Sorry I haven't updated...I started school today! My first day of grade 10! Please enjoy my chapter...

"I want to apologize for my negative attitude towards you earlier at school."

"Where all listening." Austin says. It's good to know that everyone has my back finally.

"You came here to apologize to us. Right?" Trish says.

"Yeah. That and I was Already eating here and I saw you guys here I felt the Need to apologize."

"Missy, can you just get straight to the point so we can continue eating, in peace." Austin says.

"I'm sorry. I'm sorry what I did today. It was uncalled for and was bullying. I never wanted to be that person."

I say, "I accept your apology. But what do you mean that you never wanted to be that person?"

"I wasn't always popular. I was too bullied once. Does Maniac Miranda ring a bell?"

"You were Maniac Miranda? But I thought your name was Missy?"

"It still is technically."

"What happened?" Austin asks.

"Well, as you know I was the lowest of the lows at school. I was tired of being picked on and treated like dirt so I changed my appearance. I changed my name and started to act different. The girls thought that I was new and you know them, always taking in new students. So I went with it. Sooner or later I became the leader. And it's been like that ever since."

"But, why hurt me if you knew what it felt like to be treated the way you treat me?" I ask.

"To fit in the crowd. If you treat others like they are lower, it makes the clique look better. I never enjoyed doing what I do to you. And I want to change all that."

"What do you mean?"

"Can you give me a chance to get to know you. I never had real friends before and like you said, I never really knew what having real friends that truly care for you. So I want to change that. I knew that the girls aren't my real friends because they just use me." All three of us look at each other in disbelief. But something inside of me is telling me that I should give it a try. Austin shakes his head.

"I don't think..." I look in her yes and see Hope. "...that's a bad idea." Austin gives me a surprise look and so does Trish.

"What are you saying?"

"That you should hang with us at school tomorrow. Ditch the clique."

"I can't just ditch them and go over to you guys and sit with you. That would be weird."

"Would it really? Your only human. The choice is your to take. We'll see how tomorrow goes. See you later Missy." We all stand up and bring our drinks with us. We go in Austin's car and start driving.

"What are you thinking?" Austin scolds.

"What? I'm giving her a chance." I answer.

"You really believe that sob story. She's probably just using it. She couldn't possibly be Maniac Mianada."

"I believe her, Austin. Do you Trish?"

"Hu? Oh, um. I don't know really. It's could be real or fake. I couldn't really tell the way she said it."

"Well, I did." Austin says.

"And I did too. I could see the hope in her eyes. I can tell she wanted to try something different. Meet new people. Have new friends. She actually never had any real friend. When she was Miranda she didn't have any friends. And now they just use her. She wants to have real friends."

"I don't know, Ally. What if she's just trying to get into our conversations. Spy on us."

"Do you really think she would use herself if she was going inside the our group. She'd probably send one if her fake friends. And we've only been friends for a month and a half. Don't you remember now I was when you met me?" He looks at me. "I had no one. I didn't have any friends. I had no confidence. Hell, I don't even think I would be doing this if it wasn't for you."

"Your just going to let her in after all the nasty things she has done to you?"

"It's worth a try right?"

"Fine."

"Where are we going anyways?"

"Oh, we are going to drop Trish off."

About a few minutes later we drop Trish off.

"Bye, Trish." I say.

"Bye, guys." She says to both of us. Austin pulls out of the side of the street and starts to drive.

"Turn up some jams." I say. He turns the radio on and it starts playing Money, money by Lady Gaga. "Lady gaga is my girl." Austin laughs. About ten minutes later I find we are in a very familiar neighborhood. "We're are we going now?"

"Oh, right. I felt that we could finish our homework together, at your place." He parks the car in front of the house. He turns off the engine and takes the keys out. At that moment I realized that there is no stopping Austin from finding out about my foster brother and Cherry. Shits about to go down...
