Chapter 3- The First Meeting.

CJ's POV

After the really long tour during site seeing class I later joined Nicole for lunch and found out that she had made a new friend. The pretty girl with red hair, green eyes and a lip ring introduced herself as Vixen. She seemed okay, at least she didn't send my bitchiness on high alert.

Then Imogene came from no where with some girl and introduced her as Jennifer. She was tall and really pretty with long brown hair and even darker eyes and yeah, long legs. The height difference between Imogene and her was really funny.

"So Jennifer and I are here to let you guys into our bus" Imogene said.

"What bus?" Nicole asked

"I mean a popularity bus. A bus is like a group who go to parties together, do all sorts of wild things together" Imogen explained.

"Like what the other tables are doing. So what are doing. So what are your ideas?" Vixen asked.

"We don't have ideas yet, we thought to get members first, then come up with ideas together" Jennifer said

"So are you guys in?" Imogene asked

"We're in" Nicole answered for both of us.

"What do you mean we?" I asked Nicole.

"Come on CJ, this is the only way we can make friends and be popular"

"I don't give a damn about making friends. I already have you" I mean I consider this girl as my everything, why I'm I not enough for her. But that popularity thing sounds really good, remember when I said I want to make a name for myself, either the biggest nerd or the meanest bitch, anyone of them would do as long as I'm the best at it.

"You know I've always wanted this and I can't do it without my best friend" it's true she's been talking about it since we were in our senior year of high school. Honestly, I don't see what's so interesting about having a group of people to do stupid and childish things with. 'Don't give in, don't give in' I told myself. "Fine, I'll join in" 'Damn it, I gave in. I am so weak'

"Yay!!" she screamed excitedly "So we're in" she repeated to Imogene.

"I'm in as well" Vixen said.

"I'm sorry but I don't know who you are" Imogene said with that bitchy attitude.

"I'm Vixen" her green eyes didn't look so friendly anymore "Now you know me" is it just me or does Imogene know how to get on everyone's bad side.

"And why should you be allowed into the bus?"

"Because I actually have ideas and I've been in a bus before."

"Really? What happened? They kick you out?"

"No, I left" Vixen said.

"Fine, what are your ideas?" Imogene asked.

"In a bus, you need the actual vehicle. Like a party Bus and I know how we can get one, but first let's work on that popularity stuff" Vixen explained, she looked so serious "Do any of you guys have boyfriends?" when we all answered no, she continued "Okay look at that table over there" we all looked at the table at the side, it was bigger than the other tables and the people who occupied it were loud and all good looking.They were having fun, while the others were still getting to know each other.

"We've only been here two weeks and every member on that table has been declared popular. Which means that everyone is looking up to them" she continued. I looked at the table once more and noticed Cole and Asher. "As for us, we are just as unknown as the rest of the losers in this school"

"How do you know so much about them?" Imogene asked.

"I used to know someone that's over there" she said sadly. The topic seemed sad to her so no one bothered her with any questions about it.

"Come on this is just our second week, you can't expect us to be the Kings and Queens of the Empire" Nicole said

"But they are. Why? Because they don't fuck around are super hot" Vixen said "Now we know where we stand on the social spectrum. Do any of you know or have any of you spoken to anyone on that table?"

"I know Asher, she's our roommate and Nathan, the good looking guy with brown hair, he's in our class" Nicole said.

The name Nathan sounded familiar.

I could have said I knew Cole, but I would rather not join their conversation.

"We need to get involved with them" Imogene said.

"Yeah, we do. Who isn't following them on social media?" Jennifer asked.

"Great idea" vixen said "You two pass your phones"

"What for?" I asked. I don't like people touching my phone.

"Follow the main guy on every social media app you're on"

"And why would I do that?"

"If he replies to any of you, we have a shot"

"What if I don't want to"

"Come on CJ" Nicole pleaded. I sighed then handed my phone to Vixen.

"So who is this main guy?" I asked. I just wanted to know the person they are going to make look obsessed with.

"Look over there again" she instructed and we all obeyed "Which guy do you think is the most good looking? Which have you heard of the most?"

I didn't know any of them until now.

But Imogene and Jennifer obviously knew the answer as they both replied simultaneously

"Chase"

"From what I know Nathan is Chase's best friend but I don't think he's nice enough to invite us to Chase's party tomorrow night"

"A party already" Nicole said excitedly.

"Yeah and if we plan on being popular we need to get invited to that party"

"Invite? Really? Can't we just walk in" I said.

"We could, but then people wouldn't give a shit about us. Those that get invited are important, social wise. Do you guys understand? You can't just walk into parties uninvited, it's not high school."

Nicole stood up "I want to get some food"

"So the one with the girl on his lap, right?" I asked.

"No, that's Alec, Asher's twin brother and his girlfriend Diana" Vixen pointed out "I'm talking about the guy next to him" the moment I turned to look at the Chase guy, their table was completely empty.

"Whoa, what just happened?" Jennifer asked.

"They left" I answered.

"So where did they go?"

"Who knows" Imogene said "Anyways, Chase is taking the Photography course"

"And how do you know this?" I asked.

"Duh, social media. He's really good at it"

"So, do you think Chase would talk to any of us" Nicole asked as she returned with a plate of fries and Chicken on the side. That got my attention and reminded me that I haven't even had anything to eat.

"You know what, fuck this, we have only a few minutes left before our lunch is over and we haven't even gotten food yet. I would rather not spend my last minutes talking about some potential ass hole that gains his popularity by the number of girls he fucks"

"CJ chill out" Vixen said "Fine, we can talk about something else"

"Whatever, I'm going to get something to eat. You guys can fuck around if you want" I said then walked away.

That was a bit dramatic of me I know, but there are moments where you have to make a scene for the fun of it. I got on the line, it didn't seem long and it gave me time to think, until the guy in front of me decided to turn around.

"Hey you" he said

"Nathan!" I exclaimed

"You remember my name"

"Not intentionally, trust me"

"Glad I could run into you again, I didn't like the way we started off. I seemed like a total dork"

"You got that right" I guess I should listen to him since he sounds sincere. As long as he doesn't make me land on my ass again. I mean it was too cliché, boy and girl bump into each other in the hallway and as they both bend to pick up the books, their eyes meet and its love at first sight. Every time I watch or read something like that, it is immediately branded as Bull shit.

"Besides you're hot, I'll hate to get on your bad side" Are you kidding me, it was going so well. Let me give him another shot.

"I only have a bad side"

"And a nice backside"

"Fuck you"

"Oh wouldn't you like to"

"You know what, the food isn't even worth this crap" then I turned to leave.

"I was joking" he said turning me around with his left hand "Chill, I just thought you were one of those girls"

"You mean a slut or a whore"

"Maybe"

"Get your hand off me" by now I was sure everyone was looking at us now.

"Okay" he said taking his hand off then raising it in surrender "How about I make it up to you? See there's a party tomorrow night, it's outside college in this big cream house and it's going to be a lot of fun. Would you like to come? You can bring your friends" I looked at the table.

I could say yes and they would all love me, but I don't give a fuck about them. But I do care about Nicole, she wants a perfect college life.

"Okay, we would be there" again I am so weak.

"Seriously? That's great"

"Don't get too excited, I could change my mind anytime"

"That's cool, see you at the party" he said with a smirk then he paid for his food and walked away.
