Chapter 5:

"Niki! Wake up, we have to be at school in an hour." Blake yelled tugging at the covers pulled tightly around me. I groaned in response and turned away from him.

"Nikita!" He said yanking the covers right of me, before opening the curtains wide.

"Blake!" I screamed throwing my pillow at him.

"We have to be at school in an hour! All your friends are up and gone, why do you have to stay in bed?" He moaned making his way out of my room. Memories came back from last night, I could remember having everyone over and watching t.v, playing truth and dare and doing other pointless things till three am when we all made our way to bed, the girls in my room and the boys in Jesse's. I could remember being distant and distracted, but I wasn't too sure why. I slowly dragged myself out of bed and got ready in the quickest time ever, honestly at forty minutes it should have been a world record.

"Here's a coffee. We're leaving." Jesse passed me my favourite pink travel mug.

"Where's everyone else?" I asked hopping into Jesse's audi.

"Your friends went home like as soon as they woke up to get ready, 'It takes time to look fabulous you know Jesse?'," Jesse mocked in a high-pitched voice, "And Blake just dropped Noel and Mike home, he's got some orientation or lecture or something." Oh right, Blake was at Hollier, he had his first lecture today and knowing Blake he would be a few hours early.

"Do we have to go to school? Can't we go like anywhere else?" I begged Jesse.

"Blake will have my head if I don't get you to school."

"What Blake doesn't know wont hurt him." I tried to persuade Jesse.

"No, it will hurt me!" Jesse turned the radio on full blast before making sure I had everything I needed.


"Hi Nikita, Jesse you have english with me first period, don't be late!" Miss (recently divorced I had learnt) Montgomery came up to us in the hall five minutes before we had to be in class.

"Perfect, you can show me where I'm going." Jesse laughed falling in to step with Miss Montgomery, ech! Perfect kiss ass if you ask me. I took a quick look at my timetable which I had entered on my phone along with the school map, didn't want to look like some geek with my map out, and made my way over to the art wing.

"Class, CLASS!" The teacher yelled, I couldn't quite remember her name, in a final attempt to quieten the class. I had just introduced myself to her and she wanted me to make some lame introduction.

"Thank you, this is our new student Nikita Taylor. Please make sure she feels welcome, why don't you tell us a bit about yourself?" Mrs art-teacher declared.

"I'm Nikita, just moved here from New York and I don't think you guys need to know anything else. Yay Rosewood!" I sang in mock enthusiasm before rolling my eyes and sitting at an empty seat between some guy that smelt like rotten milk and a girl who stared at me the whole lesson, not blinking for a second.

The class went by so quickly that I barely had time to hate art, I felt slightly disappointed when the bell signaled declaring it was time to go to AP Economics.


"Well wasn't that close to torture!" I sighed making my way to the cafeteria with Spencer.

"Just be lucky we don't have Mr Thomas!" Spencer exclaimed taking a seat at an empty table.

"I don't think anyone can be as bad as whats-his-face."

"I wouldn't underestimate the wrath of Mr Thomas." Spencer laughed before blushing as Jesse took a seat next to her, placing a kiss on her cheek.

"Have you been a good girl?" He asked me, probably keeping a detailed report for Blake. Spencer snorted in response and Jesse gave me a look that read 'really Niki? Don't make this like New York'.

"Hay guys." Hanna said as she, Emily and Aria took seats around the table.

"How are you liking Rosewood Day?" Aria asked inquisitively.

"OMG its like so great! The peeps are just so nice and the teachers, so cool." I said in the best fake voice I could manage, causing the group to burst in laughter.

"Come on it isn't tha..." Jesse was cut short by two fake bimbo's approaching our table and shhing him. What the hell?
"Hay Nikita, I'm Lucy, captain of Rosewood Day's Cheerleading team. We would love for you to come to trials today, they're in the gym at four. Between you and me, you have a great chance of getting in." Lucy said in a too happy voice.

"I'd rather slit my wrists." I replied mimicking the same cheer voice. Lucy went to say something else, but thought better of it and danced off with the two other girls.

"Nikita, we get you! I mean cheerleading seriously? But why are you sitting with these losers, come sit with us." Two girls that had appeared in the cheerleader's place asked.

"Naomi, Riley, why don't you just go annoy somebody else?" Hanna asked in a disgusted voice.

"I think Nikita needs the chance to sit with somebody actually sane," The shorter of the two cackled, "I'm Naomi by the way." The one who had made the first proposition had to be Riley then.

"As I said to the other girls, I'd rather slit my wrists. Anyway I'm going to get something to eat, anyone else want something?" I said returning my attention to my friends. Naomi and Riley gave Hanna the evils before sauntering off.

"Niki, be nice!" Jesse warned.

"I'll take that as a no." I said grabbing my Kate Spade Hobo bag. I wandered over to the long cafeteria line and took my phone out of my bag opening a message that had come in moments ago.

Blake:

Dont b a bitch!

I would kill Jesse, I knew he was giving Blake a detailed report on my every move. I threw my phone into my bad and let out an angry humph.

"Someone woke up on the wrong side of the bed?" Mike asked from behind me.

"Waking up did it." I laughed giving him my first smile of the morning.

*BEEP BEEP BEEP*

I took my phone out of my bag expecting some annoying text from Blake, but was surprised to see it was a blocked number.

Unknown:

You've got to the stroke of 12 before one little liars secret comes out. How will Blake feel about you breaking up yet another friendship bitch - A

Who the hell was this A person anyway. I'd better decide between Mike and Noel quick. Glancing at Mike through my thick eyelashes and then at Noel, who was incidentally staring at me from across the cafeteria, I reached my decision.

"Wanna do something later?" I asked grabbing an apple from the extensive range of food.

"Sure, meet me at the King James Mall at four?" Mike suggested.

"King James Mall?" I asked shaking my head.

"How about I meet you at your locker after school and take you?" He asked laughing paying for his sandwich.

"Sounds great." I replied giving him a small wink and walking back towards the table and sending a quick text to this A.

Me:

You happy? I made the right choice, don't ya think? - Nikita.

P.S Don't play games with me, things will get messy.

"What were you talking to Mike about?" Emily giggled. I rolled my eyes and told them we were just catching up after school.

"Noel will be disappointed." Spencer giggled.

"At least she's not stringing two guys along." Jesse smiled. And then it clicked, Jesse and Blake didn't want me to ruin a friendship that they pretended to be this 'A' so I would decide.

"You conniving asshole!" I exclaimed looking dead straight at Jesse.

"Excuse me?" Jesse looked taken aback, probably surprised I figured them out.

"A? Like for anonymous or what, freak?"

"I really don't know what you're talking about?"

"Wait did you say A?" Aria snapped, all the girls were wide-eyed.

"Yes, Jesse decided to give me a little scare, didn't you?"

"What the hell Nikita? I didn't do anything." Jesse said clearly to prove to Spencer he wasn't a jerk.

"It wasn't Jesse, or Blake, Jesse can you give us a moment?" Hanna shooed Jesse off.

"See you at lunch." Spencer asked reaching to give Jesse a kiss.

"Is someone going to explain what is going on?" I asked looking from girl to girl.
