The Timez 3#

The Timez 3#

The whole school is gossiping about the latest rumors and Kit is one of them.

(If you haven't read The Timez 1# and 2#, please scroll down but read 1# first please! Thank you, Kat.)

So, if you've read The Timez 2#, I've totally blown it for Amy. But now that we're in Year Seven, it's getting worse. We've been friends for only three days and seven minutes and now, she's been avoiding me! But luckily, Tally's back being my friend, which is good but also bad because of Amy. But now, Amy has an entirely new group of math-lover friends and I'm pretty sure the nasty rumors and secrets of me are getting touchy to me and now, from being nice to angry to Amy, I really want payback. Though, the problem is that payback and stuff is not my thing.

But so far, middle school is OK. But don't get me wrong, I still HATE IT! I wish I was back in primary school.

Chapter 1

It seems like I'm in a different world. Ever since new meditation classes have come, I'm more relaxed. Ms. New, our meditation teacher is more like a genetic freak. "I mean," as I tell Amy, my best friend as we head toward the cafeteria. "The way Ms. New dresses up like. She wears the long-up-to-my-leg dress that princesses wore in the 13^th century. And the way she speaks about meditation!" Tally chuckles and tries to mimic Ms. New's voice. "You're on a cloud…being calm and petite! Feel light and never bite back…it's all the part of our meditation serves!" she mimics, moving her hands in a wavy way as she did it. I laugh and I got a tray. Tally wiped her hands on her white jeans. She looks amazing. Brown hair in a ponytail, jeany jacket and bangles. I look like a shipwreck, as usual. My messy dark brown hair was out, my jeans with a fat whole at the leg and my blue jacket had a jam stain on it. We lined up and got our food and carried ourselves to a spare table near the window. "Wand down, squiggly mascara. We're on our way to Harrington Road!" the two boys in my history class, Dan and Sam were near our table. Sam was reading that phrase from a red book he was reading but Dan was carrying both trays, looking bored. "Wanna come sit here?!" I yell at them. They both turn to me, looking stunned. Omigod, I thought to myself. Stupid, stupid, stupid. Why did I do that? It was like I was flirting with them, when I really am not. Amy, my 'ex-friend' was sitting on a table with a group of other nerds, who ace their math test Everytime. When they heard what I said, they turn to me and Tally and smirks. I felt my stomach jump. Amy was looking like she was ready to giggle, but she just turns back to the table and continues to chat with her nerdy friends. Tally is looking at me as if she could kill me. "Sure!" Dan says cheerfully and makes his sit. Sam follows him and sits next to him. I look over at Tally. She gave me that look: Why did you do that for? Their jerks! I was praying for lunch to be over, but as usual, it tooked forever. We were not talking or anything. Just, sitting there in silence, around heaps of noise. Dan clears his throat to try and make a conversation. "Um…so, did you ace the math test, Tally?" he asks Tally. My stomach felt like it flipped. Oh, God! Tally's going to make a rude answer and that will be bad. I was crossing me fingers under the table, hoping the bell will just ring. It didn't. "No," answers Tally rudely.

Chapter 2

After lunch, the teachers let us go outside but Tally had to practice a school musical she was joining so I was on my own. I walk through the oval. I see Amy's nerdy friends, all sitting in a circle. One of her friends, Rakia Smith, a dorky girl with pigtails in plaits, dark, dark hair and her yellow t-shirt looks up and giggles. The rest stop scribbling on their math homework. "Hi Kit! Ur, where's your boyfriend?" she mocks me. I want the grass to open and swallow me up. They did see how I asked Dan and Sam if they wanted to sit on Tally and I's table. "Um…I don't have one." I mummer back, keeping my head down. But I could still see Amy, looking green in the face from trying not to laugh. I keep looking down. "Nu-hu! She has two boyfriends! I saw!" mouthy and nerdy Sarah comments. I walk away, is the only thing I could think of doing. The nerds don't follow. Thank goodness.

