Chapter 7
Shut up and explain!
It was monday morning. For people of Middleton this day is just another beginning of another week, but not for Bonnie. For her it is the day that will change almost everything in her daily life. She opened a closet and started to choose clothes that will fit her new way of life the best. Usually she wears only something from latest trend or collection. It was part of her that wanted to be always superior that dictated her fashion taste, and it must stay in the past. She stopped her choice on black top and blue jeans and black and white sneakers, which she bought for jogging recently. She looked at her reflection in the mirror. Bonnie was pleasantly surprised how good new look was on her. It was simple and comfortable, but at the same time showed how nice her figure is. She took her bag and went downstairs.
"Where are going? Are you taking out trash?"
Bonnie turned around and faced her sisters, which were sitting on a sofa. They came back yesterday's evening to clean up, but since all work was already done they just stayed the night. .
"No Lonnie, i'm going to school." Bonnie answered to her as calm as possible.
"Looking like that?" Lonnie made a disgusted look. "This top is so last summer! And sneakers, what are you, a skater?"
"Did you finally accept that you will never be as popular, good-looking and smart as we are?" Connie added.
"Yeah, that's right." Bonnie answered. "I'm not going to try being the most popular anymore. I'm freaking tired of it! All i gained in a process is respect from people who only see in me a status, not a person, and guilt for all i've done to people that didn't deserve a treatment i gave them. And i am also going to stop trying to be AS smart and good-looking AS you. I'm smart on my own right now, and i know that i have good looks. And whatever you think of me will not affect me in a slightest from now on. Have a nice day!"
Bonnie went out of the house with a triumphant smile on her face. Her hearts was beating like crazy. She finally did it! She found powers to talk back to her sisters! It was a good start of a day, considering what is ahead. Beware Middleton High School, new Bonnie is going to show herself today!
Meanwhile in Rockwaller's house two sisters shockingly watched at closed front door.
"Gee, i knew she was a loser! What a shame to have a sister like that. Let's go Connie, we meeting guys in, like, half-hour."
Lonnie went to her car. Connie was standing in a porch, feeling lost in her own thoughts.
"CONNIE! Let's go! We're going to late!"
"Oh, right, sorry. Let's go." she said and went to the car.
Bonnie was standing near her locker. She waited an opportunity to shake her status, to show the end of Queen B. And it came with a fellow cheerleader named Hope.
"Bonnie!" she said loud. "What is with your clothes? Is it a laundry day? This top is from last year's collection! And those sneakers, don't you care at all? Have you thought about what will happen to your position in Food Chain?"
"Wow, i didn't expect such overreaction actually, i just change my style to more comfortable." Bonnie replied. "And about Food Chain, screw it. I don't care about the position in that stupidity anymore!"
A whole hallway full of people went silent. Some people even started to pinch themselves, to check if it was a dream. One of these people was Tara, who just entered the hallway.
"WHAT?" Hope squealed "How can you say this? You are on top of Food Chain, a Queen!"
"So what? Listen, if this title is SO important to you then take it. It doesn't mean crap to me anymore."
Hope couldn't pronounce a single word anymore. The shock was too strong. She just went down the hallway to the classroom. Suddenly people around started rapidly talk about what the hell just happened. Meanwhile Tara walked up to Bonnie with an expression of total confusion on her face.
"Bonnie. Please tell me that i'm not dreaming right now and you totally left the Food Chain idea."
"First of all, good morning. Second, yes, you aren't dreaming, this actually happened. And Tara…" Bonnie lowered her head a little. "I'm really sorry for all these years. For all this dates with jerks, just because they had high status in school, all those Food Chain ideas, all that crap that you endured from me..."
Tara leaped and hugged Bonnie with tear in her eyes.
"It's okay Bonnie. I'm so happy right now, you can't even imagine. Oh my god, i'm crying."
"Let's go to Lady's Room. Your eyeliner is a mess now."
"And whose fault in that?"
"Your make up?"
"Yeah right. Let's go, we still got some time before classes. But let's keep all emotional talks to after school, or i will be short on my eyeliner."
"Agreed." Bonnie answered. "By the way, i made a new friend this weekend, and since i'm not going to sit with a popular crowd at lunch, for obvious reasons, i was thinking to ask a sit at his table."
"His table?" Tara was confused. "Who is he?"
"You'll see at lunch."
At lunch time Ron Kim and Monique sat at their table, while everyone around were discussing Bonnie's changes. Of course the biggest gossip-girl in school wasn't quiet about it either.
"I'm serious Kim." Monique nearly squealed from excitement. "I was there! Bonnie basically called THE Food Chain - a stupidity! And when Hope mentioned her Queen status, she told her that it doesn't mean a crap to her anymore!"
"And i say that I don't buy it!" Kim skeptically looked at her best female friend. "It's Bonnie we are talking about! Food Chain was created around her! She wouldn't disown it just like that! She's probably plotting something again! Right Ron?"
"Actually, i think that she's actually changed." Ron answered with a goofy smile.
"WHAT?!" Kim shouted. "Are you serious Ron? It's Bonnie we are talking about! The one who called you a Loser on daily basis! The bitchiest human in school!"
