AmAzEd: Yup, I remember you. Thanks :)
"No one told me there was a new girl!" a girl of about eight with long brown hair exclaimed, jumping up from the sofa, a skeptical look on her face as she examined me.
A girl around my age with her blonde hair in a ponytail looked up from the game of cards she was playing with a boy with a dark afro, "we did try to tell you Jody," she began to explain and Jody shot her a rude glance.
Carmen once again found it necessary to step in, "yeah, you just never listen Jody," Jody scowled at her, making her way over to Carmen.
"I do!" she shouted, her beady eyes piercing upwards into Carmen's.
"She does," the afro boy looked from his card game, finding it necessary to butt into the argument that was taking place just as if I didn't exist; that was better though, wasn't it? "She's listening to you right now," I rolled my eyes at the ridiculousness of this argument,mummy said these type of people were insignificant, below us; that's why she took me to a private, all girls, boarding school for several years, until she couldn't afford it. I'd asked her why she couldn't pay anymore, but she never provided me with a straight answer, always bickering on about the 'damn economy' and then I attended the local school. It was the polar opposite of my previous school, yet I enjoyed watching the fights, the bitch wars, romance dramas, gangs, the druggies behind the art block; it was as if I was living in a high school drama show, full of excitement. No one dared point a toe out of line at the boarding school, this tired me immensely. Some of the girls there were too focused on school work to bother with friends and no one even considered sneaking out to the all boys down the road. Of course there were the group of girls that acted as if they owned the whole establishment, well Camilla's dad did; Camilla was the leader of this gang, she was stuck up and snooty, her head always higher than the clouds, even them were below her. Then there was Angel, she achieved perfect grades and had the perfect 'angel' smile, yet anyone could guess it was utterly fake. Hannah was the new girl, she had barely been at the school for a week, before she was accepted into this little 'gang'. Hannah had vanilla blonde locks, shimmering aquamarine eyes and a perfectly tanned complexion; pretty much every idiot in the school aspired to be her. Then there was Mandy, crafty, clever, yet her grades didn't at all reflect that, she had dark brown hair and brown eyes and there was a rumour lingering that she'd snogged Hannah behind the enormous oak tree once. There were even rumours that the two of them were dating, however I didn't see much truth in them as they ignored one another ever since the rumours began. Then Mandy left, according to Camilla her mother had claimed it was family issues, something involving Melissa, the geeky, quiet girl, who no one had even known was her older sister. Then a few months later, I left. Thank goodness. The local school was hard to adjust to at first, however I came to enjoy it much more than the boarding school, I had a friend - Georgie, she had auburn hair and chewed gum constantly, despite the school's ban of it, in fact none of the rules seemed to apply to her, or anyone really. In this school, the students did really run the show.
"Tyler that's hardly the point," Carmen rolled her eyes, her words pulling me from my memories.
"Yes it is," Tyler began, completely discarding the card game for the argument, I caught a look of disappointment in the blonde girl's eyes as he got up - there was something going on there, that was for sure, "you just can't accept that you've lost this argument," he grinned, turning to high five Jody.
"Typical, immature," Carmen rolled her eyes, gesturing at the blonde girl, "come on Tee, let's go somewhere where there aren't immature idiots," she grabbed Tee by the wrist and pulled her out the room and I couldn't help but notice Tee's glance back, her glance back at him - Tyler. Then it hit me. Carmen had left me here, as much as she irritated me, I felt safer with her beside me, right now I felt like the elephant in the room.
"So you're the new girl," Jody grabbed my attention once again, I curtly nodded my head, "I'm Jody," she grinned up at me, "don't worry about Carmen, she can be really annoying sometimes."
"You're the most annoying person here," a boy a little older than me, (a year at most) with a brown spiked hair, spoke up, "everyone knows it," he exclaimed and I could feel the tension brewing as the two of them got up to face one another. This time everyone looked up, including the blue hair girl.
"Say... that... again," Jody growled, the words tumbling from her lips and I doubted it'd be long before a full blown fight erupted between the two of them.
"Are you deaf or something?" Johnny laughed, glancing behind him at the other kids, presumably for support. He received nothing more than gaping mouthes and intrigued stares.
"Johnny, Jody calm down," a dark skinned girl of about fifteen discarded what appeared to be her homework, back onto the table and got up, walking over to the two of them, ready to restrain Johnny.
"Oh well done, Faith," the blue hair girl tossed her pool cue to the ground and leaned back against the pool table, folding her arms, all eyes in the room were on her, but I guessed that's just how she liked it, "you've ruined it before there's even been a good fight," Faith rolled her eyes at the girl.
"Elektra I don't need you stirring up tension as well," Elektra rolled her eyes, glancing across at the brown hair boy across the pool table, "look at the new girl, she's been here twenty minutes, yet all she's seen is arguments!" every eye in the room was once again on me and certainly wasn't anymore enjoyable than the previous time, "it's not giving a very good impression is it?"
"It's giving a realistic one," Elektra spat, the corners of her mouth twitching up into a smirk. Elektra walked down the room towards me, only stopping until she was inches away from me, "enjoy your stay, Victoria," she spat, then it hit me; I recognised that face.
"Enjoy yours, Mandy," I whispered back, fighting back a smirk at the expression I could only describe as fear light up her eyes.
