"Are you listening to me Erin, or are you swooning over Ytzack?" Georgie's voice says from behind me and I can just imagine the smirk planted on her face.
"No, I'm listening" I say, not really paying attention and staring at the beautiful guy. His long brown curly hair, his chocolate brown eyes, the way a single dimple shows when he smiles. He's Perfect.
"No, you're staring at Ytzack" She laughs. "Go talk to him"
"I can't, I'm too shy" I say
"Yes you can, just start with your name and see how things go from there" She smiles warmly and I take a deep breath, wipe my sweaty palms on my jumper and walk over to the angelic boy.
"Hi, I'm Erin" I introduce myself
"Hi Erin, I'm Ytzack" He introduces himself. His voice is like music to my ears, it's literally perfect.
"Nice to meet you, Ytzack" I smile politely. God I really hope I said his name right.
"Nice to meet you too, Erin" He smiles brightly. This guy, I swear to god is the definition of perfection, an actual angel.
"So how come I haven't seen you around before?" He asks, curiosity on his face.
"I'm new here" I reply, looking around "I got here in July"
"Cool" He smiles. Such a cute smile.
"Yeah" I smile back. We go silent for a bit until my friend Jenna comes walking over to me to say hi.
"Oh hey, Jenna" I greet her with a smile
"Hey Erin, can I talk to you for a second please? Its kinda urgent" She whispers, glancing between Ytzack and I.
"Um, Sure" I reply and I walk around the corner with her.
"So, what's up?" I ask
"Sianne and Tamara have it in for you" She states nervously, biting her nails.
"Seriously!?" I exclaim "Why!?"
"I don't know Erin, but whatever you do, don't go to school on friday if you want to be safe" She explains "I'm concerned about you and I really don't want you getting hurt"
"Alright, okay, I'm not going to school" I say, but I know that I can't skip school otherwise I'll get into trouble. I'll have to pretend to be ill or something to get out of it....
***********
I log on to facebook that night and see that I had a friend request from Ytzack which kind of surprises me because I'm usually the one sending friend requests. I click on the name and send him a messageMe: Hello
Ytzack : Hi
Me: How are you?
Ytzack : Good, you?
Me : I'm good too thanks
Ytzack : What you up to?
Me : Nothing really, you?
Ytzack : Just chilling
Me : Cool
And then I log out of facebook.

"HAPPY BIRTHDAY RILEY!!" Laura shouts from behind us and I fall off the bench, not from Laura's shouting but from Tamara pushing me off.
"What did you do that for you bitch!?" I squeal.
"You know, snitching like a little whiny baby" She sneers and I feel another smack around the head from Tamara.
