Monday mornings can be the worst, and I'm not just talking about how everyone is so sleep deprived and some are still hungover from the raging parties that happen every weekend.

Those are normal people's problems. Mine on the other hand are a whole lot worse, I always have to watch my back whenever Jeni isn't with me, I have to make sure Elena is nowhere in sight before I let my guard down enough to just do the simple task of getting books out of my locker. Now I also have to keep an eye out for Liam Castle.

My tormentor. I haven't seen him in four years but I'll figure out whom I will be looking for as soon as he calls me a Klutz and continues to do so all day.

I will let you know I have changed quite drastically since the last time Liam saw me. I was more or less on the chubby side, short about 5', I also had dreary dirty blonde hair that had no color or volume whatsoever, and I also had glasses, and braces.

Now I'm perfectly slim, Honey Blonde hair, I'm actually about still 5' (sadly I'm still a gnome.) I wear contacts now most of the time, and I am now braces free and have perfect pearly whites! Even though I look completely different people still know who I am and they won't let me forget it.

I don't know what Liam looks like, he'll probably be more or less drop dead gorgeous considering how good he looked for a fourteen year old at his father's wedding.

I'm drawn out of my little daze as soon as I feel a cold, sticky and liquid like substance run down my back, covering my hair.

All around me I can hear people laughing, shouting, making fun of me as I stand there shell shocked, mouth agape, hoping that a whole will appear and swallow me into the ground for all of eternity.

I hear Jeni frantically shouting at people to shut up, but it's no use they won't stop crowing and chirping about this.

As soon as Jeni reaches me, I melt into her side while staring around at everyone, training my eyes on the cold grey ones of Elena. Who was sneering right back at me with a slushie cup in her hand.

Jeni was just about to start chewing Elena's head off when out of the corner of my eye I see someone I hoped I wouldn't have to see all day.

Liam Castle, gorgeous as ever standing there with his arms crossed, showing off his bulging muscles, staring at me with a blank expression on his face.

I quickly break the eye contact I had with his beautiful forest green ones.

I turn away to collect my book bag, while Jeni stood protectively in front of me.

"Oh come on Jeni, why do you hang out with a loser like Haley here? She's nothing but a good for nothing loser."

I could practically feel everyone's on us, well more specifically me.

"She's not the loser here Elena, you are."

I smiled at what Jeni retaliated with. I finished packing my bag, closed my locker with a loud slam, turned around and grabbed Jeni getting ready to try and pull her through the massive peanut gallery that came to watch the cat fight.

"What's wrong Wailey Haley, do you have nothing to say today, or let me rephrase that, wail about?"

Everyone thought that was just pure gold, because everyone starting laughing their butts off, while I was trying to hold my tears at bay.

I pushed through the throng of people, but I still managed to stumble to the side from possibly hitting a wall. Or more like Liam Castle, who continued to watch me as I dragged Jeni away from the scene.

I could feel his penetrating gaze on my back until we rounded the corner and were out of sight from the rest of the school.

I dropped Jeni's hand while still continuing to walk away.

I could tell Jeni was following me at a slower pace.

"So I guess we'll be ditching the rest of the productive day, right?"
