Just a little reminder, the time stamp in the book isn't following the time stamp in reality. Thanks!

I walked into school the next day and went straight to my locker. My scratches weren't healed but they weren't entirely bad, I mean come on, they were just scratches for crying out loud. I walked straight to my locker putting in my number and taking out a few books for my next class which was Math. And we had a quiz today. I bet no one would even get the test half right, even me to be completely honest.
Suddenly I heard a slight knock against the side of my locker and I turned around to see Aldan standing there with his stupid smirk.
"How you doing? " he asked casually folding his arms. His dark black hair was roughed up like he had just woken up.
"Better than you. God you're sure having bad hair day aren't you? " I said with a snide and slammed my locker shut and turned around walking down the hall to my first class. Which was Aldan's first class too.
"Are you making fun of my hair? " he asked walking to keep up with my pace.
"No I'm just being sarcastic. " I rolled my eyes and smiled sarcasm dripping from my tone.
"I hate it when you do that! "
I slowed down and turned to him pointing to my face with a snide, "Please notice the slight expression displayed."
He rolled his eyes, "Whatever. Unlike you, I have the ability to make a messy hair look sexy while you just make it look like a tornado hit a volcano."
I raised my eyebrows and turned back to look at him. He smirked slightly and did a little eyebrow dance.
"You just quoted Eminem, " I said scoffing.
"I did. You listen to him too? " he asked in disbelief.
"No, I just play his songs to turn it back off again, " I rolled my eyes.
He laughed, "You my dear, are just too extra. Now, speaking of hairs." he looked up at my hair that was tied in a neat pony tail. I made sure to make little strands fall around my face so it shapes my face. My chubby little face. Now he made me feel a little cautious.
"Well done! " he faked a gasp and put his hand over his chest.
I turned the corner and went down the left wing. "I clean up nice if I want too. "
"Eh, I was actually congratulating you." he scoffed chucking.
"Um, exactly why I just said I clean up nice if I want too?" I simply stated though it sounded more like a question.
"Yeah okay, if your definition of clean up nice is going from a hyenas habitat to a raccoons, than sure yeah, it's totally nice." he chuckled.
"You are a terrible person, " I shook my head ignoring the fact that he just said my hair looked like a raccoons habitat.
"I know right, you are so lucky to have me. "
I frowned and stopped turning to look at him, "Why do you annoy me Aldan? "
He shrugged. "Part of my routine. "
I narrowed my eyes at him and he just stared back at me with his stupid smirk. Suddenly I felt a little bump past my shoulder. Twice actually. The next thing I know, I was surrounded by Aldan's side kicks, Usher --the wanna be singer and Eugene --the Mexican.
"¿Que pasa chicas? " Eugene said laughing and simply slapping Aldan's shoulder playfully.
Aldan chucked and shoved him back, "Dude I have no freaking idea what you just said. "
"Dude, I don't even know too! " Eugene laughed and bumped Aldan playfully when they both started chuckling.
"Morning Page! " Usher said bumping me a little on the shoulder and I simply smiled saying morning to him.
"Dude, what did you say? " Aldan asked Eugene still referring to what he just said.
"I'm telling the truth Danny boy, I have no freaking clue. I just heard my aunts screaming that last night when we had a little familia fiesta yesterday and they ran into the room going 'que pasa chicas! ' and then they all started talking gibberish. I swear, I thought they were long lost brown skin Chinese! " he giggled causing Aldan to glare at him and Usher to snort.
"You didn't understand them? " I suddenly asked making all three boys to go silent and turn around to look at me.
Eugene smirked, "Not even a ziltch."
"But I thought you're Mexican." I stated frowning.
"Nah, I'm Puerto Rican," he shrugged smiling at me.
"Don't they speak the same language? " I asked again looking at him.
He shrugged, "I have no idea, I am es stupido."
"Okay okay, English please, " Usher said putting his hands out in front of him to stop his two friends from giggling like little girls.
"That means stupid lil man, " Eugene said giggling and patting Usher on his head making Usher to wack his hand away from his shaggy brown hair.
