Chapter Seventeen
Elena’s pov
Everyone was staring at me.
That was the first thing I realized when I got to school.
And the worst part was that they didn’t even try to hide it. It was so obvious from the way they stared at me and talked amongst themselves.All content © N/.ôvel/Dr/ama.Org.
Some were even looking at their phones as I walked into the busy hallway filled with students.
I glanced nervously at them, adjusting my bag on my shoulder and hating the attention I was getting.
This rarely ever happened, and I’ve never been the talk of school before and I didn’t know how to react.
“Or could it be that they found out that I am Diamond Foxx?” I tried not to imagine it.
I glanced at my phone and wondered if there was anything that I could notice, but as usual, I wasn’t on the group chat and I was honestly starting to regret not joining.
A few students bumped into me on my way to my locker and I shrugged it off and I reached for my lock.
“It’s her right?” A girl whispered from beside me, as she talked to another girl who had her eyes on me.
They quickly looked away and I was tempted to go over to them and ask what was up.
But the last thing I wanted to do was draw more attention to myself.
I heard noises and shuffling from behind me and I looked to see Vee running through the hallway as she pushed past students before appearing in front of me breathing heavily.
I raised an eyebrow at her as she tried to calm herself and speak and I rolled my eyes.
I was mad at her for ditching me at Tisha’s party so I faced my locker and she grabbed me, shoving her phone in my face.
Fight almost breaks out as Liam and Mac fight for a girl.
Last night, during Tisha’s home party, a student whose name still hasn’t been identified due to being a nobody at school, was dared by someone to kiss the Captain of the savage brothers, Laim.
Unfortunately, it seems she has earned the interest of Mac and he is seen grabbing her and leaving the scene.
It’s no news that Liam and Mac have been at each other’s throats since freshman year but this is the first time the two of them have ever been interested in a girl.
But the real question today is, who is this mystery girl?
I gasped in school as I scrolled down and realized there was nothing else to read.
“What the hell is this?” I snapped and Vee shrugged.
“I don’t know, you tell me. Everyone says Laim had taken interest in you.” She said as she took her phone from me and scrolled down through the comments.
“This is absurd, Liam doesn’t even care about me like Mac, it was just a stupid game and everyone knew that.”
“It’s not even newsworthy. And they call me a nobody at school. Well jokes on them, I’m a member of the swim club and I’ve won a lot of medals for the school.” I said quickly before breathing loudly and slamming my head against the lockers.
“Calm down. It’s just stupid rumors and it will pass before you know it.” Vee said as she rubbed my back and smiled sadly at me.
“Why didn’t you come to the party? If I remember, you were the most excited about it?” I asked as I turned to my best friend who frowned.
“pinky-pinky, she’s been getting sick lately. I think it’s because of the cold coming.” Ves said and I took her hand in mine.
“She’ll be fine, don’t worry,” I assured and she smiled.
“So you spent the night at Mac’s?” She teased as she wiggled her eyebrows at me and I scoffed, snatching my textbooks from my locker.
“Yeah. It wasn’t a big deal. Nothing happened.”
“Are you sure?” Vee giggled as she teased me once more and I twisted my face in disgust.
“Ew. What? No. That’s disgusting. He’s the school player.” I said irritatedly as I visualized myself having sex with Mac.
“That’s what makes this hot. Just imagine him squeezing your tits and pounding into you.” Vee said and I slammed my locker and started to walk away.
“I’ll see you at Calculus,” I said and I heard her groan behind me as she struggled to get her books too but I walked past the students and went to my class.
I was grateful for the silence of the class seeing that everyone was still at their lockers, gossiping and talking about God-knows-what.
Unconsciously, the image of Mac grabbing my tits flashed in my mind and I slammed my hands against the table. Fuck you, Vee, for brewing that image in my mind!
“What’s wrong? What are you thinking of?” I heard a voice say and I looked up to see Tisha and the rest of the hottest girl’s group walk into the class.
Now, if there was anything that never happened to me, it was having Tisha talk to me.
You see, the school was divided into two. Popular, this was where people like Mac and Tisha came in.
And then the other part, The Losers. For people like me who held no significant role in school, whose life was surrounded by school, homework, and sleep.
Well except for night times, where I know I have to switch characters and do my business.
Wait a minute, I haven’t been to the clubhouse in days!
I began to imagine what my boss would make out of this, or what Mr. Billionaire would do about it too.
Anyways back to enlightening you guys on the high school crap.
And it was like a rule, that the popular never spoke to the losers. They never associated with us, and the difference was clear.
So having Mac talk to me was one thing, but having Tisha, leader of the hottest girls in school talk to me was another whole freaking thing.
“Uhm.. nothing,” I said nervously and I looked at the other two girls behind her who wore matching almost revealing outfits and I gulped nervously as I remembered last night.
I had challenged Tisha in the truth or dare game boldly and I had talked back to her.
I guess seeing her outside school was different from seeing her in school. It was like the school was considered her territory and I was a tiny ant in it that she could crush with her toe.
“Sorry about last night..” I said nervously and she smirked, revealing a row of pearly white teeth.
“Not so brave, aren’t you?” She said and she touched my shoulder, sending sparks through me.
“Stay away from Mac.” She said as her smirk turned to a glare and I shifted away from her.
“You’re nothing to him. So stay away from him if you don’t want to get hurt. Ok?” She said and I narrowed my eyes at her.
“Why?” I asked, feeling a bit of my confidence surfaced back within me.
Tisha giggled as well with her minions and I frowned.
“Do as you want. But don’t say I didn’t warn you.” She said before the bell rang and she walked out of the class.
