Chapter 39 Not a Vacation
Last Updated:
2024-10-29 19:42:56I sat on my chair and placed my bag on my desk. I was preparing myself to sleep while the professor was still out when I noticed a shadow casting over my desk.
“I heard from Xander that the project was your idea.” I almost rolled my eyes as I heard Romeo talking.
I looked at him with a frown. “You guys were supposed to carry me for this project. Why am I the one giving out ideas!? I am not the nerd in the group.”
“Err…” Romeo hesitated. “I don’t think that you should outright admit that you don’t plan on helping out with the project.” He says while masking an awkward look on his face.
“What’s the difference? I already expressed my opinion from the start.” I crossed my arms ov

Monday morning, a few days since Leo told me they would leave me in charge of the school. I have never looked forward to school since today! It has been a while since cool girl Hailey Mae Collins rule the school again.No more forced lunch dates and meetings with them. And especially, no one would be telling me what to do.For a week that is.I yawned loudly and took a sip of my hot coffee while I was waiting on set. My first day of being in charge of Waynard High and I am already up so early because of the change of schedule for my photoshoot. I don’t even know if it is karma for being this happy of being away from the student councils or not.“Ha - I mean - Felisha!” Kaila hissed at me while glowering at my slump form on the folding chair. &ldqu
The School's Cool Girl Chapter 41 Logs
The bell signaling the first period ended, and now I have at least half an hour’s rest before heading for my next class. I was planning on staying in the room until I remembered that I had to meet up with Stella and brief her on some things to take note of.I groaned and pulled my butt off my seat before heading to the school cafeteria where we were supposed to meet.As I was walking, I noticed that my phone my buzzing inside of my phone. When I checked the screen, I saw a message from the science project group chat. It was from Romeo. He was informing us that he couldn’t make it to school today.Great, two of my groupmates are going to be a no-show for our physics class. Perfect. At least I will have an excuse not to do anything during that time.As so
The School's Cool Girl Chapter 42 A Heroic Act by Collins
We finally reached the rooftop, and just as the kid opened the door for us, I saw one larger kid holding the other by his collar and lifting him up by the air.Nice. We were just in time for the drama. I thought as I observed the scene with excitement. I sure do hope that Stella’s watching me do nothing.“Dein, Conor, that’s enough! I brought miss Hailey with me. If you guys don’t want to get in trouble with the student council, then you guys better stop it right now.” I glared at the kid who brought us here. This little brat!And I was just starting to enjoy the show!“Miss Hailey is the peacekeeper, so I suggest that you boys cease your fighting,” Stella added
The School's Cool Girl Chapter 43 A Guy Named Ethan
“Hailey, if you want to skip work today, just say the words.” My friend, Kayla, said to me after I told her of the horrific events that afternoon. “You had a bad day today. I am sure that the director will understand if you can’t make it to the photoshoot.” I was in my trailer truck, where I headed the moment the afternoon classes were canceled because of the incident earlier. Normally, I would have gone home, but whenever I am alone, my mind will automatically fly to the scenario on the roof. My brain would start to fantasize all about the scene. It kept showing me what would have happened if I screwed up at some point and ended up dropping the kid. I shivered and started rubbing my arms out of fear. “I’m fine. Don’t worry about me, Kayla.” I forced a smile when I looked at her. “I can still do the photoshoot. And besides, isn’t today a very special day? We have a guest arriving soon. I don’t think that it would be nice to ditch work.” Kayla stared at me. She was obviously worrie
The School's Cool Girl Chapter 44 Cutting Classes
Maybe I should just drop out of class. Yes, that would be a very wise decision. If only my parents would agree with me on that request. After my shoot with Ethan, I did not respond to him and hastily made my way home. I did not even bother to give him a response to his question about whether I am Hailey or not - what’s the point? If I argue that I am not, that would just make me seem more guilty. I barely got any sleep during the weekend because of that, thus making me feel so exhausted while making my way to school. I was anxious that I would see Romeo today. My head kept on darting from left to right to keep a watchful eye on my surroundings for any sign of that weirdo new kid named Romeo. “Good morning, Hailey!” If I did not remind myself that I am in school and pretty much in a public place, I would have screamed and body slammed Sandy right there. “Sandy? What are you doing here? Shouldn’t you be on…tour?” I whispered. I may be stupid at times, but there is no way that I wo
The School's Cool Girl Chapter 45 A Troublesome Phone Call
I have this habit that I always do when I find myself in a troublesome situation. And that is ignoring the problem in front of me. I turn on my heels and pretend not to see Xander while I head for the opposite direction. “Where do you think you’re going?” Xander pulls the back collar of my uniform and make me face him. As soon as I see his face, I can already see the frown starting to form on his forehead. “You dragged me out here and you’re just going to leave?” “Every student for themselves.” I say it like it is supposed to be common knowledge. It only irritated Xander more. “Seriously, what is wrong with you?” He drapes a hand over his face like he’s trying to collect himself before breathing out a heavy sigh. “Never mind. Everything is wrong with you.” He grumbles before fishing his phone out of his pocket like he is calling for someone. “Are you saying that I am a weirdo?” I eye him carefully and wait for him to respond, but he’s too busy talking on the phone to even acknow
The School's Cool Girl Chapter 46 Charity for Kids
