Chapter 1

"Mom come on! I don't want to be late on my first day!"
It was my first day of 8th grade! I'm so excited. I get to see all my friends that I missed so much. But the thing I misses the most was my best friend. His name is

. Me and him were close since 6th grade. Every morning he would send me cute good morning texts. He's such a flirt.
"Ashley, are you coming or not?!" my mom said
"I'm coming calm down!" I yelled
My mom is so aggravating. She is always punishing me and my older brother Ryan for no reason! But the one person she never punishes is my little sister Blake. I love Blake but she can be a real pain in the ass.
I was so deep in my thoughts I didn't even know we were here. The school looks just as ghetto as I can remember but I love it that way.

As I walked in the gym I could see people giving me an evil glare. I didn't really care I get that a lot. Lots of people don't like me, they say I'm stuck up, stupid but it doesn't really matter I am gonna be myself no matter what.
As I walked to go sit down I got a few hellos from people I honestly didn't know but I waved and gave a small little smile. The one thing I hate about sitting in the gym is that you don't even know who your gonna sit by. You could sit by someone you know or don't know you just have to hope for the best. I always end up sitting by someone that doesn't even like me.
Then they try to argue with me and then they want to make a big old scene in the hallway. It's like a routine with these guys I can't deal. Then finally I saw somebody coming to sit by me. I couldn't figure out who it was. "Meliek!" I squealed.
"Don't talk to me." He said while turning his head. "Meliek, what did I do this timeee?" I said pushing him.
"You want to be the first to say hey but you can't text a nigga back."he said
We were released from the gym to go to our homerooms but I caught up with Meliek.
"Who do you have for homeroom?" he asked.
"Oh no I thought you weren't talking to me."
" Answer my damn question!" He said loudly, a little too loudly. "Whose child was that!" A loud voice said that came out of know where. She grabbed him and said," Why don't I escort you to the office" the teacher said. I was trying so hard not to laugh but it it's really badly I end up spitting all over the place.
" But can I hug my baby first?" He said motioned towards me. We hugged for a short second. But guys before you even think that no me and him are not dating he just knows that if a teacher thinks someone's dating there going to tell it to ever teacher and they will never, ever stop talking about it.
She gave me a weird look. I couldn't help but noticed she had a name tag on that said Ms.Rutledge. I have her as my homeroom teacher and what teacher wears a name tag Oh Lord.
I walked in class and I couldn't believe who was in my class. Emily Muzon the whore of the school and yes Middle schools have those too.
Emily and I use to be friends until someone told me she said something's about. I honestly didn't believe them but they showed me a recording that kind of creeped me out. But I was sold. I confronted Emily and she just started yelling things like," Why do you always have to attack me where supposed to be friends!"
But the whole time I was confused. That's the exact same thing I should be saying to her. But I just walked off.

I silently walked to a seat far a way from Emily and her "THOT squad" those aren't actually my words that's what people actually call them but that's none of my business. I sat by an old friend named Avalon. "Hey Avalon"
"Hey Ashy" she said with a small smile. If you didn't know Ashy is what they called me.
"Why can't school start at 2 o'clock. It's messing up my whole sleep schedule I had a good thing going on there."
