I ran a hand through my jet-black hair, mussing it up a little while converting it into my signature "I-don't-care-about-my-hair" look.

Secretly satisfied with they way my hair looked today, I slung my bag pack over my shoulder and headed out of the house.

It was a 15 min drive from my new home to Kingston High. I stepped out of the driver's seat of my dad's Toyota, my confidence level dropping with each step I took towards the entrance of Kingston High.

The entrance of Kingston High was swarming with students. I saw Volvos', BMWs' and all kinds of sports cars everywhere I turned, and suddenly Dad's Toyota looked really out of place in the parking lot.

The students were no better. Almost every girl at Kingston High were carrying Chanel clutches and wearing branded clothes and shoes and accessories. I looked down at my own brand-less ensemble and suddenly felt much less confident about my outfit.

Ugh, I groaned. This place was filled with rich-asses.

I took a deep breath. You can do it, Ally! I encouraged myself, or tried to do so anyway.

I made my way to the General Office. As I did so, almost every head turned in my direction(not the kind of attention I was looking for). I heard many whispers and felt stares boring into my back. I silently prayed that my feet would co-operate and make it's way safely to the office.

But as usual, my prayer never came true. Pressurized by the stares of almost the entire school population, my legs refused to co-operate with my body and I went sprawling into the floor. Oh, lucky you, tripping on your first day of school, a voice at the back of my head sniggered.

I cursed under my breath.

I felt the familiar rush of blood up to my cheeks and I was blushing furiously as I tried to regain my balance. I heard sniggers and even louder whispers this time.

"Ha! Did u see that? She can't even walk properly!"

I blushed even more furiously, hurt, humiliation and pain building up in me.

Just as I was about to get up on my own, I heard a rich, husky voice asking, "Are you okay?"

I reversed the Volvo-my 17th birthday present-into a parking lot and turned off the ignition. Keys in hand, I made my way to the entrance of the school.

I squinted my eyes. It looked like there was a serious commotion further up. Curiosity got the better of me and I jogged ahead, deciding to check out the commotion. As usual, people moved aside to let me pass but I took no notice of them, my eyes focused on the commotion instead.

A girl(was she the new girl everyone had been talking about?) was sprawled unflatteringly onto the floor.

"Are you okay?" I extended my hand towards new girl, ignoring the many pairs of eyes boring into me.

New girl stood up with my help and turned to face me, her cheeks turning the colour of a tomato, which I liked to believe was because of the sight of my face. I smirked at her.

Jesus, she was hot. Not really hot like Shannen, but more of a unique sort of beauty. Her honey-blond curls reached down to her waist and her skin-tight pants clung on to her thighs in all the perfect ways. Even her huge round eyes, which were strikingly blue, were beautiful.

"T-Thank you," she mumbled finally.

Awkward silence.

"Um, look, I gotta get going! So, yeah, bye...," she trailed off, breaking the awkward silence, her cheeks still the colour of an inferno.

"Be more careful, girlie," I teased. and if I previously thought that she could not blush any brighter, she somehow managed to do exactly that.

What on Earth was I even doing? I slapped myself mentally. I shouldn't even have been flirting with some girl I barely even knew. Shannen would have been green with jealousy..stupid Shannen.

Wait. Where was Shannen? By now I knew very well that around this time, she would be making her 'grand entrance' to school. I shook my head, disgusted with myself for even thinking about her. All that girl had ever cared about was her looks and popularity. I dismissed that thought with a shake of my head.

As if on cue, I spotted Shannen strutting over to the entrance of Kingston High, and all eyes were on her. She turned to look at me and gave me a smug smile. Bitch much? I felt like giving her a slap across her cheek. Clenching my hands in anger, I turned away, trying to control my temper.

By now, most of the crowd had dispersed except one or two who were still pointing and staring. I shot a death glare at a random girl who was still pointing at me, until she finally looked away, and I resumed my walk to the entrance of Kingston High.

Everything within the last 48 hours or so had gone impeccably wrong.

We had had to move out of our house so quickly, just when i had finally begun to settle in and started making some friends. Adding to that list, the kids here were impossibly rich, making me an immediate social outcast, due to the fact that I had practically all my clothes were brand-less. Also, I had to fall before I even reached the entrance of my new school, and when a kind soul had offered to help me, I completely lost my confidence in speaking.

Weird huh, how your life could turn around in 48 hours, the voice at the back of my head said sarcastically.

Images of the Kind Soul who had offered to help me previously came flashing back to me. Those warm, chocolatey brown eyes, and those muscled biceps...he probably had abs too, I sighed dreamily.

"Earth to Allison!" the history teacher exclaimed.

I jolted up from my daydream. The whole class was staring at me funny, including Kind Soul, who had an amused smirk on his face. It was almost as if he knew what I was thinking about.

"Sorry, Mrs Gregory," I muttered, blushing.

Ugh.

Second time I had embarrassed myself today. Way to go, Ally. I sighed involuntarily.

Before Mrs Gregory could go on about the importance of paying attention while she was teaching, the bell rang, signaling break time. Saved by the bell! I thought, relief sweeping over me. I stumbled my way out of the classroom, making my way over to the cafeteria.

Finally finding an empty table in the noisy and overly-crowded cafe, I placed my lunch tray down and prepared to sink my teeth into the juicy flesh of the apple.

However before I even had a chance to do so, I heard a voice say sweetly, "Um, excuse me? This is my seat."

I glanced up in surprise.
