Anna's P.O.V.

School. The one thing I dreaded. Going back to school was the most horrific time of the year. Especially this year.

My alarm clock buzzed at 6 am. I groggily opened my eyes and turned it off. Stretching my shoulders, I climbed out of bed.

I pulled myself over to my bathroom to take a shower. At this point of the morning, my eyelids were too heavy to even open fully. I stripped my clothing and jumped into icy cold water to try and wake up. I used my coconut scent shampoo and a tropical scented body wash. I inhaled deeply and it smelled really good. After about a good 15 minutes, I dried myself off, wrapped a towel around my body and trudged back into my room.

Hmm. What to wear? I tossed my whole closet upside down trying to find the perfect outfit. I ended up going with this gray skater dress with black hints I bought from Victoria's Secret Pink. I matched it with gold and white bracelets and a gold necklace all from Claire's.

For my makeup, I did something simple. I started off by applying my favorite bb cream and foundation. Then covered up my flaws with concealer. I quickly put some eyeshadow on, curled my lashes and put on mascara. I grabbed my backpack and headed downstairs to eat breakfast.

I checked my phone again. It was 7:15. I headed out the door to catch my bus.

"Have a nice day at school!" My mom cheerfully exclaimed.

"Yeah okay." I mumbled back. I was feeling anxious. Maybe it was because of the very first day of school. But I shouldn't be scared. I know many people at school and no matter how bratty I sound, I'm not a outcast. I fit in. It's not like I won't have any friends. I start thinking about Jace. I wonder if I'm nervous because I'll have to face Jace today.

-----

After a bunch of greetings from friends, I hastily pulled out my schedule when the first bell rang. Locker 154 it read. Looking around everywhere trying to find it, I finally saw it. I walked my way over there, anxious and excited to find out who my locker partners were. I stopped dead in my tracks when I saw who was there. Jace.

No this can't be happening. I want to ignore him. I don't want to be seeing his ignorant face every time I go to class. Not knowing what to do, I took a deep breath and walked to my locker. Whatever happens, I'm just going to ignore Jace.

I don't look at him at all. I just put in my combination and put my bag in. I organize all of my binders and supplies before heading to first period. Curious of what Jace is doing, I peek at him from the corner of my eye. He's talking to one of his friends. I think her name is Ari? I zone out of the conversation and focus on his facial expression. His face is filled with hurt and guilt and he looks uneasy. But it's not my problem. I suddenly felt like crying. Being used broke my heart too much. I grab my stuff and storm over to first period, praying that Jace won't be in my class. I plastered a fake smile on my mouth and walked in.

Jace's P.O.V.

First day of school. Great. I'm not looking forward to seeing Anna honestly. I feel terrible for what I did and all I'm going to feel is guilt even if I catch a glimpse of her.

I open up my new locker and start organizing. The locker on my right belongs to a girl whose name is Rebecca or something. She's one of those girls who likes to keep to herself. I've never talked to her or even seen her talk. I decide to ignore her and keep organizing.

I hear sounds coming from the left of me, so I turn around excited to see who my other locker partner is, since I won't be talking to the one on my right anytime soon. My chest drops when I see Anna. She's completely ignoring me, but I know she knows I'm here. I open my mouth to say something but my friend Ari comes rushing over to me.

Ari is one of my other best friends. She has these beaming brown eyes and medium length brown hair. She's crazy at times but very creative and fun to be around.

"Did you hear? There's a new girl!" Ari says excitedly. Honestly I'm really hurt by Anna and I'm also feeling really guilty so I'm not that interested.

"Mhm." I say back.

"Jace, she's right there!" Ari pointed to the direction the new girl is at.

I glance over and all of a sudden my whole attention is sucked in towards her. She has this soft, long brown hair along with hazel eyes. Her eyes have a twinkle in them. She has a very bright smile and is really pretty. No doubt. I can already tell she's going to be popular. People are surrounding her asking for her number and trying to talk to her. I turn around to attempt and talk at Anna, but she's not there. With a confused look on my face, I slam my locker and head to first period.

-----

Anna goes the whole day ignoring me. I kinda deserve it I guess. It's very frustrating though. What I want is right in front of me, but I can't seem to grasp it.

At lunch I finally get to introduce myself to the new girl.

I tap her shoulder and say," hi. I'm Jace Norman. I don't think we've met. What's your name?"

She immediately blushes. "Yah I know." She looks alarmed and embarrassed. " I don't want to seem like a stalker sorry. I know you from your tv show. My little sister watches it a lot."

"Oh. " I smile. Nice to know she knows who I am.

"My names Zari. I'm new here as you can tell."

"Well, Zari. We should hang out some time. You seem really cool."

"Yah sure!" She blurted out without control. "Sorry, I meant sure." She looks embarrassed.

"Yah, I'll talk to you soon?"

"Wait Jace. Do you have a girlfriend? I don't really want to interfere with anything especially since it'll be all over social media." Zari carefully asked.

I thought about this for a moment. Maybe it's time to move on. " no." I replied with an uneasy smile. "I'll see you soon!" And I walked away confused at my own thoughts.

A/N: I felt like this update was a lot longer than all my other ones! Haha. So this is kinda a filler chapter, nothing exciting really. I just wanted to introduce the new characters. There'll be more drama in the next update, I promise!

Guys. Since school is actually starting, I'm going to be really busy and won't be able to update as frequently as I am now. :( but every time I reach my update goal, I'll update. But I'm setting the update goal a little higher now since I'll be more busier, but the faster I reach it, the faster the updates!

UPDATE GOAL:

For the next update...
