Monday morning...I'm dreading it before its even begun. My friends all abandoned me on Saturday and Evan was no fun. He's refusing to talk to me and then when he has to be around me, he goes all moody. I don't get it.

I'm not feeling to great today either. Madison text me asking if I wanted to meet her and Liam and walk with them to school. I knew if I said no I'd be walking by myself and I'd probably make myself look like a bigger loser than I already am!

However, after they ditched us, I wanted to go to school by myself. They don't really want to be friends with me if they can't ever be bothered to actually hang around me or the rest of us.

"Aria...do you want a lift to school?" Mum asked, noticing my sad expression.
"Yes please, I don't want to see anyone." The biggest lump I've ever had appeared in my throat and I could feel my eyes brimming with tears. I tried my best to stop them though. Mum glanced at me with sympathy.

I told her what happened last night and she sat patiently listening to me drone on and cry. She never tried to lie to make me feel better, she just told me to walk in today with my head held high. If they are actually my friends they would explain themselves. If not, then I don't make a fool out of myself by being sad.

As I walked into my form room, all my friends raced towards me. This is what I wanted right? An explanation...everything was happening to fast and I felt trapped. I can't do this. I ran out and into the crisp April air, my new kind friends turned out just to be exactly like my old friends. Just my luck! I can't ever choose good enough friends...maybe because I'm not good enough.

"Hey Aria! Wait please..." It was Evan. I don't know why he's running after me. I didn't think he wanted anything to do with me anymore. We're the same speed though, so he easily caught up with me. He grabbed my arm and held on, I couldn't escape his grasp. He put an arm around me then tried to lead me back inside.

I was having none of it. "Stop! You've been ignoring me all weekend! ALL OF YOU! I thought you were supposed to be my best friends and you're supposed to be my boyfriend. But all you've done is made me feel like a worthless piece of shit!" Evan tilted his head so he was looking at the floor and dropped my arm.

"A, I'm so so sorry. We never meant that at all, I promise. I can't tell you why right now but I'm hoping you will like the outcome." He whispered. I pulled a face at him, rolled my eyes, then walked back inside. This day better end quick.

Mr Adams was already there and beckoned for us to take our seats. "Ok so we have two new students today. This is Kenna and Alfie, you two sit wherever you like." I looked over to check the new Me's out. I was the awkward student standing there a couple of months ago.

There was a spare seat next to me and one next to Eva. Kenna sat next to her and Alfie next to me. "Hi, I'm Alfie. As you probably know...and you are." I wasn't properly listening until I noticed him staring at me.
"Oh sorry, I'm Aria. Nice to meet you."

"I recognise you from somewhere...did you go to Westend High at any point?"
"Erm yes, I moved here around a couple of months ago." I say, not really recognising him.

He smiled at me and I smiled back. All of a sudden, I felt a hand on my face turning me round. Then Evan kissed me, quite passionately, this is like the thing with Josh all over again. We soon were dismissed for break, Kenna came and joined me. We've been talking all morning and have gotten fairly close. The others don't look too happy and neither did Evan. This could get interesting,

"Aria, you are such a bitch. There is no need to act like this! Little miss perfect."
I spun around to see...
