We returned back to the class. My friends were in a fuss. We are a team of 13. Today we became 11. I can't remember why? But I do know it is something about Masha and Polly. They fought and I was not aware about it. I sat there watching them drift apart and rest of us blamed Polly.
We were the most hyped up team in our class. All of us are unique in our own ways. One of our classmate left school. And in return she came; Lily. She came to our school after recess. She was very familiar. That proud face, the nasal voice and those pretentious actions. She laughed; then it hit me. She was in my dad's school. I attended the school for just three days before I transferred to my present school. She isn't the friend you would like to have, those three days was irritating. You ask why? Here comes the list; she controlled the class, she had them on her palm, she always want that perfect marks. She debates with the teachers and they award the marks with exhaustion. She was talented to be honest and good in studies. Honestly I was not happy and she was giving bad vibes off as usual. My classmates surrounded her with excitement and befriended her. I ignored her and was busy with pretending not to know her.
I ignored her for a reason. Back at the old school, there was a girl who sat behind the class and no one ever talks with her. Like she was invisible. She came up to me and talked, that is when I got to know that she was being bullied and no one stood up for her. If any of the classmates talked with her, she would also be bullied by Lily and the rest of the class. So they out casted her. I sat there in shock. So that is why I kept my distance because I don't like bad friends in my circle.
"You are Anna right, who came to Royal School? (My dad's school)" Lily came up to me and introduced herself.
"I was right! It was you. I wasn't sure it was you and I was a bit embarrassed to ask". I lied with no effort.
She smiled and replied. "I thought you were ignoring me". "Why would I be?" (You get it why do ask me?). "Take care of me Anna." "Sure" (Yep as if I got no other job). My English teacher came in. We got back to our seats. I have been trying to impress my English teacher, she just doesn't like me that much. She has her favorites; the ones that are really great at speech and students that excel in studies. Lily became one of them. "'Literary association' next week" teacher announced with her high-pitched voice. This is going to be fun because the theme is 'Horror'.

I barely have anything to eat during the break. That is natural when you have 11 of them with you, Polly sometimes joins despite Masha. I watched them carefully. Polly definitely hates her. We tried to patch things up but this is what Polly said in return "Never in million years. Just understand. This is over. I don't hate you guys and don't make me". I am usually bossy but I kept quiet that day. Her voice was very different. Like VERY DIFFERENT.
The classroom was like Hades cabin. It was bloody, dark. It was very gothic and our English teacher was terrified at the décor but she became even more with our performances. I and my group did an act on Vampire. We drank blood-like drinks off glass bottles and had dark makeup on. The school was in shock when we went to wash our faces.
"Anna that was a very nice performance". "Thanks Lily". I turned my head not paying much attention but she had the whole class attention and also all the teachers. I was tired of trying my best. It was no use. I was slightly invisible; what do you call that 'translucent'?

It was exams. Our class is hugest in the entire school. There was 50 of us. On exam days half of us are on the corridors peeping into other classes. It was fun and terrifying at the same time. I studied my head off but it barely sticks to my memory.

We got our progress reports. No progress. Masha was sighing next to me. "Masha is it that bad? I came in 10th position (The scores of all your subjects are added and divided with some number and you are arranged in descending order). You?" "11th." Kate cut in and said "That is good guys we are the ones in trouble. All in between 30 and 40". That isn't surprising to be honest. We went straight to eating because that is the tonic for us. We had to plan our year-end party. It was a blast last year. The whole school got to know and from then it became a year-end party competition. I was the boss of party planning. It was my idea to have some fun. Yes, I am bossy and fun.

I didn't attend school. I had to go to with my dad to purchase items for his business. Next day was party day; sadly I wasn't there for the planning of the party. It was sad but exciting. I was asked to bring some food for the party and some drawings to hang.

The party was a disaster. The bookworms had planned it. I am not criticizing. It was really a mess. The class has divided into two. The bookworms wanted to create something out of books and the other half had no idea what it meant and found it boring. The class is divided into two and was decorated. I was in disbelief. And the whole school had better parties. Some copied our last decors and they nailed it.
No one of us partied. "You should have come yesterday Anna." "Yeah we could have planned better and they would have listened to you." (I was still the boss of the class then). "Guys, I didn't expect this. How about we play basketball in the ground." They accepted my proposal. It was a good game, we had fun.
