CHAPTER 11

-AUSTIN’S POV-

I loved her. I loved Selena Rose Murphy. And she loved me back. Wow, things have really changed.

My plan of revenge was-of course-"dead and gone". I had absolutely no intention of hurting her in any possible way anymore. Who would have thought my "dream girl" would be a tiny little emo?

***
"Ugh, please let me skip! I really don’t want to take that chemistry test!" Selena whined and tried to pull away from my hand, but I was too strong for her tiny figure.

"Come on, let’s just go in and get it over with," I smiled and dragged her across the school lawn.

"FINE! But if I fail, it’s going to be your entire fault!" She yelled loudly and everyone snickered. She made a little face and muttered something about "wishing the sky would just fall on her". I had to laugh at that-she was so over dramatic, but I guess that was one of her little charms.

As soon as we walked in, people started to gather around us. We were the center of attention while Angela lingered around the outside of the little circle, jealousy oozing out of her. The conversation flowed around us easily, jumping from topics and gossips. The biggest conversation starter was the upcoming Spring dance. Girls giggled about their dates and dresses while the guys talked excitedly of the after party and beers.

Suddenly, I felt a pull on my Polo. I turned around to see Jake standing there, tugging at my shirt.

"Dude, look at that hot girl!" He pointed his finger at a girl that I’ve never seen around school.

Her long, wavy hair had a red tint in it and it went all the way down to the middle of her back. Her huge blue-green eyes looked like they were concentrating and studying something very hard. She had long legs and a nice curvy figure. The new girl was very petite, only a little taller than Selena. She had an intense gaze and her eyes seemed to roam around everyone, but it would always settle back on me and Selena. Overall, she reminded me a lot of Lindsay Lohan but with clearer skin.

"I think she’s new. Aw, this is awesome! SHE’S SO MINE! I CALLED IT!" I heard Jake yell and all the guys groaned and whined.

"Hey, Austin, be my wingman! You better not screw this up...or else!" Jacob whispered in my ear evilly and shoved me roughly, into the mystery girl’s direction.

As soon as she saw me coming, her eyes brightened up and her lips pulled up into a coy smile, revealing her perfect set of teeth.

"Um, hi. You must be new here…" This was awkward already. I could feel stares boring into the back of my head and when I turned around sure enough, people were looking right at us. I looked to the side to see Selena whispering with one of our friends, Carrie, looking discouraged.

I gave her a reassuring smile and waved lightly. Then I heard the new girl clearing her throat to gain my attention again. I turned my head back quickly and smiled shyly.

"Actually, I am. My name’s Elle, Elle Sparks to be exact. How about you?" She had a high pitched, flirty voice like Selena. I grinned to myself. Now days, little things like that made me smile.

"Oh, that’s cool. I’m Austin, by the way. Austin Smith."

Elle seemed sweet and innocent. I knew right away that she would get along well with Selena AND Jacob.

-Selena’s POV-

"Stop worrying about it! He friggin’ loves you to death, he won’t cheat on you! TRUST ME!" Carrie said, reassuringly, and patted my back. She combed through her dark brown hair and smile back with her golden eyes.

"I know, but how can I NOT worry about it?! DO YOU SEE THAT GIRL!
She looks like Lindsay Lohan but HOTTER!" I sounded panicky but I couldn’t help it. I was having a little spaz attack. It would do more than just "break my heart" if Austin left me.

Carrie just shrugged indifferently, not helping me at all.

***
I walked into the mall grumpily, already in a bad mood.

"Stupid Lindsay Lohan. Stupid chemistry test." I grumbled all the way to Hot Topic.

When I walked in, I felt a little better.

"T.G.I.F. Selena!" I heard my manager, Curt, yell as soon as I walked in.

"Your such a dork, Ferb…but thanks." I grinned. Curt’s nickname was Ferb because of his little green Mohawk and his randomness.

I was feeling a bit better until I saw little Miss Lindsay Lohan walking in with a tight purple skinny jean.

"Speak of the devil…" I whispered under my breath, glaring at the back of her perfect body.

I knew I shouldn’t judge people before I even talked to them but I guess I was just a little nervous of losing Austin. I took a deep breath and tried to avoid her as much as possible.

My mood got a lot better when I heard the song "New Divide" by Linkin Park starting to blast out from the store radio. I sang along loudly, ignoring the stares and glares.

