Change

Chapter 1

🌸BETHANY'S P.O.V.🌸

Change. Having a change was the least I could think of. I mean, I didn't even think or care of it for a split second. Never have I ever, wanted to change myself. The boyish, nerdish and childish me. No one even noticed me or talked to me. And here I was, at the mall, with my Aunt Frannie who came home after ten long years, shopping for new outfits, make ups, and girlish stuff I didn't even know existed.

"Aunt Fran?" I asked. She hummed in response. "Is this really necessary? I mean, do I have to do this?" I asked. She sighed and dropped the dress she was holding and placed it on top of the waiting chair. "It's never too late to back out Beth. It's your choice if you want a new change of clothes, face essentials, bags and extremely expensive perfume for free or not." She said. "Expensive? You told me it didn't cost a fortune!" I shouted. "Who said it costed a fortune? It costs the life of freakin' God!" Aint Fran shouted. "No need to shout Auntie. We're in public." I said smiling at the other customers who glanced curiously at our direction. "Fine, try this dress on and I'll buy you a set of lingeries at Victoria's Secret." She said making me groan. "What am I? A stripper? I don't need lingeries Auntie!" I protested. "You'll never know my dear. You'll never know." She winked making me roll my eyes

—*—

So this is the day that I have been waiting for.You suckers will see the new Bethany Emma Rogers! My aunt took me to school since she couldn't trust me and thought that I would hide behind a tree and change and ruin her "masterpiece". "What are you waitin' for?! Get your *** in there! And Bettie," I glanced at her and she smoldered. "Game face on. Your curves are full, you have a thin waist, you have a coca cola body shape, you're almost perfect btch!" She chuckled making me turn around and roll my eyes. I sighed and started to walk. When I reached the Campus' main door, I walked in and the usual, people chit chatting, some flirting and some just staring at the wall. And then I heard someone wolf whistle. Ugh, Clive Jonathan Boyer.

"Well, well, well. Look what we got here boys!" He shouted, loud enough for everyone to hear. Everyone looked at me. Some wolf whistled like Clive did.And some are analyzing me from head to toe. "Oh please Clive just leave me alone for once in your life will ya?" I asked. "What if I don't want to?" He asked stepping closer. He's invading my personal bubble. Arsehole. "Then step out of my way!" I shouted. And then I realized,

Iam so dead!

I calmed down. And to my surprise, he wasn't mad. "What if I don't want to do that to?" He challenged. "Then do something you want." I replied. "This is what I want." He said stepping a little more closer making me step back. If he steps forward, I step backward. Repeatedly. And then I gasped when my back comes in contact with the wall. He rested his hand next to my head while the other grabbed my waist.

I can't breathe! Open your mouth dumbass! I'm trying! Inhale, exhale! Repeat! It doesn't work! Well then, shoot myself for that! "Why don't you go and have fun with Heather huh? She's your girlfriend anyway! And don't come near me ever again. I don't want to get into trouble." I told him. Clive has always been bullying me since the 1st grade. I don't know why but he keeps making fun of me.

My Mom told me that if boys keep teasing you, it means that they like you.

Clyde(his brother) was leaning on one of the lockers and staring at me. When Clive didn't move a muscle, I pushed him and walked away. I can still feel Clyde's gaze when I left. I entered my first class only to be greeted by a loud squeal. I closed my eyes and smiled. "OMG Bethany!!! You look so hot and beautiful! I like it! Please stay like this." My bestfriend Samantha said. "Thanks Sam. But I don't know if I can stay like this." When she was about to reply, a very familiar voice called my name. Sam gave me a knowing look. "Hey Bethany." I turned around and saw Vivian.

Of course every school there will always be a slut.

Like Vivian.

"Hi." I greeted. "I was wondering if you would like to come to Heather's party tonight. 7PM Sharp. I'll text you the address. Is it still your number?" She asked and I nodded. "Stay away from Clive. Remember, you have been warned."

