Aye! Another update! Told you guys I’ll be updating soon! Hope you guys enjoy!~

Also please don’t break the fourth wall and go Witch hunting my characters.
===============================
Lachlan’s POV

I silently stared the new boy admiringly, so small and fragile. I’ve never felt so high up in the clouds before. It made me angry to find Luis and his gang hurting the poor thing. The urge of protecting him took over my mindset. I felt like I had the responsibility to be his protecer in any case of the situation. If I see Luis and his stupid group again, I swear on the Youtube Demonitize button, that I will kick his ass out of this school.

I’ve hated him since. He’s tried to friend me before from my high reputation. I thought he was an okay guy, until I caught him beating up Preston, who was new back then. Preston is now friends with me, making him quite popular to not mess with. Yeah, I don’t think Luis realize what karma is still, humanity can be really fustrating.

Escaping my thoughts, I went back to finishing my salad. Just as I was about to take a spponful, I saw the most annoying person who ever walked into my life catch the corner of my eye, Madalyn. Why can’t I just have a day without her damn presence?

Jerome, who was beside me, saw her too. He also narrowed his eyes at another girl who was beside Madalyn. It was of course Heather Belhaven, Jerome’s ex and Madalyn best friend. They were only dating for only about a month and a half, when Jerome finally found out she was cheating on him with five other guys. It didn’t effect him much, he realized he loved his bestfriend more than her and moved on pretty quickly after days later when he asked Mitch out.

All the others also started to see them coming our table. All knowing what’s going to happen, I except for Vikk. He looked confused once he saw the rest of us watching the popular girls with a disgusted look. Which reminds me, Madalyn better not make Vikk’s life a living hell. Oh no, I not in my watch.

“What’s happe–“ “Quiet Vikk. Just don't say anything.” I cut him up with as much gentleness in my voice to not make it seem as a threat. He understood and kept his mouth shut once Truman, Belhaven and another few girls come to our table. As I look at them, I felt like one girl was missing. Which then again, means less trouble. There was some guys staring at her with desire and the girls with admiration or jealously.

“Hey there Lachy.” She gives me her sickeningly sweet smile. “What do you want Madalyn?” I say, ignoring her greeting. Her face fell for a bit, but brightened up again. “I was just wondering, if you would like to accompany me later with my friends.” She starts to twirl a finger around one of her light brown locks, trying to hypnotize me for her so called beauty. Thankfully I don’t swing that way, so it doesn’t affect me one bit.
Never in an eternity will I want to have time with the girl, quite opposite to the other guys who love to spend time with her. Sure, she’s rich, ‘beautiful’, popular and all-time theatre star. She is just too much of a diva, disrespectful, mean and bossy.
“No thanks Mady, I have to help the new kid after school.” I gesture to Vikk, who has been obediently silent this whole time. She frowned with surprised expression, but put on a fake smile and looks at Vikk. “So you’re the new kid? What’s your name?” she asks, slightly leaning down to look at Vikk in the eyes. The Brit hesitated a bit, but responded with a stutter “C-Call me V-Vikk.” I got a bit sad, does Vikk like Madalyn? Please don’t, Madalyn don’t make my life worse by taking the only person I actually like.

“Oh, what an adorable name! It fits you very well!” She giggles, Vikk gave a shaky smile. “W-Well, it’s nice to see you, I-I guess?” He replies, slightly scooting further than away from her, maybe she dosen’t like her. She just nods and looks at back at me, “I’ll see you in your basketball match Lachy.” She giggles and winks at me. She turns around and flips her hair over. “C’mon girls.” Her group members all nods and stare at us for a bit before following her. I swear I saw jealousy in Belhaven’s eyes when she looked at Mitch.

Tough luck for her, he’s taken.

We were all silent before Matt looks at me. “Did you see that?” He says, looking at me? “See what?” I look back at him. He rolls his eyes “She looked totally jealous.” He tells me. I looked at him with a questioning face. Well I did see anger, jealousy and a bit of mischief in her eyes. Is she actually really that mad that I don’t want to go out with her and hang out with the new kid instead?

