Returned reviews:

LadyMysteri: I'm working on the talking part :) Umm, is that supposed to be a compliment or an insult-your third review? I can't tell you if Mace and Coco will end up together...you'll have to wait and see!

Lili: :) here it is!

Another warning: There will probably be some mistakes.


My eyes widened in surprise.

"Really? Why…"

"Why what?"

He asked me with a little twinkle in his eye. I rolled my eyes(the twinkle…)

"Your eyes and hair. I thought that you were blonde dude. Not brown. That's all."

"Oh. What made you think that?"

I yawned. "A picture of you that Eric showed me."

"Oh that. I was wearing a blonde wig and contacts. It was Halloween, so I didn't to risk people recognizing me."

"Okay."

"So are you feeling better?"

"Yah, If I wasn't then I wouldn't be here."

"YO ACE!" screamed a voice.

"I have to go-one of my friends is calling me."

I just shrugged. "Whatever."

I watched him walk away from the table. Damn, he was hot. A few minutes later Darla walked over.

"What happened? What were you 2 talking about?"

"Nothing."

"Oh come on, you must've been talking about something!"

"It was nothing interesting, okay?"

It was silent at out part of the table for a little bit, while we were eating our pancakes and fruit.

"Is your back better?" she asked me.

I gave her the same response that I gave to What's-his-face.

"So do you like him?"

I shrugged. I just met him.

"I don't know. I haven't known him for that long. Do you?"

"Of course I do! Who wouldn't? I mean, come on. He is the handsome prince of Denmark!"

I rolled my eyes. I finished eating my food, and drank some of my apple juice. Then after that I shrugged.

"Umm…me?"

Darla's jaw dropped, so big that you could probably cram an apple into it. Her teeth were pearly white, compared to my teeth. I'm not the best brusher. Luckily my mom let me brush my teeth. Darla's teeth looked so perfect that you could find it in a magazine

"Oh my gosh Coco. How can you not like him? I fell in love with him the moment that I saw him! He is everyone's dream man! I mean, really? Are you thinking straight today? Did you wake up on the wrong side of the bed?"

"I just don't. I barely know him for crying out loud! Yeah, really. I'm sure that I'm thinking straight. I might have woken up in the wrong bed, but I woke up on the right side of the bed." I replied.

The bell rang.

"Bye."

"Bye Coco! We'll continue this conversation later and I'm going to slap some sense into your head!"

"Yay! I'm so excited!" I said sarcastically.

Darla just rolled her eyes at my remark, and I got my schedules out. It was a blue day-so I had to follow my first schedule. I looked around. Everyone had their books, and I had nothing except for my papers and a note excusing me from participating in gym class.

I walked to my class. Boring. We watched a movie about the history of Denmark. Music was also boring. Then after that I had gym-my favorite class so far.

When I entered the gym, there wasn't anyone their except Mr. George. I walked over to him. He was looking around the room, then our eyes met. George smiled and walked towards.

"So you are Cinderella/Coco, right?"

"Yes. Why?"

"I heard what happened between you and Mrs. Stricks."

I gulped. I didn't want to get whipped again. The whipping really hurt, but at least I didn't have to deal with Sarah and Penelope. Thank god for that. George smiled.

"Don't worry, you aren't in trouble. You are the first one to…"

He looked around, making sure that no one was paying attention.

"…Stand up to that bitch. I'm not as old as you might think though. I'm only 18 years old."

I nodded.

"Don't worry about the note-we aren't doing much today of course. We are just going to chillax and play some fun games."

"Okay. That sounds…like fun."

A moment later, some people ran into the gym. They were wearing a uniform. The tops were red and white. The bottoms were blue sport shorts. Alex, Eric, and Mace walked towards me. George smiled and walked away.

"How are you feeling?" asked Alex.

"Fine. My back is still in pain, but oh well."

He smiled. "That is good news!"

I smiled back. "Yeah, it is."

"Why were you talking to George?" Asked Mace.

His presence took me my surprise. I didn't know that he was in the same gym class as me.

"Oh that? I was going to give him note to excuse me from gym until my back was a hundred percent better. He also commented on how I stood up to the shitty bitch on Monday."

Eric smiled too.

"I'm shocked that the first person to stand up her would be a girl."

I shot daggers at him with my eyes.

"What?"

"Don't be a sexist asshole."

"I wasn't being sexist!"

I laughed.

"Yeah right. Women can be tough too-not just men. See, that's what I hate about guys. They think that they are better than girls, but they aren't. Sure, we might be 'weak' and incredibly bitchy at times, but we aren't dumb!"

"Oh, so Coco's a lesbian!" said Mace with smile on his face(Ooo, I rhymed! Yay me!*does little dance*)

I glared at him. How, how dare call me a lesbian! I am far from one-yes, I love Jade, but she is my best friend. I mean, come on. That was just insulting.

You can call me a bitch, a faggot, asshole, annoying-you name it. Never call me gay or lesbian. That is just crossing the line. So I did what I do best. I slapped the stupid smile off of Mace's face.

