Why me?

Chapter 01

Today's the day.

Im a bit happy to know the fact that half my past is officially gone. At least I can start a new life at Hayesville East high school. After my family moved from Chicago a couple years ago, my dad's been stressed out with work and his boss, he takes it out on me and my mom. Me being the only child is not the best thing as if right now.. Both my parents are yelling at each other constantly... Like sometimes, when my mom's not home, my dad would beat me up and find excuses to yell at me too... My mom is sick and tired of me 'cause she can't even put up with my dad's yelling and everything...

Anyways..

School starts at 8:30 now, which is in about 45 mins. I was told by the principal that I should be there 30 minutes earlier so I could get my locker and locker combo and schedule and stuff you know. Its mid October already and its my first day at Hayseville East...  As I get closer to the big doors of the school, my heart starts beating faster and faster. I take a deep breath and close my eyes. I reach forward and grab the handles of the door.

This is it.

I open up the doors and walk inside into a hallway full of many people. It was amazing. I saw all the social groups  everywhere: jocks throwing around footballs, basketball players with their jerseys on, the popular group that ANYONE can spot and/or identify, the nerds, and the others who just don't CARE about this what so ever.

I walk straight to the main office to get my stuff. I looked at the paper I was holding and read "locker #14. Combo:22-31-12". Great. Just my luck to have hard numbers to remember now dammit.

I was going to my locker to put all my books inside. Once I get there i open up my locker and dump my stuff in there. My phone fell to the floor ugh. As I reached down, I felt a presence behind me.. I stood back up and turn around to see a boy with brown hair and hazel eyes. Looks about 6'1 and looks pretty tone too. I opened my mouth to speak to him.
"Can I help you?"
"Hi! My name is Logan. Nice to meet you" he smiles and sticks out his hand. I gladly shake it and smile back.
"Cara."
"Well Cara, I noticed that I've never seen you around school before, are you perhaps, a new student?"
"Yea actually today's my first day here.." I don't exactly know what else to say..
"Well I can show you around if you'd like! Let me see your schedule."
I hand him the folded paper and put my hands in my pocket and start rocking back and forth. Uhh.. Kind of a habit.. He looks through my classes and tells me that we have periods 1-4 together. THANK GOD. Jesus, I don't know what I'd do without this guy telling me where my classes are.
"Hey what's your locker number?"Logan continues.
"14." I respond.
"Sweet. My lockers two down, 16. The locker in between you and me, is my best bud Kyle. You'll see him soon." He rambles.
Damn, this guys so energetic in the morning wow. Im surprised, HOW CAN SOMEONE BE THIS AWAKE ON A MORNING. What even. Just as I was about to reply to Logan, this guy, about the height of Logan, is running towards us at full speed yelling and shouting Logan's name.
"LOGAN."
As he comes closer, I start getting a better look at him. He's got dark brown hair that looks almost black, has earrings, and is wearing khaki colored jeans with a maroon t-shirt. 
"KYLE!"

Whoa...
