Hillside Definite School
Monday, April 9
7:50am
The hallway was a bit more crowded than usual as the PC: 2 walked through the doors of their school after being dropped off by Christina's driver, Harold. As the girls continued down the hallway it seemed as if every single person they past stopped, pointed, and stared.
"Is one of my hairs out of place?" Christina asked patting her head.
"No, is there you know on the back of my skirt?" Kat asked gesturing to her pleated plaid skirt which was part of the school uniform.
"No" Christina said then she rolled her eyes "they're probably just admiring our gorgeousness and are jealous that they'll never look like that."
"True dat" Natalie said.
As soon as they established that point Christina walked past a locker of sixth graders who giggled and one walked up to her. "What was it like?" they asked.
"What was what like?" Christina asked.
"Giving head to Dustin Thompson" the second girl whispered.
"Excuhuse me?" Christina asked.
"Nevermind" the sixth grader said and she walked away with her face about as red as a tomato.
"LBR much?" Christina asked her friends who just shrugged.
"Where did they come up with that random stuff?" Tori asked.
"No idea probably just desperate to talk to me that's all" Christina said as she smoothed another coat of lip gloss on her lips.
"Hey foxy" an eighth grade boy said as he walked by the PC: 2.
"Desperate much? I'm already taken" Kat shouted back.
"I was talking to her" the boy said gesturing towards Christina.
"I'm taken too nice try" Christina said.
"What are you not admitting to it? The whole school knows" the boy said.
"The whole school knows what?" Christina asked.
"That you gave Dustin Thompson and three other football players BJs on Saturday night" the boy said.
"WHAT! Excuse me but are you a magician?" Christina asked.
"No" the boy said.
"Then why the hell are you pulling random stories out of a hat" Christina said.
"It's not random I heard it from my friend who I think heard it from his little sister in your grade" the boy said.
"Ugh are people really that desperate to get my attention?" Christina asked.
"They are now" the boy said licking his lips.
"Ugh!" Christina said storming away.
"You didn't really do that did you?" Kat asked.
"Of course not! What do you think I am some desperate slut? Ehmagawd I wonder if Ian heard this!" Christina asked.
Natalie, Kat, and Tori all bit their lips nervously.
"GUYS! This is seriously my whole relationship with Ian might be in jeopardy! And what if Jack thinks I gave his brother a BJ?" Christina asked.
"I highly doubt they'd believe it" Tori said.
"You never know everyone else does and apparently the whole school 'knows' who the hell spread this?" Christina asked.
"Probably Ellie. She's probably trying to get revenge or something" Kat said.
"I don't think Ellie would do something like that it's just not her" Tori said.
"True dat" Natalie said.
Kat just shrugged "maybe she's not the innocent little girl everyone perceives her to be."
"Maybe it was Sophi Baxter? Or Bailey Hurley?" Tori suggested.
"My bet is that it was probably one of them rather than Ellie" Christina said.
"Well right now I think you have a bit of a bigger problem" Natalie said.
"Why?" Christina asked.
"Because Ian is coming over here right now and he doesn't exactly look very thrilled" Natalie said.
Christina buried her face in her hands and wondered why on Earth the universe was deciding to punish her today.
Hillside Definite School
Mrs. Hampton's Spanish Room
Tuesday, April 10
1:00pm
Ellie didn't exactly like to hate school but when it came to her Spanish class she kind of had no choice.
The subject itself wasn't all that bad since Ellie was quite good at languages it was just the people in her class that made her want to scream and today wasn't any different.
Not only that but her seat was in the front right in front of the most annoying kid in the class named, Richie Latolli and Bailey Hurley's desk was right next to hers.
"Ello guvna!" Richie said in a mockney (fake cockney) accent and going in to high five Ellie who just stared at his hand.
"Is that really necessary?" she asked.
"Is vat really necessareh!" Richie said making fun of Ellie's accent which he often did.
Ellie just shrugged and tried to ignore him which usually would make him stop if Bailey wasn't in the room yet but unfortunately she was.
"Hey guvna can I have some fish and chips please?" she asked in the same 'accent' that Richie had.
