Grace's POV
I woke up to the sound of my alarm. Ugh... I hate school, and mornings. Who doesn't?! I looked over at my clock. It was 5:30 a.m and the first day of school. Yay. (Note the sarcasm) I finally forced myself up. To make my morning a little better, I put my iPhone on shuffle. Codec by Zedd came on first. I went to my bathroom to take a shower. I washed my hair with coconut scented shampoo and afterwards, I applied some matching conditioner. I washed my body with a fresh Ocean Breeze scented body wash.
When I was done, I picked out my outfit. I got out my new light gray crop top with the saying Can you not? On the front. I took out my black high waisted shorts and put them on. Then I went to my closet and grabbed my gray Vans.
When I finished getting dressed I went back to my bathroom. My brunette hair was still soaking wet from my shower, so I decided to blow dry it straight. After that I applied some light makeup. (Mascara, eyeliner, blush and Chapstick.) I went downstairs to the kitchen to get a breakfast bar and some coffee. (I wasn't hungry.) I quickly ran back upstairs to brush my teeth. I went into my room to grab my phone. I unplugged it from it's charger. Canyons by Avicii was playing. I ran back downstairs, grabbed my hot pink Jansport backpack, and my car keys. I drove off to my living hell.

When I arrived to my school, I quickly made my way to my locker. Maybe my bullies have matured over the summer and realized that they are really mean.
"Welcome back to school, Ugly!" I turned around and saw that Dylan, one of my bullies, was the person who yelled that. Everyone heard, and everyone laughed. I felt my cheeks get hot. Maybe not... I put my stuff in my locker and power walked to my first period, making sure that I kept my head low. I found my class and ran inside. Oof! I accidentally bumped into someone walking into the classroom. Way to go Grace.
"Sorry!" The person apologized.
"No! It's my fault." I respond. I look up and see a tall guy with brown hair styled perfectly. And his eyes! They were a warm brown that could melt your heart. He notices me staring and chuckles. I blush like crazy! His smile is so perfect that I feel my legs go a little weak. He clears his throat.
"So is this Mr.Riley's class?" He asks in his deep, sexy voice.
"Uhh.. Yeeah." Why are you such an idiot, Grace?! He smiles and keeps walking inside the class. I shortly keep moving afterwards. He sits in the middle of the class. I go to they way back of the room where it will be harder to pick on me. I sit down and then bend over to get my notebook from my backpack. When I come back up, I see the same boy sitting next to me.
"Aren't you going to sit with you're friends?" He asks me.
I sigh. "I would," "If I had any." I say the last part quietly. I look away. He doesn't respond. I assume that he left because who would want to sit with a loser like me? Then, I feel a cold hand on top of mine. I look over and see him still there.
"Well, I'm new here and you seem nice, so I'll be you're friend." He smiles. I smile back.
"So what's your name?" He asks taking his hand off of mine.
"Grace. What's your's?"
"I'm Mason, nice to meet you Gracie!" he smiles his charming smile. All I can do is giggle and blush.

I later found out that we had all our classes together. We spent the whole day talking. I got picked on here and there, and Mason would always defend me. We walk into last period and sit next to each other. I am doing my work when I can't figure out a question. I start to hum because music helps me concentrate somehow. It's basically my escape from life. We are sitting in the back so no one can hear me. I was in the middle of humming Pyramid by Two Door Cinema Club, when I felt like Mason was staring at me. I looked up at him. I stopped humming when I see him smiling at me. I start to blush. He chuckles a little, but what he does next surprises me.
