High school mind games

Shaneelia-
“Act cool, if everything goes well today I’ll finally have the guts to ask him out,
on the other hand he is my best friend what if he rejects me?” you think to
yourself.
You look to the side, “oh shit” you see his beautifully familiar face; Zedikiah
your best friend is walking to you with that cheesy smile……that is so… without
argument irresistibly breathtaking.
“Hey stranger, where have you been I’ve been calling you, that’s what phones
are for you know you’re supposed to answer it!” , he bends down slowly and
kisses you lightly on the nose which makes you even more nervous causing you
to blush like crazy.
“Naw sorry Zebra” you say returning the cheesy smile, “was my little zee dying
just to hear my voice” you continue, pulling at his perfectly tan cheeks, you
both start laughing.
“So” he says with a mischievous smile “I was thinking me, you, Kitties birthday
yes, no??? Marco Kennedy is going to be there, so how about it Neelia?”
He starts making that cute puppy face that can’t say no to
“Zee!” you blurt out loud “what” he says with a puzzled expression
You smile and say “I had a crush on him in 3rd grade seriously when you are
going to get over that?”
You both start laughing “I remember” he says continuing on “when you would
stalk him, and how much you talked about him” he says trying to keep himself
from falling over.
“oh Zee” he says with a mimicking tone “Me and Marco are going to get
married and live in a castle like Cinderella and then were going to have nine
babies together you’ll see, one day” you both start laughing so loud that you
end up gasping for air.
After a while you both have finally settled down and are making your way to
class, as you are about to walk through the door Kittie also known as the
Queen Bee comes up to youse.
Kittie is also Zedikiah’s step sister, their parents got married last year but Zee’s
Mum moved in with Kittie and her dad.

“So you guys coming to my awesome party on Friday??” Kittie says with a cute
smile “It’s going to be bigger and better than last year!” she says
enthusiastically
“Well” says Zee looking at me with those big bright green eyes “I’m not going
anywhere unless Shaneelia’s goes so Neelia???? Are you going to go??”
*you sigh* “Fine then you big baby, I’ll go! Are you happy now?” you say trying
not to blush too much
“Yay! Okay see you guys on Friday then ciao!” she says cheerfully walking off
with her group,
You’ve never really liked her group, they’ve always seemed bitchy to you the
way they think they’re better than everyone, I don’t get it Kittie has always
seemed nice to me but everyone else see’s different.
“C’mon slowpoke chop, chop” Zee says pushing you from behind “we haven’t
got all day!” he says
You can’t help but laugh “okay, okay im going!” as you both walk into class you
take your seats at the back of the room.
When you are both seated a girl you have never seen before walks into class,
she is wearing a maroon coloured jumper under black silk overalls, maroon
beanie and Doc Martin Boots that go well with the maroon lip stick she’s
wearing, “hm… stylish and sassy at the same time” you say looking at the girl.
Moments later Mr Toorak walks in, “Good morning” he says with that husky
voice of his, “you must be the new student” he turns and says to the girl who
hands him a small piece of paper “Everyone, I would like to introduce you to
our new student Sandy Veetora please make her feel welcome”
Sandy walks over to the empty seat In front Zedikiah, before she sits down she
gives him this smile, I don’t know what it was but I didn’t like it one bit.
“Oh no did Zedikiah just give her that cheesy smile? I’ve only seen him smile like
that when he looks at me!” you think to yourself.

Sandy-
“This school is so boring, the football players are all the same hot, sweaty and
big-headed, every school is so normal there’s never nothing fun around to do.”
You walk around school until you finally find the school office, as you are about
to enter into the office a boy about your height walks right into you, “I-I’m s-
sorry” he says as his glasses nearly fall of,

