FIVE
I grab my books from my locker and tidy the piles of the others. As I lock it up, two blondes approach me. Britney, Lola and Sharon pop up behind me as well. What's with the people hear? Appearing suddenly all the time.
The two girls come closer. I take a good look. One of them is the irritating senior from yesterday. Next to her is a girl who looks around my age and has that same smug face. What are they? Sisters?
"Ugh." Britney says in disgust. "Those sisters again." So, I was right.
"Who are they?" I ask, and I think I made it sound dumb.
"Who are they?" Britney repeats. "Did you just say, who are they?"
I roll my eyes.
"Practically everyone knows them," Lola informs.
Britney flicks her wavy fringe. "Sally and Sabrina. The sister group. Sally is a senior."
I huff. "I know. An annoying one."
"Don't mess with them," Sharon whispers, "they're not very nice when you go against them."
Before I can reply, they've already stopped in front me. "Oh," Sally gives me a dirty look. "You."
Sabrina squints. "Who? Newbie? Oh, welcome."
I don't entertain people like her. From her face, I can see clearly not she's a serious smug one. I shrug off her welcome and turn away. I see Sabrina's jaw drop. "Did she just do that to me?" I hear her tell her sister.

"Oops."
I stare at the cream puff that just landed on my lap, on my new shorts actually. I look up into Sabrina's face.
"Sor-ree." Sabrina shrugs. "It was an accident, you know, it just slipped off my plate."
I shrug too. "Yeah, of course I understand." I push the cream puff off my lap, it lands on the floor, or rather on Sabrina's shoe, the cream splats out.
Sabrina's eyes widen. "It's new! Oh my gosh! It's neeeewwww!"
I grunt. "My shorts are new too, darr-ling. And by the way, it was an accident, you know, it just landed on the wrong place."
Sabrina shrieks and slams her tray on our table, then she heads to the toilet. Just before we can start laughing, Sally storms over. "Look," she glares at me. "I've tolerated you enough on your first day and now you ruined my sister's new shoes, you're really gonna pay for that."

"You kidding me?" Britney stares at me. "Another new girl? Your cousin?"
"Cool." Sharon grins. "I bet she's as nice as you."
I pick up Lola's pink pen. "Lend me."
"Is she nice?" Britney narrows her eyes at me.
I rummage through Sharon's pencil case and pick out a sparkly scarletn pen. "Lend me." I stare at Britney's pencil case with keen eyes.
Britney sighs and puts her hand on it to protect it. "You've not answered my question."
"You'll see."
"No," Britney whispers to lola and Sharon. "I bet she's not nice."
I grab Britney's pencil case and take whatever I want while Britney gossips. I start sketching on a piece of paper torn out from Britney's fancy purple notebook. I use all their colour pens and decorate on the paper: Welcome, Bella. :D
"Get what I mean?" Britney ends her talk.
"Yup." I answer.
"You do? You weren't even listening!"
I grin at her. "Thanks for the pens and paper."
"Noo! Not my notebook paper!'
"There," I pass the piece of well-decorated 'welcome paper' to Lola. "You three can present this to her tomorrow."
"Eww?" Britney peeks over. "Bella?"
