Xena Jane ↑
"Goodness me, look at that physique. The things I would do to be under that body, that boy is delicious"
"That's what perfection looks like. He's like Adonis himself, hmm"
This was norm at Winter Falls High school. Gossip and casual observations circling around Austin Miller was an everyday occurrence. The star quarterback himself was used to the constant spotlight and girls swooning in his present that it looked normal to him. He was used to girls fantasizing about him and boys hating him for the attention. However, the round shaped black haired teenage girl who was never noticed, was the only teenage girl at Winter Falls high school who never really cared about what Austin Miller does in his spare time, or how good he is in bed. Xena Jane has never been interested in high school clichés, she is that background character who looks forward to the end of the show so she could get up and go. And as she stood leaning against her locker with her Scooby door bag pack slung lazily on her shoulders, listening to high school gossip about 'Austin the great' she just simply rolled her eyes and pushed off her locker and started walking to her first period
Contrary to popular belief, popularity was never something she wished upon herself, in fact she hated the spotlight and was quite thanking her lucky stars that she never really got it. Popularity to her was just a way for teenage girls and boys to entertain their mundane lives, because they simply lacked the necessary knowledge to improve their presents and change their futures, thus seeking attention to close that gap. She took a sharp turn colliding with a mass of muscles that sent her staggering back and almost losing get balance and falling flat on the floor. She managed to steady herself though and look up at the built wall of muscles that stood towering over her, and came face to face with the school's dangerous boy Xavier Black
Now the background stories aligned with Xavier Black are those mothers tell their children in order to scare them. He was rumored to be an escaped prisoner who murdered little kids for fun, he not only murdered them, but brutally tortured them. This of course was the twisted version of his past, no one really knew his story nor wanted to get that close enough to find out. However, truth is Xavier Black is a notorious trouble maker who likes to cause heart attacks in his wake. Like last summer he spray painted the hallways with the words He lives to kill, along with a disturbing drawing of a man slicing his own throat with a knife. The walls were re painted of course and he was suspended for three weeks, but he therefore gained the name Black Slayer.
"Watch were your going twinkle toes" He grumbled shoulder bumping her and walking away. She watched him leave, the thoughts 'What a troubled boy' roaming her mind, cause that's what she saw, a troubled boy seeking professional help, cause no normal human being would act in a manner that he is. She continued walking to class once he disappeared from sight. She made it to physics just as the bell rung signaling first period of the day. She waved at Miss Potters who was situated at her desk reading yet another romance novel, its what she does on a daily basis. She took a sit at the back close to the window casting a great view of the forest. Not long after, a pile of students came in and took their assigned sits and the long lesson began. "Alright class, today is no different from last week or the week before that. We are continuing with synthetic cells of the human body which I want completed by next Friday. So do partner up and start doing something" students started getting up and rushing to their friends to partner up, and seeming as she was anti social and lived quite a lonely normal life not even nerds live these days. She simply took out her textbook and notebook, turned to page 365 and started working on her own
She wasn't bothered that no one knew her or even bothered to notice her. She simply did not care that she lacked friends and people to share life stories with, she wasn't at all bothered by the fact that she was the school's loner, in fact she quite enjoyed the quiet friendless life she lived. That's until recently
"Hey" a voice she knew all too well, because it was in most her classes, and a voice she was least expecting to be talking to her. She looked up from her notebook pushing her black waves from her face and staring at the slightly smiling face of non other than Austin Miller himself. "Uh, everyone has partnered up and seeing as we are the only one's left, I thought we'd be partners" He was scratching his golden brown messy head, messing it even more giving him the look of a boy who just woke up. His bright blue eyes was unmistakably looking at her as she blinked thinking she must have heard him wrong. "What?" she muttered stupidly staring at him in pure shock. Austin Miller has half the teenage populations attention, and considering his most trusted best friend was in the same vicinity, there was simply no way he was partner less. Unless this was a prank on the school's loner to see her reaction to being talked to by the school's golden boy. "I was wondering if you'd partner with me?" the way his voice sounded so smooth, one would swear he was genuinely without a partner. But seeing as this was not a regular occurrence, she simply laughed. "These like twenty girls in this class who would tear each other apart just to be in your presence, and your most trusted best friend sits just behind you. How is it that you are without a partner?"
He looked at her, then shifted his attention to the rest of the class seeing 40+ pair of eyes staring at them. He looked back at her and bucked out an awkward laugh. "I just thought it'd be nice to work with someone else for a change, unless you have a problem with that"
"Why would I? You're Austin Miller, star quarterback, golden boy of Winter Falls. I'm pretty sure I might get a penalty ticket for even remotely thinking of saying no" She only meant that as a sarcastic remark, but the changing demeanor in him proved that he took what she said to heart
"I'm not that special, I'm just like any regular student here"
"Sure whatever you say" she went back to scribbling notes on her notebook, not really caring if he sat down or walked away. Yet the strong scent of YDE Cologne pretty much told her he was still standing by her desk, still looking down at her. "So partners or not?"
She once again looked up at him, did a quick glance at the nosy students still staring at them, although half has lost interest and went back to doing what they were previously doing. In all her existence, Xena Jane thought she would leave Winter Falls without a single word uttered to any of these people, especially Austin Miller. But as she looked at his blue orbs peering at her, as if silently pleading her to not deny the request made by him. She couldn't help but take a second to admire this moment, cause in her mind this was a first and last moment she will have at having a decent conversation with a peer her age, let along Austin Miller
"Sure why not"

Aright I have to say, this took a lot of writing and erasing and writing and erasing that I was sure I was a lost cause.. But I hope my efforts at changing the story to your liking has succeeded. Cause I pretty much disliked the previous idea
So now I await your responds...do not be afraid I will not bite you if you don't vote, although I would appreciate it very much if you would
Thank you for reading
