V for Vaunty

She strutted down the brightly lit corridor, hand on her hip. Smirking at her fans, who were lined up along the corridor, she waved a perfectly manicured hand. Her long, shiny, black  hair cascaded down her shoulders in perfectly spaced out waves and her bright, green eyes had the look of triumph that most popular girls' eyes had. 

In some ways, Nicole wished she could be more like Jenni Howard. The most popular girl in the school, Jenni had won over a fifty medals and cups for the school in various competitions. She was always nice and sweet to her friends and well-behaved to her teachers. She was well dressed and had a great fashion sense.

However, there were some disadvantages to being Jenni Howard. She was only nice and sweet to her friends, for example. She had been quite mean to a few of Nicole's friends more than once and bullied the younger kids by calling them tiny and silly.

Nicole stepped out of her place in the neatly organized line, and assumed a position in the middle of the corridor, blocking kids going to their classes. Blocking Jenni. As Jenni and her sidekicks approached, Jenni stopped smirking and began to frown instead.

"Hey, get out of the way. We're going to our classes, can't you see?" Jenni said loudly.

"Yeah, I can see quite clearly, thanks. Um, Mrs. Johnson asked for your chart. She wanted to, uh, exhibit it in the Science exhibition," Nicole said with a smug smile,"but I can see that you don't want to, ahem, so never mind."

Saying so she stepped back to the side of the corridor.

"Um…" Jenni replied, clearly thinking hard. "You can't just block students going to their classes, you know? But, just this once I'll forgive you and give you what you want."

Jenni handed over a bright pink chart with information written on it with a gold metallic pen. Nicole looked at it for a second and then gave a disdainful look at Jenni. 

"Huh. Well, okay. I'm not sure Mrs. Johnson'll be too happy with it but never mind, we'll see, okay?" she said jeeringly.

"Okay, yeah, whatever," Jenni muttered, looking furious.

Nicole turned around and began walking down the corridor. One step higher with Project: Disbanding Popular Girl.
