A/n: Alright so this is the first chapter, so I hope it goes well ...

----------------------------------------------------

My name, is Alice Jenkins. I, am a wallflower, or at least that's how I've been viewed my whole life. I never understood why people threw me with the group that was consider the socially awkward, and the reclusive. I've always been really outgoing, friendly, and optimistic.

Sure it may take me some time to get comfortable with someone, enough to be my normal self, but not only do people not give me that time, but they don't really seem to care I'm even alive. Sometimes, I think wallflower seems to fit me, not because of my actions like in most cases, but because of others actions. I doubt anyone outside of my group of friends could even tell you my last name.

I bet Louis wouldn't even be able to tell you, at least not anymore. Let me fill you in. Louis, is the schools top dog, as some put it. The boy everyone wants to date, captain of our football team, and of course he's gorgeous. You see, Louis and I used to be absolutely inseparable, we were joined at the hip. We had grown up next door to each other, we had play dates everyday, and every weekend we were at each others house. It'd always been like that, Louis and I against the world. Two kids who loved the world, and weren't afraid of anything.

It stayed that way from diapers to 7th grade. That's when we started to drift from each other. We had both been looking forward to high school, and couldn't believe we were only two years away ! That's the year Louis decided he wanted to take his footie skills from our backyards to the pitch. He tried out for the schools team, and made it on his first try. That's when our friendship was put to a test.

I had an exceptional talent for playing the guitar, and singing, so it was only sane to join choir, and band, the singing group for the school, anything music related. I also had a passion for acting, so I joined drama, musical theatre, and after school play programs. With both of us busy with our new hobbies, we didn't have time to notice each other during school. But it wasn't until summer, that I really noticed how far we'd drifted. Louis went to a summer camp or football, and had spent half the summer there, the other half he spent hanging out with his new football buddies.

That summer was the loneliest time in my life. Sure I had my friends I hung out with too, but I missed Lou. He was my best friend. It was worse when I started to be more conscious of boys, and the way I looked, working out regularly, and getting manicures. That's when I realized, I currently, and always had loved Louis, and the feelings weren't leaving anytime soon.

The next year, eighth grade, was when I began pushing the feelings down, quit chasing his friendship. I grew more social, and began to become so outgoing I was always quite hyper, and I became carefree and loving. But I felt a pang in my heart every time I passed the beautiful boy i used to call my only friend.

The next three years were the same, we both grew up and didn't resemble the children we once were, soon it was our senior year, which is where my story really begins.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I opened my eyes slowly as the sun shone brightly into my room, my alarm clock was blaring obnoxiously next to me. Slapping the snooze, I snuggled back into my blankets. My door flung open with a loud 'bang'. I flinched and snuggled in deeper.

"Mum, no offense, I love you and all, but GO AWAY." I heard a slight giggle and someone jump onto my bed, bouncing slightly.

"Awh, is poor little Allie tired ? Well too bad, get up slow-poke, I won't be late my first day for our Senior year ! Come on ! It's actually sunny, and warm ! I'm going to pick out your outfit, now get up !" Now is probably a good time to introduce my best friend Maliya. She was tall and slender, very agile, and she had dark black long hair that fell pin straight around her porcelain face. I opened my eyes slowly to see her bright blue ones inches from my face. She pokes my cheek and continued to stare with a blank face.

"Muh-lie-yuuhhh," I whined, dragging out every syllable,"don't poke me! I'm not an animal!" She giggled and helped me up as I stood. I got dressed quickly and sat in front if my vanity as Maliya did my first day hair and makeup. I sighed as I glanced at the picture of me and Louis when we were eleven, I had it in a silver frame on the wide tabletop.

"Are your first day jitters because of Lou?" Maliya smiled sympathetically at me as she swept my blonde hair up in a gentle up-do.

"They're not jitters, Mi. It's me being afraid to see the boy I've loved all my life walk by me, and not even know who I am," I frowned as she began my makeup while still glancing at the picture sadly.

"You'll have to face him sometime Ali. The sooner the better. Who knows, maybe you'll have classes with him this year and he'll be forced to remember the good time, yeah?" She smiled again.

That's exactly what I didn't want. What do you say to someone you didn't realize you loved until they were gone ? Someone who still lives next to you, but doesn't even remember your name? Oddly enough though, his parents moved out, to Wilmington, leaving Louis the house, and a monthly allowance on top of what he made from the local auto repair shop. My thoughts were interrupted when Maliya viciously began attacking my rib cage with her fingers.

I laughed loudly squirming and falling off my chair with an 'oomph'. Maliya just laughed, I looked at the ceiling than began laughing just as hard as her. I had always been one to laugh at absolutely nothing anytime. I stood and grabbed my backpack flinging it over my shoulder, snatched m keys from the dresser, an Maylia from her doubled up position on my chair, still giggling.

We sprinted downstairs, and to my car, and on my way to school I made a promise I myself .

'I will not let Louis Tomlinson ruin my Senior year.'
