Chapter 1 : Cantankerous

Stanton Academy, the one place I can't stand, other than my house.

As I walk through the main hallway filled with lockers I couldn't help but think of how terrible this school is, and I'm talking about the people. I might not be friends with anyone even though Jacob is the most popular boy in the school but no one exactly likes me because of how "weird" I am. There were even rumors going around the school that I was a hoe because I fucked Jacob and Bradley Pion the same night. These rumors doesn't affect me, because I'm fucked up like that. All that mattered was that, Jacob knew the truth.

As I pack my books in my locker 138 the bell rang, but I didn't care. I took my time and made sure that I had snacks in my bag for class. When I got to my first class, Math, Mr. Cullin was walking around his desk searching for something in a hurry. His in no rush, it's just the way he is.

"Psst Ana!" I heard my bestfriend call me from all the way across the room.

I looked up at him and only half smiled. I make my way towards him and was just about to sit in the chair next to him when Stacy put her fat ass on my seat.

"Were you going to sit here?" She asked in a high, annoying voice. I just stared, I knew I was pulling 'that' face again. The face Jacob tells me I pull when I'm annoyed.

"Yes she was, Stacy." He smiled at her. He use to have a major crush on her big time, how fucking cute. Now he can barely stand next to her without puking, I however was more than happy to see that in action.

"Oh, well sorry I guess the seat is taken." She made herself comfortable and leaned into Jacob, he instantly got up and looked at Stacy disgusted.

"You sit there, c'mon Ana I think I'm going to be sick." I knew he was being dramatic but it made me smile.

"Alright class, sit down." Mr. Cullin ordered. We did as we're told, the only seats empty were three in the front row, I hate sitting at the front. I plopped down in the seat furtherst from the teacher and sank down in my chair hoping he wouldn't notice me.

" Let's go through the basics of Algebra-" he started, but was shortly cut off by the soft knock on the door. A pretty girl came stumbling in, shoulder length brown hair, taller than me for sure. I looked over at Jacob but he was practically drooling, fucking great.

"Jacob, you going to catch a fly." I commented.

He blinked and looked back at me. "She's...okay I guess?"

"I didn't ask." I smiled at him.

"Grade 10s, we have a new student joining us today, she goes by the name of..." Mr. Cullin stared at her expectedly.

"Zoey Garcia." She said proudly , Mr. Cullin smiled.

"So where can you sit..." He thought out loud.

"I'll sit here." She sat down right next to me, I could smell her perfume was how close she was. I almost shivered when I realised all eyes were on us.

"I wasn't exactly aski- okay nevermind. Class go to page 55 please-"

The bell went off 5 minutes ago for our last class before lunch, Jacob and I were walking to the cafeteria when I heard someone running up behind us. Just as they were about to fall on me I put my hands up covering my face, but to my surprise no one did.

I opened one eye and stared at the new girl, Chloe? Flo?

"Hi guys I'm Zoey...the new girl." she grinned and offered a hand to greet me. I stared at it for what felt like ages and eventually took it.
