PART ONE: Rosewood High: Plotting, Planning and Making Out

CHAPTER ONE: First Picked

Wednesday started like any other, I got up, went to school and as usual kept my mouth shut, made myself invisible and was ignored by everyone. I'm not the most popular person at school. A lot of people probably don't even know my name. My name is Jayleigh Whitmore, but my parents call me Jay. I'm an only child and I live in an old Queensland style house in the outer suburbs of Brisbane. I'm 15 years old and in grade eleven at Rosewood High School, my second last year of school. I'm considered a bit of a freak; I don't have an real friends, I eat my lunch alone and the only time anyone wants anything to do with me is when they want to copy my notes before an exam or need a straight 'A' partner for a chemistry assignment. I have never associated with boys. The only time I even had a proper conversation with a boy was in pre-school when Thomas Conner asked me to marry him. I said 'no', ran into the girls' toilets and didn't come until the teacher said she would ring my mother.

Now guys don't even look at me twice, it is say in book and movies that boys like girls with blue eyes and blonde hair but that is totally not true because that is exactly what I look like, I mean I'm not as pretty as the girls in the movies. I'm tall, have long legs, a decent size chest, blue eyes and blonde hair. But no guy will even talk to me. It is all about the way you act. I have never been a very outgoing so people never give me a chance. I'm fairly quiet and being an only child I don't mind being alone, in fact right at this very moment I'm sitting in what I like to call 'my corner' of the library studying like always. Mum drops me at school early because both mum and dad have to work, so every morning I come to the library and study or read to pass the time before home class starts.

I read the same page of my biology textbook for the fifth time and the library is starting to get loud and crowded. I check my watch '8.20AM' ten minutes till classes start. I pack up my stuff, put my book in my bag and make my way to my homeroom at the other end of the school. Although today is a Wednesday it is the last day of term one for the grade elevens. I'm not looking forward to home class today, at the end of term our student representatives pick teams to play knowledge games (our teacher is nuts). But of course when they are picking teams I never get picked it is just me and that guy who eats his own snot. Our student reps are the two most popular people in my grade Ellie Hart and her boyfriend the captain of the footy team, Chad Murphy. The reason I never get picked is because Ellie can't ever remember my name. Each time it is the same Ellie will look right at me as though about to speak and then shut her mouth and pick someone else. I doubt today will be any different.

I arrive at the classroom and put my bag in its usual spot when I turn around to find the one and only Ellie Hart sitting all by herself, she looks really upset. It is weird to see her by herself instead of surrounded by her 'gang'. Feeling a weird confidence within me I go and talk to her.

"Hi" oh my god I can't believe I'm talking to Ellie Hart, run away, run away! "Are you ok?"

"Yes" she snaps then looks up and her expression changes, she smiles, "I'm sorry, I thought you were someone else."

"I thought you might like to talk," talk, what am I thinking, she'll eat me alive. She hates me.

"I'm really sorry but ... god this is embarrassing...I don't even know your name" she say gentler then I expected.
