Hey guys! I love your reviews so thanks so much to all of you! This chapter is dedicated to geepogirl for reviewing three times so thanks!
I have a few exams coming up (spanish, biology and maths) so there wll be larger spaces between posts, but I'll do my best!
Enjoy! (and review!)
Important To Me
I'm sitting at a random table in the library, filling my Biology worksheet with made-up answers when Olivia Ryan plops down next to me.
"Hi!" she squeals, her navy eyes glitter in the light. I raise an eyebrow, "uh hi".
She opens her A&F canvas tote and pulls out the same worksheet. She place sit on the work-bench and ties her hair up in a wispy ballerina bun. "Kristen's at cheerleading practice. You know I tried or the team, but Miss Beal said I was too delicate and frail."
She says it like it's a compliment.
"Anyway, Kristen's really good, have you seen her? And she looks incredible in the uniform. She says it has always been her dream to be on the team, especially as captain. She's wanted to for years."
I snort and look at Olivia for the first time, "That's the biggest bunch of crap I've heard in my life. Kristen once swore she'd never be a cheerleader. It's always been her nightmare, not her dream."
I turn back to the worksheet as Olivia adjusts the hem of her pale yellow skirt on her knees, the crinkled material quivering. "W-well, she's my friend, she wouldn't lie to me. She's really nice and i trust her."
Aww, bless her! Psh. Yeah right.
I sigh and just carry on doodling in answers. Olivia looks at my sheet and frowns, shaking her head.
"No, no, no you've got that wrong. You wrote 'don't care' when actually it's 'damages the system'. Where did you get 'don't care' from, it wasn't even in the answer options."
She is so dumb.
"Look Olivia, I don't even care ok? You do your thing and I do mine. And I'd really appreciate it if you would let me work in peace."
She nods but doesn't move. Twiddling her pencil she says, "did you know that I've never tried alcohol, only at my cousin's wedding when I had pink champagne. I don't because it's harmful, like you learn in Bio."
I roll my eyes and dump my stuff in my bag. Yeah, I would most definitely know about it being harmful.
Olivia grins at me and flashes me a dazzling smile. "See you soon Massie!" she yells, earning a stern look from Mrs Beak, the librarian.
I turn my back on her and walk back to my locker.
She's lucky.
She has friends,
Hasn't had alcohol damage her,
She gets away with anything with the teachers,
Hasn't had alcohol damage her,
She gets invited to parties,
Hasn't had alcohol damage her,
And even though everyone says she's annoying, she still has a high status.
And she hasn't had alcohol damage her
That's definitely the most important point.
At least, to me it is.
