Chapter 7 - Friek in the gym.

The weekend ended and it was finally Monday.Alicia hated Monday's because of so many reasons.English was the first lesson and she was happy.She saw Max and his friends and she remembered the scenario in the gym.She ran past them and went to class.

"Students,you only have one week to opening night,let me see what you have."The teacher said as she sat down.A few people went then it was Layla's turn.She requested to make a special performance before the play.I would like to present a play called"The friek in the gym."Layla said.They started imitating Alicia and everything that happened including the fall.Everyone started laughing and Alicia prevented herself from crying but the tears were flowing like water.She left and Max followed her."Alicia stop."she stopped."What do you want from me Max,to humiliate me and make fun of me because I'm not like you,pls leave me alone and never come near me or talk to me."She said tears rolling down her chubby cheeks."I am not the one who told Layla and her friends,maybe it was Liam or Leo."Max tried to defend himself."You know what,save that story for someone else because I don't want to hear it.She said then left."Alicia."Max uttered to himself.She went to her room and cried her heart out."I was so stupid to believe someone like Max Blake.Amalia and Kira hugged her tightly and tried to comfort her but she was not letting it go.She stayed in her room the be whole day and when it was finally dinner,she got out.When she entered the cafeteria, everyone laughed at her.She tried to ignore it but she was really hurt.She started running out then she felt very dizzy,she then fell down and lost her conscious.Amalia,Kira and Max ran towards her and tried to wake her up.Max wanted to carry her but he was stopped by an angry Amalia."This is your fault,just stay away from her.Amalia told him then slapped him.A few people helped them and they took her to the sick bay."Nurse,help!"Kira was shouting and the nurse immediately came. They laid her on the bed and she had a very high fever.The nurse told everyone to get out but Kira and Amalia refused,she just had to accept it.The nurse checked on her and after an hour,she woke up.She tried to sit but she felt her head was very heavy.Kira and Amalia hugged her tightly not even giving oxygen the opportunity to get it."Guys,I can't breathe."Alicia told them and they moved away."What happened?"Alicia asked."You fainted in the cafeteria."Kira told her while handling her a glass of water."oh that."Alicia looked down and her eyes looked teary.They went to the dorm and she was so tired so she fell asleep.Kira and Amalia promised themselves to bring back that goofy Alicia then they also fell asleep."Good morning students it looks like I am going to change the cast list.Layla and Max,Alicia and Leo,Amalia and Vincent,Kira and Liam and the others followed.Alicia was happy to be removed from Max but not happy to be with one of his friends but she just to accept it,it was better than Max.The bell rang and it was time for music.Alicia had a beautiful voice but no one knew about it because she was the shy type.Layla always stepped into the spotlight and it really bored Alicia.The bell finally rang and she decided to stay a bit longer and play the piano.Everyone left and she was left alone,she put her bag down and started.Max forgot his bag and he went back for it but he was stopped in his tracks when he heard a beautiful voice.He decided to peep and what he saw shocked him, Alicia was having fun dancing, singing and playing the piano.He stood and watched her for a few minutes then Kira and Amalia came.They were shocked to hear her beautiful voice."Whoah!she has an amazing voice and never told us?she is so dead when she gets out of there."Amalia told Kira.They saw Max and just rolled their eyes.When she was done,Max entered and took his bag,he tried to talk to her but she left.

Amalia and Kira praised her then started complaining because she never told them that she could sing.They even started doubting their friendship.Alicia apologized then they went to eat,they were really really starving.Something came in her mind"Did Max hear me sing?"Some people still made fun of her but it was out of her system so it didn't bother her at all.Some people called her "Friek in the gym" and the only gossiped when she was around for her to hear."Everyday was better than the last."she told herself.Math was so boring that she fell asleep and fell.Everyone laughed at her but she was used to it that it even became like a lullaby.Kira and Amalia were supportive and she was glad to have friends like her.She suddenly remembered Skylar and she missed her so much.That weekend she went home and it was amazing because her family made her feel special and amaizing.Another week began and she started liking Monday's for some reason she never understood herself. The name"Friek in the gym was already in her system."Hello Friek?"Layla suddenly remembered her and wanted to annoy her.She let out a fake smile then replied"I am so good."They argued for a few minutes then Alicia got annoyed and left Layla talking to herself.Practice for the play was really fun but seeing Max,Layla and the gang was the boring part."Alicia, can I pls talk to you?"Leo asked her."No,you may not, aren't you tired of teasing me."Alicia told him."I get you are angry but I wanted to tell you that I am not the one who told Layla."Leo said in a convincing tone."Why should I believe you?"Alicia asked.
