Zara's POV:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Today, was sadly the start of a new term at my school, I always get butterflies in my stomach, like first day nerves, even thought, it'll all turn out fine, I was awoken bright and early by the sound of my bedroom door being hit with Pebbles' tail, I showered and changed into a striped shirt and black skinny jeans, I slipped on some black pumps and walked towards the kitchen, to my surprise, mum hadn't left yet, her blonde hair was tied up into a loose ponytail and she wore a white shirt, jeans and a long grey cardigan, she had large under eye circles, she had her one hand in the Cereal box and one hand gulping down milk from a plastic cup.
she'd suddenly noticed my presence, "Oh, hello dear." I nodded, popping some bread in the toaster and smelt the fumes of it cooking, she finished and popped her cup into the sink. "Right, I'm off," she said, leaving a fiver on the kitchen table then leaving out of the front door, it slammed and the lock snapped down.
I walked down the path of the apartment, towards the little bike paddock, I took a small key out of my pocket and removed the lock, I pedaled it down the hill then crossed over the main road, I dodged the teenagers walking on the pavements and clicked my bell a number of times.
I rode my bike through the school gates and parked it in the bike park, I walked through the doors just in time for the first lesson,
by the time Lunch came, I was starving. I stood in the Que, being shoved a number of times by younger kids. "Hey, Za' Can I cut in with you, babe?" a familiar voice asked, my eyes snapped up to identify her,
"Kira! Hey! Sure!" I said, Kira, was in my year, a good friend of mine.. She knew my deepest secrets, we hadn't seen much of each other over the summer, she'd been visiting some family in Pennsylvania.
"How was your summer then?" Kira asked, handing the correct change in then, taking her sandwich, we walked towards our hang out. I walked beside her.
"Rubbish..How about you?" I said, I didn't really want to go into much detail, I'd spent most of the summer watching re-runs of Grey's anatomy.
"AM-AZING. I had a little..Fling." she said, then covered her mouth..
"What do you mean?...Who with?" we sat at the back of one of the old stock buildings, I slid my butt along it then fell into a comfy position,
"My cousin's friend, he was pretty gorgeous." she said, then flipped out her blackberry and started checking it.
The rest of the day was pretty boring, when I got home. I collapsed on the sofa, into a deep sleep.

Zoeys Pov.
I woke up bright and early this morning to the sound of my step-brother's music blasting next door to me. I sighed, and pushed my blonde hair out of my face, I sat up and rubbed my eyes, I was about to lay back down when I remembered I had school today, I go to some private broading school, exept I don't stay there, I only live 10 minutes away from there. I walked over to my curtains and opened them looking out of the window.
After i'd showered and washed, I changed into my plain white summer dress, it had a brown belt going across it just above my waist, I put some see-through tights on and some black pumps, I quickly brought a comb through my hair and walked out, I made my way through the hallway and down into the kitchen, "Hello Zoey dear, i've made you and Lucas pancakes." I smiled at our cook, Roseanne. I looked at Lucas across the room, who smiled at me with his mouth full, I wrinckled my nose up in disgust.
After we'd finished breakfast I got hold of my black rucksack and shouted for Lucas "Coming." I heard back, I walked down the path to Lucas's car.
"We're here Zoey, For god's sake, get out! I need to go and see Abbie!" I rolled my eyes, and got out of the car.
"Abbie this, Abbie that! GROW UP LUCAS." I shouted slamming the door closed and walking through the school gates, I turned to see his car had gone. I walked into the large red building that I call 'school.' I always come half an hour early so I can go to Lucy's room before school. Lucy's my bestfriend, she broads here. I smiled at a few people before I got to a long flight of twisty stairs, I made my way to the 5th floor and walked down the corridor, Once i'd found door number 57 I knocked. "Come in" I heard Lucy's timid voice shout, I opened the door and smiled at my bestfriend.
"Hey Luc! How you doing?" I smiled at Lucy.
"Yeah good, Let me just do my hair then we can go to class! I want to sit at the back this time" Lucy replied, I laughed at her. Lucy had short black hair which went up to her shoulders, she was wearing some orange shorts and tights with a white vest top. Once she was done we made our way to the english classroom.
********************
I looked at the clock on the big orange walls, it's lunch time? Already? I heard the little bell ring in the corner. "Right then, after lunch as you know, it's monday, so all us year 12's will be be having a little disco party, in the acting room. Class dismissed." I smiled at mrs tomplins as I walked out of the classroom with Lucy.
"Oh my gosh, Zo! I'm so exited to see Kyle!" I heard Lucy exclaim, I smiled at her. Kyle's her boyfriend. He has some annoying friend called Tom, they bust most of our partys. sneaking alcohol, I've never got drunk i'm not the kind of girl to do that. Lucy always does, so to the boys. They're 23.
**********
We've been at the party for an hour now, and the boys still aren't here.
"Er, where are they!?" Lucy asked me for the 5th time, i shrugged, for the 5th time. We sat down for another 10 minutes, waiting. "Heyah sweet cheeks! We're here!" I saw Lucy's face light up as she ran to Kyle, within 2 seconds they were in a massive make-out session, I sighed and sat on a stool. I felt a hand on my shoulder. "Alright gorgeous? fancy a vodka?" I looked up at Tom. "No thanks." I replied.
"Why not? Won't do you no harm babe?"
"DONT. Call me babe." I fake smiled at him.
"Come on sweetie? Try one?"
I sighed and took the vodka off him, I sighed and took a swig.
**********************
"Come ON, Zoey! Your drunk, let's get you home!" Lucy said tugging my arm, she had a paniced look on her little face.
"NO! ITS FUUUUUUUN! COME ON LUCY! LIGHTEN UP, WE'RE ALLLLLLLLLLLLL DRUNK!" I splutted.
"No, Nobody else is Zoey." Lucy said. "Oh come on, Luce. Leave her. She's easier to get this way." Tom said, before pushing me against the wall and kissing me, AGAIN. "NO! She doesn't know what she's doing-" that's all I heard before passing out.
"Oh my gosh, this is all your fault Tom!" I heard Lucy shout, I opened my eyes. I was being carried. I looked up at Tom who smirked at me. I closed my eyes again, and the next thing I knew I was in a deep sleep on my sofa..
