Jemma Newman is strong and sassy; a girl like no other. She can take anything you throw at her, except emotions....that's something she isn't used to.

"Jemma, please can you come to my office." I woke at the hear of my name from the loudspeaker.
"What, why, when, NOODLES!" I said, wiping the drool from my face. I saw a flash of light before me and looked at sir.
"Jemma, go to the principles office."
Principles office? What for? Well, if I'm going down..I'm doing it the old fashioned way...gonna blame it on Alice! Oh, but we're not friends anymore.
TURN DOWN FOR WHAT, okay that was random. What am I doing again? Oh, right.
I walked out of the classroom and into the principles office.
"Dumbl- Sir, you called me?" I say, taking a seat.
"Yes, can you please explain what this is?" He gave me the very same picture I uploaded on Facebook, this is going to be hard to blame on Alice, friend or not.
I just did the yes sir, no sir, sorry sir act and he let me go with a warning. On my way back I had another encounter with the floor, except it wasn't the floor, it was someone on the floor and me on top. Whoever it is, please let it not be Liam.
"Er, sorry, I wasn't looking where I was going." I say, looking in the eyes of who I bumped into, it was Ryan. He had freckles on his cheeks that you could only notice if you saw him up close, he looked cu-
What am I saying?
I get up and apologise again.
"I guess we're even." He says, I then walk my way and as does he.
I'm glad that moment only lasted one minute because I don't like interaction with dudes. I just don't.
That was awkward though.
I made my way back to my next class as the bell rang and this was the class I dreaded, for I shared it with Alice.
Through the whole lesson I didn't meet her eye even though I could see her glancing at me from time to time.
When the bell signalled lunch I made a runner. I ran to the cafeteria and selected a burger and coke. I turned to find an empty table but the only spare seats were next to Alice, no, Liam, NO and Ryan. It would have to be Ryan though when I sat next to him I felt queasy because of our recent awkward encounter in the corridors.
He said a simple 'hey' which I replied to with a nod. I picked up my burger and took a large bite. Ryan glanced at me and burst out laughing.
"Are you secretly American?" He says.
This is the weirdest day ever.
"Are you secretly Asian, because you see, I found out that they are extremely smart." I say, taking another bite.
"No, I'm not." He says, I then watch him pick up his burger and nibble at it.
"Yup, your Asian. DO NOT DENT IT." I say, giving him my imitation of Louis Tomlinson, which apparently is scary.
"Woah. Creepy Stalker Face."
That wasn't Ryan, I turned around to meet Liam.
Thank you god.
Note the sarcasm.
"So, Jemma, I was wondering, would you like a drive home?" He asks, his eyes locking with mine. I avert my eyes and turn around.
I don't see how this guy isn't getting the message. Like please, GET A LIFE YOU SON OF A CEILING FAN.
"I've got my own car." I say.
I hear a sigh and then Liam taps the seat next to me and the person on it walks away. Liam takes the seat and looks at me, his jaw clenched.
"Look, Jemma, if this is about..." He starts but I don't let him finish.
"Why would you think it's about that?" I say, sarcastically, he just sighs and walks off. I turn to see Ryan is gawping at me.
"What?" I say, picking up my burger and finishing it off.
"Give him a chance." Ryan says, nibbling on his burger.
"That's for me to decide, now go do math sums." I get up, grab my coke and start walking.
I walk to the science corridor, determined not to bump into anyone. The bell rings and I go to my lesson.
I sit down at my usual spot and wait for the whole class to walk in, I was the first one.
"Right, we are going to be doing experiments so I will be putting you into groups. You will be doing a project within these groups. Right, Sydney, Josh Cassie and Brian in one group. Jemma, Ryan, Liam and Zachary in another group..."
Look at my luck! I'm with Ryan, who I keep bumping into, I'm with Liam, oh great and with this dude who I don't even know. Plus, I'm the only girl.
I don't move so they all come to my table, sighing.
That is how you get it done, mother floppers.
"Ok, so I think it's best if we split into pairs. You know, the houses that are closer to each other so it's easy." I say, making sure Liam isn't my partner. Zachary and Ryan agree though Liam has his jaw clenched, saying 'ok' through gritted teeth. "Where do you guys live? It's Lets street for me." I say.
"Dawn street." Ryan says.
"Queen street, so I guess we are partners Ryan." Liam says.
"Melbourne, so we are partners. By the way, call me Zac, Zachary is a mouthful"
'I shall call you whatever I want. And I shall call you Zach. Because I said so.'
Zach raises an eyebrow but decides not to question me further. See, this guy is smart.
