Nina's Pov:as Molly & I entered our school, we spotted Nat with my stepsisters. They were drinking some weight-loss drink. What was it called again? Oh, yeah. A onesipdiet shake. "hello. Loser 1 & 2." Nat said to us. "hey, Nat. drinking a Onesipdiet?" I said. "oh, no you didn't." Nat said while staring me down. "Nina. stop this behavior or else we'll tell mom on you & she'll make you work overtime at her dinner." Jonnie said. "yeah. Nina. Cut it." jenny added. "& one more thing, Bax." Nat said to me. & then threw the last of her drink onto me. "you & loser 2 call me Natalie." she then walked off with my stepsisters. I was soaking wet with a diet drink. "Mol. My extra clothes, please." I said to Molly, not turning my head to her but only extending my hand to her. She handed them to me & I ran straight to the girls' bathroom to change.
I later came out wearing a red tee & a bit old pair of jeans. I kept my shoes on because they didn't get dieted. Just then, the bell for my first class rang. & I didn't even have my books! I ran to my locker as fast as I could to grab my books & get to class before I scored a detention. I couldn't afford one since Shannon would ground me if I was even one second late for work at the dinner. But I ran so fast, I ended up bumping into Eddie. & dropped my books. "sorry 'bout that, babe." he said to me. "yeah. Right." I said back, rolling my eyes. Eddie got up. & said, "do you need any help with your books?" I picked myself up & picked up my own books. "no thank you." I said as I turned my head back. "I'm a big girl. I can handle my own stuff." I walked to my class & luckily, I didn't score a detention.
After a few classes, I heard Nat talking to Eddie. "hey, babe." she said. Nat always told herself that if she acted like Eddie's girlfriend, pretty soon one day, she will be. But unfortunately, Eddie kept seeing Nat as one of his fans. "I'm not your babe, babe." he said. "well, one day, you will be." Nat said. The two then began to fight while Jenny & Jonnie grabbed me. "Nina." they said. They held me against some other kids' lockers to talk to me bully-style. Because they saw me with Eddie earlier. "don't do that again." they said. "do what again?" I said. "don't play dumb with us, Nina." Jonnie said. "yeah. We know you have feelings for Eddie." Jenny added. "what?" I gasped. "what are you two talking about? I don't have any kind of feelings for that jerk." I tried to walk off, but my stepsisters brought me back again. "first of all, Eddie is not a jerk." Jenny said. "& second, we could tell that you do by the way you looked in his eyes when you two crashed." Jonnie continued. "I wasn't looking in his eyes." I said, frustrated. "& nobody could pay me a million dollars to do that." "we're warning you Nina. If we catch you even near Eddie again------" Jonnie said.
"------we'll tell mom." jenny continued.
"& you'll be grounded for life." they both finished. "understand?" I nodded slowly. Because there were times like this where I was actually scared of Jenny & Jonnie. They let me go & I went to my other classes.
When we returned home, I had a ton of homework to do. Not just my own, but Jenny's & Jonnie's too. I hate the days when they fall behind in subjects. I'm just surprised they were able to make it to senior year with me. As I began to do the homework, Shannon looked at me. "why aren't you at work?" she thundered. "Shannon, you told me to do Jenny & Jonnie's homework." I said. "no excuses, young lady." she said while pointing at me. "you go to work at the dinner, & that's final!" I sighed & picked up everything before I headed off to my other Job.
When I got there, I was scrubbing the counter when this random girl who was an Eddie fan, came up to me & smacked me right in the face. "OW! What was that for?!" I said while rubbing my face. "for stealing the man of my dreams!" the girl said back to me. "I hope you're happy now!" she then left in a huff. What in the world was all that for? I tried to shake it off & continued to slave away in the dinner. But fans of Eddie just like that girl. Kept smacking me. Claming that I stole Eddie away from them. I was confused big time. "molly. Why are all these girls smacking me & telling me that I stole Eddie away from them?" I said. "I don't even have a liking to that jerk." "well, maybe it's because they think that you & Eddie are dating." Molly said, pointing over to the news stand. It said that I was dating Eddie. I don't even want to be near that vain dork. "how can that be possible?!" I exclaimed. "I don't even like him." Molly went over to the stand & grabbed a paper & opened it. "not according to this baby." she said. "Mol. This is not true." I said as I took the paper from her. "what will we do?"
"I guess we'll just have to ignore it until people stop talking about it." Molly said. But then another Eddie fan came to me & smacked me in the face. "man-stealer!" she shouted before leaving. I rubbed my beyond sore face, looked at Molly & said. "yeah. Like this'll ever be a cinch to ignore." "well, then. I guess we'll have to get some help from Eddie." Molly said. "no way." I said. "do you want to be smacked by obsessive Eddie fans for the rest of your life?" Molly asked as she crossed her arms & raised her eyebrow. I thought about it. "ok. We'll go see Mr. I'm all that." I sighed.