"Or tea I'd like some tea and biscuits" Richie said laughing with his other friend, Bruce who sat in the desk behind him.
"Por favor, sentarse en tus asientos asignados, Clase" Señora Hampton said.
"Wha-wha-what?" Bailey asked.
"We no speake Español Señora!" Richie said.
"Richie, don't be rude" Señora Hampton said "and I asked all of you to please sit in your assigned seats that goes for everyone including you Señorita Hurley."
Bailey, who had been sitting at an empty desk near where her friends were sitting huffed but nonetheless agreed to sit in her seat.
Usually, to pass the time Ellie tended to think about whatever first came to her mind. When Tyler used to be here and it was a day she had Social Studies sixth period Ellie used to think about him since it usually made time go faster. But now she sat thinking about why this class just sucked arse.
They were learning about vocabulary dealing with cars today and about halfway through the class Bailey turned to Richie and whispered "so did you hear about what Slutstina did on Saturday?"
"Yeah and apparently I heard it was really good haha" Richie said.
Immediately Ellie knew that they were talking about her ex-best friend. She had heard about the rumor earlier in the hallway from Cassidy who heard it from her friend Bill in eighth grade. While apparently everyone else seemed to think it was true Ellie didn't believe it for a second.
"Go up to her she'd probably give you one" Bailey said.
"Aren't you friends with her guvna?" Richie asked Ellie.
"I dunno" Ellie said.
"She doesn't have any friends Richie didn't you know that" Bailey said cackling.
Ellie could feel rage continuing inside of her but she decided to ignore it though if they said one more-
"Isn't Christina going out with Ian Hotz? If she's doing that kind of stuff with seniors then she must've fucked him already" Richie said.
THAT DID IT even though technically she wasn't Christina's friend anymore she still felt compelled to stand up for her.
"You guys don't even know what you're talking about" Ellie said softly at first.
"I thought you just said that you and Christina weren't friends" Richie asked.
"Still how do you know what you're saying is true? You could've just heard it from some person who has nothing better to do then go spread rumors about someone" Ellie said.
Richie laughed, "Shut up guvna."
"All I'm saying is before you open up your mouth to spread things about someone you should check where you hear the information from because you don't know what you're saying. You don't even know the whole story and for all you know it could all be false."
"Shut up Ellie this is none of your business" Bailey said.
"Why are you telling me to shut up? I thought this was America aren't people supposed to be able to talk without being oppressed by the government?" Ellie asked innocently and she was shocked at the change in character that had occurred within about five minutes.
"Ugh you're such a nerd. Maybe you should just go back to Scotland of wherever the hell you came from and leave us all in peace" Bailey said.
"She's going to have to go tell the Queen you said that Bailey" Richie said.
Ellie just looked up at the ceiling which was something she often did when she needed a prayer. "Make fun of me all you want just stop talking about Christina because whatever you're saying it's not true.
"OK" Bailey said and with that she began to hurl all sorts of slurs at Ellie who just sat there and ignored it all.
"Bailey! What are you doing?" Señora Hampton asked.
"Nothing I was just being playful gosh!" Bailey said.
'Ignorant could be another word' Ellie thought to herself.
"Hey guvna I have a question?" Richie asked.
"Yes?" Ellie asked softly.
"Isn't your last name, Webster? So like doesn't that mean that you invented the web or something?"
Ellie just shrugged "sorry, no."
"She's a spider Richie duh!" Bailey said.
"AHH!" Richie screamed in a girly voice.
"Richie, Bailey, Ellie is there a problem?" Señora Hampton asked.
"NO!" Richie said.
"No ma'am" Ellie said softly.
"Then get back to work."
Ellie looked at the clock which hung in the back corner of the wall. It looked so old and out of place next to the newly painted classroom walls. The little hand was on the one and the big hand was on the 4 which meant that it was 1:20. Ellie just groaned since this meant that there was still twenty minutes of the period left.
However, there was a person sitting in the back of the room…a quiet person who maybe wasn't noticed as much but he had heard every word that the quiet little girl in the front had said that was so out of character for her and he wasn't going to let that go…not at all.
