                                      Sarah's POV

"Sarah! Get up! It's the first day of your new school!" My mom yelled shaking me.

"Ok! Ok! I'm up!" I say as my mom leaves my room.

Don't be worried Sarah, everything's gonna be ok. Even though you just moved here and you have no friends. Hopefully North Carolina will be better than New York!

I get up, my feet hit the cold wood floor, sending chills up my spine. I quickly pick out my outfit, a black crop top, a pair of acid washed shorts, my black high-top Vans and a white cardigan.

I hear the screeching of brakes pull up in front of my house, I kiss my mom goodbye, grab my backpack and head out the door towards the bus.

Once I get on the bus, I see that all of the seats are taken besides one in the back next to a fat sweaty guy. I sit next to the fat sweaty guy, I grab my iPhone out of my pocket and turn my playlist on shuffle. The bus haults to a stop, throwing me forward, making me fall off the seat.

Everyone started laughing at me. Great. Everyone gets off the bus, I'm last. I feel eyes burning through the back of my head as I walk passed people in the hall. I just keep walking straight without looking back until I reach my locker. I quickly grab my books and head to my first class and luckily, I'm the first person there so I chose a seat in the far back to where no one could see me.

*Class bell rings*

The classroom fills with voices of laughter and dirty talk about other people. Wow, so this is what middle school is like? Since the teacher isn't in here yet, I decide to check my Instagram. I scroll through endless selfies with caked up faces making them look like barbie dolls. Ew.

"Hey, I suggest you put your phone away before Mrs.Hags catches you!" a boy with wild baby blue eyes says while smiling at me.

"Her name is Mrs.Hags?!" I say laughing.

"No, we just call her that because she looks like an old hag! Her real name is Mrs.Harold", he says looking me in the eye.

"Oh, thanks for letting me know, because I literally would've called her Mrs.Hags!" I say laughing.

"Why haven't I seen you around before?" he asks.

"Oh, I'm new, this is my first day", I reply smiling revealing my neon rainbow braces.

"Oh! Well, I'm Hayes Grier, and you are...?"

"I'm Sarah", I reply shaking his hand.

"Since your new and all, do you wanna sit with my friends and I at lunch?" he asks, looking hopeful.

"Sure, why not!" I reply back. This is no time to be passing up possible friendships, especially with a cute guy!

*Skipping to after school, nothing happened at lunch, they just talked about her life and what New York is like*

I missed the bus, great, just what I needed.

"Hey!" A voice said, I turned around to see Hayes running, trying to catch up with me.

"Did you miss the bus?" He asked, out of breath.

"Yeah, I'm just gonna walk home though" I said looking at the ground.

"Well, how bout be walk together?" He asked smiling, making me blush.

"Yeah, that sounds good!" I said smiling.

"Great!" "So, why did you move to North Carolina?" Hayes asked.

"My mom got a promotion", I say lying. 

"Oh cool! What about your dad?" Hayes asked looking down at his phone.

"Dead", I said, lying again.     

*Flashback*

"Dad! No stop! What are you doing to mom?!" I screamed as I see my dad holding a knife to my moms neck.

"I'm doing what I should've done a looooong time ago!" He said, while my mom screamed, begging for her life.

"Dad! Stop! You don't have to do this!" I screamed, and started crying.

"She deserves to die! She cheated on me!" He screamed, this time moving the knife a little causing my mom to bleed.

I ran over into the kitchen, grabbing the phone and dialing 9-1-1.

"911, what's your emergency?" the dispatch asked.

"My dad is trying to kill my mom! He's drunk and holding a knife up to her neck! Please come quickly!" I scream, crying harder.

"The police will be here in 5 minutes! Stay on the phone with me ok?!"

"Ok, I hear the sirens!" I say.

The police break open the door screaming words I can't understand. My dad dropped the knife, putting his hands in the air as the police put handcuffs on him and take him into the car. That was the last day  saw my dad.

*End of flashback*

                                                   Hayes POV

I feel bad that Sarah's dad died. But she is so hot!

"Sorry 'bout that!" I say as we walk up a driveway. I assume that this is her house.

"Well, thanks for taking me home Hayes!" she said as she walked into her house.

I walk back to my house and walk through the door to see Nash and Skylnn staring at me.

"What?" I ask nervously.

"Hayes has a crush! Hayes has a crush!" Nash and Skylnn shout in sync.

"Were you guys spying on me through the window?!" I shout.

"Maybe..." Skylnn says smiling evilly.

(Oh I forgot to mention, Sarah and I live across from each other). "Wow guys! That's just weird!" I say running upstairs.

I just can't stop thinking about how freaking gorgeous Sarah is! Too bad I have a girlfriend...
