"Okay. Now remember to clean them 2 times a day and-" "I know the drill. I've done this before." I smiled at her. "Okay. That'll be $14.79."
"What other peircing was your brother talking about earlier?" Julie asked. I lifted my shirt to just above my belly button. "You peirced your belly button?" Connie gasped. "It was a bet. I lost, so i had to get my belly button peirced. That was in December, 10 schools ago." I said, dropping my shirt.
"Well, well, well. Look what we have here girls. It's Hallie Rebekah Renee." somebody said. I whirled around and came face to face with Claudia Smith. Queen of Hamson School for Young Ladies in New Jersey. "What are you doing ehre?" I asked. "I could ask you the same thing. Oh, wait. That's right, you got kicked out. How many schools since September? 50?" Leslie said.
"13, and good-bye. Come on, we still have find that game for Cammy." I said. I tried to walk past Claudia and her little gang, but she grabbed my arm. "Where do you think you're going?" she sneered. "As far away from you as I can get." I said, jerking my arm out her hold. "But we're not finished with you yet." Amanda said.
"Leave her alone." Dwayne drawled. "Who's this? Your boyfriend?" she laughed and so did her little friends. "No. He's her friend." Julie glared at her. "But I doubt you know the meaning of that word, do you?" Claudia glared right back. "Who are you? Hallie Rebekah Renee's bodyguard?" she laughed again.
"Her laughing is like a domino affect." Adam whispered. "I know." I sighed. "First of all, my name is Hallie, and second, I've had enough of your crap for one year. Come find me next year and I'll be ready." I walked away. "Who was that?" Charlie asked.
"That, was Claudia Smith. She's Queen of Hamson School for Young Ladies. The school is in Newark, New Jersey. And it seems to me that every time I start in a new school, she shows up a couple weeks later. Then something goes missing, or something breaks or something like that. Then the missing item shows up in my dorm, or my fingerprints show up on the broken thing or it shows that I was the last person using whatever broke." I sighed again.
"Don't worry. We won't let anything happen to you." Julie said. I hugged her. "Hey Hallie." my cousin Rachel walked over. "Hey. Rach. Whatcha need?" "Nothing. I came to warn you. Claudia's brother's friend, Riley, goes to your school. He's going to talk him into doing something to get you kicked out." she looked around. "I have to go before she realizes I didn't go to the bathroom." "Thanks."
"If it's the same Riley I know;, he won't be doing anything. Because he knows I'll beat the living shit out of him if he does anything." "We better go look for that game." Guy said. "Yeah. We should so I can mail it to them." I smiled. It's good to have friends that like me for me. And who'll stick by you through the good...and the bad.
