Being two completely different person can be such a pain in the ass sometimes. Im not saying that i pretended to be someone else all im saying is that, being someone else in school and be the real you at home is my case here.
Its my junior year this year as i lie in bed completely awake since 4 in the morning debating with myself why do i keep up this act for 3 years now? Well, lets just say that being who i am today is someone i've gotten used to by now.
Back in middle school, i was the shy girl with the braces and the bangs with two cute bestfriends that stuck by my side even though i wasnt that popular like them. All that changed during my freshmen year in high school. I was sick with jealousy that both my two close friends were both popular even though we just started high school, while i was the outcast amongst them.
So i changed. Even though dad is rich and a well known businessman, that didnt help boost up my popularity. I just took a little advantage about that and poof! Head cheerleader, popular girl in school, wears fashionable clothes, owns the latest red lambourghini and for the past two years, slept with almost all the hot football players and the popular rich handsome guys.
Even though i was the 'it' girl in school and has all the labels that maintains my reputation in school, i immediately went back to being the normal, shy and reserved person i truely am as soon as i stepped inside my bedroom which is the only place i know that i can finally push the bitchy mean girl act aside, and let the goofy nerdy awkward ari to take over.
Its a tiring job, trust me. But its worth it though, i get to have all the attention and the popularity and im used to it even though it pains me everytime when i hear myself being labeled as the schools slut or whore.
My alarm started blaring right beside me on top of of my nightstand, pulling me out of my thoughts and i released a sigh before reaching one hand out to hit the snooze button. I finally sat up in my large queen sized bed and stared idly around my room. Time to get ready for school.
I slowly made my way towards my bathroom and did my morning routine. After that i pulled my brand new cheerleading outfit from my walk in closet and set it aside on my bed. Still dressed in my white fluffy bathroom robe, i started to do my own makeup. Even with this lack of skills of mine, i still did a good job on my face that makes me look completely different. The look just screamed "confident and popular" to anyone that dares to look more closely.
After doing my makeup, i started doing my hair. Separating the top half of my hair from the bottom, i secured it with a blue ribbon and make a so called bow on the top of my head. Its all cheerleader hairstyle, letting my hair flowed down in waves on my back. Once im done, i turned around and glanced at the navy blue cropped sleeveless tight top with the letter S written in silver on the front with the matching short skirt that ends at mid thigh.
Being the head cheerleader is a handful job, now this year i have to recruit new cheerleaders in the squad since the senior cheerleaders last year have moved on to college now. I finally put on the outfit and grabbed my school bag and my new iphone off its charger and walked out of the room heading downstairs to get breakfast.
Dad was sitting at the dining table drinking coffee with his eyes glued on his laptop that sat in front of him. Clearly everywhere dad goes, business follows. I sat down beside him and the house maid poured coffee in my mug.
"Morning daddy!" I chirped happily and he finally glanced up and smiled at me.
"Morning sweetheart. Ready for your first day in junior year?" He asked happily. Dad was completely okay with the new change i had made in my life back in my freshmen year. I thought he would be confused or something and he was when he finally caught up to the different act whenever i came back home from school. Just like i am, hes used to me living a double life even though he told me to just be myself at school also. Yeah as if thats easy.
"Nothing im over-excited about dad, its just school. Same old stuff repeating itself every year." I responded while nibbling on my toast. He nods and went back to his laptop. I love my dad, even if it just the two of us since my mom left us because she cant stand living a life without any luxury taste in it. Dad was broke back then, but then ever since mom left he bounced back to base and now hes one of the richest man here in miami and a successful businessman. Take that mother!
After devouring my breakfast that only includes toast and coffee cos honestly being a cheerleader has its own rules when it comes to food which i absolutely hate about being a cheerleader. I mumbled a quick bye to my dad and walked outside and thanked our butler that drove my baby to the front driveway.
I jumped in the drivers seat and threw my bag on the passeger seat and drove to school. Sterling high school. The school well known for its drama and trouble badboys and well known hot football players and their hot cheerleaders. I quickly reached out a finger and blasted the song in full volume that was starting on my radio system.
No guidance by chris brown feat drake. God i just love chris brown and his voice. I met him once at coachella last year, backstage after his performance. It was one of the many happy moments in my life. With the music blaring out of my car, i drove through at the familiar parking lot in school and all eyes were on my car that was thumping with music.
Parking at my reserved parking spot at the side of the lot that only cheerleaders use the entire particular space for their cars only. Like i said, sterling high is also well known for rich snobby kids like others to have their reserved parking space. Just as i pulled up, the familiar silver ferrari pulled up on my right while the black sleek mercedes pulled up on my left.
I smiled happily that my two close bestfriends have arrived almost every time as soon as i did. I killed the engine and grabbed my bag and slides out of the car as soon as the door slides up for me to get out.
"Ari!" My two besties joanna michelson and shay anderson cried out happily in unison. We all embraced each other in a group hug as if we havent seen each other ever since school break started when truth is, they've been at my place almost everyday. And yes, they also know about my switch-a-roo cos its our sworn secret and my own personal drama i had to deal with everyday as soon as i stepped inside the school.
"Girl its been ages, i missed you!" Joanna gushed excitedly and i playfully rolled my eyes at her.
"Jo we've been together last weekend."
"I know, i just want to say that cos it sound so dramatic." We chuckled while walking towards the entrance of the school, with the three of us all dressed up in our cheerleading outfit.
Joanna and shay have been my bestfriends since 1st grade. Jonanna is a gorgeous mocha beauty from puerto rico that has beautiful brown hair and light grey eyes. Shes the dramatic, funny and easy going amongst us three. Her parents are also business partners with my dad and she has an older brother that is in college by now named jordan, whom i have hooked up with for a while since last year.
Shay is the gentle, sweet and kind one from us three. Shes a pretty lightskinned Peruvian angel that has long brown hair and gorgeous hazel eyes. Her parents are both highly paid lawyers and shes got a younger brother who is a freshman now here in sterling high.
As for me, well all i know is that dad is half italian which explains my pretty genes and well for my sorry excuse of a mother, shes just plain american. I love my girls and we all have one thing in common, its that we dont do dates just hump and dump or maybe play around with the guys for a month or so and then move on to the next one. But as for shay and i, we both started to notice that earlier this year, joanna is completely smitten by josh park, one of the hottest football player and a part time lead singer in the school band called the "The storms" and damn that guy can sing, and also the only guy in the football team here in sterling high I haven't slept with because I cared about Joanna's crush on him.
I went over to my locker enjoying the envious looks and jealousy on most ordinary girls faces and the wolf whistles and winks from the guys. I grabbed my books for my first class which is english lit, and made my way to class.
Hopefully this year, as a junior i might actually get to show the real me someday but i know the chances in that one are slim but who knows, maybe letting a few things out in the open during certain events wont make anyone noticed about my slip up.
