Everybody loves diego
Everything has gone from wrong to terribly terrible all week.
Ok, you know what I said about Dawn, Carlizza, Shayna and being too busy
with Elan, Carlos, Harry, and I and the gang being occupied with the
school's winter dance that there'd be absolutely no time for distractions?
Well, it's all a been lie cause, newsflash, it seems we ALL like Diego. Except June of course who's TOTALLY allergic to cool hot rockstar
handsome guys- But well, everybody likes him. The guys think he's cool and
the girls think he's awesome but it's really becoming a big problem for the
EPC and my best friends cause we can't just see him that way. Seems like
we're all obsessed with the obnoxious idea that he's in love with us.
Now, here's how it all started.
Diego'd met me during brunch to talk about classes and stuff and I had to
act like I was a total brainy nerd while totally melting into goo when he sat
beside me. Suddenly, he changed the subject and asked me for my cell
number. I was soooo totally melted when I rattled out shakily. And out
from the blues Shayna popped up and VERY rudely interrupted.
" Oh hey Diego. What's up?"
" Oh hi Shayna. What's up too?"
" Everything's fine. I just wanted to talk to you about something. Things
about Paris for my French project" I gaped at her, totally seething and
giving her the stink eye. She doesn't even offer French!
" Yeah totally. Sure"
" How 'bout lunch at the libraby?"
" It's a date" He said, making her shudder. And just then, bratty Cathy
Walker came over to talk to him, ruining my chances of giving Diego my cell
number. I mean that was a good start, right?
Till Shayna bumped in of course.
I grabbed her hand and dragged her down to the loos for a girly heart-to-heart.
"What was that Shay? I was talking to him first in case you didn't notice"
" Whoa Summer chill out. Besides you didn't meet him first. I did. In
France" I snorted.
" Oh yeah? Who knows if that's true or you made it up? I mean
coincidences don't just happen." Shayna gasped.
" Omigod do you really think so bad of me Summer? How could I make this
up? I mean if I did, Diego won't be playing along with me."
" Oh yeah? Well, maybe he's just trying to be nice to a crazy delusional
girl"
"Oh you didn't just say that? How dare you?!!!!"
" And how dare you cut into our conversation? He was totally gonna ask for
my phone number!" And that guys, was how the crazy boy fight began.
" I mean, you don't need him Shay. You have Harry already. What do you
need him for?"
" He's cute Summer and is so like, totally MY type! I mean you tend to go
for knock-out American nerds don't you?" That, was the height of all
heights of all… Heights of insults considering the fact that it wasn't
coming from Cathy Walker herself who's like the meaniest meanie in the
history of… Meanies!! I blew off the roof.
" There was nothing between Cameron and me! And you have absolutely no
right to indirectly call me a nerd"
" How 'bout a fashion nerd." I frowned
" That's not laying anything back Shayna. I'm not really fighting for Diego
or something like that( Of course I totally am!!!) But it wasn't really nice
to cut right in just when he was asking me for my phone number"
" Well, I'm bound to get jealous, aren't I? I mean, considering the fact that
I've already asked him to the dance!"
" YOU WHAT?" I screamed and lowered my voice to get a hang of myself "
I mean, what as in I'm so normal and not freaked out but when the hell did
that happen? The guy's been here for barely a week now"
" And that, is all the time I need. And guess what?" I totally didn't want to
guess cause the first thing that came to my mind was an image of Diego
kissing her viciously and screaming yes like a maniac in a way that made me
wonder if it was even LEGAL for cool boys to scream.
" He said yes!" She squealed. I couldn't help rolling my eyes. Shayna could
be dumb as much as she's vain. Too bad she's my best friend and I can't
say that aloud.
" Obviously Shay. You wouldn't be so happy telling me if he'd said no"
" What's wrong Summer? You look kinda, sad" She said, peering into my
face all innocent-like. Yeah right. Greatest act of the century. One minute
tiger and another oblivious and the next the 'caring' friend.
" I thought you'd asked Harry Shay. He's your boyfriend afterall"
" You've got to pass up the candy for a chocolate cake Summer" Shayna
said with a wink. That certainly wasn't very nice.
" That's not fair to Harry Shay"
" Yeah right" She smirked " Are you saying that for Harry or for
yourself?"
" What are you trying to say? I mean, Harry's your boyfriend and it's
natural that you should ask him and not Diego. Besides, he's new. Don't you
think he should take time to adjust first" Shayna rolled her eyes in the
total Cathy-Walker-the-extreme-meanie-who-hates-Summer-Scotts-guts
fashion.
