-ROXANNE'S POV-
A ray of sunshine hit my eyes.
"Wakey wakey lazy bones," said Nat.

"Ngh... what year is it?" I mumbled.

"Wake up, silly! It's 6:38," she said.

Oh dear.
I hopped out of bed and grabbed my trousers and put a sweater over my pajamas.

I threw my hair back in a ponytail and grabbed my stuff.
"I'm ready!" I exclaimed.

Nat looked at me from head to toe.
"Holy chicken nuggets and Chicago hotdogs! You're going out like that?"

I looked at my reflection in the mirror on my wardrobe.
I knew I looked stupid.

"I know I look weird but we're already late so..."

"Babe, no. I will not let an amazing friend like you go out like that. What about Alexa? She'll ruin your life for wearing that," said Nat in a British accent.

Wait.
Did I hear her right?
'Babe'?
'Amazing friend like you'?
She's aware of Alexa?

I regret having these doubts about Nat.

Anyway, she gave me her ripped jeans and green hoodie and told me to leave my hair fly out.

I changed as fast as I could and when I came out, she gave me a thumbs up.
We grabbed a chocolate bar and headed out.

"Bye girls," waved Dad.
"See ya," Nat and I said.

When we reached school, Alexa rushed over to Nat.

"OMG like, you have no idea what just happened!" Alexa shrieked.
"What is it?" Nat asked.

-ALEXA'S POV-
"Okay so. This rumor about Roxy's brother spread fast. And then suddenly, a rumor about an art competition spread faster. And then—" I was interrupted by Nat.

"Yeah sure whatever," she said.

She took Roxanne by the hand and walked to the building.
Whatever.
It's not like I wanted her as a friend, anyway. I don't deserve her.
Maybe I'll make Roxanne's life miserable.
And we'll see what will happen.

-ROXANNE'S POV-
Art competition?
Nat walking away from Alexa?
What's happening?
Maybe I shouldn't ask her about it.
I do want to know more about that art competition.
