ZOE's POV
We walked into the canteen together, everybody was starring but to be honest I really did not care. I got my lunch which consisted of a burger and fries and sat at the only table which was some where in the middle of the canteen. After around ten minutes I felt the urge to smoke. I had been smoking since a young age, mainly because I didn't really have the great life. My parents were barely around and it was really hard living without the love and care of your parents and instead with a selfish nanny. I groaned and excused myself from the table and then I walked to the back of the school which was quite empty.

I sat on a white bench facing the empty ground of trees and pulled out a packet of cigarettes and my lighter out of my black leather book bag. I placed a cigarette between my lips and lit it. I inhaled deeply and puffed it out feeling relief curse through my brains then I held the cigarette in between my two fingers. I was addicted to smoking, terribly and I know it's wrong but I honestly can't stop.

Then I felt a tap on my shoulder causing me to turn around. There stood a really hot boy who seemed to be mixed blood. He had brownish, blackish hair, big dark eyes and he also had a nose piercing which I fancy a lot in boys.

"Uh , can you light this for me?" He asked, referring to a cigarette, in a hot, thick Australian accent. "Um sure." I said and lit his. He then sat next to me. He stared at me for a few seconds causing me to scrunch my eyebrows. "What..." I said puffing out the smoke.

He inhaled deeply and then puffed it out saying "Nothing, your new here, right?"

He chuckled lightly and I realized that he had dimples, shit! Dimples are one of the main things I like in boys. Damn it get your shit together.

I took another drag and then said "Yeah, I'm Zoe by the way."

"Nice name, I'm Ashton." I laughed at his attempt to flirt and decided to go along " Ashton..hm your name is not so bad either." I took one last long drag and threw the cig away. Smoking cigarettes is just pure bliss but weed is much, much better, you feel like you are in heaven and that all your unwanted worries and tensions have gone away.

"Ok, then tell me about yourself." He said smirking.

"What do want to know?" I reply feigning innocence, I like him, he reminds me of me...if that makes sense.

"Ok for starters what made you come to this school" He asked throwing his cigarette away.

Then I realized something, I totally ditched my friends, I mean it's the first time honestly that I made friends who are all really different in their own ways.
Lara, was really sweet, bubbly, and girly. Rhea was really kind, funny but can also be really shy. Sydney, was the loud, talkative, sarcastic one who was great at sports, and then there was me, Zoe, the apparent bad girl who cares about no one except the people she is close with, doesn't follow the rules and is an absolute bitch.

"Oh shit!, I just forgot that I gotta go back to the canteen, my friends might be waiting for me." I said in a rushed tone, feeling bad that I ditched them.

"Yea.. Do you mind if I tag along?" He asked putting his hand through his hair.

"No not at all," I said giving him a slight smile. I hope the girls don't mind.

Saying that we then went back to the canteen. Once we entered inside I saw four girls dressed in cute but a bit rather scampish for school outfits around our table. "Who are they." I asked Ashton.
