Undercover

Chapter 1 - New beginnings

 I'm stood in the hallway of Murray valley High school with absolutely everyone's eyes on me, I can see their minds twisting and putting the pieces together. In any moment their going to figure it out and go crazy, I just knew it. I start to run, I don't know where exactly, but I knew that I needed to get out of here. They couldn't figure it out, it would ruin everything, I'd be back where I started.

Okay, let me start at the beginning. My names Ruby and I'm an undercover celebrity who is trying to live a normal life. Yep, turns out it's quite difficult. My real name is Monique Woods and I'm a three way threat, I sing, dance and act. I was so sick of everyone treating me like I'm the freaking queen, even my best friend was using me for my fame. That's when I came up with the idea of going undercover as 'Ruby', who is in fact just an average girl living her life at Murray Valley high school. You may think I'm crazy, thinking this could work, but what can I say? I'm big on believing. I changed my hair, name and am wearing contact lenses, which gave me the transformation I needed to not be recognized.

Anyway, I'm walking down the hallway to the principal's office and I start to question why I've done this, I see all different types of people, some were being pushed against the lockers and the others were the ones doing the pushing. I rushed to the principal's office to escape this madness, I walk in and close the door behind me. I discuss the boring things such as timetables and subjects I would be doing and then I was on my own.

Not going to lie, it took me a while to actually find my classroom, as soon as I entered everyone's head turns, I was used to this to feeling, but it had never felt like this before. I felt like I was being judged, in a bad way though...kinda like Miley Cyrus when she rubbed herself on Robin Thicke...yep that badly. I immediately worried about being recognized and then mobbed, but I pushed away the worry and moved on.

I took a seat next to a guy who was wearing black skinny jeans, and a white t-shirt with grey vans. I liked his taste, he looked good...He had the most amazing blue/green eyes, face and DAMN his t-shirt was kinda showing his abs. I noticed now that I was staring at him and that I should probably not do that, especially since he noticed.

"Hey, you okay?" he asked me, in a sassy, actually concerned tone.

"Yeah, I think so" damn I'd lost my game.

"Just checking, I'm guessing your new?"

"Yeah, how did you guess that?" I asked

"Well, you're still awkwardly sitting there, with nothing in front of you" well....he wasn't wrong.

"yeah, well...I'm kinda new at this whole high school thing" I say embarrassed

"Ahhh ok, so you were homeschooled?" he asked kinda cheekily

"Yep, all my life" I wasn't completely lying, I was technically homeschooled.

"Oh my glob...at least you didn't have to spend every day surrounded by people like this" he points to the other people in the room.

"Yeah...they don't look that bad though" everyone was on their phones or talking in small groups.

"You will learn how annoying they are, just don't get sucked in by the pressure...ive heard it really sucks"

"Thanks...I'll keep that mind" I say awkwardly, not knowing how to feel about that statement.

At that moment, the teacher started talking about algebra or some kind of math's, I'm surprisingly okay at math's, it's probably one of my best subjects...yep, I'm kinda a nerd. I finished my work sheets just as the bell rung, for what I believe signaled the next lesson.