"Wow Kim, you're overreacting. Also, she is not that bad." Ron said, sipping his soda.
"Who's not that bad?" said the voice behind Ron.
Bonnie and Tara stood near Ron with food trays in their hands. Suddenly whole lunch room became quite.
"Hi Bonnie!" Ron smiled.
"Hi Ron, can we sit with you, all tables are packed, and yours has extra seats."
"Of course!" He answered.
Two girls sat at the table, while people around were silently watching them. Silence was broken by a gossip girl, who couldn't hold her questions anymore.
"Bonnie! Is it true that you said SCREW IT to the food chain? And what about you dropping a Queen title? And why you changed your style? And why you said HI to Ron without insulting him? And why…"
"Monique!" Kim said. "Don't forget to breath!"
Monique made big gasp.
"Alright, i'm alive. So what is going on?" Monique asked again.
"Wow." Bonnie sighed. "I'll try to answer in order. Yes, i'm done with a Food Chain, i realized how stupid the idea was. Considering that i don't give a fuck about it anymore my status and title as a Queen doesn't matter anymore. About my style, well, i just decided to stop being obsessed with fashion trend. They changed to quickly, and sometimes they change for worse if you ask me. So i decided to wear something that i comfortable with, and i think it suits me. Oh, and about Ron, we are friends now."
Almost every single person in lunch room opened his or her mouth from the surprise, including Kim, Tara, and Monique. Couple seconds later the area started to fill with whispers, which eventually grew into full voiced gossiping.
"And it's just like that since the morning." Bonnie sighed again. "I feel myself like broken mute button! Sound ON Sound OFF."
"I wish i could see your stand earlier." Ron said.
"Yeah it was something. By the way, why you weren't there? You usually come early with Kim."
"My fault, i needed to finish something before i went to school. Kim was late because she waited for me outside."
"WHAT IN THE NAME OF HELL IS GOING ON?" Kim suddenly burst out. "When did you manage to become friends? Only several days ago you hated his GUTS!"
"Kim i will tell you later. I will treat you naco!" Ron tried to avoid the scene.
"OH HELL NO!" Monique shouted this time. "I want to know to, spill the beans both of you, NOW!"
"Actually i want to know this too." Tara barged in conversation.
"Looks like there is no retreat captain! Should i tell them the story?" Ron gave up.
"Nah! It's kinda my fault for shocking them like that, so let me do it."
"Are you sure?"
"I insist!"
"Well if you…"
"JUST TELL US ALREADY!" Kim was losing her patience.
"Alright alright, geez." Bonnie breathed in. "Well it's started at Friday. My sisters, bane of my existence, held a party in our house, an all-nighter, and i was trying to find a place to spend a night, i couldn't ask Tara, because her house was already full with her relatives, i also couldn't afford a decent room in a hotel at that moment, so i decided to spend a night at the park."
"You did WHAT?!" this time Tara raised her voice. "You could just call me! I'd have found you a place, even if it means me sleeping on a cold floor! And what the HELL have you been thinking?! Spent night at the park? What if you were mugged, killed, or raped!"
"Wow, wow, calm down. I'm fine." Bonnie said, looking at her, out of breathed, blond female friend. "To my defense, i weren't thinking clearly back that. My sister winded me up that day, plus a lot of stress for the reasons i will explain you when we'll be alone, ok? For now let me finished an abridged version before lunch is over."
"OK" red from anger Tara said. "Continue the story."
"Well, as i said earlier, i decided to spend night at the park, not my brightest idea, i know. That is the point where Ron appears. He found me there, and invited me to his house. I decided that it will be much more comfortable to sleep on a bed than on the ground and followed him."
"Couldn't left lady in trouble." Ron smiled.
"Ron, what the hell! What would your parents say?" Kim burst out again.
"Possible, don't be a drama queen!" Bonnie told with a slight irritation. "Now you all, be lambs and let me finish. Ok? Ok. So basically that evening we talked. The conversation was about why did he helped me after all shit treatment that i gave him over the years, about why i was like that, about how i hated all this Food Chain farce recently. He listened and consoled me. Next day he baked some cupcakes, and we became friends. It encouraged me to finally drop the status and, here i am, talking with you."
Kim was going to say something, but was interrupted by Monique's muttering.
"…cupcakes…cupcakes…cupcakes…" she repeated.
"What's wrong Mon?" Ron asked.
"FUCKING CUPCAKES!" She screamed out. "There are LEGENDS around the school, not rumors – Legends, about your heavenly cupcakes! I was you friend for a freaking long time, and you never, NEVER gave me a single cupcake! And Bonnie got them JUST LIKE THAT!"
"Wow, don't be like that!" Ron said, while taking out a container from backpack. "Actually this morning i was late, because i was making these."
He opened a container and smell of fresh bakery filled the room.
"I made this in case Bonnie would make her stand today. There's five, one for everyone here."
The second he said it Monique grabbed a cupcake and took a bite. Tears filled her eyes. Chorus of angels filled her ears.
"It's even better than legends told."
