Disclaimer and A/N: Hi guys! Guess what? I still don't own RFR and May 14 was my birthday..I is...uhm...13? NO! 12! Yeah! Let's go part-yyy! Or, we can just read the next chapter of The Gold Paper!
Lily's POV
"Alright Lily. The first task is to see if you are good with people, and could easily become a Gold and make speeches and all that junk. SO!" Kim said as she sat on the table, looking at the clock. It seemed like the Gold room was getting smaller and smaller. I felt like I couldn't breathe. Why did I have to be here? Why did I have to be the new girl? "You, Lily, are going to run for Class President. But, so is Ray."
Ray?! I couldn't beat him; that was impossible! Everyone would vote for him.
"Yes, yes. I know, I know. It's impossible. But YOU have to beat him! And when you do, well, if you do, then I'll get some Yellows to do the work. Don't you worry. Well...there is one thing. You aren't going to have anyone on your side...yet. You are going to have to get some people to help you. I DON'T CARE," Kim started yelling as she threw her hands up, "IF IT'S A BROWN OR A PURPLE OR WHATEVER. You just need to win. You can fight dirty if you want. But be warned...I don't like cheaters."
And with that, Kim started walking out the door, leaving me alone with the other Golds.
"Don't worry." Audrey smiled at me. She seemed so nice and so kind. Not like...Kim... "Kim's just a bit bossy sometimes but she's real fun to be around. You just need to get to know her."
"Yeah," added Travis. "Sometimes Kim can be a real rich witch, but you get used to it." Travis seemed more like the quiet type. Outspoken when he need to be, yes, but always keeping his feelings to himself. He was so interesting. I bet a lot of girls like him. He seemed to be really in love with Audrey. I could just tell by the soft look in his eyes.
"Oh yeah. Also, Ray can be bossy too. Don't let him become class president!" Robbie stage-whispered to me. Then, Ray hit him playfully on the shoulder, smirking. Robbie laughed and so did everyone else.
Whoa.
At first, you get the impression that they are like celebrities, really sophisticated and all. But then, once you get to know them, you find out they are really just normal kids. Normal people just wanting to fit in. And I was about to become one of them.
Ray interrupted my thoughts by saying, "Still, she has no chance. She'll never beat me. She's still a stupid newbie at all these things. Watch out honey," Ray leaned into my face, his eyes with this spark in his eyes that made me shut up. "Things might get a bit too painful for someone like you." Then, he stood back up and snickered. I could feel my face turning red. Did he just say I was weak?
I got up and leaned in his face. "I wonder why you even got to be a Gold! You're so conceited! And a jerk that probably even can't get on his own without his loyal fanclub." I spat out the words as I watched his surprised expression on his face, which turned to a smirk. Ray took his hand and put it on my cheek, still smiling.
"I like you. You got spunk." I blinked, and stopped moving. His face...was so close to mine. But, all he did was slap my cheek softly then get his bag and walk out. Everyone else followed him. When they left, I turned around and put my hand to my heart.
I looked out the window and saw them leave. My eyes were fixed out Ray. What is this feeling? Why is my heart beating so fast? I thought nervously. Why am I so excited?
I shook my head. Why would I like that arrogant idiot? As my mind debated whether I liked him or not, I ambled out of the room and went home from my first day of school.
Next Day
I gulped some orange juice down my throat as my parents looked at my in awe. I was eating my eggs in 2 seconds; my toast in 1 and my juice was disappearing faster than the animals that are endangered. So I was in a hurry, what's the big deal? Well, it is a big deal when I have to tell the principal that I wanted to be the class president and get some people to help me. Those Ed and Ted people might help me. I hope.
"So, sweetheart," my father began, reading the newspaper, trying to stare at my eat my food rudely, "How's high school?"
I stop then look at him, my eyes narrow. "It's great." I said with no excitement in my voice whatsoever. I looked at my watch, and then jumped up. "See you mom, dad! I gotta go!" I gave them a quick kiss than ran out of the door.
I hated this. I had to do a bunch of tasks; at least, that's what the Golds said. It was like..6 long, long tasks. Dammit. I thought as I walked in the halls of Roscoe High. I saw Ed and Ted leaning on the lockers, laughing at what I bet is a totally immature joke.
"Hey! Ed! Ted!" I said as I walked over. The stopped laughing and then stared at me like I was an angel or something. "I need a favor. Can you help me become class president?"
"Is that one of the tasks?" Ed asked.
"How did you know?"
"Well, every year, when there is a new girl or boy...they always have tasks. Sometimes they are short and sometimes they are long. Wow Lily. You have it rough." Ted said, opening his locker.
"Rougher than you think. Ray is against me." I said, dully, opening my locker. They just stared at me, with their jaws open.
"Whoa! Kim hates you!" Ted yelled, and some people turned to look. I just glared at the people then turned my attention back at Ed and Ted, as if to ask, What? "Well, you see Lily...usually the tasks aren't THAT hard! I mean...Ray has tons and tons of fan girls." Ed pointed at some girls that were wearing buttons that said I heart Ray. Oh my god...I thought. That's so pathetic.
"You must have done something to make Kim hate you." Ed told me, shaking his head, as if to pity me.
"I didn't do anything!" I screeched. And it was true. I just came to Roscoe High and was picked to be a Gold! Is that my fault?! What did I do?! My mind was sinking with ideas.
"Oh well...it's okay. We'll help you." They put their hands on my shoulders. "You'll win." I smiled at them.
"Thanks guys."
But, my mind was still thinking hard. What did I do to un-please the Queen Bee or Kim? And why was my heart beating when Ray talked to me? I sighed.
I hated High School.
Heh heh. I love this.
Please reply! Reply because of my birthday! Give me that as a present!!!