"I remembered black skies, the lightning all around me
I remembered each flash, as time began to blur
Like a startling sign, that fate had finally found me
And your voice was all I heard
That I get what I deserve

So give me reason, to prove me wrong, to wash this
memory clean
Let the floods cross the distance in your eyes
Give me reason, to fill this hole, connect the space
between
Let it be enough to reach the truth that lies
Across this new divide"

I was dancing around crazily, totally forgetting about the new display of Nirvana and Blink-182 band tees I was supposed to work on AND Lindsay Lohan. By the time the song ended, I was in an awesome mood.

I quickly tried to work on the display before it was closing time. I grabbed the tees, trying to organize them in a pile. Just in a matter of minutes, I was done. I grinned in pride and stepped back to take a look at my handy work. But before I could, I ran into someone.

"HEY! WATCH WHERE YOU’RE GOING!" I whirled around to see who that someone was. Of course, with my luck, it was LINDSAY LOHAN.

"Uh, are you talking to me?!" She yelled just as loudly.

"Who else?! THE FLOOR?!" I smirked at her stupidity.

"Oh I’m so sorry...that YOU weren’t paying attention!" She sneered back at me.

We both stood there, glaring at each other, fuming. Just then, a huge group of preppies walked by. One of them, a tall surfer looking guy with carefully gelled hair and a tight Abercrombie muscle shirt called out, "Ooh shortie cat fight!".

At the same time, Lindsay Lohan and I yelled back, "I’M NOT SHORT, I’M FUNSIZED!" We both turned around in shock, with my eyes popping open.

‘OMG, a kindred spirit’ I thought to myself. I could a feel that we were so totally going to the best of friends. Right then and there, I made myself forget about the judgments that I had made about her before.

"I’m Elle," She introduced herself, giggling a little. Her laugh was contagious and before we knew it, we were on the floor hysterically laughing for no reason at all.

Gosh, I was so wrong about this girl. I kind of felt guilty for judging her.
But it’s all cool now, right?

From that moment on, I knew I had found my "Harper". I was Alex Russo-a.k.a. Selena Gomez-and Elle was my Harper, my true BFF. You wouldn’t get it unless you watched "Wizards of Waverly Place" on Disney Channel…Austin would get a kick out of this-if he heard that I still watched Disney Channel…WHAT?! I baby sit for my little brother all the time and he loves that show…Don’t judge me!

At the mere thought of it, I started to laugh all over again and so did Elle.

-ELLE’S POV-

"I’ll see you tomorrow at school!" I yelled back at her, waving innocently.

This was going to be more than easy, a piece of cake.
I was a quick observer and right away I knew who I had to be "friends" with if I wanted to be on top of the social ladder and achieve being Prom Queen. Some might think of it as being shallow, but I know what I wanted, and I wanted it bad. And if anyone got in my way, I knew what I had to do…Evil? I know-it’s in my genes.

In my old school, I was always the "nerd"/"dork". All I was ever good at was using my brain. Of course, it was a good thing now. I USED to be so ugly, that my nickname was "Ugly Elle", ya know, instead of "Ugly Betty"? I never had a boyfriend before and I was never the one for socializing. People didn’t even know I existed, except for some people who bullied me but that didn’t count. Besides, half those people thought that I was mental or something and couldn’t talk. It was harsh and cruel. But thank god I got over it, because this year I was different. I was finally confident, pretty, and I knew how to get guys. This year was going to be MY year. It was my last chance in High School to prove to those jackasses at my old school, that I could be Prom Queen. I didn’t know how far I would hurt somebody to do it, but I knew I was determined enough to break Selena’s heart to do it. If that’s what it took then by all means, I would do it.

Anyway, back to my evil plan.

It was obvious who ruled the school- Austin Smith and his little emo gal pal, Selena – but not for long. It was also obvious that Selena was only "cool" because of Austin. Without him, she would be another pathetic outcast, just like I used to be. Now all I had to do was separate them. That was probably going to be hard, but I would do it. I knew it.

The plan was all set and ready to go.

Become "BFF’s" with Selena and Austin, separate the happy little couple (I didn’t know how but I would figure it out), take my rightful place as Austin’s girlfriend, and then the rest would be easy. I would be the popular new girl and the gorgeous Prom Queen! Nice. I liked that idea.

'Sorry, Selena "Gomez" wanna be. Everything is not what it seems...' I thought/sang in my head to the corny song on "Wizards of Waverly Place", laughing like a crazy, evil scientist.

NOTE - The picture is Lindsay Lohan :] (the REAL one..haha)
