Maxine's POV
Hey. If you've just started reading you're probably wondering why I'm talking to you. Well let's start shall we?

We live in a pretty desolate place. Population estimated to be about 2 100 people, 110 animals(woods included) and 100 insects.  I'm not even joking. Our town is pretty small so it's not in any map atlases. We're pretty closed in here. Everyone knows everyone and there isn't  anything that everyone doesn't know. People say we need more excitement here but I like it. The peace is probably why so few tourist visit (and probably because they got lost along their travel route.) Our school is located,  like the rest of our small town,  in a woodsy area. During summer the indoor pools and lake are  at great temperatures night and day.  During winter it's so cold you get frostbite on your spinal cord. Oh, I almost forgot we're called Snow High because even in summer here and there you still see patches of snow on the school grounds. Why we came up with such a stupid name?  I'll never know.  I believe our founders were intoxicated when they picked the name.  Oh also, I'm Maxine Rose. An ordinary high school student. If you could call my life ordinary.  I was the Queen Bee of the school. A gorgeous,  or so I've been told,  year 11 student,  on the athletics team,  captain of the swim team and the pride and joy of the dance and drama club and the head of the student council.  Yep, ordinary day in my life.

Then it all changed.

It happened to, ironically, be a Monday. Which made my image of Monday's that much worse.  I was standing with my two best friends before they came walking down the hallway.

"Jason,  are you sure it's such a good idea to come marching down the hallway?  I mean there are school rules."
"Amber, since when have we ever really cared about the rules?"

There were at least,  I counted 29 of them.  Great...not only are they a big group they also happen to be the noisiest in the school at this hour of the morning.

"Jason I'd really appreciate it if you didn't talk to my sister that way. She might be a-"

"Rubi, it really doesn't matter to me how you want me to treat your sister. All I'm telling you to do is just walk. Is that so difficult? "

Not only is he a supposed dominant he also happens to be quite bossy and rude.

"Jason just calm down. Stop trying to act like the boss when we all know I'm in charge. "
The guy who spoke happened to come walking out from the back of the group.  He had blonde hair, green eyes and his clothes were of the dark variety.

Oh! He actually seems kinda cute. Not like Mister I'm In Charge.  Although seeing a someone like him associated with a jerk like that's kinda surprising.

"Well, Antonio , if you'd actually acted like you were in charge I wouldn't have to. Plus I don't know why we came to this posh school. Seeing all the rich bitches is enough to make me sick. "

Oh no he didn't!  I'm not just gonna stand here. As the student council president I must go over there and in for this freshman just how things work here!

I stepped out in front of the group,  they were just  about to walk past me and my friends , with my hands on my hips ready to approach the guy.

"Excuse me!  You can't just tromp down the hallway like you own it. There are rules and regulations to be followed and you happen to be disrupting the peace."

He looked down for the first time as if he hadn't noticed I'd been standing right in from of him.

My friend Beaulique stepped away from the lockers to stand next to me.

"Maxine!  Please, forgive her she's just trying to follow the rules."

He continued to look down at me and something finally sank in.

This guy is huge!  Maybe I should learn to pick my fights better. Let's see what he's going to do, Max. Stand your ground. Don't let him intimidate you.

He leaned down to my height to look into my eyes.  Me, personally, I think I have nice eyes. They were a hazelnutty sort of colour but some said that in certain lights they looked reddish.

Play it cool,  listen to what your mother told you... WAIT A SECOND,  screw what your mother told you that's the reason you're in trouble!

"You know, you're really short and the fact that you're actually attempting to - and failing- to intimidate me is annoying."

I heard a short gasp from where Beaulique was standing before the other guy came forward.  Antonio I believe his name was.

"Miss-"

Was what he said before getting down on he's knee to take my hand.

"Please,  accept my deepest apologies. Jason might be-is a total ass but he really is a great guy. And might I add that certain men are really into short girls. " He winked before getting up and turning to his group.

Beaulique stared at their backs as they walked and Farren came walking up next to her.

"Wow! Max! First day back at school in the second semester and the gorgeous new guys are already all over you.  Farren,  you agree?"

Farren just gave a small hum as she stared after them.  Curiosity in her eyes.  Farren was only curious when things were suspicious.  This new group might be worth more than just a glance early in the morning.

At least things didn't turn nasty. He was kinda scary but that Antonio guy was really nice. Maybe this semester will be different from...NO! Don't think about it just relax.

The bell rang just as me and my friends entered home room thinking all was okay until lunch time.

Until they weren't.

Mister Van der Herwe walked up to the front of the class as jolly as ever.

"Class,  before I welcome you back to the second semester in hell."

A few of the trouble guys at the back snickers at Mr Van der Herwe's dry humour.

"We have some new students in school and I expect you to make them all feel welcome. Miss Rose you need to keep them in line please and inform them of all the rules."

I nod my head already knowing all things expected of me.

"Please welcome our new students, girls and boys stay seated,  Rubi and Amber Pearl,  Antonio Quest and Jason and Jackson Light. "

Cute guy and jerk off entered the class along with three other people.

The day was going faster down hill than I anticipated...
