Chapter 1: New Kid

~Shae's Pov~

I woke up to the sound of an annoying scream which turned out to be my alarm. The screaming thing was Liam's voice recorded on my phone and how it got there, I have no idea but I do know that he set it as my alarm, oh how I missed him. You see, his family had a trip thing to go on and they refused to let Liam stay, even though he wanted to stay home, so I was stuck here to start the new semester without him, but luckily he's coming back this month though he never told me when. We talked almost every day but it just wasn't the same.

Getting out of bed was hard but school called and oh how I wanted to ignore it. I got dressed and did all the necessary things, like bathing, changing and makeup. I went downstairs to the kitchen where I saw a plate of food and a note from my mom. Sitting down I read the note while I ate. Apparently I was expected to walk to school because my mom left me here without a lift.  

Great, *note sarcasm*. I could already tell that today was going to be a long day. Walking to school was short and when I reached there I was bombarded by my friends. Let's just say that my group or whatever you want to call it, is the popular group, Liam was in this group but he, you know, left for a bit but anyways, when we heard that there was a new kid and well, things got a bit different. You see, my so called 'friends' don't take kindly to newbies as we called them.

"There he is," said Zach pointing at a dark brown haired boy wearing a plain white T, a dark blue and white varsity jacket and blue jeans. Dark shades covered his eyes so couldn't get a good look at them, but from what could see, he looked like  he didn't want to be here and just by the way he walked said it all.

I was wrong, the school day did pass by quickly and I only had one more class. Music. My favourite subject. I got my books out of my locker and started on my way to class when I saw a lost boy. I walked up to him and said "Hey you're the new kid right?"

"Yeah," he said and I could hear a slight Bradford accent, don't ask me how.

"Well I was wondering if I could--" but I was cut off.

"Look I don't need you adding to the bunch of girls who were flirting with me, I just want to get to my last class and get this day over with, okay" he said to me. Rude much?

"I wasn't doing that, all I wanted to know is if you needed help finding the class but I can see your doing perfectly fine on your own, so bye," I waved and walked off. God he had some nerve to just talk to people like that, well that's what I get for trying to be nice.

"Hey, wait up!" I heard foot steps and a couple of seconds later the new kid was standing next to me. "Look I'm sorry, it's just the whole new school, new house thing that's making me act like this, I'm not normally like this and I kind of do need your help to find my next class, so what do you say. Want to help me?"

Oh come on Shaniah say no, all you have to do is say no after how he talked to you. Ugh I am so going to regret this," Sure no problem. What is it?" I checked the paper he showed me. Music, great. (again, sarcasm)

"Follow me."

As we entered class Mr. Mikes, our music teacher, started to talk," This week we will be doing duets. Each one of you will have to sing, in front of everyone, then I will pair you up. You will then perform a song of your choice next week Monday." Great first day of school and in my favourite class I get homework. Mr. Mikes started calling names in a random order, this was going to take a while. I zoned out but eventually I heard my name. I walked up to the front of the class and started to sing Big Girls Don't Cry by Fergie.
