CHAPTER 1\n\nTHE QUEENS  \n\"Don't tell me you want to make friends withthe Queens,\"said Jess.  \nShe grabbed a handful of crisps and shoved theminto her mouth.  \nMia shrugged.\"I'm just curious,\"she said.  \nShe wasn't just curious about the Queens.Shewas obsessed.There was Lauren,a tall girl withlong,blonde hair and a fake smile.There wasSavannah,who dyed her hair black and lookedlike she should be hanging around in a graveyardsomewhere.And there was Gabriella,who worea loose jumper.  \n\"You're wasting your time,\"said Jess  \nShe tipped her head back and poured the lastof the crisps into her mouth.Salty fragmentstumbled down onto herjumper.  \n\"They'll never talk to you,\"said Jess through amouthful of greasy crisps.  \nMia wondered why Jess was so certain.Maybe shewas just afraid of losing her as a friend.  \nWhen she'd joined the school two months ago,the seat next to Jess had been one of only fourfree ones.A broad grin had spread across her facewhen Mia had chosen it.  \nBut Jess didn't need to worry.Mia didn’t wantto join the Queens,she just wanted to talk tothem and get a closer look.She thought she'dseen something the day before.It was somethingimpossible.Something she couldn’t have seen.Yet she was sure of it.  \n\"You're talking about them like they're the schoolbullies,\"Mia said,sweeping her long red hair backbehind her ears.\"They don't seem so mean.\"  \n\"It's not that,\"said Jess.\"They just won't letanyone into their circle.And I've seen loads ofpeople try.\"  \nThe Queens were huddled together at the side ofthe Science block,talking quietly to each other.  \n“Come with me,”Mia said,beckoningJessforwards.\"It might be easier with two of us.\"  \n\"No way,\"said Jess,stepping back.“I sat nextto them on the Geography field trip and they  \nblanked me the whole time.I asked,like,a millionquestions but they said nothing at all.\"  \nOver by the Science block,Lauren was flickingher hair.Mia stared at her but she couldn't seeclearly enough.She needed to be nearer.  \n\"Maybe they're just shy,\"said Mia.\"I'm going togive them a try.\"  \n“OK,\"saidJess.\"But don't come back here whenyou crash and burn.I won't be here.”  \nMia strolled across the playground.Jess folded herarms and sulked but she stayed where she was.  \nMia thought it was like the Queens had an  \ninvisible shield around them.Even the year sevenkids,who usually bumped into everyone as theychased each other,steered clear.  \nThe Queens stopped talking and watched Mia asshe approached.  \n\"Hi,\"she said,staring at Lauren's hair.\"What areyou guys up to?”  \nLauren flashed her false smile.\"We were justhaving a conversation.”  \nSavannah scowled and put her hands on her hips.Gabriella looked down at the ground,adjustingthe left side of her sweater.","cbCaikD3tG2pIiIJ","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaikD3tG2pIiIJ","pdf",2094699,56,"English","# CHAPTER 1\n## THE QUEENS","[{\"question\":\"Who are Mia and