"NEVER CALL ME LESBIAN!" I screamed at him. "HOW DARE YOU CALL ME A LESBIAN YOU BITCH!"

There was a look of shock and hurt on Mace's face. Everyone's eyes were on us.

"Coco!" Exclaimed Alex. "What was that for?"

"He called me a fucking lesbian!"

"That doesn't mean that you have to slap him."

"But he crossed the line!

Alex looked around the gym. "What line?"

I hit my forehead with my hand. "I'm not talking about a gym line!"

"Oh. Now I know what you mean. You still shouldn't have slapped him. Don't you know that you can get arrested for that here?"

"No I can't because I'm a U.S. citizen!"

He sighed. "True. Are you okay Mace?"

"Sure. My parents have done worse." He turned to me. "I was just joking Cinderella. I wanted to see what your reaction was. I didn't know that your reaction was going to be that violent though."

He smiled a wonderful-wait, what the hell am I saying? His smile was just a normal smile.

'You like his smile!' A voice in my head said

'Oh my god. Not you again!' Another voice said.

'Don't deny it Coco! You like him!'

'NO I DON'T HE CALLED ME A FUCKING LESBIAN!'

'You still-"

"COCO!"

I snapped out of fighting with myself. I looked up at Mace and Alex(they are both taller than me. I forgot to mention that I'm short .)

"What?" I asked them.

"You were drifting off again." Answered Alex.

"Nah, she was just daydreaming about my wonderful smile." Commented Mace.

I rolled my eyes at Mace's comment.

"Why would I be daydreaming, let alone, think about your smile?" I stated, trying to convince Mace that I didn't like him like everyone else.

He shrugged.

"Because you secretly like me but won't admit it. Don't worry, I won't tell anyone else."

I rolled my eyes.

"I'm out of here."

And walked away.

"YOU CAN'T AVOID ME IN MANNERS CLASS!" shouted Mace, with a smirk on his face.

I turned around and stuck my tongue at him. Then I sat down against the wall. Some people were chatting, and some were roughhousing. I sighed and continued fighting with myself.

'look at him Cinderella, isn't he hot?'

'sure. I guess. Wait, Wait a second there Coco. You. Don't. Like. Him!'

'yah you do! Just afraid to admit it!'

'No! I haven't known for a long time! Besides, he already has a girlfriend!'

'You could change that.'

'Ha ha. I have no interest in relationships or anything like that. Boys that are just friends are okay.'

'No they aren't. You need a relationship!'

'Shut up Cinderella!'

'Not yet.'

'SHUT THE FUCK UP CINDERELLA!'

'Fine. But you'll like him soon.'

'Never Coco, never!'

'Never say-'

'I hate Justin Bieber!'

'I was going to say that you don't like Mace.'

'So believable Ella, you were so going to say never.'

'Fine. I was. I know you like him! Bye for now.'

I hit my head against the wall. Damn it, why did Mace have to enter my life? I sighed. I hate my alter ego, Ella. You see, I have to egos-Ella and Coco. Ella is girly and stuff like that. Coco is bad and well, who I am most of the time. I hate when Ella bugs me. See, right now Coco is driving my thoughts.

Then the bell rang and I walked to the cafeteria. Darla was already at our table. She looked angry. I sat down.

"What is wrong with you Cinderella Preston? You don't insult the Prince! That is just wrong."

I groaned. Not this again.

"He called me a lesbian!" I whined.

"So what Coco. He didn't call you a bitch, like you called him."

"So, I'd rather have him call me a bitch then a lesbian. I mean, I just powdered him!"

She looked at me, confused. "What is powdered supposed to mean?"

"Owed."

"Coco!"

"What? It's true!"

"Coco. I'm serious! People hate you for what you did to him! In fact, Sarah is coming over right now. I got to go to the bathroom. Then she left me to deal with a pissed off bitch.

"Why did you slap my boyfriend punk and call him a bitch?"

"Hmm. Let me see. He called me lesbian!"

"You're a lesbian? HEY EVERYONE! CINDERELLA IS A LESBIAN! SHE IS A LESBIAN! LET'S MAKE FUN OF HER! CINDERELLA IS A LESBIAN! CINDERELLA IS A LESBIAN!"

People started to laugh and give me strange looks. I took a deep breath and screamed.

"I AM NOT A LESBIAN YOU FUCKING BITCH! HOW DARE YOU CALL ME A LESBIAN! I BARELY HAVE ANY FRIENDS THAT ARE GIRLS! I'M STRAIGHT AS THEY COME YOU BIG ASSED BITCH WITH SHIT POURING OUT OF YOUR MOUTH!"

Then I grabbed her head, and dunked it into my soup. After that I grabbed my lemonade and poured it on her hair. I let go of her for a second, then pushed her back into my food. "That, is was you get for calling me a lesbian. By the way, you're a bitch. See you later." Then I left the cafeteria, wondering where all of the teachers were and before anyone could yell at me.
