Jade's POV

"Jade, get up, it's your first day at school" I heard my mam saying. I groaned, and rolled over. Again, I thought. This was the seventh school I'd attended in my life; I'd left 2 primary schools because of bullying, and 3 secondary schools for the same reason. Why did they never like me? I wondered. I got bullied for being a geek sometimes, but it was mainly because they saw me as an easy target. I was always shy and well-behaved, but since that day two years ago I'd been so much worse. The schools I'd been to since then had been by far the worst. At Shaw's Road Comprehensive, the school I was at when it happened, I got beaten up and robbed three times, completely unprovoked. At Greystone High it wasn't so bad at first, but I got called names every time I walked down the corridor and the one time when the bullying actually got physical I almost ended up in hospital. My mam said I had to leave after that. My last school, Hilltop Academy, was by far the worst. Every girl in my year wanted to fight me for no reason, even the ones I made friends with turned on me without the slightest bit of warning. The boys would encourage them, and they'd arrange little groups to take turns beating me up every Friday afternoon. They did all this because that was the school where they found out, Not what happened to me, that was between me, my mam, the police and the worthless piece of scum who did it. They found out what I was, I don't know how, but one day it was normal and they were teasing me a bit but mainly ignoring me, and the next the entire school knew, and the violence started. I spent the five months it took for me to tell my mam what was going on covered in cuts and bruises. Just because I'm a lesbian.

Perrie's POV

I met Zayn on the corner of his road so we could go to school together. We hugged, then started talking about whatever came into our heads as we waited for the bus. I wasn't listening though, I was just staring at him. He really was beautiful. Why didn't I feel anything for him? Everyone at school thought we were dating, but the truth was we were only friends, and no matter how much I tried to convince myself otherwise that was all I wanted. But why? I didn't know. I snapped out of my thoughts and started talking to Zayn again. But he wasn't listening. Something was up with him lately, but I didn't know what.

Jade's POV

I felt just as nervous as I always did walking towards my new school for the first time. There were groups of kids scattered around everywhere, and I avoided eye contact with them all and wondered which ones would bully me. They probably will, I thought as I passed a group of girls who were gossiping. They might too, I thought as I saw a group of 5 boys who were admittedly extremely good looking, even though I'd never be interested in them for obvious reasons. I must have been staring a bit too much though, as the one with the curly hair smiled at me flirtatiously then looked me up and down, clearly focusing his eyes on my ass as I walked past. I shuddered; he was pretty good looking but I could never go out with a boy, let alone do anything with them. Plus something about his mischievous, childlike features made him seem like a bit of a player, which I couldn't stand in either sex. I looked back, and realised he was still staring, and had now been joined by one of his friends, a blonde boy with braces on his teeth. I sighed and thought maybe it was a bad idea to wear my skin tight black school trousers. I shook the thought off and carried on walking and deciding who my bullies would be.

DEFINITELY them, I thought as I saw three of the most beautiful girls I'd ever set my eyes on. They were stood on the old concrete steps that lead up to the school. I looked from one girl to the next, taking in all their perfect features. I looked at the curvy brunette first. Her hair was amazingly long and cascaded in big, loose curls over her shoulders and chest. She wore a short, skin tight black skirt, and the top three buttons of her blouse were undone, showing off a bit of cleavage. Her school blazer was also tight, and she was wearing black patent boots instead of the flats we were all supposed to wear. The second girl had a darker skin tone, and her hair was a dark curly afro with blonde ends. Her version of the school uniform consisted of a black skater skirt, white blouse, black Nike hightops blue denim jacket, black and white leopard print snapback and her school tie (which the other girl wasn't wearing even though we were all supposed to) was tied loosely around her neck with a huge knot. Both of them were wearing loads of make up. And the other girl... wow.

My heart actually skipped a beat as I saw the last girl. She had long, blonde wavy hair that was french braided across the top of her head then flowed lightly down her back. Her uniform was quite similar to the curly-haired girl, but she wore a pink flower headband instead of a snapback and black converse shoes instead of Nikes. I focused on her face and saw her two piercing blue eyes staring back at me. Crap, she noticed me looking! That's it, I was number one on her list of targets. I strangely didn't care though... this girl could be as rough with me as she wanted! Jade, WHY are you thinking like that? I asked myself. This girl is probably straight, and besides, even if they aren't bullies there's no way in hell that these three would ever be your friend. They look so cool, and youre nobody.

Which is precisely why I almost had a heart attack when I saw that the brunette girl was walking towards me with a smile on her face.