Going along with Xander is probably the worst thing that I have ever done in my entire life. We headed back to his house where we had to dress as Felisha and Gabrielle. I promise you, I did not do it willingly, but considering that most of this is my fault, I decided that it was not worth arguing about. While we were in his van, Xander kept on asking me why I was running away from Romeo, but I just did not find enough courage to tell him the whole story. I’m just not ready to share that information because it would just feel like I'm admitting that it did happen and I'm not ready to accept the fact that someone once again figured out my secret. It just adds to my anxiety, and I am just not ready for that yet. Thankfully, Xander notices my discomfort and doesn’t seem like he was going to push me to share my troubles. When we reached the venue of the event, that’s when I realized that it was actually a charity event for kids in hospitals. Don’t get me wrong. I like the idea of charit
The School's Cool Girl Chapter 47 The Woman was Too Stunned To Speak
The hospital is no longer a gloomy piece of... depressing atmosphere. Instead, the hallway has now become a fashion runway. Most of the kids are willing to partake in the event, while others, who are more on the shy and timid side, just prefer to watch. I taught the kids how to walk and pose. Xander helped me a little, because let’s face it, between him and I, I am the better model. I think that he helped out most with the sound and the red carpet in the hallway, along with the stage lighting. The nurses help out by helping the kids change into some clothes. I am quite surprised to see that we have enough clothes for most of the kids here. I guess my mom has a lot more children’s clothing with her than I thought. “Look alive, everyone!!” I cheer for the children while they are continuing to walk along the red carpet. “You all look like you’re all sick! What’s with the faces and bandages!?” Xander nudges my ribs after my last comment. “We’re in the hospital! Naturally, they are s

My first instinct is to run away with Xander. My second instinct is to run towards Vanessa and tackle her. That girl deserves whatever body pain I am planning on inflicting on her. I guess it was not enough for her to ruin me. Now, she wants to drag Xander along too. She obviously needed some much needed drama to put her on the spot again. To what extent is she willing to ruin people’s lives just so she can stay in the spotlight? I have never been so angry at anyone before, but I will deal with my emotions later. My priority right now is Xander. Looking at Xander, I was surprised to see him standing so calmly in front of me. Well, he wasn’t entirely calm. He was shaking, but it wasn’t from fear or anxiety. He looks like he is about to burst out laughing. What is he so excited about? “Xander?” I grab his hand. “Xander, come on. Let’s get you out of here. I will call my dad to pick us up.” Xander’s gaze softens when he turns to me. “Thanks, Hailey.” He kisses my forehead, which
The School's Cool Girl Chapter 82 Unwanted Paparazzi
The big day has arrived, and even though I have complete faith in my mother's design abilities, I can not help but feel nervous. I have seen the design before, but when I look in the mirror, I cannot help but admire the dress. It’s a light lavender dress with a sweetheart neckline and a thin laced strap to keep it in place—my mom knows I was never gifted in the frontal area. The skirt is a flare shape, with the hemline ending perfectly a few centimeters from the floor. Most of the beadwork is at the neckline and waist since the material used for the skirt is chromatic. It shines perfectly on its own. My mother didn’t want me to look too mature so my hair is left in a side loose braid. “Perfect!” My mother enters the dressing room just as I finish clasping dangling earrings in my ears. I shy away from the mirror at how my mother is continuously gushing at me and my outfit. “Darling, you look wonderful! Of course, I expect no less from my daughter, who carries my perfect genes!” “N
The School's Cool Girl Chapter 81 Laying it Out
Preparation for the dance has been going smoothly. Our efforts have come to fruition when everything is finally coming together. I hate every second of the work, but getting to see the final outcome feels somehow rewarding. Speaking of which, while we were still preparing the venue, the others figured out that Xander and I were already dating. I’m pretty sure that was the case when we told them, because their reaction was a robotic surprise, like they hadn’t tried practicing it. “Wow. We totally had no idea.” “Really? We hadn’t noticed.” “Congratulations!” Only Leo had a really genuine reaction from the group, even lightly clapping his hands in celebration. This world needs a lot more Leo—so pure and innocent. The rest of us can just die (I'm kidding!). “See? I told you they’d know.” Xander crosses his arms and pointedly looks toward Sandy. “I bet you already have proofs and created a group chat where only you, Sheen, and Leo are in it to show the photos.” Leo and Sheen exch
The School's Cool Girl Chapter 80 Just A Normal Lunch
Taking a photoshoot with The Pandorgriffs always feels like bliss for me, despite the number of times that we’ve done this before. It seems that I will always be their fan, no matter what. Actually, that’s not the only thing that makes me excited to work with them. It’s also the fact that I get to work with Xander too. It’s only been a day since we started dating, but it seems like I can’t help but feel light and happy whenever we see each other. He keeps meeting my gaze during our turn and giving me secret grins and a wink. If Xander could be an animal, he would definitely be a fox. Sandy, the ever so reigning queen of gossip, managed to catch that Xander and I have been looking at each other all throughout work. This hellhound of a girl literally has been giving us both a look of suspicion and, I swear, I think her nostrils are flaring like she caught the scent of a hot topic. Xander and I haven’t told the others about our relationship yet. We’re not trying to hide it from them
The School's Cool Girl Chapter 79 Is it Hot?