And with that, she turned around and left. We used to be bestfriends. And now we're not. But I don't want to stay with snakes and plastics. So I ended our friendship and I made sure to avoid her. "You going Beth? Because I'm not." Sam said. "I don't know. Like I said, I'll think about it. And I didn't ask you to come." When I realized that I was too rude I clamped my mouth with hand. Sam never got tired of me no matter how harsh, mean, or rude I am to her sometimes. And that's what friends are for. "OMG! Sam I'm sorry. You can go to the party if you want and if I decide to go, you can come with me." I told her. "It's fine Beth. I'm used to it. Just no leaving each other okay?" She asked and I nodded and smiled.

We have been bestfriends since Somophore Year. And look at us now. Still together. There is only one thing I'm waiting for..... Chemistry class. Because my seatmate is Clyde Boyer. The hottest, nicest and most handsome guy in Campus. Clive is the womanizer. No wonder he's in a relationship with the Campus' Second Slut. Well, Vivian liked Clyde so, Clive has no choice. Clive and Clyde are twin brothers. They look exactly like each other. Although Clyde's hair and outfit is neat and in a gentelman style..Clive, is the bad boy. He kinda turns me off.

You like him though.

Oh shut up!

—*—

I entered my next class which is Chemistry...

Meaning I'll get to see Clyde!

Oh snap out of it, just take a seat.

I didn't know that someone was already beside me.Until, someone spoke. "Hey Bethany." 'Twas Clyde.

This is rare!

He hasn't talked to me in ages! Maybe it's just because of my new change of style? He has a girlfriend though, Vivian. "Hi." I replied. "I heard you're coming to the party?" He asked. "About that, I'm still kinda thinkin' 'bout it." I replied. "Oh well you should come." He said."Can you tell your girlfriend I can't come?" His eyes widened and he looked at me with a questioning look. Vivian told me to keep away from Clyde. Because he's hers. "Who?" Clyde asked me. "Nevermind Clyde. I don't wanna talk about it." I blushed. "It's okay I won't judge. I promise." He raised his hand, court style. "Uh— Err— Vivian and I used to be very bestfriends. And she knew that you were my seatmate in Chemistry class. And then after a while, she betrayed me. She didn't even deny it when I asked her if she really said a lot of things behind my back. And so, I cut things with her. And then one time, she came near me and told me to stay away from you. I thought she was your girlfriend." I didn't realize that his hand was already on top of mine. "She was never my girlfriend. The guys teased me to her but I never liked her. Well, I did that's why I'm gonna use you." He muttered the last part and I couldn't seem to understand it.."I'm sorry what?" I asked and he tucked a lock of hair behind my ear. "Nevermind Bethany." He replied. "Okay. If you say so." I replied.

I wore my gloves again and continued to mix the potion stuff. It started to errupt like a volcano, meaning I did it properly. The Professor glanced at us and smiled. "Class, I believe we have a winner." He announced. "Good job Bethany." Clyde gave me two thumbs ups. "Was this teamwork or individual work?" The professor asked. I knew just what to reply. "Indi—" When Clyde was about to reply, I cut him off by placing my hand on top of his right thigh. "Teamwork sir." I replied. Clyde looked at me and smiled. He even placed his hand on top of mine. I forgot one thing, Vivian was here.

And then the bell rang. "You did a great job Bethany. You didn't have to do that though. I'm fine with it being individual. You did most of it anyway." Clyde told me when we were on our way to the cafeteria. "Well I had to. I mean, I feel bad if I don't." I replied. "Thanks anyway." He hugged me and I hugged him back and then someone pulled my hair making me turn around.

'Twas Vivian. Fuming with anger.

"Vivian what the hell?!" I asked. "I told you to stay away from him!" She shouted. "Well who are you? My mother?! You can't tell me what to do. And Clyde isn't yours so stop warning me. Because I will be the one warning you. Just because you like him, doesn't mean he's yours! Why don't you just leave my life alone?! After calling me a slut and *****! Are you describing yourself Vivian?! Just leave me alone! " I walked away but Clyde followed me.

Hugging my waist. "Bethany please don't go." He begged. "Oh God you smell so good." He complimented. I chuckled. "Fine." I replied and he hugged me, again. "Can you warn me if you hug me?" I asked. "Oh yeah, sorry. Can I hug you?" He asked. I laughed and nodded. We hugged for a while. And then we decided to go to the cafeteria. We turned around and walked towards Vivian. I mean walked past Vivian. Her mouth was open. "Close the door!" I shouted not daring to look back. And someone's hand was interwined with mine.
