👑Victoria Harris👑
Tori was just about walk into the club when flashes flickered, instantly blinding her. Blinking for several moments, Tori's eyes finally adjusted and she could see who was taking pictures. It wasn't a surprise to find none other than Sidney Garland standing in front of her. Just what I needed... Sidney always seemed to be around whenever drama came up, she was after all one of the school reporters. Not only was it inconvenient, but completely annoying. Half of what she gossiped about wasn't even true. Weren't journalists suppose to report the complete truth? How did Sidney even know Tori was here? Tori bit her soft pink lips, hoping the situation wouldn't turn into some fantasy story attacking her.
"I'm sure your lovely fans would love to know why you, little miss perfect is joining this club, hmm? I mean...you don't really believe in ghosts and stuff, do you?" Sidney asked, bombarding her with questions.
Before Tori had time to reply to Sidney, a delinquent girl, rambling about pen gods and other nonsense, rushed in and smashed her head against the desk where Anndy Anderson, the president of the club, was sitting at.I knew this club was going to be strange but this? Stepping into the room was getting harder every second. Maybe this was a bad idea? She didn't have long to divulge into her thoughts when Andy walked up to them.
“Sorry to interrupt. I’m Andy Anderson, club president. Great to meet you all. You’re here for the S.P.I.R.I.T. club, right? Why don’t you come on in?” Andy said, inviting them in. Tori hesitated, not only because she was unsure about coming, but because Sidney would be following her in. The girl was absolutely ruthless and would go to any lengths to get a juicy story. Today the topic would no doubt be about her.
“You should probably stop with the pen-clicking, to prevent further, ah… injuries." Andy said to Sidney. This president was hilarious if he thought he could get Sidney do what she was told. This girl was a journalist for goodness sake, one who only listened to things that pertained to upcoming stories. Tori was sure the troublesome girl didn't even have friends, due to her constant gossiping.
"Thank you, Angie. I'll come in just a second, She said to Andy, and turned to Sidney "Hello Sidney! How are you doing? I haven't talked to you for ages but it seems you know what I've been up to. I'd appreciate it you didn't use my pictures in any newspaper, blogs, or wherever else you post your stories. My father would extremely be against that, and well, you know my dad. Anyway, I guess I better go inside. It was nice seeing you!" Tori said, hoping to get the pesky reporter out of her business. Coming to this club was hard enough without dealing with Sidney. She wouldn't be surprised if news of her joining the club circulated the school by tomorrow morning. Not that Tori cared of course, that was the whole point of joining the club, to let the student body know she was just as much human as they were.
Not even looking back at Sidney, Tori walked into the Biology classroom and took a seat in the middle of the room. She smiled at Andy. They had never met before but Tori assumed Andy already knew her. Assessing the boy's looks, she almost snorted at his nerdy glasses. Why are you being so mean again! Stop it! She yelled at herself. No matter how hard she tried, Tori always seemed to judge people by their clothes, shoes, makeup, anything she found that wasn't up to her standards. She hated herself for it.
Looking around the room, she that found five people, including herself, were there. The only person she seemed to know was Sidney. Someone with long dark hair also stood in the room. Boy, girl? Tori really couldn't tell. It didn't really matter though, she only hoped that he or she wouldn't stir anymore trouble. The mad pen girl, who had stormed in earlier, was also in the room. She hated problematic kids, couldn't they just pull themselves together for school? They thought they could do whatever they wanted without facing the consequences. She rolled her dark green eyes in annoyance and stared out of the class window, her mind wandering off into careless daydreams.
