"Nick get up!" I hear someone shout up the stairs. Today was the day of junior year at Westside High School. I was not look forward to it. "Nicole get up now!" My sister screams.
"I'm up!" I yell back at her still half asleep. When I get out of my bed I stumble over to my bathroom and start the shower. I get undressed and step in the steaming shower. It wakes me up enough to be able to get he rest of the way ready. While I was wrapping up in my towel the straining iron was warming up. I quickly brush my stringy hair then straighten it. My hair looked good. Next I did my make up. I don't do much with it. I used concealer, a nude eye liner, mascara, and colored lip balm. When I was done I picked out my outfit. I wore a thin white sweater with a pair of faded light blue skinny jeans that stopped three quarters of the way down. I put those on and wore my white vans with them. I slipped on a bracelet and walked downstairs with my phone.
"You look pretty today." My mom says to me.
"Thanks." I say to her as I look in the fridge for something to eat. After a few seconds of searching I grab a Naked juice and a protein bar from the pantry.
"Alexa! Hurry up! We're leaving in a few minutes!" I shout up to her. I look at my mom and she's smiling. "What?" I ask her.
"Nothing." She says smiling.
"Alexa! Hurry up!" I shout. A few seconds later she bounds down the stairs. "Are you ready?" I ask her. She nods and grabs a banana and a water. "Bye mom see you later." I say grabbing my keys and backpack.
"By girls see you later!" She says waving and disappears as I close the door to our house.
"God now we're going to be late." I say as I start my car and pull out of the driveway.
"No we're not. It's only 7:50." Alexa says pointing out the time.
"Yea exactly school starts at 8:10 and it takes us 10 minutes to get there." I tell her. After that we ride all the way to school in silence. As soon as we park Alexa runs out to meet her friends who were already there. Me on the other hand didn't really have any friends. I mean I guess I had a few but we don't really hang out. When I walk up to the school I go to my locker. Many friends were hugging each other and comparing schedules. "Great Chemistry." I muttered to myself as I saw it was my first class.
"You have assigned seats so just sit where you see your name." My teacher tells me. I look around and see my name at the back of the room and I sit down. Honestly I couldn't care less who sat by me. That was until he walked in. "Good morning Mr.Wilkinson." My teacher says. He nods and walks toward his seat. Wait he was walking toward me. Fuck does he sit next to me? Next thing I know he sits down right next to me. I groan to myself and put my forehead to the desk top.
"Did you finally realize how ugly you are?" Sam asks me.
"No. I've known that for a while now thank you." I reply to him. He was shocked that I replied to him like that. Sam never really had anyone stick up for themselves when he's rude to them. Well no one except for me.
"Okay class so even tough today is the first day of school you still have to do some work." The teacher says and gets multiple groans and complaints from his students. "You have a project due in three weeks so you'll be pairing up with the person sitting next to you." He tells us. Most people were happy because they were sitting next to their friend, best friend, or boyfriend/girlfriend. Me on the other hand would rather fail this class then have to spend three whole weeks working on some project with Sam.
"Looks like we're partners." Sam says rolling his eyes.
"Great." I said to him sarcastically.
"You're coming over to my house after school so you better be there by 3 and no later." He says to me. I shook my head and walked out of class when the bell rang.

It was finally lunch. I didn't really have anyone to sit next to so I just sat next to an old friend.
"Hey there stranger." Matt says.
"Hey." I say as I plop down next to him.
"What's wrong?" He asks me.
"I got paired with Sam to work on a Chemistry project." I say with a mouth full of food.
"I don't get why you hate him. Sam is actually a really cool guy." Matt says pointing his piece of pizza at me.
"It's complicated. And a very long story." I explain to Matt.

"Are you going to Jack's party Friday?" Matt asks me as we walk out of History together.
"Which Jack?" I ask.
"Do you really think it matters? They'll both be there." Matt tells me. I nod agreeing with him.
"So are you going? We can go together." He suggests.
"Sure why not." I say as we walk out to my car.
"Okay I'll text you the details later." Matt says walking to his car. I get in and my sister runs to the car.
"Hey how was your first day?" I ask her.
"Good. Did you hear that Sam got paired with some slutty girl to work on a project with him?" She asks me. I sigh and pull out.
"Unfortunately I did." I say to her turning on some music.
"What's wrong? I though you would be happy to hear that." She asks me confused.
"Because I'm the girl that got paired with him." I say to her and pull up to our house. "I've got to go to Sam's and I've got to be there in three minutes." I say to Alexia. She nods and quickly hops out. Sam's house was on the opposite of the neighborhood and I was able to get there in about seven minutes. I guess you could say our parents were rich. Both of mine were lawyers and His parents were doctors. When I arrive at his house I walk up to his door and knock on it.
"Hi Nicole." Sam's mom answers.
"Hi. Is Sam here? We're working on a project." I tell her.
"Yea he's up in his room." She says inviting me in.
"Thank you." I say and walk up the stairs toward his room. When I walk into his room he was sitting there listening to music with his stuff already out.
"You're late." He says not looking up from his phone.
"Sorry. I had to drop Alexa off at home." I tell him sitting down next to him.
"What are you doing first?" He asks me and grabs the sheet of information.
"I could start on the model if you could start on the adaptation." I tell him.
"Okay just don't fuck anything up." He says then starts writing. I sigh and start on the model with the supplies his mom bought for us.

"Done." I say to him.
"Me too. It's...wow it's 1 am." He says checking his phone.
"I should get going." I say to him.
"Just stay here. You know my mom and she won't let you drive this late." He says as he gets up and walks to his closet.
"Uh okay." I say packing up my stuff and and putting it on the floor.
"Here are some of Sara's clothes so just wear this to bed and wear this tomorrow." He says throwing the clothes at me then gets dressed, and I get dressed. When I get in the bed were both laying on opposite sides of the bed and I fall asleep.
