(Ebony's POV)

Rocky Mt. High was known for its diversity. It would be my fourth year attending Rocky High. We have more cliques then any other school could ever have. From the Jocks and Cheerleaders to the Yoga Squad, band and yet I didn't fit into any.

I'm walking down a hallway during lunch and I see a group of friends on the side laughing at a joke they might have just told. A couple right in front of me holding hands and talking, probably about something exciting their going to do tonight.

"Ebony." I turned to see who was calling me.

It was Tay. Taylor Rodriguez. We've known each other since we were crawling around in our diapers. She's the only friend I can actually trust and feel comfortable around. She's like my sister. A sister from another Mr.

"Hey Tay. Whats up?" I asked glad to see her.

"Ey girl, since it's Friday we should hang tonight." She said.

"And do what?" Trying to walk and talk in a busy crowded hall without losing Tay was quite hard. She was shorter then most girls but certainly not the smallest. Tay called herself Tiny Chica; She actually embraced the name. She even has her own customized book bag that said Tiny Chica on it in bold silver font. Tay never really cared what other people said about her. I envy her for that. I always cared what people said about me, and I hate it.

"I don't know. Go to the mall or go see a movie. Stuff normal teens do on a Friday night." I stopped and looked at her.

"So you're saying that im not normal?" I crossed my arms.

"Your just-" she trailed off.

"Just what huh?" I looked at her with a serious look on my face as she stared back smiling. I smaked my binder at her. I knew what she was going to say.

"A loner." She said as she laughed even harder, so I start walking away.

Still looking at her as I walk I say, "Sure Tay I'll go somewhere with you. I'll prove to you I'm not a loner and that I can have fun." She laughs again as we turn a corner that leads into a more quieter hall.

"Yea ok. You don't even know what fun means." I ignored her.

"Where we going tonight?" I asked.

"Hmm?" she was thinking, which wasn't exactly a good thing. Most of her plans usually lead to trouble. And trouble usually lead to even bigger trouble.

"Don't think to hard, you'll pop a blood vessel." I laughed. This time she smaked her binder against my arm. That just made me laugh even more.

We turn another corner leading us into the main lobby. School tropies were in shiny casses lined on the sides of the lobby, which made the school look more successful then it actually was. The lobby is a little louder then the hall we were just in but not as crowded as the first.

"Hmm?" Tay said still thinking. I shook my head as we head towards the staircase. Out of no where a person bumps into me, knocking me, my binder and all my papers to the ground. I heard Tay gasp, and a couple of other students laughing.

Ugh. I'm so embarrassed. I feel my cheeks begin to burn up.

"I'm really, really sorry." said a deep voice. The guy leans down and helps me pick up my papers. I didn't dare to look at his face, I'm to embarrassed.

I grab the last sheet of paper and stand up, so does the guy. He hands me my other papers that he had in his hand, that's when I realized who he is.

He's the captain of the football team. This just makes the situation a hundred times worse.

"Here you go." he smiled. "I'm so sorry I knocked you over."

"No. Its okay." I say biting my lower lip, nervously. He's such a hottie. I don't even know his name. That just proves how social I am. How do I not know the football captain's name? Everybody knows his name.

"No, it's not okay." he shakes his head in dissaproval. "I'll make it up to you. I promise Ebony." Oh My Fudge Goggles! He knows my name. How? I don't remeber having classes with him.

"You don't have to."

"Actually." a smile creeps up his face. " I have a party tonight. You and Tay can come." he knows Tay's name? Of course he does, he just said it. Get yourself together Ebony.

"Umm." I say, just as Tay smacked my back. "Uh, Ugh." I coughed, trying to hide the fact that Tay's smack didn't hurt . It did though. Really fudging bad.

Taylor always had a heavy hand, ever since we were young. Every time she needed my attention or I did or said something wrong she would smack or poke me. She such an abuser, I even have proof that she abuses me.

"Sure Duke, we'll go to your party." Tay answers for me, even though my answer was the total opposite. "Even if I have to drag Ebony myself." she would.

Duke.

He looks like a Duke.

Duke is such a hot name.

Duke and Ebony. Ebony and Duke.

Whoa I'm getting way ahead of myself. I bet he already has a girlfriend. A hottie like him has to have a girlfriend, a hot one. Like a cheerleader.

"Okay cool." Duke says with his million dollar smile. "And Ebony, Your name is really pretty." Random much?

"Thanks." I say biting my lower lip as I smile. He said my name is pretty! Wait, does he tell every girl he knows that their name is pretty?

"Well see you later Ebony." Duke says.

"Yea see you later Duke." I smile.

He turns letting out a whiff of his cologne.

"Yea, see you later Duke." Tay says, but he was already down the hall.

She turns and looks at me. "He likes you." Tay says so matter of factly.

"No he doesn't." I blush. "He's just being nice."

"Yea ok." she rolls her eyes. "He was just checking you out for five minutes for no freaking reason."

"No he wasn't"

"Yes he was. His eyes were basically glued to your body and face." honestly a part of me hoped he like me, but the other part is saying he's a jock and jocks don't like girls like me, shy girls.

"What ever that's not true." I say, still blushing.

"Okay if you say so." she flips her hair to one side. "Girl. I'm hungry. Let's go get some Mcdonald." It's funny how she changed subject so quickly.