Hillside Definite School
The Front Garden
Tuesday, April 10
3:05pm
"Wait so has Ian said anything to you?" Kat asked Christina as the girls were making their way out of the building after a second day in school after the rumor drama.
"He doesn't believe me…he thinks I'm lying can you believe him? And Jack keeps giving me these evil glares though what's funny is that ever since 5th period no one has come up to me or anything…at all." Christina said.
"I just have one thing to say and that is that the people at HDS are definitely gullible for sure" Tori said.
"Ya think?" Christina asked.
"Stating the obvious much?" Natalie asked.
Tori just shrugged, "it's what I always do." And the PC: 2 just smirked.
"Psst Christina!" Christina could make out the sound of a familiar voice which she had not heard for a while say her name.
"I think someone's calling you" Natalie said.
"No? Really? You're a genius Nat" Christina said and started laughing along with the rest of the girls.
"Christina Fisher I am talking to you!" the voice said again.
So Christina just sighed and walked towards the tree near the first bench where her crush/ boyfriend, Ian was standing.
"Hi" Christina purred.
"Hi" Ian said biting his lip awkwardly.
"So what? You're speaking to me now? Asking me to beg for forgiveness?" Christina asked.
"Pretty much I can't believe what a gullible asshole I was" Ian said.
"Why would you believe that in the first place?" Christina asked.
"I dunno because Jack said that he knew his brother got it from someone but he didn't know who and after that rumor went around he didn't know if it was you or not" Ian said.
"So it was Jack who started the rumor?" Christina asked.
"Hell no! I think it was Bailey Hurley" Ian said.
"Figures…dumb bitch" Christina said.
"She's annoying" Ian said.
"You don't have to tell me" Christina said then she smirked "so…are we good again?"
"Of course" Ian said as he kissed her lips and Christina felt her heart flutter though it did every time they kissed. It kind of reminded her of the song 'Everytime We Touch' by Cascada.
"Quick question" Christina asked.
"Yeah?"
"What made you want to believe the rumor was fake? Just asking" Christina said.
"Oh well, Jack told me that he was in Spanish and he heard Ellie saying to Richie and Bailey that they 'should know what they're talking about before they say anything' or something like that" Ian said.
"Wait…what?" Christina asked.
"Ellie ya know Webster said to Richie and Bailey that they should know what they're talking about before they say false things" Ian said.
"Ellie? You mean the Ellie that went out with Tyler?" Christina asked.
"Why past tense?" Ian asked.
"Nevermind" Christina said.
She was still awestruck that her best friend scratch that ex best friend would do something like that for her when Christina knew that she had been nothing but a bitch to Ellie. She had deserted her in a time of need and yet the tables were somewhat reversed and Ellie didn't go seeking for revenge?
'When I'm gone, When I'm gone, You're gonna miss me when I'm gone' Christina heard her ringtone of the Cups song from Pitch Perfect and saw that Harold was calling her.
"Crap! I completely forgot. I have to run since Harold and the girls are waiting to go I'll see you tomorrow k?" Christina asked.
"K" Ian said smirking.
The car ride to everyone's houses was rather awkward and silent since the girls never really talked in front of Harold since he always scolded them no matter what they said.
Christina frantically sent out a text to the other girls.
Christina: guess ? I just found out
Natalie: ?
Kat:?x2
Tori: ?x3
Christina: the reason the rumors stopped wuz bc of Ellie
Tori: ?x10
Kat: lol dying
Natalie: I don't think shes jokin Kat
Tori: y wud she be
Kat: idk
Christina: it's true Ian told me tht she stood up to RICHIE AND BAILEY telling them quote 'they should know what they're talking about before they start saying things'
Natalie: damn
Tori: damn now I feel like shit for how we've been treating her
Kat: same here
Christina: ik she cud have easily confirmed them since people do know tht we're friends
That wasn't the only questions spinning in Christina's mind she had about a million more. But there were probably about a million more that would go unanswered that is unless she spoke directly to Ellie herself.
PLEASE REVIEW XD!
