Evies P.O.V.
I look out of the passenger window and almost faint when I see millions of monkeys (better known as teenangers) running around everywhere. I pull at my sleeves, making sure the covered my wrists. I say good bye to my mum and get out of the car, making my way through the wild animals, narrowly missing a couple sucking each others faces off, making me vomit in my mouth a little. Can't people keep their tongues to themselves?
I find the office and greet the bored looking receptionist. "Hey! I'm Evie, I'm new." I say playing with my sleeves. "Welcome to eastford high. Heres your locker key and books. Enjoy your day." She droned, turning back to her computer.
I sigh and set out to find my locker in the busy halls.
A muscly looking boy strides towards me, knocking the new books out of my hands, pushing me up against the nearest locker. His hands find my waist and pushs hard, making me yelp because of the fresh cuts from this morning. Oh no, not again I think to myself. Back at my old school in Perth, I got bullied very bad. Mentally, sexually and physically.
Darling, he whispers, I'm going to make you mine. He slams me into the locker and walks away. People act as if nothing had happened. What is wrong with them? What bystanders! From my experience so far, I'm not going to have a good year. I sulk to myself, picking up my books and try to find my locker.

Lukes P.O.V.
I wonder if Evie has found her locker yet. I think back to my first day. I sigh as I grab my books for English and math. I look up, startled when I hear a girl say "oh hey Luke!" Oh my god its Evie! And her locker is right next to mine! Can this day get any better!? "h-hi" I stutter, she giggles. "What classes do you have now?" I ask, trying to regain my cool, leaning up against my locker. "English then math" she says, smiling, her smile is the best, so cute and happy. "ow sweet! Me to! I'm, do you wanna sit with me?" I blurt. "Sure! I'd love to!" She grins I blush and try to hide my face. What is wrong with you Luke!? "Let's go" I say as the bell starts ringing, signaling that its time for class.
I plop down in my seat and Evie does the same, the classroom buzzed as we waited for the teacher. Should i talk to her? What do i say? "Wanna play 20 questions?" Evie asks, turning to face me. "Sure! You can go first." I say, being a gentleman. "Urrrrm. Favorite color?" "Blue. What else" l laugh "what's yours?" "I like black or purple" she says, playing with her sleeve.
The school cool kids walk in, late as usual laughing at something and drawing a lot of attention to themselves. Jake, the leader winks at Evie which she returns with her middle finger and a filthy look (better known as a death stare). Have I missed something? Does Evie know Jake? A past ex maybe? I desided to ask her. "Do you know Jake? I question her leaning closer to her and whispering because old Mr Higgens started to lecture us on Romeo and Juliet.
"Urrr, there was an incident in the hall today. Its nothing." She replies quickly, in one breath. Then pointing to the front of the class, "shhh" she whispers, sending her cute smile my way.

Evies P.O.V.
Out of the corner of my eye, I notice Luke kept glancing at my sleeves like he could see right through them. does he know? Can he see them? Will he question me about it? If so, what will I say? Do I lie or do I tell him th- I get cut off by the bell, ringing through the classroom. "Let's go to lunch" Luke says grabbing my and and pulling my out of the hectic classroom.
Hey guys!" Ashton says jumping up from the table and pulling me into a bone crushing hug then pulling my out of Luke's grip and towards a couple of empty seats beside his chair. Luke sits to the right of me and Ashton to the left and Calum and Michael opposite us.
Calum was the first to speak. "So, Evie, are you liking your first day at eastford high?"
Yer, I'm really liking it here" I say, throwing as much as enthusiasm as I could into my reply.
Suddenly, silence filled the cafeteria. Three blonde girls strutted in, wearing six inch heels, mini skirts and low cut tops which their boobs basically fell out of. The plastics. I know that I'm quoting Mean Girls but it's so true.
At my old school, I was one of them. I used to strut around and pretend that I was perfect but I refused to hook up with anyone and everyone. Ever. Yes, those plastics at my old school had a burn book; and they were nasty. Hey, don't judge, I was trying to find myself.
I rolled my eyes, chuckled and looked down at my sleeves, completely ignoring them. All they wanted was attention, I should know. I looked up and saw all of the boys looking at me, their faces filled with shock and amusement.
"What?" I ask innocently ask. "You just laughed at them!" Ashton giggled. "Urrr, so? All they want is attention. I refuse to give them my precious time. Anyways, want to play 20 questions to get to know each other?" Four heads nodded together. "Okay, Ummm favorite colo-" I was cut off by someone clearing their throat.
"Um excuse me emo girl?" I turned around and was face to face with the leader of the plastics. "Yes, you. I know who you are Evie Maddon, marissa told me all about you."
"I've changed from who I was then. Marissa is nothing to me. We haven't spoken for a year. You don't know anything about me. So lets start this over I say, I'm Evie, I just moved here from Perth." "Ugh, I don't have time for this" she mutters,to herself, turning on her heels and stalking over to her friends.
"Wow. Luke, it's now free for all..."mMichael stated Luke's jaw hit the table. "NO WAY I called it first!" "Yer he did so he ge-" I cut Ashton off. "What are you boys talking about?" I chuckle, slightly confused. "Oh um nothing" Luke blushes. The bell rings throughout the cafeteria, signalling time for class.
