Alison turned so her whole body was facing Clair. She took a deep breath that shook her whole black-clad body. She seemed to think what she was going to say over a few times before she finally opened her mouth to start her story.
"Clair, when you stopped talking to me, I was kind of upset. After the way that Saturday had gone I thought that maybe we would be friends and I would be saved from the loneliness of walking around school alone every day." she took another long, shaking breath "You see, I thought you might change for the better, not worse. Now it seems all you care about is getting your princess reputation back… Clair I know you're better than that." Alison put her hands on her hips and looked at Clair waiting for her reaction.
"But… why would you do that? Spreading rumors is a really bitchy thing to do!" Clair said.
"I thought maybe if you had no one else you would come back to me. I loved when you were being nice to me before. I tried to change myself, even, to try to get you to accept me. But obviously that didn't work. So finally I got fed up of just waiting around and I took matters into my own hands. If no one else would accept you, I think you know I would always be here as a back up." Once again she took a deep breath, seemingly trying to muster the courage of what she was saying. "Then I got the idea to just look around school for more people like me… because you were taking so long to give up and come to me. And that's where these two come in. This is Andee and Justin Rose by the way. Brother and sister." Alison pointed at them in turn.
The girl was Andee and the boy was Justin. Andee may have been pretty, but her face was full of black makeup and white powder. She had a babyish face, much like Justin's. Justin looked like he needed a good work out. He was very skinny and lanky, seeming to be swimming in an overly large black tee that looked like it may have had a band's logo on it, at one point. They were defiantly typical rejects, perfect to hang out with Alison, in Clair's mind. As Alison pointed at them, they started walking towards the two girls, seeming to have been watching them the whole time they had been talking.
"Well, I'm here now." Clair said in a slightly whiny voice "Can we still be friends?"
"See, I don't know." Alison replied "I gave it some more thought and I realized that if the others accept you again, you'll be rid of me in a heart beat. Those two helped me figure out that. And, frankly Clair, I think the other kids will accept you again once one of the other "popular" girls does something as scandalous as you. I'm slightly afraid to become your friend now."
Tears sprang to Clair's eyes. First rejected by her own friends, then rejected by the rejects. Things couldn't get worse, and she thought that they couldn't get better either.
Suddenly someone ran between Andee and Justin towards where Clair and Alison were. He was tall, dressed like some street thug, with long brown hair that was blowing slightly behind him. Clair's heart skipped a beat as she recognized the face of John Bender coming towards here.
Maybe things could get better?
A/N; This one's kind of short… but I want to keep the suspense in it. Aha. So anyways, review it! More soon.
