Chapter 1

It was the beginning of senior year and I was not looking up to it. Sure I would be able to be out of this place in another 9-10 months, but that was so far away. On top of that, I would be stuck with my worst enemy for all those months. It's bad enough she already made things a living hell, since this was our last year she was sure to do something unforgivable. Still, I had some things to look forward to. There was prom, senior skip day, oh and of course graduation. Although, I wasn't looking too forward to prom, everyone was talking about it. Especially one of my best friends.

"Okay so, we need to go all the boutiques on our block. My mom wants to make our dresses but I don't think thats a good idea." Violet went on and on as we walked through the halls. I was in no mood to talk about prom. It was only September anyway.

I nodded my head in agreement not really listening to her. "Why don't we talk about something else?" I asked her trying urgently to change the subject.

She looked at me confused because, I'll admit, it was out of character for me. All I used to do when we first started high school was talk about prom. That was the one thing that always peaked my interest about being here. I wanted to get all dressed up, finally put some make up on, and have the date of my dreams. Seeing as I wouldn't get the date, I wanted nothing to do with it. If that night was going to be perfect, I couldn't accept anything less.

Violet sighed and looked down to the ground. I know I put her in tough situations sometimes. I don't mean to be rude to her, but she understands where I'm coming from. We were best friends after all. Sometimes I felt bad for cutting her off like that. I was still hurting unfortunately and there was nothing that was going to fix the heart that was completely broken.

We rounded the corner and Violet looked at me intently. "Savannah, I know how you're feeling, I do. I miss them too, but what can we do now? They've been gone for 3 years, we have to move on." She tried to convince me. She tried this all the time, but I didn't want to hear it. I knew we would see them again someday.

I shook my head and clutched on to my book bag straps. "I can't do that! They left and didn't even give any notice!" I was angry. Every time I think about it, it makes me sad, but then that sadness turns to anger.

"Don't you think I know that? They were my friends too!" She yelled at me as we stopped in the middle of the hallway.

People were starting to look at us since we were yelling. My cheeks turned red from all the attention and I dragged Violet along with me. It wasn't uncommon that we'd argue about this. This time it felt different though. I can tell that Violet was actually hurting this time. She never expressed her feelings like this to me before. Especially not about this topic. It was very touchy, but we tried to avoid it at all cost. We didn't want people looking at us like we were crazy how they just did.

I sighed. "They were more than just friends to us though." I said as I felt my chest cave in. "We loved them."

Violet let out a nervous laugh. "You think they ever really knew that though? I mean, they were always talking or dating other girls. We were just friends to them."

She had a point. We've been friends since we were in diapers. If they thought anything about us, then it was probably that we were their little sisters or something. They never caught on to how much we really liked them. Violet was good at hiding her true feelings and I was good, but I would slip up here and there sometimes. Whatever the case, they definitely didn't notice anything. We were kind of oblivious to them.

I just ignored her question. The answer was obvious for her to figure it out on her own. This was how we spent our high school. Walking clones of ourselves not really wanting to be here but forced to because of our parents. This day should be as boring as always. Well, I would say that, but things sort of took a turn.

Not paying attention to where I was walking, I made the mistake and bumped into someone I had no intention on running into.

She turned to me and there was a frown instantly on her face. "Watch where you're going you bitch!" Maisie screamed at me. Ugh, I just had to run into her of all people.

I rolled my eyes and started walking away from her. She didn't seem to enjoy that much since she grabbed my arm and turned me around. Of course I snatched myself away from her and the fire in my eyes was real. I was going to try my best and keep my cool, but today just wasn't the day.

Maisie and I were bitter enemies. Violet didn't like her either, but her battle was with the little witches friend, Kora. Anyway, Maisie and I have never liked each other. We've been at the same schools for pretty much all of our lives. She used to bully me when we were in elementary school. I literally would go home crying to my mom, but of course I had Violet around to back me up. Our battle really started when we both ended up liking the same guy. Only thing is, I had the advantage since I was friends with that guy. She didn't like that either, but it was my chance to rub it in her face. Ever since I've been able to stand up for myself against her. Although, sometimes she did get to me.

She crossed her arms and smirked at me. "What have I told you about bumping into me?" She questioned me trying to put on this big girl act.

"And what the hell have I told you about standing in the middle of the hallway?" I retaliated. She wasn't about to talk to me like I was just some kind of slave to her. She must not know how much I've changed since we were little kids.

That only made her even more angry. Who really cares though? "Why you little..."

"Just save it, Maisie, we don't have time for you." Violet butted in. She was always the hot headed one.

"Was anyone talking to you, Violet?" Kora asked her kind of getting in her face. Violet didn't take that too lightly though.

Violet was raging with anger and she pushed Kora away from. "Stay the hell out of my face!" She yelled at the top of her lungs.

I definitely didn't want things to escalate. Especially not on the first day back, so I grabbed Violet's arm and started to walk away. If we walked away we would be able to avoid them and this stupid conflict all together. We're pretty much adults now. We shouldn't be fighting over guys anymore. Especially guys who weren't even around to witness our foolery. Neither one of us were going to win. If we really need to have a rivalry it had to be about something else now.

As we were walking away, I heard them scoff and could only imagine what was going to come out of their mouths this time. Probably something childish and not worth fighting over. They just never quit.

"Whatever, they're just jealous because Cole and Carson never wanted them in the first place." Kora opened her big mouth and made us freeze in place.

That stung. Like a lot. It was something that we already knew, but they didn't need to say it. That was a really low blow. They both knew exactly how we felt about those two because, let's face it, they felt the same way. It was hard to admit that, but it's true. You can't deny feelings. When they're there, then thats that. The fact that they even had to bring that up clearly means they're just hurting too and hiding their feelings just like we are. How pathetic.

There was nothing I could do though. All I wanted was to knock her silly. However, I wasn't going to do that. I was going to keep my cool and let her and her little side kick say what they wanted. That's all they were good at anyway, running their mouths but couldn't even back it up. They were no threat to me or to Violet. They were simply just pest looking for someone to feel sorry for them.

I looked over at Violet and I seen tears rolling down her cheeks. They weren't sad tears though, they were more of anger. It was the first time in awhile that I've seen her cry like this. She rarely let's things get to her. Sometimes words hold a lot of weight to them. This was one of those times. Seeing her act like this only made me feel the same way she was feeling right now.

However...

"What was that now?"

My hearted dropped. Could it be?
