Okay so Im gonna explain myself, Im not gonna do it twice because thats taxing. My names Carmille Pierce. Unfortunately short in height(but not too short, mind you) Jet black hair and blue eyes. One thing that I hate about myself: Im a bundle of insecurities. I cant stare at pretty girls because it makes me wanna look at myself and curse mother nature for doing that to me, but at least I have normal features unlike some misfortunate people.

Im not really a social butterfly, well I hang out with the cool kids but thats just it. I was just a member. I wasn't someone who attracted attention and made people say "Thats a cool kid right there" or made them say "That girl's hot" or even "Her? She's awesome" All my friends get that, except me. I cracked jokes here and there but only to my friends. You see, in our school we go in groups. Very cliche, I know. So basically there were the "Long Live" , a group of girls, no they arent bitches. Quite the opposite of that really. The fact is that theyre really cool. The boys love to hang out with them because theyre fun and all. Theyre the most popular group in highschool. Then next to that is my group.

Its composed of me, Andromeda, Kathleen, Stacey, Patricia and our little boy, Edward. Edward's the oldest but we kinda look at him as our little brother, how ironic. The funny thing is that, we all wear glasses, but Kath, Andy(short for Andromeda), Stace and Pat wear contacts, except for me and Edward, his glasses makes him look cool. Mine just screams nerd. Andy was reffered as the leader to our group. Shes that girl that is liked by everyone and when I say everyone, I mean everyone. Kathleen is bubbly and the same time Bipolar. And I think how is that even possible? Stace loves life and is a positive lil lass. Patricia is the school DJ, music was like her twin, she spent most days with it, having a new track for us to hear twice a week. Edward is probably one of the top ten hottest guys in our school but he refuses to date girls. Why? we dont really know. He's just simply and I quote "Living a single life with pride and joy" Then theres me, plain, boring and simple me.

PRESENT TIME

"Carms, Carms!" Kath snaps her fingers im front of me and I snap out of my daydreaming and face her and she gives me a "Whats wrong" look. "Nothing" I say waving my hand dismissively. "Fine, Ill let this one go, but Carms, Eldrik's having his victory party this Saturday and I need a dress, we need to go shopping and by shopping I mean shop-till-we-drop and your coming with me, Oh! We can have a sleep over at your place and......." and she rambles on and I zone out. I loved Kath and all but i just wasnt feeling the week, five surprise quizes in a whole morning and tomorrow we're supposed to have this new student from California.

Like we had enough male population in school. Probably 80% of them are douchebags anyways, how was this one going to be any different? Besides Americans weren't my type . Okay I do not have a type, but a guy smoking and sporting a shaved head, thats just eeww. No offense to those who find that attractive tho. Kath continued and I only caught some important bullets which were:

•Shopping this Friday after school(God help me)

•Sleepover after all the shopping at my house(Why couldnt we have it at her place?)

•Im coming to Eldrik's party(This is going to be real awkward)

This was indeed going to be a long week. I sighed and when the bell rang I mentally thanked God and waved Kath goodbye as I gathered by books and sprinted down the hall to french.

School was over in a blur and before I know it Im walking towards my baby; a black Lambo which I have cherished ever since I turned sixteen. Since today was Friday I was happily going to treat myself with Starbucks. I arrived in only minutes and got out with my phone in my hand.

I sent a quick text to Kath saying I'll meet her at the mall in a few. I guess I didnt see where I was going because just as I was about to place my hand on he door, it yanked open and I fell hard on my butt.

I rubbed my head, about to tell off they're rudeness when a hand shot out to me, which I grudgingly accepted. "I am so sorry" a thick american accent said, as I dusted off my clothes. I rolled my eyes at the apology.

I looked up to see two amber eyes looking right back at me. "I really am sorry" he said- wait, its a he?? "I could buy you a drink if you want" he smiled apologetically. "Im fine" I assured him as I avoided eye contact with the stranger. "No really, I was so stupid not to see you" he convinced. "Your not gonna let this one go, are you?" I eyed him carefully.

"Nope" he replied with a cheeky grin and I shook my head. "Alright then, whats your price?" I asked as he held the door open for me. "Oh no price, I could buy everything available for a beautiful girl like you" he winked and I shook my head at his attempts to flirt.

"So whats your name?" he curiously asks as I take a sip of my order which he just payed for. "Why should I tell you?" I raise a brow at him and he only chuckles. "You could probably consider us as friends by now" he grins and I roll my eyes.

"Puh-lease, this is acquaintances, hanging out regularly is friends" I wave him off settling down my cup on the table. "Interesting" he says taking a sip from his own drink. I raise a brow. "What?"

He sets his drink down. "You see, with most girls, We'd probably be exchanging digits by now, but with you-" he lets out a chuckle "I still dont even know your name" he explains with a glint of amusement in his eyes. "Well thats where your wrong" I say playing with cup in my hands. "Im not like most girls"
