Never Fall (COMPLETED)

Chapter 1

Chapter 1

My heels clicked against the empty hall way floor. I pulled down on my shorts. My hair bounced against my shoulders with every stride I took.

I was late to class. I cared but at the same time I didn't. I didn't feel like going to physics anyway. They can manage without me for a change.

"Roxie!!" A deep baritone voice yelled.

I turned to see Mr. Cooper, my AP Government teacher.

"Shouldn't you be in class?" He narrowed his eyes at me.

"I'm actually supposed to be in the library. I have a few things to drop off." I tugged my bag over my shoulder.

"Well get to where you need to be." He went back to his class.

I spun around and strutted my way to the library. I actually had the 3 books I checked out for class to return.

I'm a fast reader. I flew through most of my reading list already.

I'm not your average popular. I'm the girl that gets good grades. Barely misses class and rarely gets in trouble.

How I'm popular you ask? Well it's a pretty stupid reason. I don't have many friends.

Well it's because I've shut down every guy that's asked me on a date. They were either to cocky, I didn't like them, they had to much confidence or I knew they just wanted a fuck.

I'm a tough girl to get to fall in love. So if you want me to love you, you have to try harder than you think.

I'm not going to go into detail about why I'm a hard lover. That's for another time.

"Hey Roxie." Mrs. Palm, the school librarian smiled at me.

"Hello mrs. Palm." I fished in my bag for the books.

"Finished already." She laughed as I sat the books on the counter.

"Yeah I'm done. Do you have Romeo and Juliet? I need it for my drama class." I smiled.

"I believe." She typed in the title on her computer. "Yes I do. It's in the back." She looked at me.

"Thanks." I turned slightly before she stopped me.

"I'll have my nephew get it. He has to spend the day with me anyway. Zane!!" She yelled into the library.

"Shhh!" I put my finger to my lips and giggled.

"Oh hush up." She laughed. "Zane!!" She yelled again.

"What?!" He rounded the corner.

"Go in the back and get this young lady Romeo and Juliet." She batted her eyelashes.

He scoffed before walking off.

"Don't mind him. He's just grumpy because he has to spend the day with his aunt." She shook her head.

"Does he go to this school?" I leaned on the counter.

"He will if he gets kicked out his other school. He's been cutting up lately." She rolled his eyes.

"I think he just misses his aunt so much." I smiled.

"Because she's so awesome." Mrs. Palm flipped her blonde hair over her shoulder.

Mrs. Palm was actually awesome. Well to me she is, she lets me chill in here whenever. People thinks she's a mean witch, with a capital b, but she's as cool as a cucumber unless you're on her bad said. Like most people are in this school because they forget to return library books. That just puts more stress on her.
