'BANG!' My head snapped up. "Miss Fonder, sleeping in class again?" I am in Maths C, on a Friday, half asleep with my teacher glaring down at me.

"What's happening?" I ask. Mr Benham just glared and turned away. I take the chance to give him the middle finger salute.

"Jamie, you're gonna get your ass suspended!" my best friend shout-whispers. He has a severe case of Nerd syndrome. His name is Elliot Barns. We met while I was caught copying his Math test. We have completely different personalities but I couldn't help but befriend him with his gorgeous looks, lopsided grin and massive but adorable glasses.

"Sorry, couldn't resist." I smiled innocently. His reply was a sarcastic snort.

"You need to stop doing that!" Elliot exclaimed as we walked out the door. I merely looked at him.

I flipped my light brown hair so it sat the way I liked it, comfortably over my shoulder. "Come on!" I complained, "I was up all night." I winced. Why did I say that? My mind flicked through possible excuses.

"Oh no, what did you do?" he looked at me anxiously.

Oh God. "Um, my parents were arguing again and they were yelling all night." I lied.

Elliot chuckled, "Nice one, look at your hand." He nodded his head towards my hands.

When I lie, I pick at my fingernails and Elliot picked up on it ages ago. I looked at the ground, "Fine, I went to a party at Highlands."

Elliot stared at me with wide eyes, "JAMIE!" His sandy blond hair went everywhere as he shook his head. "I told you! You can't go there!" he exclaimed. Keeping my head down, I began, "I..."

A voice cut me off, "Hey Elliot." I slowly raised my head to find Lacey Chariot.

Lacey is the school 'Miss Popular". Her parents are actors, George and Samantha Chariot. This meant that her family are billionaires. Somehow, she had a massive crush on Elliot. Her explanation a couple of weeks ago was, "The glasses are adorable and you're hot as."

Don't get me wrong, Elliot is really good looking with his sandy blond hair and bright blue eyes but really? Lacey and Elliot aren't alike except for the fact that their parents are both rich.

Elliot blushed, "Hi Lacey." Like every other guy, Elliot has a secret crush on Lacey. I coughed, covering a laugh. Lacey shot a killer glare at me then turned back to Elliot, playing with her long pitch black hair.

"Do you want to out for lunch tomorrow?" I had to hold in a laugh because I knew the answer. He looked at me helplessly. "S-Sorry Lacey," he stuttered, "I am going to lunch with Jamie, maybe another time?"

I couldn't take it anymore, I loved the look on her face; absolute rejection. I hate her so much. I laughed out loud. She shot her 'I'm a damsel in distress' look at Elliot that won over most guys and Elliot was about to give in but I pulled him away. I practically dragged a guilty looking Elliot past Lacey, towards the doors. I smiled the most innocent smile I could find and turned around so Lacey could see it perfectly, she threw back the middle finger and sashayed away.

As I turned away, I laughed. I push open the doors to get a rush of cold air blow against me. We walked to our sitting spot. We found a massive weeping willow in Grade 9 and have been sitting there ever since. I sat him down and he just stared at me.

"Are you going to tell me about the party?" he asked, still recovering from the Lacey encounter.

"Ok then, Mum," I mocked him. I started with me getting drunk and making out with this dude in my grade. I told him I couldn't remember who it was. The photos of us kissing were on Facebook but his face was turned away from the camera.

He stayed silent until I said, "I kind of woke up next to a dude half naked." He blanched. His eyes were almost as wide as his glasses. "Whoa, nothing happened, right? Did you see who it was?" I shrugged, acting a lot calmer than I felt.

"I don't remember and I didn't get a good look at him, I just freaked and ran out of the room." I said grimly.
