edited 12/29/16 (IF YOU ARE NEW TO THIS STORY PLEASE READ THIS BEFORE YOU ACTUALLY START READING THE BOOK. I STARTED THIS BOOK WHEN I WAS YOUNGER, LIKE ELEVEN, I KNOW CRINGY, AND DIDN'T DECIDE TO COME BACK TO IT UNTIL RECENTLY. CHAPTERS 1-6 ARE ROUGHLY WRITTEN AND SWITCH POVS A LOT. READ AT YOUR OWN RISK BUT KNOW THAT THE STORY AND WRITING QUALITY DOES GET WAY BETTER STARTING WITH CHAPTER 7. I'LL PROBABLY EVEN GO BACK AND REWRITE THE FIRST SIX CHAPTERS EVENTUALLY.)

As I skated onto the front walk of Moonacre Valley High School I felt confident as I zoomed by everybody. It was hard starting school in the middle of the year. But I had no choice since my father and mother recently dumped me of at my uncle's house and ran away. Real mature guys. I mean who in their right mind would do that? I guess they never were normal, considering the fact that they homeschooled me till the six grade, often left me at home all by myself for days, and still wore the style of the sixties! I slowly drifted away from them until I barely cared about them.

(Robin De Noir's POV)

I was sitting at my normal picnic table in front of the school laughing and joking with my friends about stupid stuff when a new girl dressed head to toe in black whizzed by on her skateboard.

"Hey guys, check it out. New girl." I said. All eyes turned to the girl as she expertly popped her skateboard up and caught it with her hand.

Kody whistled and said, "Dang she's hot". She was hot, more like drop dead gorgeous. She had long blonde hair and bright hazel eyes. She was dressed in black leggings, a black long sleeved shirt with a black leather jacket, and black tightly laced combat boots.

(Maria's POV Again)

The school seemed nice enough with it shiny floors and bright colored walls. The only thing that bothered me was the lack of students inside actually studying. I didn't necessarily like school but I did care about getting a good education and going to a good college. I don't want to be stuck us some worker serving up fast food at KFC. I made my way slowly to the office wasting time so I didn't have to face the big bad principal just yet. When I did make it to the doors I opened them and the lady at the office desk immediately welcomed me.

"Welcome! You must be Maria. I'm Mrs. Burch and I think that you're really going to like it here" she said with a smile that looked like she really meant it.

"Thanks", I said as she handed me a big folder and directed me over to a girl with braces and a sash that said "Official Moonacre Valley High Tour Guide" on it.

"Hi, I'm Kayla but you can call me Kay", The peppy girl said beaming at me.

"Hi I'm Maria", I said. She then proceeded to give me a tour of the whole school (which took over an hour). By the time she was done I was exhausted and just wanted to sit down.

"So any questions?" The peppy girl asked. Even though it was obvious I had none. She had done a perfectly good job of explaining everything.

"Nope" I said.

"Okay so your first class is French in Mr.Hawkeyes room. We have practically the same schedule. I'm going there too in second-period. You should like him, he's really nice." I nodded my head and we walked down the hallway to his class.

"Um, Kay? Can I stop at my locker and drop off my backpack?" I said.

"Um" I watched as Kay's eyes grew wide. "Hurry this way" She pushed open the door to the girl's bathroom and rushed me inside. "Did you see that group of boys at the end of the hallway?" She said.

"Yeah, what about them?"I replied.

"Those are the De Noirs, you don't want to mess with them. Rumor is last year they formed a gang and now they're looking to recruit people. Seriously all they are, is trouble." She said.

"So stay away from the De Noirs. Any other tips?"I said jokingly. She laughed and looked out the door.

"They're gone. Let's go." Kay said. We walked out of the bathroom and down the hall to locker 5222. Geez there's a lot of lockers. "Ok here's your locker. Your lucky you don't have to share."She said. She handed me a slip of paper that read 5212. "That's my locker number. I'm just 10 lockers to your left." She said pointing. The lockers were a ugly poop green color and I already hated them!

"So are there any cute boys in this school?" I asked hoping there was at least some cute ones.

"Well Robin is super hot but he's a De Noir,"She replied, "So he's off limits. And I guess Owen is pretty cute if you're into nerds. But honesty there aren't very many cute people in this school."

"Darn it," I muttered. She started walking towards a room and I followed. As we walked into the classroom everybody stared at me.

"Bonjour Miss Merryweather," she said smiling " I'm Mrs.Hawkeye and this is french class!" she said in a french accent "You'll be sitting by Evan in the back. He's your textbook now sit." As Mrs.Hawkeye said the name Evan, Kay's eyes widened in shock. "Please sit also Miss Summer" Kay sat down mouthing words to me that I couldn't understand. Interrupting us Mrs.Hawkeye starts talking in rapid French and the students are nodding and taking notes and I'm sitting there totally confused because I don't understand anything she's saying. I thought this was a beginner class to learning French, I guess I was wrong. Suddenly the dude named Evan taps me on the shoulder. I jumped because I wasn't expecting it.

"So I guess I'm not the only one who dosen't get it huh," he said " I guess your not the smarty pants I thought you were." How dare he talk to me like that! I took my hand and slapped his face. It made a loud noise I was surprised nobody heard.

"You never talk to a lady like that!" I hissed at him. His eyes suddenly changed from amused to angry.

" And you never slap a De Noir!" he hissed back at me. He slapped me on the face and I could feel a bruise forming. I turned around to face the whiteboard and suddenly the class got very quiet.

"Hey Merryweather can I borrow a pencil?" Evan said rather loudly. I gritted my teeth and ignored him.

"Miss Merryweather please give Evan a pencil to borrow." Mrs.Hawkeye said. I handed him a pencil and turned around.

"Thanks doll," he commented.

"Mrs.Merryweather say your welcome." Mrs.Hawkeye said angryly.

"WELCOME" I said loudly.

" Watch your aditude young lady" she replied. Suddenly the bell rang and everybody got up to go to the next period. Suddenly I felt a strong grip on my arm. I tried to pull away but it held on tight.

" You better watch your back darling" he wispered in my ear and slipped silently into the crowd of people.
