This is probably chapters 1 to about 1 and a half of my new story: I’m Rhiannon, an average girl at my school. It’s a pretty small school, somewhere where everyone knows you somehow. It’s also really fun because it’s a private school and we get extra days off. Our school is also very big on its opinions. If you do something really cool like do drugs, you get into ‘The Group’. If you do something really nerdy, it ruins your reputation forever! I have to say I’m fairly hot. I have long, dark brown hair with a slight side fringe, hazel eyes and tan skin. Somehow I get most of the guys, even though I’m not in ‘The Group.’ A lot of them seem to like me because I’m quiet, shy, smart and not a complete show-off like the rest of the girls. Though I seem really cool, I’m not because I’m actually obsessed with video games. That lowers your reputation to about…zero. It all started with the holidays before school starts again. I had this really weird feeling that I would have a falling out with my friends, be in ‘The Group’, and somehow this weird guy from school was going to be a big part of my life. So in the 5th week of term 1, I was invited to a real, 15 year old party, Cathy and Cassie’s 15th birthday. Either they were going to completely humiliate me or accept me, but I doubt it. The theme was ‘Zest’. We had to wear black, white and another colour and we had to look hot or else we were thrown out. I wore a dancing costume from ages ago. It was a black vinyl crop top with a red cheerleader skirt and a white tie. I wore this costume 5 years ago and I’ve lost a lot of weight since so I looked smoking! At the party, everyone looked hot. We looked like we were in a strip club or something! Anyway, I went inside for some water and Cassie, the evil twin, goes “here, have some…um…coke instead.†I took a sip and it didn’t taste like coke, it tasted more like vodka or some alcohol or something, but it was nice. I only had half though because I didn’t want to be drunk. So I danced the night away and went home. The next day at school, Cathy asks me “We want you to be in our group, you know, The Group. It’s so fun we get to do whatever we want! We always act like class angels so the teachers always believe us! Don’t sit with those losers, come with us!†I said okay, and sat with them. My friends Bianca, Beck and Bree walked past and looked at me, absolutely stunned. Bianca was shaking her head in shame, Beck muttered “Should’ve seen it coming.†And Bree nearly punched Cathy. Bianca and Beck held her back and she stopped but she also shook her head in shame. That night, I was on you tube, looking at funny kingdom hearts videos when in the credits, it said, “thanks to videogaming.com.†so I figured I should go on the site. The next day at school, I didn’t do my homework, so I went to the library and finished it. I finished It 5 minutes into recess and the computers were free. So I went on the site. This really weird guy, Dennis, walks in with his friend Dean and they sit down and do their homework. After they finished, Dean walked out but Dennis went over to me and looked over my shoulder. Dennis, the weird guy, is really well spoken. He looks a bit like me actually and he’s kinda cute. Everyone calls him weird because he seems really involved with lessons and stuff. He’s a nerd, but cool. He saw me on the site and walked out. I was thinking “what a ******,†but then again, he’s really wise in video games. Wonder if I should talk to him and see what he knows. This sounds really weird but I thought we were going to play soccer and Dennis was going to be there, that didn’t make sense because Dennis was on the soccer team and I was in Extra PE (for the people who didn’t want to be in sport teams, also lowering my reputation). I go down to Extra PE and I see Dennis there. The coach tells us we’re going to play soccer. Ok, that was weird. I asked Dennis why he wasn’t in soccer and he said he didn’t want to do it anymore, which is fair enough. Next period, Science I think it was, I sat between Cathy and Cassie. Beck gave me a weak death stare. I was listening to the teacher and out of the corner of my eye I could see Dennis looking at me all the time, so I ignored but I cant help but think he’s talking about me. Every lunchtime I do the same thing and usually talk to Dennis about whatever. I think I’ve become friends with this guy but I have to keep up my popularity with Cassie and the rest. What do I do? NB: This is about 0.5% what happened at school 2 years ago mixed with what happedned 5 years ago. Its partially a true story!