Dang, she is so clingy and too much of a diva. I just want her to calm down for once. It’s simple, I don’t want to be her boyfriend or are even interested in girls. I’m as gay as Mitch– Actually no, he is by far much more gayer than anyone else in this school– and possibly have a thing for the new student rather than Madalyn or any other. He just seems much more special to me.

My eyes go up to the boy, he was being stared by some people. Oh yeah, it’s rare when you get to talk to Madalyn, let alone have her say hi to you just like what she did earlier. Plus, he’s a new kid. I think I’m even making it worst because I’m as popular as Truman and also have my friends. It would be a legend to have two high reputation people talk to you at the same day, or actually ever.

He seems a bit confused on what just happened, he just kept quiet and even sat closer to me. Which honestly made me blush a little, but I don’t mind.

I look at the others, they didn’t seem to be affected much. Except for one. Rob seemed to be a bit confused and concerned at the dame time. Huh, wonder what’s in his mind right  now.

              »…¦After Lunch¦…«
Rob’s POV (Aye no cliffhanger.)

I walked down the hallways after lunch break. I was questioning on the scene when Madalyn came over to our table and greeted the new boy, Vikk–On which Lachlan never really stopped staring at him– but I knew someone was missing.

  I don’t think anyone else noticed, but I did. I would usually see her around Madalyn and be one of her other Want-to-be-popular followers. But she wasn’t there, it would be rare for her to be sick, so it isn’t normal. Then again, I haven’t seen her much around Truman or any of her other friends for the past few weeks.

That’s when I spotted her at the corner of my eye, talking to a few friends. She also noticed me and slightly waved with a smile. It was different, it’s not the usual mischievous and mean ones, but more comfortable and genuinely nice. It was by far different.

I see her excusing herself and walking to me. I stood still, waiting for rather than ignoring her and running away. She stopped and smiled “Hey Robbie!” she said in a cheerful tone. Is this even her anymore or is she brainwashed and abducted by aliens?

“Chelsea?” I look at her in disbelief.

She nodded “Yep!” “You look… very different.” She giggled “I am different! An entirely new person. Kinds weird I know” She joked. Yeah it is weird. She seems more… kinder.

“What brought this up then?” I ask. “Well… I’ve been more sensitive after a week when we broke up…” Oh yeah, we broke up for… reasons. “But it’s when I’ve seen all the horrible things me and my so called friends did. I became much more concerned and left the group, I didn’t like it there anymore and well things got a lot better.” She tells me, her eyes shining in pride and happiness. “I decided to say sorry to all the people I hurt and became friends with them. I ditched at the sparkly dresses and went simple instead. I studied more, got actual better scores in my grades. I became well… this” She shrugged as she referred to her new look. It actually made me smile.

“That’s great Chelsea! This is really an awesome change!” I look at her with a grin. “I know! I feel much more better with my life now, sure I’m less popular, but I don’t care about that anymore.” I nodded and chuckled. “That’s great Chelsey!” I praised for her new self.

“Also I don’t think we should go back together as you know… and I don’t think your my type anymore” She says awkwardly. I felt a wave of relief hit me, I thank god that question is out of the way that I was worried about. I nodded, “Yeah same, and I think I lean on guys more anyways.” I tell her. Her eyes sparkled when I said that “Aw, that’s cute! Who’s the lucky guy?!” She slightly teases me.

I rolled my eyes and my face turns slightly red. “Oh shut up, I won’t tell you.” She pouted as I said that. “C’mon Robbie! I just want to ship you guys for eternity and make a fandom out of it!” She giggles. I stood confused on what she said, but I shook my head. “Nope. Sorry. My mouth is closed” I tell her.

“Aw, fine.” She gives up. There is just no way I’m not ready to say my crush to anyone else yet. I see her stretch her hand out, “Can we be friends at least?” She asks, I could tell she really meant it. I smiled and took her hand and shook it.

“Yes, friends.”

===============================
