A/N: I just want to say, the drama in this book doesn't come in till the 5th/6th chapter so bear with!
Chapter 3
*Brittany's POV*
Tick. Tock. Tick Tock.
I was sat in English, dying of boredom and watching the tiny hand of the clock skip around the edges speedily. It was the last lesson finally, only been day one and I'm already bored. It was good to see my friends and have the small paparazzi follow me for the school magazine though. We're meant to be writing an essay about some Charles Dickens book except that me and Kirsty were to busy whispering about the new Urban Decay Naked palette that I have no clue what to write.(Incase people are wondering, makeup brands have now done versions of their makeup for animals) I think the teacher can see it as well. She's been looking in my direction for a little while now, she'll do her work or whatever she's doing on the computer but she always looks dead centre in my direction briefly. It's not just me that wasn't listening though, I saw Taylor with Maddison giggling to each other. Alvin and some boy named Tyler were also gossiping, no surprise there, probably about some sport or whatever guys like these days.
I have to say, it's strange seeing familar faces from your elementary school back in your classes; I haven't seen William, Gemma, Alvin and Elsa for years. They've all changed a bit. I don't exactly care for them anymore anyway, for all I care now they're just random people that I knew. Why is this lesson taking so long? For gods sake, even Kirsty knows what to write. How? She was speaking to me as much as I was to her. She must either one, be pretty smart or two, she's just rambling on about something that isn't anything to do with what we're actually writing about.
After a thousand years, the bell finally went, screaming that school was finally over. Before Miss. What's her face could speak to me, I grabbed my bag and jogged up to Kirsty's shoulder just so I could get out sooner, and so she could actually hear me speaking instead of being 100 metres below her.
"What do you reckon? Should I have a party with a sleepover for my birthday or not?" she asked.
"I think you should, it's your 18th, a milestone. But if you want my advice, have a party however when you have a sleepover, only invite you're closest friends since you won't want random people that you don't really speak to staying round yours. It'll be strange"
"You literally give the best advice ever. In that case I'll have a party. Although I'm close with everyone in the popular circle so that's going to be a huge sleepover. How about us two and everyone else go shopping nearer the time, for party outfits?"
"Sounds like a plan. I saw some of the unpopular people at break earlier and it actually made me thankful that I'm one of the likeable popular ones. Like imagine being on your own like all the time?" I said - I may be one of the top people in the school but I genuinely feel sad whenever I see someone on their own.
"I'd probably cry all the time" Kirsty laughed
After a long, detailed convosation about her birthday, I climbed off her shoulder and we exchanged our goodbyes so I could go meet my sisters at Jeanette's locker since it's literally next to the exit door. They're probably going to be pissed that I'm late...again. It's the normal routine: I'm in a lesson and I end up talking to someone for half hour, or I'm put in a detention. In the distance, I see them both huddled round Jeanette's locker
"Guys!" I call
They smiled and started to head towards me. I'm glad Jeanette has finally stopped moping, it seemed like she missed school since she couldn't learn and because she's Matilda and has read all her books. Linking their arms, we headed out of the school, there was a slight breeze and a bit cloudy. Thanfully, the sun was still out though and sent out warmth.
"How was your day? Do you like who's in your classes?" Ele asked us
"Kirsty's in my lessons luckily, there's a few decent people and some that I couldn't care less about"
On the way home, we all spoke about our days. Funnily enough The Chipmunks where in our classes, Alvin was with me, Simon with Jeanette and Theo with Ele. Like I said earlier, it's strange seeing people you knew from of us have any interest in re-developing a friendship, times change and we've all changed. Alvin still seems like an annoying, arragant ass though.
Every day after school, we always go in to Target to get candy or something, it's a routine we've done ever since joining West Eastman High. The cool breeze hit us as we stepped inside the shop. Some people whispered, probably because we were still famous, our new music video comes out soon actually. We had a few people come up to us as well, asking for autographs.
"Okay, we're going to spend 20 minutes meeting people but then we really need to get our stuff then leave, sorry for the lack of time" Ele said apologetically.
Meeting fans are the best. It's so crazy how people say how much you help them and you never realise. Some fans actually get us gifts when they meet us which is so sweet. I find it adorable when fans cry when they meet me, it's just so surreal that they're crying because they're meeting their idols me. I never knew that I would ever impact someones life so much. After 10 minutes, half time, my arm started to ache. It's hard signing autographs when you're only 8 inches in height. Sure, we have chipmunk sized pens now but we have to write enourmously big so our human fans can actually see the writing. More often we're going to have to do meet and greets around town, just planned because I look like a hot mess - barely any make up and my hair looks like a giant cheesey puff.
"Bye guys, we love you all" I called out, blowing kisses to everyone
Finally, we got to the candy/chips section. I'm glad because I haven't actually eaten since the first break which was at 11am and now it's half 4. I got a 'Cookies N Creme Hersheys', Eleanor got a whole box of Twinkies as well as Reeces Cups and Jeanette got a tub of Rainbow Nerds. Funny how she's in love with nerds and that's what she is, no offence to her.
We got home at last at around 6pm, good timing as well because Ms. Miller was serving up dinner. She made lasagne, I saw the disappointment in Eleanor's face though because I know she loves to help with the cooking.
"Sorry Eleanor. I know how much like you cooking with me however I had no clue what time you'd be back and time was getting on so I made dinner."
"Our fault Mr. Miller, we should've let you know what we were doing and why we took so long" Jean said sensibly
Throughout dinner we made small talk about our day, all of us seemed to enjoy it. I would still much rather be at home or going out with my friends rather than being at school but it was bearable atleast. The lasagne was good, but when Eleanor is the one to cook it tastes spectacular. The cheese was slightly runny, it slid around the plate like it was running down a river and the beef was burnt slightly. Atleast it was still edible.
"Miss. Miller, may I be excused? Oliver wanted me to call him at 7" Jeanette asked
"Of course my lovely, I'm sure one of your sisters will bring up your pudding"
Oliver is Jeanette's boyfriend. They've been together for 8 months now. I personally think he's a dweeb plus I feel he's trying to change her/. I love Jeanette being shy and amible nonetheless he wants her to argue and wear tight clothes, like some of the mannequins at school. I'm sure I'm overthinking him though, I'm a protectivce sister. Miss. Miller made chocolate cake, 2 layers wit white chocolate buttons on top. She may not be the best at cooking actual meals but she's absolutely amazing at cooking deserts. Eleanor must get her amazing bakery skills from her.
Taking Jeanette's bowl of cake, I walked upstairs, ready to have a long awaited bath. I grabbed the 'Think Pink' bath bomb from lush, got to love that shop and I also grabbed 'The Comforter' bubble bar. My bath was a pink dream. I smiled, knowing that this bath is going to pamper me so much.
A/N: This chapter was so bad...sorry!
