Sasha's POV

"Hey Sash." Ember called out from across the street. I wave to her and stop walking so she can catch up. I hug her. Once we pull away from the hug and start to walk to school. "So I never got to ask you, what do you think about the new kid." I ask her curious to hear her answer. "I think she's cool." She tells me. "Okay, but what do you mean by cool." She stops and looks at me. "Sasha." "What." "Do you like her?" She asks me. I avoid looking her in the eye. "Omg you do. Why? Since when? Do you know what'll happen if everyone finds out they'll never treat you the same." She says, her voice now in a high pitched tone. I glare at her. " I don't care what they'll do. I'm always so mean to her, so she probably doesn't like me anyway." I say now looking down at the ground. "Okay one you must really like her because you've only been mean to one other person and you ended up dating him. Maybe she does like you back, you haven't fought her yet so that's a sign right." She says attempting to be optimistic. I nod. "New topic please?" I plead. Her eyes light up. "Race?" She asks. "No Ember we're not ten." I say pretending to be serious. I watch her smile form into a pout. I laugh at her. "Ember." "Yeah." "On your mark, get set,go. " I say quickly before taking off toward the school with Ember close behind me.

We finally make it to the school. We stand by the entrance out of breath and sweating. I feel eyes burning into my skin. I look around but see everyone talking and paying no attention to Ember and I. Ember nudges my arm getting my attention immediately. She point's in the direction of a group of jocks. I see a girl with a side ponytails and a varsity jacket. It was Bayley. She was in a daze staring at me, starry eyed and drooling. A light blush creeps onto my cheeks. I roll my eyes and pull Ember into the building.

Bayley's POV

She was there, out of breath and sweaty. She was wearing a black crop top, blue ripped jeans, black vans, and a black beanie. She looked hot. I snap out of it when hear  someone yell my name. "You okay Bayls?" Charlotte asks me. I nod. We walk into the building and the first person I see is a perky blonde with pink tips wearing a cheer uniform. 'Alexa yay'. The voice in my head says in a sarcastic tone. She bounces toward me. "Hi Bayley." She says all happy and perky. "Hey." I respond paying no attention to her at all. I looked around the hall for Sasha. She wasn't at her locker or at any of her friends lockers. She wasn't in this side of the hall. "So do you know about the party?" She asked me still perky. "The one at Roman's house on Friday.. Yeah of course I know about it he's one of my friends." I say a little rudely. "Right." She pauses. "So I was wondering if you wanted go with me." She says in a now hopeful tone. I look down at her. "Why. I'm gonna see you there." I ask confused. "Yeah but I wanted to like hang out with you before the party." "Yeah sure whatever." I tell her. She hops away all perky.

The warning bell rang, signaling that we needed to hurry up and get to class. I get my stuff out my locker then walk to class. Not very many students are there yet. "Good Morning Mrs. Stratus." I say with a polite smile. She stops writing on the bored and turns to face me. "Good morning Bayley. Take your seat please." "Yes ma'am." I sit down next to Sasha. I start staring at her. "Take a picture it'll last longer." She whispers looking up from her phone. 'I love the sound of her voice, It's so beautiful.' "Thanks. Maybe you shouldn't say that out next time." She looks back down at her phone. "Sorry Sasha." I look down at the ground. The bell rang again. Class had officially started. Mrs. Stratus closed the door after the last few students had walked in.  "Okay class, for the next 2 months You will have to complete a project. This project will take until the end of the semester of course so it will count as an exam grade. You will be paired for the project. You and your partner will visit places in the city. This is a big city so I don't expect every pair in this classroom to have the exact same project. Your limit is 8 places. I want to see pictures and everything. Go all out, be extra. the deadline is the day before the school's Christmas program. Your project must be completed online. Power point or whatever you use these days. Email it to me once done. Go to the board to find out who your partner is then sit with your partner and start planning. No switching, No complaining. I don't change my mind once things are decided and all of you know that." She tells the class then sits down at her desk. I walk up to the board to find my name. I look through the list of names.
