Breakaway

Chapter One

Natalie's POV

It was the first day of school. Of course being the nerdy girl I am, I was there a half hour early. So, it was about 7:30.

I already had received my locker number and books. All I had to do was find my locker. "367, 368, 369, 370!"

I was about to open the locker before the jocks pulled me back into this circle, making me drop my books in the process.

They did the usual thing. Push me around, give me a couple bruises. See they were all playing this game. The first one to make me cry won $50. I don't know from who but who cared.

By now the crowd had gotten bigger everyone watching just to see if I'd cry. But no. I held it in.

I slowly got up and dusted myself off. I never talked though. I don't think anyone has ever heard me talk. It's not that I'm mute. It's just that I'd probably get pushed around for that too.

Everyone was watching me. I was in the centre of the circle. I hate this kind of attention. Without anyone noticing,
I gathered my English book since that was my first class and ran.

Thankfully no one followed me. I got into the class 5 minutes early. I choose the seat in the far back next to the window. All I did was watch a butterfly.

"Natalie Gold will be paired with James Richards!" Announced the English teacher. "That's the final group! Your assignment will be to right a short biography and hand it in on Monday of next week. You may begin!"

Way to ruin my day Ms.Stone. I never took my eyes off the butterfly though. It seemed like it was the only thing that made me happy. I was stuck with the captain of the jocks as my English partner!

I saw him get up and walk over to my desk. I kept look at the butterfly though.

"Listen, I can't believe I'm stuck with you of all people! So, you're just going to listen to me. We are going to start this project at your house and finish it at mine. All I need is your address and phone number so we can get this shit over with." James said to me.

I took out a piece of paper. I gave him my address and also wrote down that I didn't have a phone.

"Ok then nerd, see you tonight at 6!"

Wait did he just say tonight? At my house! Oh no.
