Alana POV

Ugh. Another day at Johnson Prep School. I hate everyone at that school. Except my best friends, of course. My best friends names are Nia, Gianna, and Alyia. We've been together since the beginning of the school year, and we get through everything together. Without them, I would have dropped out of this small disgusting school a long time ago. I have brown curly hair, light brown skin, and soft brown eyes to match. I'm about 5'5 and I can't wait to graduate this year. Anyways, I walk into the school on a Friday morning. Finally. This week has been dragging on. I get greeted by my two friends, Nia and Gianna.
"Hey Alana. What's going on with you? You seem tired." Nia states.
"Of course I'm tired. It's 7 in the morning." I dab back at her.
Gianna laughs. When is she not laughing?
Nia rolls her eyes at me. Me and Nia fight all the time because we are both so stubborn. But it's all in good fun, we never take it too seriously. I sign as I slouch in my seat in homeroom. Then Alyia comes in, finally. She's always late. So this is my group. Alyia is fiesty, kinda like me. We all get along pretty well. Gianna is like the mediator of the group, we never really fight with her. We all get settled in, and then the bell rings.

   Me and Nia are next to each other walking down the hall while Gianna and Alyia are behind us. As I'm walking to History, I see someone. Someone familiar. Then i remember. That's Jon Higgerman. The school douche. The school player. No one seems to like him that much, especially my friends. My friends always say how much they hate him, but I have to pretend with them and agree. But in reality, he intrigued me. I look up from my feet and see Jon staring right at me. He does a douchey smile and goes into his next class. Huh. That was weird. I felt...butterflies. And for the wrong person. And my friends hate him! Ugh whatever. I just need to get through this school day. Alyia comes up to me and says,
"Are you coming to the party at Gianna's house tomorrow? Everyone's gonna be there. Nia, me, Gianna, and basically everyone at this school. You have to go."
I sigh and debate in my mind. I hate everyone in this school. Why hang out with them longer than I need to? But then i realize this is what school is all about. Partying and having fun. So i say,
"Count me in."