“It okay” you say with a wink, he walks away with a huge smile
“Dork” you think to yourself “what better to do than play with peoples mind,
*you sigh*I’m so mean” you smile to yourself and enter the office, you walk to
the front desk and the office lady is on the phone,
“Mrs Mather’s I promise you Kittie Davies did not put that ink bomb in your
daughters locker, it must be a mistake Kittie is one of the nicest students I
know at this school” she says motioning for me to wait
“u-huh, u-huh oh okay so the ink exploded all over her hair, u-huh her hair’s
blonde? Hm… So the ink isn’t going to come out anytime soon?” she continues
“Well I’m sorry Mrs Mather’s there is really nothing I can really do right now
but I will pass this on to the Principle and then he will follow up on it, thank
you have a nice day” she say’s hanging “Whew” she says looking at me with a
smile “so how may I help you?” she asks politely “Hi my name is Sandy
Veetora, and I’m new here” you say
“My mum told me to come straight to the office and get my timetable” you
continue on
She walks over to a stack of papers and grabs the first piece of paper on the
pile, she walks back over and hands you the piece of paper and Sais “This is
your timetable for the whole semester if you have any trouble finding your
locker you can just ask any of the fellow students” you smile and walk off when
you’re out in the hallway you check your timetable English it reads first.
You look around and see a lot of room’s music, art, drama…. English well that
was easy you think to yourself.
You see a group of people “well this must be the cool kids, seen better” you say
to yourself
You see two students walk in before you a boy and a girl, “looks like we have
two of the cool kids in my class, judging by the way they’re walking so close
together they must be a couple”
As you walk into class after them you feel a group of eyes burning into you, it’s
like they’ve never seen a new student before in their pathetic lives.
After you walk in a man dressed in a suit and tie walks in “must be the teacher”
you say to yourself. He greets the class and then turns to you
“You must be the new student” he says with a smile as you pass him your
timetable

“Everyone I would like to introduce you to our new student Sandy Veetora
please make her feel welcome” he says to class
As you walk over to the an empty desk next to that couple that walked in
before you, you notice the guy who is extremely beautiful with short brown
hair, nice tan and you can’t forget the best feature those beautiful green eyes I
smile at him making sure I have his full attention, I also notice that his girlfriend
is giving me that what-the-hell-was-that look ha! You smile to yourself it’s
always good to have a bit of healthy competition.

Chapter 2

Zedikiah-
Before Mr Toorak enters the class room a new student walks in, you couldn’t
take your eyes off of her like yes of course she isn’t as beautiful as Shaneelia
and she don’t have those Golden Brown eyes like Shaneelia does but
something about her was so captivating. “Stylish and Sassy at the same time”
you hear Shaneelia say
After Mr Toorak introduced her to the class she came and sat down at the
empty seat near you, before she sat down she gave you this smile, and you
couldn’t help but smile back, you gave her one of those cheesy smiles.
Throughout the whole class you couldn’t help but wonder what she was
thinking. “Sandy” you thought to yourself “what a great name, it suits her long
sandy blonde hair”
When class finished she got up quickly and just walked right out, she didn’t
even look where she was going as if she it was something she’s done a million
times before.
“You like her don’t you?” Shaneelia says breaking my train of thought
I look at her, she was looked a bit annoyed but yet somehow beautiful as ever
“Would you hate me if I did?” you ask confused, she grabs her stuff off the
table then finally turns to you and Sais “no!, Zee how many times do I have to
tell you? No matter how many times we fight I’ll never hate you” she Sais
As we walk out of the class I say “you do know I’ll always have time for my little
Neelia, no matter what I’ll always chose you over any girl” you say kissing her
lightly on the cheek, you watch her mouth as a smile slowly forms.
As you get to her locker Sandy the new student comes up to both of you
“Um excuse me” she said only looking at you “can you help me find my
locker?”
You look at Shaneelia, she gives you a little wink then Sais “Go ahead I’ll just be
putting my stuff away”

Shaneelia-
“Act cool, it’s not like you really care if they got together or not, like he said he
would choose you over any girl, I don’t know about this one- she’s one of those
girls who play with your mind just for the fun of it”

When you are at your locker the new girl comes and asks Zedikiah if he can
help her find her locker “humph typical, he helps her then they fall in love and
live happily ever after” you try and act cool so you say “Go ahead I’ll be just
putting my stuff away”
Zedikiah smiles at you and walks off with the new girl, as you leave your locker
and go to find them you spot Kittie and her group coming your way
“Are you and Zedikiah alright?” she asks concerned, you simply smile and reply
“lol, Kittie we’re fine” you hesitate then continue on “he just went to help the
new girl Sandy Veetora” she exhales loudly and finally Sais “Don’t worry about
her we’ll handle it-“one of her friends Lilly Davis cut’s in “Wait, did you say
Sandy? Sandy Veetora, long blonde hair?” she asks
“Yeah, do you know her from somewhere?” you reply, she gives you this
Are-you-serious look “We use to go to the same school” she Said “She is really
dangerous, I really think Zedikiah shouldn’t be hanging around her”
You laugh and realize she is very serious “Wait what do you mean by
dangerous? Let me guess she’s a mass murderer?” you say unsure of what
Lilly’s answer would be.
“Why don’t we all go to the cafeteria and Lilly can tell us more about this
Sandra” Kittie Suggests
“It’s Sandy, her name is Sandy” one of the boys say “Oh whatever same thing!”
Kittie replies with a smile.
You and Kittie and her group all head off to the cafeteria.

