I went straight to the luxurious east wing, to my oversize locker, near a beautiful, SUPERexpensive chandelier, and started writing about everything that had just happened. . . .

Even though I was in a HUGE school filled with hundreds of students, I suddenly felt all alone!
I swallowed the large lump in my throat as my eyes filled with tears!
I NEVER thought I'd EVER miss my friends and my school, WCD, so much!
There was no doubt in my mind that Jannat and her BFF's were definitely the mean girls that the office secretary had warned me about.
And the less I had to do with them, the better.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

My first four classes seemed to drag on FOREVER!
It didn't help that Tiffany was whispering about me and shooting me dirty looks.
It was like she hated me worse than knockoff designer purses.
Finally it was lunchtime. I grabbed a steak burger with waffle fries for lunch and yummy frozen yogurt with fresh strawberries for dessert.
Most of the kids in the cafeteria were sitting with their friends.
But since I didn't have any, I found an empty table in the very back near the garbage cans so I wouldn't bother anyone.
Then the strangest thing happened!! . . .

A few guys walked up to my table and said, "I'm Siddharth. And this is Riyaz, Mohsin, and Dev," he said as they all took a seat.
"Hi, guys!" I smiled. "So, how did you know MY name?"
"EVERYONE knows your name!" Lee answered. "We've been hearing stuff about you for the past month! I guess you're famous at ISD!"
I took a bite of my hamburger and shrugged. "I almost hate to ask, but famous for WHAT?"

They looked at each other and then back at me. "Well, for your, um . . . reputation," Mohsin replied.
"That sounds more like INFAMOUS to me! If it's any of the rumors I heard this morning, NONE of them are true," I grumbled.
"THEY'RE NOT?!" the guys exclaimed, obviously disappointed.
"Actually, we were hoping they were," said Riyaz.
"Jannat is on a power trip, and she runs this school like a prison warden. But we've heard she's really intimidated by you. We should form an alliance!" Dev said.
"An alliance? What kind of alliance?" I asked.
"Well, if you can help us, maybe we can help you!" Mohsin answered.
"Help you with what?" I asked, a bit suspicious.
"We're members of the science club. But to keep our funding we have to maintain a membership of at least six students in addition to our four-member executive board. Since we have less than that, we'll be losing our funding on Monday and won't be a club anymore," Siddharth explained. "And now Jannat has convinced our student council president to replace us with her new selfie photography club. She said it would better serve the school since twelve people have already signed up."
"Well, have you ever tried a membership drive?" I asked.

"Yes, we had one in April. It was very successful and actually doubled our membership!" Riyaz said.
"That's great news! So how many members do you have NOW?" I asked.
"We went from TWO to FOUR members! But we still need six more. We put a sign-up sheet in the boys' locker room," Mohsin bragged. "Do you have any idea how many guys pass through there? Like, hundreds!"
"Come on! WHAT ABOUT GIRLS?!!" I shrieked. "No wonder no GIRLS signed up."
"I guess we messed up really bad. So will you help us?" Siddharth pleaded.
"PLEEEEEASE!!!" the four of them begged.
"I'm really sorry, guys! But I don't think there's really anything I can do. Have you thought about joining the selfie club? It might be fun." I shrugged.
"Well, why don't we consider taking more, um . . . DRASTIC measures?" Siddharth suggested.
"What do you mean by 'drastic'?" I asked.
The only DRASTIC measure I wanted to take was to stage an intervention for Jannat to cure her annoying SELFIE ADDICTION. . .
