Welcome To Paradise, chapter 2
I kept on staring at my new school. "This? Paradise?" I said as I made a face.
"Oh, did I say paradise? I meant hell." Tre said and laughed.
I made a sarcastic laugh. "Oh joy."
"Come on Liss. You have to give it a small, tiny chance." Billie said.
"....ok." I agreed, and we all walked to the front of the school.
As we did, I thought about the guys. Billie was the most handsome guy I've ever seen, and way nice. Tre is actually pretty sexy too, with a goofy twist to him. And Mike was one of those strong, cute, silent types. Because I was with these guys, I was actually looking forward to school. Funny how that works out.
"What class do you have first?" Billie asked me, his schedule in his hand.
I took mine out of my pocket. "Um.... Art."
"Alright, me too!" Tre jumped in the air, making me kinda freaked out.
"Ya, Mike and I have Art too. Wow. That's a coincidence!" Billie smiled at me.
I did the same back. "Well cool. Let's head to class then."
Since I didn't know where the hell Art was, I followed Billie Joe, Mike, and Tre the whole way. You could tell as you walked down the hall that Billie, Mike, and Tre weren't very popular. They were more like independant. Holding their heads up high as the preppy kids stuck their noses at them. But they really didn't give a shit. Just like me.... Wow. This was pretty amazing. Meeting these guys who were just like me!
We entered the Art classroom and picked a table for us to sit at. We all chatted and goofed off for a few minutes until the bell rang. Kids started piling in. I heard Billie and Mike murmuring.
"What?" I whispered to them.
They pointed to a girl in a small white skirt with a tight pink shirt. Her hair was perfectly straightened, and, yep, you guessed it. Her face had 5 pounds of makeup on it.
"That's the most popular girl in the whole 8th grade. Stay away from her." Billie whispered back.
I nodded and stared at her. She and her guy friends, which were all the skater guys, sat at the table next to us. She was laughing and giggling, trying to get everyone to notice her. It was pathetic. But through the whole class period, Billie, Tre, Mike, and I completely ignored her. But, unfortunetly, at the end of class, she came up to me.
"So, your new?" She asked me.
"Um, ya." I said in a dark tone. I looked at the guys behind me, giving them the "kill me now" look.
"Well, do you have a name?" She said snottishly.
"Ya, it's Melissa. Got a problem?" Billie came to my rescue.
"Um, no. I was just asking her." She said in that same sickeningly bitter voice.
"Well how about you fuck off and stop messing with us and our friends. Cause we're sick of it." Billie said, lowering his tone so no one else could hear.
She walked away, glaring at all of us.
The whole rest of the day that girl stared at me. Billie noted that her name was Lexi, and that all the guys called her Sexi Lexi. Billie told me this at lunch, so when he did, the milk I was drinking squirted out of my nose.
"Are you serious?!" I said as they laughed till they dropped to the ground.
"Ya I'm serious. She is the girl that everyone except all the guys hate. But everyone loves to hate her, and she loves to mess everyone's lives up. Trust us, she almost messed ours up." Billie said.
Tre and Mike nodded.
"I believe it." I said.
"Oh, did I say paradise? I meant hell." Tre said and laughed.
I made a sarcastic laugh. "Oh joy."
"Come on Liss. You have to give it a small, tiny chance." Billie said.
