Bethany POV

I tried to stay awake. I really did. But after after 2 periods and when Dick stopped tossing me notes, I went into drift mode. I have no idea why I would ever sign up for Digital Imaging. It's the most boring class our of the three I've already gone to. Dick is next to me, going ahead of the teacher. Did you know that Dick is a whiz at computers? No, whiz is a HUGE understatement. In the beginning of class, he hacked the principal's email and sent an email to our Digital Imaging teacher, Mrs. Leroy, that her car was towed. Let's just say that class didn't start until thirty minutes later.

Next will be lunch. I hope they have better food than my old school. Right now, I just hope I don't fall asle…

"Bethany!"

I awoke with a start. A face in front of me blurred into focus. Electric blue eyes stared at me making my heart beat faster.

"Aww, you look so cute when you sleep," Dick cooed at me.

I blushed and I looked around. I was still in the computer lab and the class was starting to leave the room to go to lunch. When I lightly rubbed my face, I felt imprints on my cheek.

Dick must have seen my confused look, because he smiled at me and said, "You fell asleep on your keyboard. You have keyboard imprints on your cheek."

"Oh, god. How embarrassing," I mumbled as I gathered my bag and walked out the door with Dick.

"I'll meet you in the cafeteria with Artemis. I just need to drop my bag off at my next class!" Dick rushed off down the hallway.

Okay, I turned around and immediately froze. Where the hell do I go? I decided I would just a group of boys that were walking in front of me. Ten minutes later, when it became clear that the group of people that I had decided to follow weren't even going to the cafeteria, I became utterly stressed and confused. Okay, now what? I sighed and decided I had to do this my own way. I leaned against a set of lockers and closed my eyes. I tried to use the echoey hallways to my advantage and listen to hear where the most laughter and chatter was. Where was the loudest room? I heard lots of talking echoing from around the corner. Perfect!

I turned the corner and ran right into someone, knocking us both back onto the floor.

"Oh, god! I'm so sorry!" I stuttered, looking up while rubbing my forehead. I had knocked into this slim, pale girl with long, straight, blonde hair and a lot of makeup on.

"Hey! Watch where you're-" She stopped scolding. Her harsh blue eyes settled on my face and sized me up before softening and then breaking out into a wide smile, "I'm sorry, where are my manners?" She helped me up and she brushed off her skirt.

Only then did I notice that there were two girls and three boys standing behind her, hands on their hips. Wow, talk about a passé.

"Hi, I'm Kelli Stonebridge! You must be Bethany Ford, the new girl!" She said cheerfully and stuck out her hand at me and I slowly took it. Great, I have been minimized to "new girl."

She pointed to the two girls behind her, one a dirty blonde and another a light brunette, "This is Shelby and Nicole."

They nodded at me, fake smiles plastered on their faces. Kelli, Shelby, and Nicole all had skirts that were even shorter than mine and all three of them had makeup packed on and really long, stick straight hair, like they straightened it everyday. All three had matching sparkly cheer jackets that glittered whenever they moved. They were all holding different Prada bags in their hands.

Then Kelli pointed to the three muscular and good-looking guys who were standing around them. They all had matching football letterman jackets on. "This is Kyle, my dreamy boyfriend," She batted her eyelashes at the blonde next to her who, in turn, gave her a kiss on the lips. Okay, ew. Right in front of me. "And this is Grant and Mike," she said pointing to these two bulky brunettes. All the boys had these huge Rolex watches on them. Geez, how many blondes and brunettes are there here? And how are these people buying such expensive things? They're in freaking high school!

The boys had these sloppy grins on their faces and were looking me up and down. I blushed and shifted from foot to foot, unconsciously pulling my skirt down. Usually, I would feel good about myself when I see guys checking me out, but now, I felt like it was a bad idea to egg them on. They didn't really look like the gentle type, just the type who want to… I don't know… like, sleep with everyone they meet.

I decided to get this over with, "Do you know where the cafeteria is?" I asked Kelli.

She had an amused look in her eyes as she replied, "It's down the hall and to the left," Then she paused, looking me up and down before adding, "We can take you there, if you want."

"I-I think I'm okay," I stuttered, the idea of someone just bringing me there was tempting.

"Nah, let's just take her there. She's cute," Grant said, looking at my legs again. I shifted uncomfortably under his gaze. When he said I was cute, I didn't get the same feeling as when Wally would say that I'm cute. There was some kind of alarm in the back of my mind telling me to just ditch these guys and find the cafeteria myself, but I ignored it.

"Okay, come on," Kelli grabbed my wrist and I flinched, wanting to draw back from her cold hands. Her touch wasn't warm and comforting like Dick's had been.

When we neared the cafeteria, Kelli didn't let go of my hand. The two girls and three boys trailed behind Kelli and I, as we marched our way to the front of the cafeteria to get food. As we passed tables, I heard people whispering and out of the corner of my eye, I could see lots of people pointing at us. I could feel eyes staring at me from all over the cafeteria. Was there something wrong with my clothes? I looked down at my skirt and my blouse. Everything was fine. Were they looking at me and Kelli? Oh God, what did I get myself into? If Kelli and her passé were anything like the popular kids at my old school, then what did that make me? The tag along? The piece of crap that they had to bring to the cafeteria?

After Kelli had basically gotten my lunch for me and carried it over to a table in the center of the cafeteria, I noticed that the whole lunch room had gotten about 90% quieter. There were only whispers now. This is bad.

I picked at my food and was relieved to hear that the talking had slightly resumed around the cafeteria. Kelli and her passé were just chatting amongst themselves, when I could feel another set of eyes staring straight at me. I turned slightly and I accidentally locked eyes with Dick, who was sitting with Artemis across the cafeteria. Artemis stared at me too, arms crossed.

Dick's eyebrows were furrowed and he mouthed "Are you okay?" at me. I nodded and wanted to tell him to get me out of here, but I decided against it, thinking it was stupid. I reluctantly broke from his gaze and turned back to my food. When I looked at him again, both him and Artemis were glaring in my direction. I felt my stomach drop, like I had somehow ditched them and disappointed them, but then I realized that they weren't glaring at me, they were glaring at the chatty blonde next to me who was flipping her hair every ten seconds.

I turned to Kelli and asked, "Why are people staring?"

"Oh honey, it's because you're sitting with us! Haha, just kidding," But I sensed she wasn't really kidding. Then another question popped into my mind.

"Why did you guys do all this?"

"Do what?" She asked curiously. By now, the whole table had turned to listen to our conversation. I could feel Shelby, Nicole, Kyle, Grant, and Mike's eyes bearing into my skull.

"Why did you bring me to the cafeteria, get me food, freaking carry it for me, and then sit with me to eat it? You guys only met me about ten minutes ago."

"Listen, Bethany," Kelli put her hand on my shoulder like she was talking to a little kid, "When I knocked into you in the hallway, I looked up to see this pretty girl. You reminded me of myself and my friends. You even look like us! You have long straight hair, and you wear your uniform like us," I had a feeling she was talking about my short skirt. Then she added, whispering, "And I can already tell that Grant and Mike are taking an interest in you," She raised her eyebrows them.

I glanced back at Grant and Mike and they both winked at me. I shrank back in my seat. I wasn't feeling very comfortable here. I used to be invisible at my old school, and now I had attention pointed at me in all directions. I even had jocks winking at me. I think I miss being invisible.

Stay traught guys! The end of the week is almost here!