"That's obvious dumb face, get your hand away from the hair, " Usher said straightening his hair.
"That, my friend-" Eugene said pointing to Ushers shaggy brown hair. "-Isn't hair. That's someone's missing poodle on your head."
Aldan snorted shoving Usher playfully and busted out laughing making Usher to push Aldan away.
"That was a good one! " Aldan said in between laughs.
"Wasn't that a good one? " Eugene laughed back.
"So good! " Aldan chuckled putting out his hand leaving it for Eugene to slap.
Usher shook his head and turned around to me, "That was conspiracy! It's not fair. "
I couldn't help but smile. They sounded so loosened up and all. I wanted to crack myself and laugh that much even if it made me look crazy.
I shrugged and chuckled little. "Okay guys that was fun, but we have class and we're almost late. "
Usher smirked, "Do you need directions or-"
"I'm fine! " I snapped looking at him making all three boys to start giggling again.
"Just asking, " Usher stated innocently.
"Is it just me or you guys giggle a little too much for guys? " I asked frowning.
Aldan cleared his throat, "We're straight and we're guys. What's a little harm in laughing?"
"Yeah, what's the harm little Page? " Usher said smirking and he had two dimples! I hate him for having dimples.
"The harm is that when girls hear you guys laughing like that, they'll get you wrong. " I said giving them a boring expression.
They all stopped and looked at me and I smirked.
"Anyway, I have to go to class. It's getting late and unless you guys wanna get caught, keep standing and giggling like little girls here. " I spinned on my heels and began to walk down the hall.
I didn't hear anything else from behind me. So as I walked, I slightly turned around a little just to find that the three boys had disappeared like they were never there.
_
It was lunch. The whole day was going pretty smooth. I mean apart from my last encounter with Aldan and the minimois, I didn't see them anywhere. I have Math with all three of them and they didn't show up, then I had Bio Chemistry with Eugene, he wasn't there either, and then I had History with Usher which you can guess, he wasn't there either.
It's like they never came to school. They were there in the morning and then they just disappeared. I mean you could be thinking, why the hell are you looking for them? To answer your hopefully asking question, I'd say I have no idea. But it freak me out in a kind of way that I thought I would go crazy.
I didn't have lunch however, instead I went to the ladies rest room to wash my face and of course, use the rest room. I walked inside hoping that no one was in there, and yes, no one was. I walked inside and stood in front of the huge mirror that was spread right across the wall. I took in weird refection. My big light baby blue eyes and my blonde hair.
I gasped when I looked up at my hair.
"Geez Aldan was right. " I mumbled taking my hair out from the hair ribbon and combing it through my fingers but I paused when I heard footsteps coming towards the bathroom.
I know I shouldn't be sacred or whatever, but one lesson I've learned from reading a lot of books is that bullying is most well played in the bathroom, especially the girls bathroom. Without tying my hair, I held onto my rubber and ran into one of the stalls and locked the door.
Just as I did, I heard a bunch of clicks coming into the bathroom along with Mandys voice.
"I just totally hate her sometimes! " I heard Mandy say.
"Who? " I heard another one day who I think was Stephanie Scott, another popular cheerleader.
"That bitch that's always around Cody! " Mandy replied.
I frowned.
"Wait? That dark haired slut? " Stephanie scoffed softly.
"Yeah, her name is something like Chris or whatever. I totally hate her. She thinks she is so pretty and ugh, she is like totally ugly trust me. " Mandy said.
I remained silent behind the closed door hoping that they wouldn't find me until they leave.
"You are so much prettier than her. " Stephanie said back in a sly tone.
I heard Mandy scoffed and I rolled my eyes whispering to myself, "Like I know right? " I mimicked her voice just then she spoke.
"Like I know right? "
I rolled my eyes.
Called it!
"Anyway, " I heard a little splash of water --probably washing their stupid little manicured hands, "He belongs to me. And even if we aren't together right now," I heard the sound of lips untouching to create a little smack sound. She scoffed softly,
"Cody Baker will be mine. "
then they both clicked back out of the rest room leaving me both dazed and confused.
