Mikaela walked down the halls with her girls following behind her as if they were her own shadow. "I need to hit up my locker before we go to class because I do not feel like lugging my bag around all day" Mikaela said over the voices of hallway chatter going on. When she looked at it she found it weird how high school was diverse and yet completely segregated. Within the school there were all these different people who all looked, acted, and talked differently and had separate interest. Yet they all made the decision to stay with those who in a way was like themselves. She figured it was just a comfort zone sort of thing, people just felt more comfortable being themselves with people who were like them.
As she strolled down the hall she noticed Ian walking in the opposite direction. She couldn't help the bad feeling she always got when she saw him around. While in middle school things just got better for her things went south for Ian. In elementary school no one cared about what you wore or how smart you were or any of that. When one gets to middle school however those things start to matter and Ian's smarts and her cheerleading just caused them to split ways. It saddened her when she thought about all the fun they had when they were little but that was the past and this was the present and in the present there was no future of friendship for the two of them.
The eruption of laughter in the halls caused Mikaela to stop to see what was going on. On the floor she saw Ian and while in her heart she wanted to go help her former friend out her mind told her it wasn't the right move. She watched as Nicole one of the other cheerleaders walked over to him "Careful where you step, honey," while the words came out sweetly the sarcasm behind it was obvious. As Ian got up off the floor he continued on his way and Nicole who noticed Mikaela by standing.
"I swear I love going to school full of nerds. They are so clumsy and geeky its hilar." Mikaela said nothing to her as she just turned and walked down to where her locker was located. Sensing a change in her mood Alison another one of her cheerleading friends asked "What's wrong Kale? Don't tell me your feeling sorry for the little dweb. I mean its not like someone pushed him into a locker or something he just fell on his face," rolling her eyes as she finished putting in her combination she opened her locker door. "Aww Kale. You do feel bad for the loser," Nicole said attempting to hold in what came out as a muffled chuckle came out "If you want you can go give the little freak hug. Tell him its all going to be okay or whatever."
Mikaela felt herself getting upset but she repressed it putting on a simple smile as she got out the books she needed and turned to the girls "We should get going I don't wanna be late for first period." Checking her reflection in the mirror that was placed on the inside of her locker door she messed around in her hair for a moment before giving herself a satisfied smile. Handing her things to Nicole to hold she closed and relocked her locker "Let's go ladies" she said as she started walking her friends following behind her.
