The Not So New Guy

Prologue

7 years ago

Me, Ashton and a group of our friends sat in a circle in the treehouse with a bottle in the middle. Ashton spun bottle spun and a boy yelled "Ashton and Sadie!" as it landed on me.  Ashton had been my best friend for the past 7 years ever since we met in kindergarten. I got up walking towards him. The kiss was short and I could feel my cheeks burning red after as I went and sat back down. That was my first kiss.

1 year later

Ever since that kiss, I had grown a massive crush on Ashton.  Unfortunately so did all the other girls did too. I am known as the rich ugly nerd at my primary school. I  always left out and bullied, by everyone except Ashton. Ashton has always stuck up for me and hung out with me until this year. This is our last year of primary school, grade 6 and Ashton has become friends with the popular kids and will rarely hang out with me leaving me completely alone .I am unlike everyone else in my grade, excited to go to high school. I had managed to get into Parkwood academy, a esteemed private school for the smartest and hard working students in the country. The best part of it was that it was a boarding school, meaning that I could leave this horrible town that had bullied me my whole life.

    

Finally our last day of primary school finishes as my grade stands on the oval, tears rolling down their cheeks. I cry happy tears at the thought of finally leaving. I dare to make my way over to Ashton, surrounded by the popular kids as they hug and say goodbye. I walk over pulling him into a hug before being shoved away. I stare into his cold brown eyes as he looks at me with disgust before saying "Ewww don't touch me nerd"" I look at him in shock, quickly my tears of joy turn to sadness,  I quickly run from the crowd, off of the oval out of the school gates as the bell chimes one last time.
