The Hudson’s and the Adams were busily planning their own mission against the unsuspected innocent by-stander. Poor Erika had no idea what was instore for her, all she wanted was to keep to herself and survive her final semester at West-Bay Academy, but unfortunately that was too much to ask for from a bunch of life draining, fame hungry, spoiled teens.
Because of the previous day’s series of incidents, she no longer took the risk of being hasty. “I just need to slow down today, maybe I was too free spirited. If I hadn’t ran away from everything none of this would have happened.” What a terrible way of reasoning with fate.
Anyways, to be on the ‘safe’ side, she tried relaxing a bit. Woke up as usual, listen to another round of meaningless fashion lecture at breakfast with her overly concerned parents. Not bothering to pay too much attention to whatever her dear mo

At the stroke of nine, the halls were no longer crowded as the classroom was quickly filled with the bickering sound of disputing teenagers, clearly annoyed with the seating arrangements made for the next few weeks up until the internship selection would finalize. Even the usually neutral Jeremy Adams couldn’t help feeling a bit displeased for some strange reason. The sight of Jake suddenly flattering Erika continuously with obvious praise, was both annoying and laughable. Funny simply because of the hypocrisy in his actions. In about 24 hours he went from finding the nerd as disgusting and ugly, to a fascinating beauty when her appearance was no different from before. “I like your sweater today; the color matches your eyes. I can easily get lost in them.” Jake commented while leaning towards the innocent girl, just enough for the guy beside him to overhear.
The hardest part of the day was finally over, managing to sit through first period with the guy that could easily make my heart do a summersault in my chest against my will and the other that had the talent of making my mind want to scream in annoyance. A conflicted feeling that was thankfully put on pause, dreading the following days to come. Erika was definitely relieved to no longer be seated next to the two bickering fools, who had no business in disturbing her peaceful life of being West-Bay Academy’s friendly ghost. ‘I rather be an invisible nobody than to be connected to either of them.’ She thought, but quickly laughed mocking at her wild imagination… ‘yeah right like any of the two would be genuinely interested in my current appearance… Jeremy probably didn’t want his girlfriend to get into trouble or cause an issue with the family’s corporation and Jake’s motives were clearly establish
“Whatever it is you’re up to, stop t! I’m not interested in playing some silly game.” Erika retorted as she carefully placed her glasses back on, returning to her seat hoping to continue with her meal. “Good, I don’t like games either… well except for football, x-box, pools…” He suddenly started listing a bunch of irrelevant literal games, causing the girl’s lips to twitch in annoyance, “you must be doing this on purpose, it’s impossible for someone to be so… so…” “Multi-talented? Yeah, I know, I’m quite gifted… though I’ve never actually won most of the matches…” Marcus interrupted with his only conclusion. “I think crazy would be more appropriate to describe you.” “Says the girl accessorizing with fake transition lenses, by the way what’s your first name? I didn’t catch that part.”
In the girl’s locker-room, three chatty teens were carefully preparing for today’s practice session, stretching their legs and prepping their outfits to flounce in the presence of hungry observant wolves… ‘the yummy looking football team players.’ “So, what are you guys planning to do about the boyfriend stealing nerd? We can’t let her continue to invade our space like this! What if she succeeds?” Throughout Math and literature class, the girls took the opportunity to proudly state their claim on their boyfriends, constantly cozying up to them just to annoy Erika, who found their antics laughable. They were far from displaying themselves as decent socialite girls. Marcus really wanted to puke at their degrading attempt to boast. It was a shame for them to all meet up in this mandatory class session during final period. Thankfully, it was over. “Oh, come on Keisha, she’s just some desperate wannabe trying to
‘Oh, my gosh! What the heck is this? How can this even be considered a complete outfit? It looks like they ran short of material and just decided to improvise.’ Erika felt an instant headache being asked to wear something so revealing. Although she was expecting a mini skirt and tan top, much like the one the three plastics were wearing, this was beyond her imagination. First of all, she was at most a six and that toto looking thing was close enough to a size fifteen in width… they could have just as easy used some of the extra on the sides to add to the bottom, which quite frankly needed it. Surely neither Britney nor her minions could fit in that. What were their intentions? To fat-shame her by giving her a cheer uniform twice her size? Secondly, “I rather be mocked for dressing like a featherless chicken than to be caught in that!” Erika huffed, tossing the two pieces back into the locker trying to come up w
“Humph!” Jeremy scoffed, feeling annoyed for no reason. Why did it bother him so much that both Jake and Marcus got a chance to see her supposed blue-green orbs? “What’s the matter? Can’t admit you wanted to beat the crap out of him for a girl?” Seeing the look of hatred spread across his friend’s face, Marcus further probed. “If that was the case then you deserved a few rounds as well.” “Hey! I didn’t do anything wrong, when bratty barbie and her plastics were stepping out of line, I didn't just sit and listen to their nonsense. I spoke up and removed myself from the conversation.” He was quick to defend. “Don’t rub it in!” Je
“Shit! this isn’t good… hold on dude, don’t do anything stupid!” Marcus anxiously trailed behind Jeremy, trying to stop him from acting impulsive. Although he wanted nothing more than to see the annoying plastics being melted down to reality, he couldn’t just let his friend’s life be thrown into chaos simply because he chose to defend the honor of a girl, he might have some sort of feelings for, but could not be entangled with. Ignoring his concerns, Jeremy once again spoke up, standing behind the trio that hurriedly surrounded Erika. “Britney! That’s enough! Behave yourself.” Even if she had a strong intuition that her boyfriend somehow suddenly became infatuated with the nerd after their first encounter, she really didn’t expect him to intervene. As with the canteen and classroom series of insults, Britney thought he would do the same and swallow his displea
“That Stevens girl sure is something else, isn’t she? Who would have thought she’d actually retaliate?” Marcus gossiped among the group of footballers that soon continued the game after the little setback. Jake although disappointed could no longer joke around on the field by pulling some lame stunt to annoy the duo. He did however remain grumpy from receiving a few punches to his charming playboy face. ‘I’ll have to find a way to make them both pay!’ he instead silently waged war against them. “Yeah, the nerd got spunks. But knowing Britney, she’s probably planning a counter attack already…” “If she’s lucky, she will make it on the wall of shame… another victim by the triple threat cheerleaders.” “My monies on the fake Stevens, I think she’s one of those innoc