As the school’s cool girl, I have numerous people confessing to me on a daily basis, but having someone that I know confess to me, especially one that I like, is just embarrassing—in a good way. You’d thought that I would jump in glee and throw sparkles and rainbows at everyone’s face out of joy, but nope. Before I could even give my answer, Leo and the others came back. The next day, I was so tired. I could not even sleep just thinking about it. We’re supposed to head to the mall today to buy the materials needed to make the design. Of course, Xander is going to be there. Unexpectedly, I arrived at the meeting place earlier than planned. I’ve got nothing better to do because if I continue to stay at home, I might just keep staring at my reflection and recalling the confession. It was a confession, right? I mean, I am almost certain that it was. Before we parted ways, Xander assured me that he doesn’t need an answer right away and is willing to wait. Actually, I really wanted t
The School's Cool Girl Chapter 78 Loveless
I rarely get into serious situations that I give a damn about. Right now, I badly wish that I was in one of those situations so I could just laugh and ignore it. I guess I have not gotten my luck as Hailey May Collins working yet because the situation in question involves Xander and the others. “You guys are going to disband?” My tongue felt heavy when I said it. I knew what I heard, but I still could not believe it. “Can you tell me why?” “It’s not exactly a secret, but I assure you that it was a mutual agreement on everyone’s part.” Xander looks uncomfortable, making me wish that I hadn’t asked the question in the first place. “I’m sorry. You don’t have to answer my question if you are feeling uncomfortable.” I hastily added and avoided his gaze. As much as I am dying to know their reasons, I should still respect their privacy. Xander’s chortle comes as a surprise to me. I stare at him, wondering what it is that he finds so amusing. Currently, I feel a little conflicted about
The School's Cool Girl Chapter 77 Mulling Over
The very next day, I was humming as I headed to the student council room after taking my special exams—I’m not going to talk about how well or poorly I did. It doesn’t matter. I feel like I have accumulated enough points to graduate anyway.I met Sandy at the door, and I gave her the brightest mischievous grin that I could muster. Sandy just smiled at me in return before heading inside the council room. I still have the blackmail photo of her and Sheen on their secret date that I am dying to show her. Because my exams are finally out of the way, I have no choice but to participate in my student council duties. I don’t mind doing it these days, and my old self would laugh at me if I admitted it out loud, but hey, I am here to have fun with Sandy. It’s payback for all the teasing that she put me through. “Hey, Sandy.” I smile, heading over to her and plastering on a smile. Sandy gives me a perplexed look. She’s probably wondering why I wasn’t hostile with her today. “Good day to you,
The School's Cool Girl Chapter 76 Blackmail Photos
“Do you think that they are on a secret date?” “I—” “I think so too. It’s very suspicious.” “Hailey—” “Do you want to secretly take photos of them for future blackmail purposes? I know I would.” I cheerfully as I continue to snap pictures of Sheen and Sandy buying tickets for a random romance movie. “You’re already taking photos of them. What’s even the point of you asking me about it?” I can feel Xander’s tiredness as a sigh escapes him. I believe that his exhaustion comes from him constantly trying to tell me against stalking them, but all his words simply go from one ear to the other. “Let’s go!” I drag him along after the couple finished buying tickets. “Where to?” “To buy some tickets. We’re watching the movie.” “Why?” “...That’s because the movie looks interesting.” Xander gives me a long stare. “You’re still going to spy on them in the cinema, are you?” “...No…?” The words left my lips in a drag, making it sound suspicious. “I mean, I am really interested in watchin
The School's Cool Girl Chapter 75 Taco Place
I wasn’t aware that my mother called Xander and promised to sponsor our attire for the dance. Knowing how I would have reacted, I guess I can understand why my mother kept it a secret in the first place. Still, it would have been better if she had at least given me a hint. Xander and I are sitting not too far from each other. None of us are even speaking. I am sitting casually and bouncing my legs nervously while thinking of ways to strike up a conversation. From how Xander is busy scrolling through his phone, I don’t even know if he would like to talk to me. It’s always been difficult to read Xander’s mood, so I decided to risk it and converse with him. “The weather is nice.” I start. “It’s raining heavily outside, Hailey.” He responded without looking up from his phone. Well, so much for an icebreaker. I should try another approach. “I didn’t know that you were coming.” “I thought your mother told you that I would be coming for the fitting.” This time, Xander did look up. I c
