Fake Smiles
Hallie Edmunds sat in her little plastic chair sipping on her water bottle. Her mother had warned her not to get her dress dirty. She observed the scene around her. There was an odd boy in a bow tie talking excitedly to a boy with a red ice lolly, there was 2 girls talking like there was no tommorow and a girl smirking, who looked like more trouble than she was worth. There were more people obviously, but in her 6 year old mind, these people stood out most to Hallie.
Later, Hallie would learn these people's names, know thier every secret, every disire, everything. The odd boy in the bow tie would grow up to be Chuck Bass, the womanising pig. The other boy (the one with a big red ice lolly) would grow to become Nate Archibald, who every girl had a crush on. The 2 girls would grow up to be the inseparable and infamous, Serena van der Woodsen and Blair Waldorf. And the smirking girl? Georgina Sparks (btw, Hallie called it).
Ever since she was born, Hallie Edmunds was always a quiet child. It certainly didn't help matters that her parents were to busy to spare one minute of thier precious time to care or love Hallie. Over time, Hallie became quieter and quieter until there would be months on end of silence.
"Hey weirdo." 8th grade Chuck sneered. Hallie spared him a look before turning back to the wall she was staring at. "Hey! I'm talking to you. I'm Chuck Bass, I always get what I want." Chuck insisted. Hallie shrugged as if to say 'I-don't-give-a-fuck-who-you-are'. Chuck growled at her like he was a dog of some sort.
"Come on dude. Let's go." Nate groaned tugging on his arm. Chuck narrowed his eyes at Hallie. "Don't think this is the end of this." Chuck warned. 'Damn right it isn't.' Hallie thought to herself scheming on which scheme would bring the most pain to her bully. The only skills she excelled in were music and technology. Music certainly wasn't going to help her. But... She might be on the right track with the other one...
Hallie needed targets. Maybe a select group of some sort. She felt something collide with her shoulder sending her face palming the ground. "Oh my gosh! I'm so sorry." Serena said helping her up. "No, we're not that sorry actually." Blair retorted. Hallie smiled to herself. These girls are close enough. They'll do, they'll do just fine.
Hallie shrugged picking up her books. "Do you talk?" Serena asked curiously. Hallie grit her teeth at the question, and now she had a legitimate justification too. "Sometimes. But usually I don't want to waste my breath on annoying, babbling idiots such as yourselves." Hallie replied.
Blair raised an eyebrow. "Rude much?" Blair asked shaking with fury. Suprisingly, Hallie replied with a toothy smile. "Thank you, Blair Waldorf." Hallie replied before turning on her heel and strolling to History class. 'This should be fun.' Hallie thought to herself grinning.
