When They Came [Editing On Hiatus]Words: 6500

"Aah.. Home sweet home." Max sighed.

"It feels good to be back here again." Liam added.

"I already miss Bella." Charlotte kept her head on Liam's shoulder.

"The first time you had come here was as a kidnapped girl and now you are here as my girlfriend." Zack smiled at me.

"This thing seems so small in front of our mansion." Max said while examining the house.

Thing..

Lol.

"We'll have to go to school!" I whined.

"That's a worry for tomorrow. I'll have to go to Eric's house to get my Coco back." Max said with twinkling eyes and left.

He's always happy to be with Eric.. Hmm..

What are you trying to say?

I... Don't know?

****

"Why's everyone staring at me?"

"They're staring at me too."

Max and I gave a look at each other, confused as to why we were the centre of attention.

"Are you guys acting or you genuinely forgot?" Charlotte asked with a blank look.

"Acting?"

"Forgot what?"

Zack sighed. "Max or should I say Kyle and Jennifer Williams... News spreads faster than fire in a jungle in this school."

"Oh that." Max and I said in unison.

Great. Everyone knows who I really am now. Is it a good or a bad thing?

You hate popularity.

Exactly right.

But everyone would be nicer to you now.

True.

And would want to be your friends.

Fake friends.

Teachers would pay more attention too.

Uh... Okay..

Come on, Jen. It's time you act like a queen.

A clumsy queen.

No. A queen queen.

How do you do that?

I... Don't know?

****

"Look who's back." Hailey smirked at me, her minions trailing behind as always.

"Get lost." I mumbled.

"You still aren't any better than before." She rolled her eyes and pushed me, making me stumble backwards with a gasp and wide eyes.

Before I could fall down, however, I bumped into someone's chest. I turned to look who it was and was met with a pair of beautiful bluish green eyes.

"Jennifer. Push her back." Eric said in a calm voice but there was anger hidden in it.

So I did just what he told me to. I pushed Hailey really hard and she squealed like a drowned rat before landing on the floor with a thump.

I burst out laughing and Eric snorted as one of Hailey's minions tried to pull her up but ended up falling down herself.

"Moronic witches." I smirked at Hailey who was giving me a death glare.

"You'll pay for this, you weirdo!" She hissed.

****

"So.. Eric?"

"Yeah?"

"What's going on with you and Max?"

"Wha-" he choked on his spit.

I rubbed his back to calm him down. "What do you mean?" He asked.

"Why's he always so happy whenever you're mentioned?"

"He is?" Eric asked with a grin.

"Yup."

"Hey, Jennifer." Alexander greeted me while coming from the opposite direction.

"Alex." I smiled. "This is Eric." I introduced the two to each other though Eric already knew Alexander.

It was lunch time and I went to the cafeteria with Eric and Alex.

"Here, Jen-" Max stared at Eric with wide eyes before breaking into a huge grin.

"This is what I meant." I whispered to Eric and saw that he had the same expression on his face as Max.

The 8 of us sat together at the table while all the others stared at us.

We aren't aliens why are they staring at us?

Maybe you are..

Huh-

Joke...

"Hey, Jen!!" Ashley squealed like a crazy girl while she ran up to me. Everyone now had their eyes on her. "What?" I asked in an annoyed tone.

"Bestieee!!! Did you forgot meee??" She came to hug me but I dodged her and she slipped and landed on the floor, face first. Max snorted and Charlotte laughed while Eric suppressed a chuckle.

"First. I am not your bestie or even a friend for that matter. Stop acting, Ash. Now that you know who my parents were, you are acting like my best friend again? How low will you stoop, Ash? Just stop, you're doing nothing but making a joke of yourself."

She stood up as tears pricked at the corners of her eyes. Everyone in the cafeteria started whispering about her.

"Everyone here knows what a whore you are, Ashley. You don't even deserve to be in the same room as Jennifer." Someone yelled.

Ashley moved her gaze down at the floor in shame and humiliation. I caught a glimpse of Alexander who was looking at her with sad eyes and a heavy frown.

Maybe he really did like her.

Other people also started mocking Ashley while they supported me. I knew all this support was fake. Had they not known about my truth, they wouldn't even have spared a look at me. Such two faced selfish people these are.

"Just die already, whore." Some girl said to Ashley which broke her down.

She looked at me with hatred filled in her teary eyes. "I hate you Jennifer Williams!" She said and ran off.

I am not going to lie, I felt really guilty. I shouldn't have said all that to her in front of all these people. They're going to make her life a living hell now. She was selfish and full of herself but she was my friend when no one else was.

"I shouldn't have said all that to her." I muttered while sitting down at the table with the others.

"She kinda did this to herself, Jen." Charlotte said. "I agree." Zack shared.

***

Nothing much happened in school that day, except me pissing off Hailey and Ashley.

And me bumping into a teacher, making her fall down and sending all her files flying around.

And me tripping over a can and then pushing the head cheerleader.

Yeah. Nothing much.

"Lost in thoughts?" Someone said from behind me.

I was standing near the window in mine and Charlotte's room. I turned to look at Celine standing there, with a huge tummy.

She's so witchy that I sometimes forget she's carrying a life inside her. I ignored her and continued staring outside the window.

"You seem to have gotten everything a girl desires in life." She commented and stood beside me.

"Money, kind of fame, a whole mafia, you're literally filthy rich now. You also have an amazing boyfriend who won't hesitate to kill anyone who tries to harm you. You have a great twin brother, a best friend. Literally everything is perfect." A hint of venom and jealousy was expressed in her voice.

"If I were you, I would have started being careful. You never know when life may snatch everything away from you." I looked at her as she smirked at me and left, leaving me thinking about her words.

What the hell did she mean?!
