Chapter 1

            My eyes slowly opened as the light poured into my room. I groaned and closed my eyes again until my iHome played the song on my iPod. "I'm up. I'm up," I muttered, half asleep. I hit the snooze button and sat up. My cat, Snowball, looked up at me with wide green eyes. I scratched her head and got out of bed. I walked into the bathroom and sighed. My hair was a mess as usual. I quickly flat ironed my hair and changed into my school uniform. I got out my eyeliner and mascara. I put on the aqua blue eyeliner then put on my mascara. After I brushed my teeth, I walked out of my dorm room. Almost everyone in the hall ignored me, talking to their own friends. I ignored them and put my ear buds in, hoping no one will bother me. I walked to my locker as the bell rang. I quickly grabbed my books and went to class.

            I finally made it to class with my iPod on, still in my pocket. I walked to the back of the class and sat down in the chair. I turned my iPod down and got out my books. I opened my notebook and began to write. I barely payed attention to the teacher, only to get called on.
            "Drew, name seven countries in Europe."
            "Greece, Iceland, Italy, Ireland, Malta, and Norway."
            "The capitols?"
            "Athens, Reykjavik, Rome, Dublin, Valletta, and Oslo."
            "Very good," the teacher said then went back to teaching. I rolled my eyes a little and went back to listening to my iPod.

            The bell finally rang for lunch and I was the last one to leave the classroom. I turned my iPod up as I walked and ignored everyone. In the hallway, I could hear everyone from the cafeteria talking through my ear buds. I sighed and walked in. I quickly got my lunch and sat down at my table. There were only four people I would really talk to; Neko, Evangelign, Trevor, and Brandon. Eleon and Alana would sometimes talk to me though, and they sat at the same table as me. Neko was the first to arrive to the table after me. "Hey Drew," she smiled. I waved and began to eat my sandwich. She sighed and Trevor sat down across from me. "Hi!!!!" He yelled. I glared at him. "Shut up."
             "You're not the boss."
             "Coming from the guy who's weaker than me."
             "Don't rub it in!" I rolled my eyes at him and watched as everyone slowly arrived to the table. "You guys hear about the new guy?" That caught my attention.
             "What new guy?" I asked.
             "He's SUPER cute! He's in your next few classes, Drew." I nearly choked on my soda.
             "WHAT?!?!" I screamed. They all stared at me, surprised.
             "No need to yell." Brandon said. I rolled my eyes and threw my trash away. The bell rang and I groaned. I began to walk to science class.


               I walked into class and saw that my seat was taken by a guy with black hair and dark blue eyes. I groaned quietly and walked up to him. "I think you're in the wrong seat." He looked up at me and for some reason, I blushed. He grinned at my light pink face.
               "Sorry."
               "I-it's fine..." He got up and moved to the desk next to mine. I stared at him, surprised. He smiled. "Yes?"
                "You're going to sit next to me?"
                "Why not?"
                "She's a freak!" Someone from across the room yelled. I glared at who the voice came from, shuting the person up. "She doesn't seem that bad." The boy said. I continued to stare at him until the teacher walked in. I hesitated for a second before sitting next to him. I wasn't listening to the teacher, of course, instead I kept glancing at the boy. 'He must be the new kid Neko was talking about...' I thought, turning my iPod up.
