Chapter 1

LISETTE'S POV

        I look in the mirror and take in my appearance one last time before I leave. Brown wavy hair. Soft brown eyes. Long lashes. Pale skin. Nothing special about me that'll make me stand out in a crowd. If you saw me walking around the streets, I'd look just like any other 17 year old girl.

"Lizz it's time to go, it's your first day at your new school" my dad screamed from downstairs.

My dad and I moved to London after my mom walked out on us. They went through a really long divorce and after it was over he packed up all our stuff and decided we should move to London. No questions asked. Throughout the whole mom situation, I didn't really have anyone there but my dad. We are now closer than ever.

"I'll be down in a second" I said while grabbing my bag and heading out my room.

Walking into the kitchen I see my dad sipping his coffee while reading the morning paper.

"Good morning princess. You ready for today?" he asked.

"Nope not even a little" I replied.

"Oh come on it's not going to be that bad"

"Dad it's the middle of senior year, everyone already has friends since like freshman year. They won't like me. I'm going to be that socially awkward girl that sits by herself in the corner of the lunch room doomed to be forever alone."

"Non sense, they'll love you. You'll see" he said in his failed attempt to cheer me up. "Oh my gosh look at the time we have to get you to school. Let me drive you"

"No its fine I want to get used to the streets of London. Bye dad see you later" I said walking out the back door.

As I walked down the streets I saw a small coffee shop. Checking the time on my phone i saw that I had a few minutes to spare so I walk in to get an iced coffee. It's going to be a long day might as well have something to give me a bit of energy.

As I go in I see that the place is kind of empty. I order my iced coffee and wait for about five minutes before it's done. Walking back out I realize that I have no idea where my school is. Damn it I should've asked my dad before I left. I walk back inside the coffee shop and see an old lady sitting in the corner.

"Excuse me, do you know where North London High School is?" I ask while walking up to her.

"Why yes I do. Actually my granddaughter goes there. She's such a wonderful girl. Really smart too. She's in 12th grade I believe. I'm so proud of her. She's also a model." the old lady spent about 10 minutes talking about her granddaughter while I just stood there listening. I didn't really want to be rude and interrupt her, but the clock was ticking and i had to find a way to get to school.

"She sounds lovely ma'am but can you give me directions to get there please?" I ask giving her a kind smile.

"Oh yes of course. It's not that far from here actually." and she goes on giving me directions.

"Thank you" I say one last time and walked out ready to start walking to my new school.

I followed the kind old lady's instructions but as I continued to walk I noticed that the school wasn't as close as I thought it was. I was walking for what felt like an eternity and as I checked the time I realized I had to walk faster if I wanted to get to school with time to go and retrieve my schedule from the principal's office.

I turn a corner and see an alleyway that appears to lead where I needed to go. I decided it was best for me to walk down that way so that I could save myself some time. That's when I heard a thump behind a huge trash bin down the alley. I keep on walking thinking it must be a stray cat or a rat or something. Then I notice as I get closer there are two figures standing there. One of them pounding his fists in the others face.

Any normal person would've turned back around, forgot what they saw, and walk away to continue their daily lives. I, on the other hand, am a really curious person. My nosiness got the best of me so I walked up a bit closer and hid behind another big trash can to get a better glimpse as to what was going on. I saw that one of them was continuously punching the other in the face not giving the other guy a chance to defend himself.

"So do you got the money?" said the one who was punching the other guy.

"No I'll have it tomorrow I swear" the other figure replied.

"Well that's too bad" he punched him again "You see we had a deal." Another punch. "And the deal was for today". The first one who spoke hit him one last time and the guy landed on the ground with a 'thump'. I gasped and jumped back.

This was such a bad idea. I need to get out of here I thought as I quietly tried to tiptoe away from the crime scene I had just witnessed.

I didn't get too far when I heard a voice behind me say "You know you should really mind your own business babe". I cringed realizing it was the voice of the guy who had just knocked out the other person.
