Calum's first day at this damn school sucked so much. No-one - or almost - noticed him. He kind of didn't like it. See, Calum had always been popular back in New York and used to have everyone's attentionss teachers', girls' and even some boys' attention.

Zoe's hair was up in a ponytail, she finally made an effort for once and all her features were showing; she was very, very pretty, but still, she was creepy.

Once they both arrived the school's area, Zoe
