AN: Hi guys! This is my first story here on WattPad! I'm so excited! I figured I'd try it out and see how it goes! I welcome constructive criticism! If people like this chapter, I'll try and get a second part put up shortly. I look forward to hearing your comments and opinions! But for now, enjoy!

Humiliation. Fear. And Pain. That's what I was feeling as the ambulance rushes down the road towards the hospital.

He was getting what he deserves. And me? Well I was suffering because of him! I couldn't believe what he had done! I felt the tears rush down my cheeks as I cry in pain at the bump we hit in the road. I grab my aching head in anguish. This was not how my first week of junior year was supposed to go! I push my long, unruly blonde curls out of my face and try to wipe away the tears that have managed to trail down my face.

I was not supposed to feel the humiliation of awful rumors he spread or the constant torture. And I was most definitely not supposed to be feeling the pain of a concussion and the ache of a black eye! How did this all happen?! I'll tell you how!

4 hours ago. Monday, September...the first day of school
-------------------------------------
I couldn't believe it! Well actually, I couldn't believe HIM! How could he do this to me on the first day of school and how did he manage to get it around the school in 2 hours?! How dare him! I couldn't be more embarrassed in my whole entire life!

You may ask why I'm so embarrassed and shocked and its because of a certain brown haired man-child named Kaden. Kaden Hades. Hades pronounced as 'hāy-dz' , although the Hades (hāy-deez) would be more suiting as the guy is just evil...

You may say, "Persephone," (don't mention how cliche it is that I'm named Persephone and his last name is Hades. It's just an unfortunate coincidence), "what in tar-nation could a GUY do to you that was so bad that you were having a melt down?". Well for starters, Kaden Hades was not just some guy! He was a monster. And I don't mean a stereo typical bad boy with a leather jacket, a motorcycle, and a hot chick on his arm who rules the school and trips the nerd, then sets harmless marble pranks in her locker. Nah-ooooo! Of course he couldn't be that! He was really just, BAD. Besides the school pranks, he was notoriously known for doing time in jail for alcohol, drugs, and fights, although that's just the simple stuff! He's been accused of rape, alleged stabbing, as well as kidnapping, although no one's ever been able to hold a case against Mr. Clean-Slate, so that's the reason he's still here, in school, and not in jail.. where he belongs.

Now don't get me wrong. I don't think that really anyone should get to the point of being contained in a steel cell all alone. I believe everyone should be extended the grace of having a second chance and sometimes a third and fourth, but Kaden, he scares me...

But back to the issue at hand! Do you know what he did?! Of course you don't.. But you will! Out of all the pain and embarrassment I have suffered over the last two years of being in high school, this tops it all!

You see I had just gotten to school at 8:00am this morning...

*FLASHBACK*
"Hey Lauren!" I call as I smile and run through the front doors of Weston Heights Public High School to hug my slender, tall brunette best friend who had been away all summer. I set down my bag and embrace her excitedly. "Hey Seph!" She returns the embrace with an equally excited smile. "How was your vacation?!" I ask. My best friend, Lauren Stadler, had left me in the cool climate of North Carolina to get away to a warmer vacation on a beach in Florida with her parents and younger brother, Randy. She had only gotten back last night and this is the first day I had seen her since the last day of school. "It was amazing! The sunsets were absolutely gorgeous and I have a beautiful tan from the beach! Oh the beach! The beach was magnificent!" She raves, moving her hands as she talks.
