Chapter 1

*** My name is Elliot ***

   My name is Elliot Rose Ramble.

   I just moved from California.

   And I'm about to make history.

   I started to comb through my scattered brown hair when my mom came into my room.

   "Don't worry, it's just like home. Just like home." She assured. Just like home. Yeah, okay.

   "Okay mom, thanks." I smiled through the mirror.

   "I'm leaving. Bye!" She and my dad called as they left for work.

   5:47 a.m.

   I've been up since 5. I was going to go with my hair pink to school, to stand out.

   6:13 a.m.

   Mom had told me to eat breakfast, but I really wasn't that hungry. I had lunch period 4 anyways. It didn't really matter.

   6:17 a.m.

   Mom always said it was a small school. I guess I was gonna put that to the test.

   6:35 a.m.

   The bus was supposed to already have me on it. Instead, I was waiting outside, in my cute little outfit, waiting for the bus.

   That's when a girl about my age walked down to the bus stop. She had straight, blond hair pulled back in a braid. She looked over at me, still on my new porch.

   She smiled and waved, then kept on walking.

   6:42 a.m

   I can hear the buses engine coming closer, so I quickly got up off the steps and begin to walk down one house. I kept my backpack hanging over one shoulder, and my phone in my hand.

   There was a group of about 3 or 4 people already waiting there. They all quieted their chatter and watched me walk down. I smiled and put my hand up to say hello.

   "Hey! Did you swallow a pig or something?" One kid shouted. What kind of insult was that?

   "Shut, up!" One girl moaned and looked at him.

   "Sorry Mom." The kid sarcastically replied back.

   The girl gave him a glare as I approached the group. I saw the blond girl who was a whole lot smaller then me.

   "Well im Ellie." I said through our silence.

   "I'm Marie!" The girl who told the guy to shut up exclaimed.

   "I'm Katy." The blonde girl said.

   "Miles." One of the boys who hadn't talked, raised his hand to say hey.

   "And this...is Jackson." Marie rolled her eyes and nodded her head towards the annoying guy. He flashed me a wink and a smile.

   "How did you know I was new?" I wondered aloud.

   Miles made this look as if he wanted to die.

   "Well I'm very involved in-" Marie stated explaining.

   "BUS!" Jackson yelled, as the bus came screeching to a stop.

   "I'll tell you tomorrow I guess." Marie laughed, practically skipping on the bus.

   "Okay, sounds cool." I lied. This was the first lie, and it was about to change my life.

   "You can sit with me, hottie." Jackson said, walking on the bus. I shot him a glare, and sat in an empty two-seated.
