Chapter 1

~Melissa's POV~

I was drooling again wasn't I. It had become a habit, as I would wait for her to come into class. And there she was. Gianna Miller. Only the cutest girl ever. I had never really spoken to her, but at least she knew I existed, I think. She wore a white sweater and pink skirt, and I envied her skinniness. She was perfect.

"Mel?"  I was snapped back to reality as my best friend, Gwen, waved her hand in front of my face. I sighed, knowing I zoned out.

"Hm? Sorry what?" I felt bad, once I saw the way her face changed from happy to disappointed, I didn't listen to her story at all. Caroline, Gwen's really short blonde friend, snorted behind me. "C'mon Gwen, we all know she was drooling over miss prissy pants over there." I glared, god she could be a dick.

Gwen, who was beside me, sighed. "Leave her alone, Caroline, but seriously Mel, did you hear anything?" I bit my lip and shook my head. She groaned and explained something about the anime she was watching. When she wasn't looking, I pulled Caroline over to me and whispered in her ear "It's not like you don't drool over Gwen so shut the hell up" she blushed at this and I pushed her away.

I found myself staring at Gianna again until I heard Gwen. "Mel....you do know she's coming over here...." I turned my head in a panic, a blush flushing over my face. Gwen bit her lip and pointed to Gianna, who was headed our way. Once she was here, she nodded a quick hello to Caroline, but just snarled at Gwen, who wasn't so popular. Then she turned to me, my face bright red. "Oh hey, Melissa. I had a question. Why were you staring at me?" She leaned her arms on my desk and stared at me and I heard a "Busted"  From Caroline. I wanted to die.

"O-oh, well I-I just thought y-you l-looked really nice t-today and-" I stopped when I realized the entire class was looking at us now and laughing behind their hands. I looked at Gwen, looking for help. She looked up. "S-sorry Gianna for the confusion. Mel just-" she was cut off by Gianna's laughter. When she was done she spoke. "Whatever, I don't need your input, let's go girls. See ya around Caroline." And with that she left. I felt tears stinging my eyes. I just made a fool of myself.

Gwen, who knew me the best, saw the embarrassment in my eyes and quickly calmed me down. "Hey hey it's okay you don't have to get upset. Gianna is just a stupid bitch okay? Don't worry about her. " she spoke in a soft tone, and ended with a smile. I groaned when the bell rang, signaling class was starting. This day was starting terrible.

--------------
After a couple of classes, it was time for lunch, and the time couldn't go any slower. I walked with Gwen and we sat down at our usual table. Everyone was already there. The raven haired Rachel was laughing her ass off with Brixton and Maya, the three of them crammed next to Caroline, who was talking to a curly-hair brunette, Betsy, who sat across from her. Gwen sat down next to Betsy and began picking at her max and cheese. She hated that food.

I sat next to her of course. I at one point had to slide down so Gwen's friend Josh could whisper something to her. I hadn't paid much attention to it, until I looked over and she was flustered, her face bright red. She shooed Josh away, a smirk on his face. I looked at her. "You okay?"

"Y-yeah I'm fine."

I shrugged and tugged at my beanie, when I felt Josh's presence back, sitting next to me. Gwen shot him a quick wide eyed glare. Josh rolled his eyes and said quietly so no one but me could hear. "Juuusstttt so you know, Gianna got a boyfriend." I instantly felt sick. But then I realized how much of a gossip boy Josh was, but I still questioned it.

"Who is it?"

"Noah Prince."

I scowled. He was such a hottie. I couldn't compete.

"Thanks Josh, I'll figure something out."

I hinted I wanted him gone, and so he left. I sighed and turned my head. Looking over at Gwen. She was showing Betsy one of her doodles of her favorite anime character. I think his name was on the lines of Arkin, or Armen?? I didn't remember. She had her hair down in curls and was wearing blue sweater and black shorts. It was actually kinda cute. That got me thinking. It was stupid. It was ridiculous. But it might work.