Sandy-
“Well my plan is working, now all I need to do is make him like me, but how will
I do that?” you say to yourself
“So” you say to start a conversation “How long have you and your girlfriend
been dating?” he looks at you confused then finally Sais “You mean Shaneelia,
no were not dating that’ll just be weird, not that I wouldn’t date her or
anything it’s just that we’re best friends” he replies`
“Oh” you say satisfied with his Answer, you stop at a row of lockers “this one’s
yours” he says pointing to the locker with the slightly dented top, you smile at
him and say “thanks I really appreciate you helping me, who knows I could’ve
been here all day looking for my locker” he smiles and just as he is about to
walk off he turns around and asks “did you want to come to the cafeteria with

me, I mean so you can meet the rest of the gang?” you return the smile and
nod slowly.
After you put your books away, he escorts you to the cafeteria,
“Check and mate”

Zedikiah-
You find her locker, “this one’s yours” you say as you point to the locker she
gives warm smile and thanks you for helping her.
You turn to leave “Wait I can’t just leave her here, it’s her first day maybe I
should help her find some friends” you think to yourself
You turn around and ask “Did you want to come to the cafeteria with me, I
mean so you can meet the rest of the gang?” you await her answer but she just
smiles and nods slowly.
As you make your way to the cafeteria you wonder where Shaneelia is because
you haven’t seen her around yet, as you enter the cafeteria you spot Shaneelia
sitting with Kittie and her group on one of the far end tables.
“there they are” you say pointing at them, as they see you and Sandy they start
whispering “weird” you think to yourself
You and Sandy both sit down, “Everyone this is Sandy Veetora, Sandy this
everyone” you say
You see Lilly giving Sandy a menacing look then she finally opens her mouth to
speak, “Sandy Veetora how nice to see you again” she says with a mischievous
smile, you look at Sandy but she is no longer smiling.
“Everything okay” you asked confused, but she ignores your question and gets
up and leaves the table without saying a word.
Shocked and puzzled with what just happened, you get up and go to see if
Sandy is alright.
You walk around the corner and find her talking on the phone, she turns
around see’s you, “I’ll call you later Mum” she says to the person on the other
side of the line and hangs up.
“Hey” you say “is everything okay? You seemed a bit annoyed back there”
She sighs, “Me and Lilly go way back, we’ve had a lot of problems in the past
and, well I just wanted a new start” she pauses “and I don’t want Lilly ruining
my chances of a new start” you give her a very understanding smile,
“Look I’ll speak to Lilly and you can get on with your life; Lilly will understand”

“No” she says quickly “I mean you don’t have to worry about it”
“I don’t get it; Lilly isn’t going to bite her head off”
“Sandy if there’s something you need to say and get off your chest just say it, I
can help” Sandy lowers her head, she looks as if she is going to break out in
tears, “I can’t” she Say’s letting a tear slide down her cheek “you can trust me”
you reply trying to sound comforting.
“It’s really complicated, I mean when Lilly moved schools my life suddenly was
going great I wasn’t feeling threatened to come school anymore and then
when I came here I thought I would be even happier, new house, new school,
new friends, new everything, I thought this would be my fresh start” she takes
a long pause then continues “I guess seeing her brought back memories of
things I’ve tried forgetting”
“I don’t get it, is she trying to say Lilly was made her life miserable? No way Lilly
has always been the sweet, kicked back type of girl”
“She put me through hell! You don’t even understand!” she screams running
away, “Sandy, Sandy wait don’t go” you call after her
“Dammit now look what you’ve done idiot! You just made a girl cry”

Lilly-
You, Kittie, Shaneelia and the rest of the group are seated at a table on the far
end of the cafeteria.
“I really have a bad feeling about this, Zedikiah and her start having feelings for
each other and Shaneelia decides to get involved things can end up like last
time”
You look around to see if anyone other than the people on your table can hear
you, when you are satisfied that no one is listening to you, you start
“You know how you asked if she was a mass murderer or something?” you ask
looking directly at Shaneelia, “Yeah” she replies with a un-certain look
“Well she isn’t a mass murderer” *Shaneelia and Kittie both sigh* “Three years
ago me and Sandy were in the same English class, one of my other friends
accidently spilt chocolate milk on her and five minutes later she was found at
the bottom of one of the stairs”
“Okay maybe I am overreacting she isn’t really dangerous but she did lock me
in the basement at her own birthday party” you see Kittie trying to hold in her
laugh "