Tally is back from her musical thing. It's Sunday and she's going to the local pool with me. "Seriously, Kit! On Friday remember how you asked Dan and Sam about sitting with us? That was totally lame. They are the top two dorks in the school!" she complains. I sigh. Sometimes, I just don't get Tally. "Well, you didn't have to say 'no' rudely to them, you know!" I point out. Tally shrugs as we walk to the outdoor pool. Splash! She jumped in. I didn't understand why. Usually, she just hops in, not jump, making a hideous sound. Suddenly, I felt a raucous shove. Someone pushed me back hard which made me fall into the water. That moment was horrid. It was nasty Melanie and Janine with their pretty bikinis and whatever and brilliant suntan. Once I popped my head up the water, they were laughing like crazy. Tally was on the grass, looking guilty. A few guys from our school whooped and laughed. Most are year eights. I'm now in year seven. This is humiliation. Most of the water was up my nose because I did a roly-poly as I fell in. It also hurt my eyes, because I forgot my goggles. I didn't want to face Melanie and Janine, so I follow Tally to the counter to get some treats. "That was horrible, what they did," Tally says as she places a five-dollar bill on the counter. I just nod. My eyes still hurt. "Two packets of tomato chips and one bottle of lemon soda and another bottle of plain water, oh, and four mini sherbet lollies, thanks!" explained Tally to the counter lady. The lady nods and got set to work. "You said you wanted plain water. Didn't you Kit?" Tally asks me as we wait. I was still rubbing my eyes. "Yes," I answered. We got our food and set our towels on the grass to lie on. Tally put her shades on and chuckled. She offers me some mini sherbet lollies. I shake my head. I wasn't very hungry. Suddenly, Melanie and Janine came up to us. "Hey, Tally, does Kit have a boyfriend?" Janine asks. Tally frowns then looks at me. "Why?" I butt in, before Tally says anything. "Oh, cos' Amy and her gang told us that you do. With Ur, what's his name-Dan? Elena and Mary and Fiona know to. On Friday, Amy and her gang with Rakia told them. Didn't you know? Oh, then Elena told Ginny then Ginny told…" Melanie says quickly. "Wait!" I scream at her. "Amy's spreading rumors about me? No way," I say at them. But I could tell that even though Melanie and Janine really hate me, I could see that they weren't joking.

Chapter 3

"Kit, would you wait up?" Tally calls after me on Monday morning as the bus left. I couldn't blame Tally. She had nothing to do with this. It was all the nerd gang. Amy, I knew she hated me. But why would she speard nasty rumors like this? Just because I asked Dan that if he wants to sit with us? "Kit! Kit! It's a good thing to have a boyfriend, you know! We're in seventh grade! It's cool!" Tally shouts after me. I scold. I really hate Amy now. It goes from apologizing then hating her. "Yeah, but Dan's not my boyfriend! Amy's nerdy gang got it all wrong! And for your information, having boyfriends in seventh grade is so not cool! Especially in this school!" I shout back. Suddenly, when I reached homeroom, my mobile phone starts ringing. I grumble as everyone chants, "Kit has a boyfriend! Kit has boyfriend!" I look at the phone. The message was from Amy:

You have a boyfriend! When's the date gonna come by? On a Saturday night will be cool! Especially with lots of roses Dan's gonna GIVE U! LOL! J From, Amy, Rakia, Daisy, Kite.

I groan as I read it. I show it to Tally. She smiles weakly. She obviously thinks it's funny. But it's not! When Mrs. Daniels told us our lesson was going to start, I felt calmer. At least no one will chant on me.

Chapter 4

Tally_13: K. Goodnight!

Chapter 5

So, I've gone and done it. I hate Amy so much now. I am walking to school alone because Tally has a doctor's appointment. I feel sick, I feel like puking. I didn't want anyone to see me so I decide to walk behind the school halls. That way, no one will see. I was walking fast to homeroom in first period. Suddenly, I see something slivery and flashy on the ground. When the bell went, I stood still then when the corridor was clear, I deicide to walk over to the sliver thing. I pick it up-Oh my, it was a phone! I gasp. It was Amy's phone. I hesitate; whether to just put it back or keep it for a while. I did suggestion No. 2. I shove it in my pocket and race to first period class.

After first period and second, I stroll to the loos, thinking. What should I do with this phone? I lock myself in a toilet cubicle and flip open Amy's phone and punch some buttons. There was that message she sent me that other day. I felt like deleting it, but I couldn't. but I could send a message to someone else. But who? Then I remember what Amy did to me and I kick the toilets walls. I felt mischievous. I wrote a text message to Rakia. The problem? I had NO idea who to pretend. My plan was that I'll send the text to Rakia, but it actually says another name on the screen. Yes, yes, it was perfect way to wreck their friendship. Then, Rakia will tell Kite and Daisy what Amy (I) sent. I punched a few keys. Oh, hey, Wendy! How r u doing? I'm studying 4 this BIG TIME math test. You know my NEW friend, Rakia? Yeh, well she is such a big, fat jerk! She thinks she's so smart but she's not. you should c hr belly. It's humongous! She's such a dirty, fat, jerky moron! Amy x

I read over the message. Wendy was Amy's primary school friend before. It was perfect. Now all I'll do is send it accidently-on-purpose send it to Rakia's number. I put on Rakia's number and hit send. Then, I went to a bench outside and popped it there next to Rakia's class. So, she could grab her phone before someone nicks it.

Chapter 6

In our P.E lesson, I feel like some commotion was happening. I HATE cheerleading but after our practice, I went to the far corner. Amy, Rakia, Daisy and Kite was there, crowding around Rakia's phone. I hide a smile. Rakia was going mad and yelling at Amy. Amy was red in the face.

"But, but, I didn't send…"

"Oh, yes you did! Little do we know you made a big mistake and sent it to me?"

