it's been two years since i've transferred to this stupid private school.
i'm walking down the hallway, my sweet black martins hitting the polished floor. my eyes are scanning the girls that are pinned against lockers, twirling their hair and giggling obnoxiously. their socks stop to their thighs as their skirts reveal their nasty panties.
i, bryn, am no different- i am forced to wear a short skirt but all i'm doing for the rest of the day is attempting to pull them down. we need a new principal, this one has been on the booze for months.
no one really knows me, but i know them.
my eyes stop at a certain boy who is the most well-known in this school, and that is-calum hood. of course i've had dreams about him, i mean, who wouldn't? he's got the thick black hair, blonde streaks filling the front of his messily perfect hair, when his eyes to nose crinkles up when he smiles widely. i also forgot to mention that he sings like an angel too. with the rest of his mates, in the all-boys glee club, they call themselves the 'warblers' (yes i stole that of the actual glee series). they are a group of the most attractive guys in the school, and if you can sing in this school, you'll ride your way up to the MIDDLE of the pyramid. if you could sing, dance and can play all sorts of sports you will be right at the tip-top of the pyramid. and there are people like me who like to sing alone and knows they can't make it to ANY of the glee clubs, cheerleading team or volleyball. i just sit in the corner really, i'm just the base of the pyramid, but the worst supporter.
he was with his girlfriend; sienna, whom is in the girls glee club and the head cheerleader, amazing right? top of the pyramid. she scares me. as a matter of fact she is looking me right in the eye.
"what the fuck is she looking at?" she looks me up and down while whispering to calum, i could read her lips.
calum looks back, giving me a soft sympathetic look then back at her girlfriend, "how beautiful you are" he smiles, giving her a peck on the cheek, making me cry madly and deeply inside.
but i've known from the start that i could never get a guy like calum.

"daniel!" i wave crazily in the grandstands in hopes that my best friend will see me, and he does.
"hello mom" daniel - or dan, takes a few steps before sitting beside me.
dan is probably the most normal kid in the school, or i guess- just like me, which makes him abnormal. yeah, scratch that, we're both the biggest dorks in the school. but we don't care because we have each other.
he was there when i first came to dalton, and guided me through everything.
we've been best friends for two years, and i must say he never betrayed me, he was the best(est?) best friend i have ever had.
and no, we have never fell in love, daniel likes boys, but he doesn't want to be labelled. society is literally making us dogs.
"ready for the big performance?" dan asks
"sure am."

take my hand
we'll make it out there!
oh, livin' on a prayer!
the Warblers ended their performance with a bow, the whole school screaming, girls fan-girling, me rolling my eyes. because they can get so, so, overrated!
"they're so overrated..." dan states, reading my MIND!
"when will they choose different songs? ugh"
everyone makes their way out of the basketball court, and back to the halls i am, looking for my locker.
182.
i put in the combinations and stuff some books into it, and grab the ones i needed, in this case-it was music. my favourite.
as i slam my locker shut, i look to the right to see a tall luke hemmings leaning against the locker next to mine. causing me to jump.
luke hemmings is one of calum's best mates, and he too-is a football player and a warbler. top of the pyramid. oh he gets girls too, lots and lots. i don't know how though, is it the big blonde quiffed-up do? is it the lip ring? do all girls at school like the 'bad boy' look? well one thing i'd like to know is if he's doing this because its him or if he wants the girls.
"hello" he smirked, looking down at my short-self
"um, hi" i say in confusion "what do you want?"
"he's not good for you!" what the fuck?
"excuse me?"
"calum." he raised his eyebrows
"what?!" i widen my eyes
"i see you looking at him in the hallway, all the time. like your in love with him or something"
"wow, okay, STALKER. i am not in love with him and you are NOT my father, and you DONT know me, and i DONT know you so kindly, fuck off before i slam your face into this locker!"
"feisty... and you must know me, luke hemmings, i'm a warbler and i'm in the varsity football team. and actually i do know you, bryn kolowski."
"ok, you may know my name but you don't know me well enough to judge my love life when all you do is hook up with different girls every day"
"i do not!" he yells, offended
i walk away from him, the rudeness is tiring, creepiness is scaring me. yet he still follows me.
"calum isn't good for you bryn! he's bad! and so will your life be after sienna knows about this!"
i stop walking, for a second to think about what he had said. "fuck you, you don't know me. i'm not in love and never will be."
