I know I said I wanted to have new friends but I didn't expect it to be this...
what's the word? Exhilarating. So a new gist.....I got this new nickname Babe and am pretty sure it is going to stick with me even beyond high school. Truth be told I love my new friends but I hate that they will call me by a name I do not like, after all, they got to choose their own nicknames. Imagine that Rhyme's real name is Adelaide, what a faker! There seems to be something Simon is not telling me about his life at Duncan high. My friends were so excited to see him and it seems like he was really popular even more than he will like to admit and that sucks. Angie even said that being related to Simon will get us an invite to all the cool parties happening this semester. I could not believe my ears when I heard Angie say that. So the bottom line is I know something is up with all the Duncan high upper echelon of a thing. Something is wrong with Simon and am going to find out what. He said something about a girl named Mercedes and that she was the most popular girl in his class who wanted to go out with him. Angie also mentioned that Mercedes is Kim's sister and Kim herself said she was going to avenge her sister. Uhn!My brain hurts.
Let me tell you what went down at blue heavens. Simon dropped us there and said he was going home to rest because he "suddenly" developed a headache. We asked if we could have free drinks and snacks, he promised to call the guy on the counter. Guess who we ran into at the lounge? Kimberley McAdams or as she calls herself Queen Kim. She was with the entire class. It kind of worries me to think that Disney would talk about not liking being bossed around by Kim behind her back yet she hangs around her like her puppy. It's even more pathetic that she is a very smart student and also the class representative. If anyone, she deserves to be in charge. Of course, Kim made a fuss about me being supposed to be part of the meeting and said that is the reason I will never fit in. Angie and Rhyme stood firmly beside me and Kim made a joke about finding new minions. It wasn't a very funny joke though. Apparently, Rhyme bragged about us being on our way to the upper echelon and by "us" I mean me, Rhyme and Angie. Kim laughed at Rhyme. She wasn't so wrong to laugh at her as I could also agree that it's funny. Then the unexpected happened when Angie mentioned that Simon was my brother and that Tania was my mum. I have never seen her been this angry before. She looked so hurt, her eyes turned red and tears threatened to fall out of her eyes. She wobbled a bit while coming near me and said that the battle line had just been drawn between us. Of course, I have heard this sentence in a different context and at different times but this time she looks dead serious. Hmm! Hectic.
UPDATE: Waiting for the self-incurred wrath of the meanest high school queen in history.
XOXO: Babe.
P.S: I have decided to accept the name Babe in good faith.
