❣Friend Stealers❣ I walked past Lauren and Keara, desperate to yell something mean in their faces. I walked on, already late for Textiles. I walked into the Art Block and up the stairs, into the classroom. "Sorry I'm late, Miss Samuels," I said. She nodded at me and I took my seat next to my best friend, Alice. We got out our designs and sat at our desks, sewing and chatting happily. "Lauren and Keara gave me evils," I told her. She didn't look surprised, they had been doing this since nursery school, and we both have no idea why. "Those b*tches! They think they are so great with their Graphic Design folders and their big hair and white teeth," She replied. In a way, she was right. But a part of me was jealous of Lauren, and Keara for that matter. Their lives were so great, the only thing that they totally despised was us and cold weather (this was because they are overly tanned!). We sat at our desks, still sewing our materials onto our projects. "At least they didn't take Textiles!" I said this to try and lighten the mood. It didn't work. ~<>~<>~<>~<>~<>~ The bell rang and we left the room, arm in arm, still chatting away happily. We were happy. That is, until Lauren Daniel and Keara Sam came along. "You know, Lauren, I think Alice and Jemma should sit with us at lunch today," said Keara. "Me too," agreed Lauren. Me and Alice looked at each other. "Umm. We already have plans," I told them. They looked shocked, like we didn't have life. "Plans?! Plans to go stuff your faces with chips and drink cans of Coke like common folk?" She said. Everybody who didn't go to St. Jonathan's School were referred to as 'commoners'. This was because we went to a private school. Well, me and Alice were referred to as 'common', as well as being called 'friend stealers'. We didn't understand this name, but, then again, who can understand that Labyrinth of a head that Lauren has? "Yes, actually," Alice said, proudly. She held her head high and tugged on my arm. "Come on Jemma, we're leaving!"
Interest.... It needs more details and for some reason at the beggining it felt as if you repeated words too much and progressed too quickly.... But we all do that eventually. Anywhoooo, I'm curious about what's going to happen and the title, I'll give you that. Update soon!
Me and Alice walked out of the school gates and towards the chip shop. The shop was right opposite the school but it felt like it took forever to get there. "Never mind them. They're just jealous of our amazing diet," Alice told me. "Yeah," I agreed. I couldn't help but feel that what they said was somehow true. I didn't really like stuffing my face with chips. Not at all! When we go to the chip shop, I only ordered a small portion of chips, and instead of a can of Coke, I bought a small bottle of water. "You're not fat, you," said Alice. I didn't feel like replying, so I nodded my head. I got colder and colder as we reached the school gates, and began to rain. Both of our shoes were ripped, so we couldn't run! We just carried on walking at our normal speed.
We got back into the school about five minutes later, sogging wet and freezing cold. We cuddled together on the steps in one of the corridors, shivering our bums off! The chips warmed us up slightly, but we were still drenched when the bell rang for science. I sat at the bench at the very back, reading the textbooks and getting on with my experiment quietly. Standing by the bunsen burner really did warm me up a lot, but Keara and Sam were in my class, and Alice wasn't. Keara stuck to Sam like a magnet, they wen't everywhere together, but Sam always had some quiet time in the Boy's bathroom at Break, just to get away from her. I thought of poor Alice and the worse pain she had to endure with Lauren and Daniel in her class, another inseparable couple. I longed for a boyfriend, I had my eyes on Daniel until Lauren saw me staring at him and claimed him for herself. This made me depressed, I didn't come into school for a week! "Class dismissed," exclaimed Miss Hussain. I quickly grabbed my bag and scurried out of the classroom. I waited by Alice's locker but, to my dismay, she didn't show up! She had never forgotten to meet me at the end of the day! Never!
Friend Stealers. That was their new nickname. I stayed up crying all night long when Alice told me. She walked home with Lauren, Daniel, Keara and Sam and then slept round Lauren's into Saturday! Gaaaah! I couldn't believe what I was hearing, and you wanna know what I was hearing? "She's really fun once you get to know her, Jem! She really is," said Alice. How could she say that?!
I mean seriously?! Lauren?! Of all people! LAUREN PERRY! LAUREN PERRY?! I didn't go into school on Monday, or Tuesday, and I went home at Break on Wednesday. It was tourture. They were actually talking to each other and sitting together at lunch! Alice even said she might change to Graphic Design and leave me with Death Breath in Textiles!
