Whitfield High School for Girls

Chapter 11

***Saturday***

I groan when my alarm goes off at 5:45. I hurriedly turn it off and get up and into the shower. Afterwards, I change into my black skinnies and my favourite turquoise T-shirt and pull on my black Tomy's.

I brush my hair but leave it loose and then brush my teeth before grabbing my wallet and phone and shoving it into my pocket and heading down to wake Dizzy and Jaime.

Dizzy is ready in her blue jeans, bright yellow shirt and white takkies. Her hair is in a high ponytail and she has put light makeup on.

"Do you need help with your makeup?" she asks, grabbing her phone and purse.

"Nope thanks. I'm allergic to most kinds and since I wear makeup most days to school I decided to give it a rest." I explain and she shrugs.

We get Jaime who is wearing black leggings and a pale blue T-shirt with black pumps and her hair is loose. Her makeup is light and she has her phone and wallet also in her pocket.

"Let's go!" she says eagerly and charges down the staircase.

We laugh and follow her.

We grab the others from the Hall and then sign out at the office before getting on a bus, mostly filled with Grade 10's. They all fall silent as Tasmin, Danni, Dizzy and I get on. I glance at them amusedly. They are all quiet until we sit down near the back then the noise level starts up again.

Tasmin and I laugh at them. "I can't believe that they actually treat us like that! We are only a year older." Tasmin laughs.

"I think that's why they keep quiet, we are older." I say but start giggling.

"I'm so happy! We get off school grounds for a while! Yay!" Jaime says, flopping down beside us.

We carry on laughing, trying our best to smother it but not succeeding.

"What are you two snickering about?" Ayesha asked as she sits down by us with Danni and Dizzy.

"The fact that they kept quiet when we got on." Tasmin explains as I finally manage to stop laughing.

"Okay then." Danni says and they start up their own conversations.

"Hey guys! Check there." Jaime says suddenly and points out the window.

"Where?!" Danni and Ayesha demand.

"All I see are a bunch of boys." Dizzy says.

"Exactly! Boys! It's go time girls." Jaime starts and gets off with Ayesha, Danni and Dizzy.

Tasmin nods excitedly but I glance sceptically at her. "What?!" she asks indignantly.

"Have you never seen a guy in your life?" I ask, raising my eyebrow at her.

"I have! It's just that it's been a while since I can actually scout out good looking guys and date them and they aren't related to my friends or me! So sorry if we can't all be grounded and not really care about boys like you!" she says angrily and turns to flounce off the bus.

I grab her arm and pull her back around. "What do you mean I don't care about boys?" I say trying to keep calm.

She glares at me. "You don't think about boys and you don't care about them and how they look at you! You are oblivious to the fact that all boys want to fuck you but you just ignore them AND that you can ride horses but your schoolwork doesn't suffer!" she spits at me and I drop her arm in shock.

"What the fuck!" I say slowly. "Why the fuck would you think that?"

"It's true. You are the prettiest and all boys want to fuck you and date you but you are so...ugh...so...fucking good that you do sports and schoolwork perfectly and don't think about boys! I fucking hate you and the fact that everybody thinks you are so fucking fuckable and they love you."

"Well! Sorry we can't all be... I'm not going to finish that thought because then..." I say and push past her to get off.

"Fucking coward." she says as I get to the front.

I spin around and walk toward her. "Say that to my face and then you can call me a coward." I say slowly.

She looks at me, lips pressed together. "I thought not." I say with satisfaction and get off the bus and join the others.
