, "After school, what do you have planned?" I stare at him for a second.

"I'm not doing anything after school." I say warily. If he's going to ask me out . . .

"So you'll be able to meet us at the fairgrounds at six o'clock, right?" Tad says in his fake accent. I nod after a second of thought. I'm pretty sure Buddy would've reminded me this morning if I had an appointment or something. I mentally slap myself; I'm forgetting who I am. Hmmm, could it be . . . no, it couldn't. Derby grins again.

"Great!" he then looked at his watch and stood abruptly, "If we leave now we may be on time." He says before dashing out of the room.

"What was that about?" I asked.

"Derby's obsessed with being 'punctual'." Tad says from beside him; only now do I realise that he has an arm draped around the back of the lounge behind. I smile at him before standing and walking out, Chad and Bif on my tail.

And that's that for this chapter, I kinda drove myself into another rut here but I think it turned out alright.
