Acting Strange

"What? But what about Tristan? You love Tristan."

"That's why am just an hopeless witch that wants nothing! That hopes for nothing! I don't even know who to pursue!" Valerie fell on the ground crying.

"Okay, if you hide yourself in the bathroom with no one to console, is that when you'll finally know who to pursue?? Who's feeding you this shit? You don't pursue guys! Okay...Valerie, you have a whole career here. Right in front of you. You haven't graduated high school and goodness knows what your freaking net worth is."

"Are you kidding me now, Lisa?" She frowned.

"Of course i'm not. Okay, i might not be talking from experience, i might not have experienced it but...Valerie, close your eyes and imagine you and Tristan...Do that first." Valerie closed her eyes and imagined them both, she smiled. She slowly opened her eyes and winked.

"How was it?" Lisa asked.

"It was cool."

"Now, you and the new boy....uh...."

"kenji"

Valerie closed her eyes. She blushed so hard, her cheeks turned tomato red. Lisa smiled too, and waited for her response. She didn't wanna open her eyes anymore. Soon, she clasped her hands and started squealing and jumping.

"LISAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!" She screamed and laughed.

"What happened? You love it? Open your eyes sis!!'

"I...i wanna remain like this forever!!! THIS IS THE MOST....." Valerie couldn't speak anymore and just let the tears flow.

"I don't know why am crying..i...i..." Valerie screamed and hugged her sister still closing her eyes.

"OPEN YOUR EYES!!!!!! OPEN! OPEN! OPEN!" Her sister yelled and the bell rung for the next class. Valerie's eyes flung open immediately.

"Woah. Dance class."

"I thought you wouldn't pop out of your imaginations...." Lisa laughed.

"Honestly, i think i love Kenji. But do you think i should tell Ramona??" Valerie asked and Lisa rolled her eyes.

"Woah Valerie, you do know how to call trouble. My lady, You are not doing that."

"WHY???"

"BECAUSE.." The door flung open and it was an old teacher.

"Omg, miss Harvard..."

"What are you doing here? GET OUT OF THE BATHROOM!" She roared and the girls ran out.

"This woman is a lion." Valerie rolled her eyes.

"GET OUT OF THE BATHROOM!!" Lisa mimicked as they left chuckling. Dance Class was nothing for Valerie, because all she could think about was Kenji.

"Something is definitely wrong with me..." Valerie itched her head, and watched the teacher demonstrating different moves. She noticed Cora giving Aaliyah death glares, and rolled her eyes. Soon Lizzy's phone buzzed and it was Ramona.

Just arrived at Louisiana. Am super tired. I lodged an hotel first, then I'll meet Isara tomorrow morning. Love you!

Let's see if we can chat this evening. Check my i.g update.

Lizzy grinned and quickly checked Instagram. It was a picture of Ramona in her curly hair in a green robe. She was at a comfy cozy hotel. There was another picture where paparazzi and fans surrounded her and she had the biggest smile on her face. She started showing it to everyone and the Smile was indeed Contagious.

"ELIZABETH! Are you creating another class with your phone??" The teacher frowned.

"Am sorry Miss." Lizzy apologized and Cora rolled her eyes.

"Its not like the girl in question even smiles, why are P.D so fake?" Cora mumbled and Aaliyah's look was a slap in her face. The class ended in minutes, and it was recess. The Pink Damsels sat, discussed, laughed and even took selfies. Soon, someone entered the cafeteria and all eyes were drifted to the door.

Valerie picked some meat from her plate with the vegetables and slowly ate. She looked up to see the person who made all the girls lose focus. She choked on her meal.

"Who...who...who..."

"KENJI! I think we all like him." Aaliyah chuckled.

"Aaliyah, i...i have a question for you..." Valerie said, still choking.

"Drink some..." Lizzy poured her a glass of water.

"Is...it's a bit personal." Valerie said and Aaliyah chuckled.

"Personal? Of course you can ask me personal questions, we are friends and i can trust you with my personal life. So???' Aaliyah was waiting to hear the question while Lizzy was stuck on Instagram.

"Huh...K...Kenji, do you like him?" Valerie said and even Aaliyah started choking. Lizzy burst into laughter. Her phone nearly broke.

"Wh....wh..." Aaliyah drank some water.

"Like? What like? Valerie i don't understand you."

"Like...a crush..." Valerie wanted to be more clearer but was trembling. No one knows if this will be the end of their friendship. And friendship ends, even popularity ends.

"Nope. I don't have a crush on Kenji. But really? Valerie, why did you ask me this question?" Aaliyah folded her arms and Lizzy gave her an interrogative look.

"I...i...am done eating..i...i need to pay and..and prepare for the next class...and i...OH! This was what i wanted to show you!" She yelled and showed them Ramona's lyrics book. It was a blue book. She wrote the solo, herself! I think she...she..wants to sing it alone!"

"Valerie, a solo is sung alone." Lizzy smirked.

"Um...yeah..its titled...uh...em...blue Princess!...I think Ramona loves blue...but..why...why is she in the pink damsels and...why...why does she wanna...wanna..sing...something blue?" Valerie was stuttering and the lyrics book fell when she saw Kenji walking towards them. She was shivering and of course, Lizzy had all that recorded.

"I...i...i am...hi KANJI!!!!" Valerie yelled awkwardly, still shivering.

"KANJI??" The girls laughed hysterically.

"Am sorry Kenji, am sorry Aaliyah, am Sorry Lizzy, i need the bathroom." Valerie ran to the bathroom and closed the door. She gasped on seeing Cora there taking - A SELFIE??

"What are you doing here weirdo? And just look at your cheap outfit!"

"Penelope, i would like to apologize on - "

"Firstly, my name is Coralie. Not Penelope." She looked attentive.

"On behalf of my friends, am really sorry. They have been really rude to your girl group, and they shouldn't have been. Look Cora, i have never heard of two girl squads fighting. Its super wrong." Valerie said apologetically.

"Valerie, i accept your apologies. You and Lizzy haven't been wrong. BUT THOSE WITCHES RALIYAH JUST WORSENS IT ALL! VALERIE, nothing can stop me from getting back at Aaliyah for those curses!' Cora screamed.

"Aaliyah never cursed you. You wanted a birthday wish, and you got it. What else?" Valerie shrugged and Cora strangled her pinning her to the wall.
