"Miss Collins, we have to ask of you to please avoid breaking things when you stop fights." I have to fight the smile that was fighting its way to my lips at the fact that I am walking side by side with Leo. We were headed for the cafeteria for lunch. It would have been a delightful trip if it wasn't for the fact that the others are following behind us - and Romeo. They somehow invited Romeo to eat with us since he was new and didn't really have anyone that he knows.
"Let me ask you, did that strategy of 'no breaking stuffs' ever worked for you guys? I don't think so." I want to punch cool Hailey for the arrogance that I was showing towards dear Leo. We reached the cafeteria and waved at them goodbye before heading for my own seat. I set my lunch on my table and scrolled through my phone as I started eating my sandwich.
All the news on every social media was
“Miss Collins, it is about time that you prepare yourself. Sir Xander will arrive soon.” Alfred, my butler, informed me while I was busy sulking in my room. My face was buried in my pillow as I let out a frustrated scream. I can only imagine that Alfred was slowly backing away right now since I was having a tantrum.I gritted my teeth and sat down on my bed. “Fine. I’ll be there.” I grumbled. Alfred simply bowed and closed the door behind him. If only I could spew fire then I would have burned my room already.I got up and started to head for my closet. As I threw the doors open, I tried scanning for appropriate clothes to wear that would suit cool Hailey. I decided that a plain shirt, some jeans, and white sneakers would do. I also grabbed a leather jacket from the closet since it looked like it was going to become a cold evening.
The cafe that we went to is the same one where I first met Romeo. That was because it was the nearest one in the area and Xander was getting impatient and kept on complaining about how he did not want to waste any more time. As we got to the cafe, all his complaints were gone as he absorbed the antique ambiance of the shop and the smell of freshly brewed coffee. “Good, right?” I asked Xander as I watch him trying out the coffee that I ordered for him. He took one little sip and I immediately saw his brows starting to crease. “Why does it have a sort of sugary flavor?” “I ordered a mocha.” I set down my mug on the table as I studied him. “I thought you like sweets?” Xander simply stared at the cup of coffee in his hands b
Day by day, my hatred towards coming to school is growing. I enjoy the life of being the popular loner, a.k.a the cool girl, but the people of the student council are really driving me insane!“Psst, Hailey.” Sandy leaned over to me as we were walking in the hallway. I got used to her popping out of nowhere that I wasn’t that surprised anymore nor did I bother to ask her to go away. It was pointless.“What?” I said through gritted teeth. I was supposed to be the friendless popular kid, but now I look like the loyal guard of the student council. By the sound of her voice, I already know what was coming.At the corner of my eyes, I saw her pointing around a corner where the Janitor’s closet was. “I saw a couple of guys dragging a kid in there.”
I sat on my chair and placed my bag on my desk. I was preparing myself to sleep while the professor was still out when I noticed a shadow casting over my desk.“I heard from Xander that the project was your idea.” I almost rolled my eyes as I heard Romeo talking.I looked at him with a frown. “You guys were supposed to carry me for this project. Why am I the one giving out ideas!? I am not the nerd in the group.”“Err…” Romeo hesitated. “I don’t think that you should outright admit that you don’t plan on helping out with the project.” He says while masking an awkward look on his face.“What’s the difference? I already expressed my opinion from the start.” I crossed my arms ov
Monday morning, a few days since Leo told me they would leave me in charge of the school. I have never looked forward to school since today! It has been a while since cool girl Hailey Mae Collins rule the school again.No more forced lunch dates and meetings with them. And especially, no one would be telling me what to do.For a week that is.I yawned loudly and took a sip of my hot coffee while I was waiting on set. My first day of being in charge of Waynard High and I am already up so early because of the change of schedule for my photoshoot. I don’t even know if it is karma for being this happy of being away from the student councils or not.“Ha - I mean - Felisha!” Kaila hissed at me while glowering at my slump form on the folding chair. &ldqu
The bell signaling the first period ended, and now I have at least half an hour’s rest before heading for my next class. I was planning on staying in the room until I remembered that I had to meet up with Stella and brief her on some things to take note of.I groaned and pulled my butt off my seat before heading to the school cafeteria where we were supposed to meet.As I was walking, I noticed that my phone my buzzing inside of my phone. When I checked the screen, I saw a message from the science project group chat. It was from Romeo. He was informing us that he couldn’t make it to school today.Great, two of my groupmates are going to be a no-show for our physics class. Perfect. At least I will have an excuse not to do anything during that time.As so
We finally reached the rooftop, and just as the kid opened the door for us, I saw one larger kid holding the other by his collar and lifting him up by the air.Nice. We were just in time for the drama. I thought as I observed the scene with excitement. I sure do hope that Stella’s watching me do nothing.“Dein, Conor, that’s enough! I brought miss Hailey with me. If you guys don’t want to get in trouble with the student council, then you guys better stop it right now.” I glared at the kid who brought us here. This little brat!And I was just starting to enjoy the show!“Miss Hailey is the peacekeeper, so I suggest that you boys cease your fighting,” Stella added
“Hailey, if you want to skip work today, just say the words.” My friend, Kayla, said to me after I told her of the horrific events that afternoon. “You had a bad day today. I am sure that the director will understand if you can’t make it to the photoshoot.” I was in my trailer truck, where I headed the moment the afternoon classes were canceled because of the incident earlier. Normally, I would have gone home, but whenever I am alone, my mind will automatically fly to the scenario on the roof. My brain would start to fantasize all about the scene. It kept showing me what would have happened if I screwed up at some point and ended up dropping the kid. I shivered and started rubbing my arms out of fear. “I’m fine. Don’t worry about me, Kayla.” I forced a smile when I looked at her. “I can still do the photoshoot. And besides, isn’t today a very special day? We have a guest arriving soon. I don’t think that it would be nice to ditch work.” Kayla stared at me. She was obviously worrie