"But I…"

"Hey, guys!" I distract them. I was wearing my cheerleading clothes, just like the rest of the girls. I threw my pompoms on the grass. I hated the pink pompoms so much. Amy looks up, like she's about to cry. "But if you didn't, who did?" Kite snaps loudly. "I didn't!" shouts Daisy. "Well, I certainly didn't!" Kite shouts. I flinch and secure my ponytail. But, Melanie, who was surprisingly our coach, saw me and yelled, "Hey, Kitrina! Hair out!" she yells at me. I quickly took my band out. "Then it has to be SOMEONE! It HAS to be you, Amy! It was from your number!" spits Rakia madly. Then, Dan and Sam approaches. I groan. Then, Rakia forgot all about the phone incident and mocks, "Kit's boyfriend, Kit's boyfriend!" but Kite, Daisy and Amy didn't join in. The boys were doing there 'footy' unit. It was at LEAST better than this stupid cheerleading. "Then YOU did IT, Amy!" shouts Rakia. Amy had had enough. She turned red as tomato, tears running down her eyes. "I DIDN'T! Let's say Kit did it!" she yells so loud. I flinch some more. How did she…? Then I remembered. After I left her phone on that bench, I saw no one took it so I gave it to her. This was bad. I wish I never came. Dan and Sam had left their bottles or something near the bench. Rakia was taken aback. "Then WHO DID?!? Was it you, Kitrina?!" Rakia asks furiously. I look around for help but Tally was still at the doctors. "Um…." I mumble. "Well?"

"I didn't do it!" I murmur quietly. Great. Fibber. Where did that come from? "We better go," Dan mumbles to Sam. But Kite aback them. "No! no one's going until we find out WHO sent that text message!" she spits. I sigh. Well, what should I do? Our rest of cheerleading was going to continue in ten minutes. Sam and Dan begin to walk away when Daisy stops them. "Stop walking away! Your footy thing starts in 10 mins! We have a problem here!" Daisy snaps at both of them. I wanted to run away. The boys stay still. I rub my green eyes. "Wait. It HAS to be Kit. After all, she's the one who gave me my phone yesterday. Remember? Don't you, Kite?" Amy explains, tears still running from her eyes. Rakia looks at me as if she wants an answer. I suck my cheek bones. "OK, OK, look, guys. I did send it. But it was because of that rumor. I'm not jealous, trying to break up your friendship but there are heaps of other reasons," I say flatly. Amy looks at me sadly. It wasn't really fair. Half of me was ashamed of myself and the other half wanted to scream and Amy for starting to whole issue herself. Rakia looks as if she could kill me. "We should go," says Dan flatly. "No!" yells, Rakia, Kite and Daisy. I didn't want boys to be in this problem. "Maybe they should," I tell them. "This is our problem, not theirs," I try to talk Rakia out of the boys staying here. It didn't work. "Then could you tell me, Kitrina Traveski, why are there hundreds of reasons you sent that horrid message?" Rakia glared. "Er, do you want me to name them or is it multiple choice?" I ask dryly. Kite and Daisy glowers. "Hey, girls! It's training time!" I heard Melanie's voice. I look at Amy. Then at Dan and Sam. Then at Rakia, Kite and Daisy.

Chapter 7

I tell Tally the problem yesterday. "Who cares?" she points out. "They all deserve it!"

I shrug and look out the window of the caf. It was snowing a little. This was unusual because it's usually the time of Christmas which it snows. I feel like crying. Rakia moved schools last night but I didn't really know why. I bet it's because of me. Daisy got the flu so she's not here and Kite has extra tutoring practice today so she's not here. So poor Amy had to wander around the caf alone. I feel sorry for her but I know that she won't accept it when I invite her to sit. I sigh and push the pasta around glumly.

After lunch caf, we were allowed to go outside but I didn't feel like it. But I did, just without Tally. "Ur, Tally? Can I just walk around the yards alone?" I ask her solemnly. She nods and smiles a little smile. I got out my coat from the cloakrooms and wandered around in the snow. I didn't care if it was freezing or whatever. I feel miserable. Year seven totally sucks. "Hi Kit," I hear a voice behind him. I spin around. It's Dan. I groan and walk a few steps away from him but I stop and spin around again. Stupid, stupid, dumbo. What was I doing? Avoiding him or not? "Wait. Amy told me to send this to you," I says a few seconds later. He gives me a note and I read it: Dear Kit, Are you still my friend? Well, Rakia moved because her family and Kite's family were feuding and if you think that it was because of you, it wasn't, honestly. What happened yesterday, forget about it? I'm so sorry that I and my gang made up a rumor about you. I really am. Will you forgive me? Please reply if you can. J Love, Amy

I smile as I read it. I took an orange pen from my pocket, leaned on a tree and scribbled something on the sheet. Yeah, but do you forgive me? I'm really sorry that I sent such a 'horrid' message and pretended it was you. I really am sorry. Wanna be friends again?

I handed Dan the note back and smiled. "You can give to her," I say eventually. He smiles back a little smile then runs off. For a moment, I knew everything was going to be OK.
