Chapter 16 - Popularity

Being Popular, one of the key words engraved in every high schooler's head. That, along with getting good grades and making good friends. High school is half about having fun, making tough and rough decisions, going to parties and enjoying what you call the year of freedom though many students also put as the most difficult part of teenage life.

Many teenagers become popular during highschool. Some for the good things, some for the bad things and some not at all.

Well Madisyn Hall Langston's category couldn't be placed in any of those three you see because she was not the good not the bad but the ugly.

She was the trash of Brookeville High. The one student everyone hated, ignored and dreaded. Why? No one bothered to know, one story was enough to get you believing, what's the use of seeing anyway.

Teachers barely cared about what happened with the teenagers in the school as there have always been students with trouble so what happens stays with the teenagers and the teachers mind their business.

" Out of my way jinxed one", a blonde boy yelled at Maddie as he chased another blonde boy down the busy hallway and that was enough to alert everyone that the jinxed one had arrived at school.

The crazy noisy hall turned down as some either gave space for her to walk pass, deserted the hallway or turned her to their subject of gossip.

She came to school with Julianne but Julianne had longed disappeared with her other group of friends. They were sisters but popular for different reasons, being Popular was the worst to Maddie, she didn't ask for popularity but she got it and some of it had to do with Julianne's outburst at school one day.

Maddie finally reached her locker amidst the subtle stares she was getting as she breathed out even though they were still staring at her and she could feel it.

She placed her thumbprint on the verification button and it clicked accept. She pulled the small door open and began to arrange inside, collecting the books she would need and keeping the book she had brought from home in it.

Afterwards she took out her history text book, undoubtedly they were having history today and they would be getting a new history teacher. She just couldn't wait to pass that class, she and history were never going to merge at all.

Maddie wasn't one of those students with good grades, how could she have a good grade if she had all this negativity around her, how was someone supposed to study with this kind of environment. She was the average type of student with no specific perfect grade.

Whilst arranging her locker, she noticed a brown small envelope lying at the corner. With furrowed brows, she picked it up and felt the content in it, it was like a small bottle, who put it there?

Curiosity got her and she opened the envelope only to find a small bottle indeed, it was a nail polisher. Well she knew nothing about this golden colored nail polisher but it was an adorable gift.

She stared at the envelope with brown inquisitive eyes but it was just blank, no address to anyone but it was in her locker. There was this unsettling feeling inside her tummy but she pushed it back thinking that it was just the feelings of this morning resurfacing again.

Nothing could be wrong about the nail polish, it was just a nail polish that seemed to appear in her locker. She would have to change her verification code so as to stop this person from shoving things in her locker.

With a determined face, she threw the nail polish into the nearest basket as she closed her locker and walked away from the now gossiping students in the hallway.

The bell rang out loud causing Maddie to stop in her tracks. Soon afterwards a voice came from the intercom. " Please listen, all Brookeville High's Senior students please head to the auditorium for the morning assembly", the voice said bluntly, soon enough the hallways became busy as every senior started making their way to the auditorium including Maddie.

" Does that look like a job well done Ethan?", Liam asked with that annoying smile on his face as Ethan sighed tiredly. He had arranged this painting for the twentieth time yet Liam still thought it was not a job well done.

" Did you just sigh?", Liam asked with the smile still on his face as he got up from his seat at the dining table abandoning his meal and walking towards Ethan.

" I didn't sigh", Ethan answered quickly not knowing if to be scared that he did something wrong because the vampire never changed his smiling expression. He stood up immediately from where he was squatted on the floor but clumsily the huge painting in his hands slipped and fell off crashing on the tiled floor.

Liam's eyes widened as well as Ethan's. " First Scott and Jonie destroy it now you are taking your frustrations on the painting Ethan, what did it do to you?", Liam asked stopping in his tracks as the small human immediately shook his head, no words coming out of his mouth.

He had been sitting there for almost thirty minutes trying to put a damaged painting back on the wall only to fail miserably and be reprimanded for it.

He wished he had stayed in school, if he had then he won't be stuck here with a creature of the night, what if it decides to feed on him.

" Allow me..... to have a new one..... placed on the wall, Sir Liam", he said in a shaky voice but Liam's eyes just remained the same before his entire face returned back to his smiling form.

" Why don't I replace the painting myself", he suggested. " I'll be out for a long while so you can't fall asleep till I'm back understand", Liam said as he started walking away from Ethan for Ethan to nod and run after him just in time to see him get inside his car and drive off.

All it took was one dumb history assignment to make him live such a life, he really should have stayed in school.
