Chapter 5: EPISODE FOUR: BARBIEE!!
"Barbie Robert's daughter. I never knew she had a daughter". I spoke out loud but thank God, only Chloe heard me.
"Can you keep your voice down? And do you know why you don't know who she is. It's because you are a freaking art nerd". Chloe said to me in a whisper. She smelt like mint.
"Attention students, Barbie junior will be joining the 10th grade. Please give her breathing space as she locates her class". The principal announced from the broadcast room.
"Okay everyone you can go back to whatever you were doing. Barbiee come with me". My form teacher, Miss Wendel said and everyone ran to their classes.
"I should go". I told Chloe and followed them.
They stepped into the class, and everyone smiled at her. God! I wish they could smile at me that way to. I followed the backdoor where Steven waved at me.
"I'm sure you all know her. She demands to be treated like a normal student. Introduce yourself and pick your seat". Miss Wendel told Barbiee and moved to her seat.
"My name is Barbiee Roberts. It's spelt with two es and pronounced with two es. I'm not my mum". She said with confidence and everyone laughed then she moved to the empty seat beside me.
"Um Barbiee you can sit with us". Nikki proposed and rolled her eyeballs at me while the other two nodded at Barbiee.
"I prefer staying at the back, so I'll seat here". Barbiee said in the politesse way.
Nikki of course was furious but faked a smile and took her seat.
"Hi, I'm Barbiee. You?". She asked me.
"I'm Griselda Willows". I replied and opened my biology text..
"Do you mind being my tour guide?". She asked.
I lifted up my eyebrows in shock. A cool girl is asking the ugly duckling to give her a tour. What, is she seeking attention? She has plenty of it around here.
Nikki who had eavesdropped said, "It's fine Barbiee no-one asks duckling for a tour, if you wanna get a good tour ask Nikki".
"Who's duckling and who's Nikki". Barbiee asked and everyone laughed including Nikki.
"Oh, dear Barbiee. I'm Nikki and beside you is our honorable ugly duckling". Nikki replied her.
Barbiee looked at me. It was like she was saying "why can't you say anything?". Then she turned to Nikki.
"Well, I want Griselda to give me a tour. I hope there's no problem with that". She said and looked at me with a smile.
"Sure". I replied and thank God the biology teacher Mr. John arrived.
"Everyone, open your text to page 50". He told us.
After school, I said to Barbiee. "Why don't I give you a little tour before I go home".
She looked at me, smiled and nodded.
I took her to the library, the bathroom and many other places in the school. Now I have to admit she is so fun to be with.
When I was done with the tour, I decided to leave.
"Can I go with you? And we can go in my car". She requested.
I agreed and we moved to the school's garage. Now that is fire. Her car. It's not pink surprisingly, it's blue but it's fire.
"Like the car?". She asked me.
"Yeah. I expected you to be a pink girl". I told her and she laughed.
"Truth is I am nothing like my mum. Pink's childish". She replied and got into the car. I followed suit.