" Diego's an exchange student who's been in 'high school' and not in the
hidden jungles of Africa all through his childhood and every other hood he
could get used to. I think, that your problem is not about me ditching
Harry or not given the newbie a chance to 'adjust'. It's about you being
head over heels in love with him and so sad that you might never get a
chance to ask him out. Well, my advice to you is to… Get a hold of yourself
and move on with your life Summer" She said in a small 'affectionate' voice
that didn't ease the hurtful words she was flinging out at me. I resisted
the urge to scream. I'm your friend Shayna! REMEMBER? " I mean you
could ask Cameron. He might still be open cause as for Diego, he's taken" I
glared at Shayna with all the glariest power I could muster and hissed.
" You're so… Despicable Shayna." I grunted and stomped out, feeling a
thousand gazillion times madder at Shayna than I thought possible. Every
drop and crush-its-sis I had inside me faded. I mean, when super meanie
CCP girls tell you that kind of stuff, you lash right back at them with the
most powerful and witty comebacks and walk off as calmly as you could go.
But when it's your BFF, you just gotta sit and mop cause that's exactly
what I did. I sat by the comfort bench donated by last year's graduating
set with the purpose that everyone who sat on it would think of comfort
and relaxation. I don't know if it's just me but the only thoughts I have
each time I sit on that bench is to sit somewhere else. I won't bore you
with the bleak vissicuitudes of the 'comfort' bench though ( And would you
believe me if I say that I don't know the meaning of that word. Look it up
for me when you have the chance will you?).
I was sitting on the bench with my cutesy satchel strapped to my
shoulder, looking out and taking in the lovely fresh autumn air which is not
very fresh when the air was fouled with something even worse than a dead
carcass in hot sun. Well, it was actually the DEADLY stench of a lip-gloss
addicted CCP with fake hair extensions and face and literally everything
to her skin and her idiotic gum-addicted minions. Did you do a quick guess
cause you'd be an idiot not to know who it was. Yeah, that's right. Cathy
Walker and her minions, Jessica and Jenny. They sashayed up to me, gave
me that blasted smirk and shook their fake teeny tiny waists at me.
Jessica and Jenny were chewing on their tenth ball of gum in just one day
while Cathy grabbed her lip-gloss and slobbered like TEN full layers of
ruby red revenge lip gloss that makes Snow White's evil step-mother look
like an angel in comparison.
" Hey there, loser. Where'd you get your jacket? The dumpster?" her
minions cackled witchily while I wondered how THAT was in the LEAST bit
funny.
" Yeah Cathy I don't really have time for your ruckus right now but just in
case you really feel bad that I'm shopping at your favorite mall for my
dog at home then I'll stop. No hard feelings" And that, my dorky friends,
is how you give a smooth comeback. Cathy snarled at me.
" You THINK THAT is witty. I mean wake up girl and breathe the
dumpster aroma around you. Cause Diego would never waste his time on a
total loser like you. I mean loseringeritsis is veeeeeery contagious!" I
smiled and crinkled my brows, knowing how much she damn hates me do
that.
" Oh so that's what all this is about? I mean it's quite weird to see a
psycho attacking an absolutely normal person in pure daylight isn't it?"
Jessica and Jenny The Minions gasped and Cathy went hot red in the face.
She walked up to me and stared down at my face. I didn't want her looking
down at me like a rat so I shot to my feet, grateful for my lankiness and
height.
" You think you're something but you're nothing Summer! Nothing. Nothing
but a PATHETIC, LOW-LIFE, LOSER!!!!! And if I were you, I'd worry about
passing the disease unto someone as cute and gorge as Diego"
" Well then you don't have to worry about trying because you already are"
" Don't talk back when I'm talking!" She growled, stepping even closer that
I could barely breath.
" Why? Who do you think you are Cathy? Just in case you didn't know, I'm
not in the least bit scared of you except for your hideous fake blonde
extensions that looks like they've been through a thousand years in hell
and the fact that I'm standing so close to your hideous garbage lips!" I
shot back. THAT, my friends IS what you call a witty comeback. I could
win a grammy guys! I'm talking serious hollywood witty comebacks as they
come!
However, Cathy only smiled and beamed at me real wide. Sometimes, I
just don't get that girl!
" Aww! Too bad that my love-vee-lee! my curls makes you insanely jealous
but too bad still! I was born beautiful! And how's your little bratty project
coming up? We don't want a terrible homecoming night now do we? I mean
that would be too bad won't it?" I glared at her, trying to read her little
crafty mind. Tough luck " So, keep your toes up! You might never know just
who ruins your perfect little night!" She beamed at me real wide again and
pranced off with her bratty minions. Believe me, Cathy's got something up
her expensive witchy sleeves. I mean, she could be:
• Planning a total destruction to the EPC.
• Trying to create a fallout between us Principal Bradford and probably
plotting to kick us out of handling Homecoming ( Never trust a witch in
heels and designers)
• Or probably trying to shove my head down the toilet and just… FLUSH IT!
OMG! I just HATE that girl! I wandered off to class, trying to ignore the
fact that I'd just been massively insulted by my very own BFF Shayna.
What a nut case!
