Haley POV

Same old love started blaring as my alarm started to go off.

Hi my name is Haley Paterson and I'm your average 16 year old. I go to high school, get good grades, have great friends and oh! I went to England in an exchange program for the past 2 years.

Today is my first day back and I wanted to surprise my old friends. Did I mention that it's the first day of school too. It's been nice in England and I'm grateful for the experience but I'm glad to be back.

I've missed the familiarity of home and most of all I've missed my car. It's a dark blue Lamborghini. Oh how I've missed my baby while I was in England. Anyway it's time for me to get ready for school.

I'm thinking since it's hot today I'll wear a pair of black shorts, a white crop top, red flannel around my waist, black boots and my leather serpent jacket. For my hair I'll tie it into a ponytail since it's in natural curls.

As I leave the house I call out a goodbye to my parents in the kitchen and pick up my backpack by the door. Getting into my Lamborghini I take off for school. When I get there I'm getting alot of stares from the students but by now I'm used to it. It's the same way the kids in England looked at me the first week of school.

As I walk to the front door I notice a wire by the door but to humor the prankster who organized this I'll go through it. I packed extra clothes anyway so I'll be fine and my hair is blonde so the flour shouldn't do much damage.

As I walk through the front door I throw my bag to the side along with my jacket so they won't get messed. The moment the flour falls on me, a smile takes over my face as I look for the prankster who organized this.

Once I find him I go over to him and extend my hand for a handshake. "Hi, I'm Haley Paterson and you are?" I said in the sweetest voice I could muster. "Kayden Jonas" he says while trying to stifle his laughter. "Well Kayden Jonas it was a lovely prank you set up but very sloppy" I told him. "What do you mean, you walked straight into it" he says with a mocking tone.

"Have you noticed I don't have my jacket and bag, they're over there. It's because I saw your prank before I walked through, the only reason I went through that was to humor you.
Anyway, bye boys." With that said I walked over to my bag and jacket and went to go clean up and change.

As I was walking to the office I notice that not much has changed just a few students here and there but otherwise the school hasn't changed much. When I got to the office I saw the same sweet lady that's always there Mrs. Parker.

I walked up to her and greeted her, hopefully she remembers me. "Haley? Is that you? You look so different child." She said. "Yes Mrs. P it's me. I know I've changed alot while in England. You don't look any different though, still sweet and young." I said to her. She thanked me and handed me my schedule and locker assignment.

As I headed off to my first class I thought of the boy who pranked me and ways to get him back. This was going to be a fun year. You see in the school at England any form of rebellion will get you a really bad punishment or expulsion.

When I got there I saw that I have Mr. Porter for English this year. He's nit a bad teacher but he can get very boring. As I knocked on his door he asked me why I'm late. I answered with, "I'm late because I was pranked this morning and had to change then go to the office for my schedule and locker assignment. Mr. Porter I'm sad that you don't remember your favorite student."

He looked at me real closely then opened his arms in a hug me motion and so I did. You see Mr. Porter and I have a weird relationship. My parents go to work alot so they aren't around alot. Mr. Porter kind of adopted a father role to me.

He then told me to go to an open seat. As I was walking to the only one left which happened to be my seat I could feel everyone staring at me. Mr. Porter continued his class when someone asked if he wasn't going to introduce me. "OK then but I would think you would all know her. Everyone this is Haley Paterson. She used to go here but went to England in an exchange program for 2 years and now she's back." As he said my name the class broke into whispers and murmers.

Mr Porter then continued with his class. As I walked from class to class I was apparently the talk of the school in every conversation I heard my name. In my classes I saw many of my friends and we reconnected. After all the drama this morning I'm waiting for lunch.

As my friends and I walk to the lunch room I notice a prank set up at the door. Telling my friends to stop made them look at me in question. I showed them all the prank spots and then gestured for them to follow me to the side entrance. As we walked around to the side we saw Kayden and his friends looking expectantly at the door.

As my friends and I walked in quietly, we snuck up behind Kayden and his friends. Once we got there we said boo in their ears. They jumped so high off the ground I was surprised they didn't hit the roof. As they turned around many of his friends went to mine and hugged them and greeted them. As I looked at them my eyes went wide with realization. "You know what I take back what I said about joining you guys for lunch. I am not staying anymore." As I turn to run, big arms circle around my waist keeping me in place.

I thrashed about in Kayden's arms. When I got sick of wailing about I scratched his arms. I'm so happy I had my manicure done. He removed his arms in pain letting me go as I was just about tk run he got me again. This time I didn't fight back because I was getting tired of this. "OK let me go. I won't run for now." He let me go but still regarded me with caution. As we went to sit down, he and his friends looked at me expectantly and I just raised my eyebrows at them.

"So how'd you avoid our prank?" they asked. "Like I said the way you guys prank is sloppy. As we were walking here I saw the whole thing and I don't have an extra extra pair of clothes so not doing that." They all looked at me urging me to go on. I just looked at my friends willing them to elaborate. As they told the boys who I am, I blanked out into my own world sk i could think.

"So wh-" he was cut of by the bell. I picked up my stuff and walked out going to my next class. The rest of the day went by in a haze to me.

When I got home from school my mom said to get ready because we were having our neighbour's over for dinner to get to know them. I just nodded and headed to my room. I was having a bad feeling about this dinner....
