I was pushed onto the side of the car roughly. I gasped at the impact. "Oh, you hate me?" He asked as we both breathed heavily. He had me pinned between him and the car. His warm breath waved on my neck sending cold chills down my body. "Don't you ever say that again." He growled. I closed my eyes and looked down, afraid of his tone. "I know you Jamie...better than anyone-even Rick. That's funny huh? I know you more than your best friend?" He said breathlessly as I tried to push him off of me. *********************************************************************************** Jamie isn't your average girl, she's into car races, sports, and is constantly finding her way into trouble.

But, when secrets, and feeling are revealed everything changes.

"You know your exactly like ... Him" Violet whispered while looking around to see if anyone was listening. Which they were not. Getting frustrated I snapped, "look I told you and your friends to leave me alone, yeah I stood up for you guys one time so what. When I tell you to leave me alone, I'm not joking around. And I don't fucking care who this 'him' is, he's obviously not worth my time and neither are you!" I turned to leave while Violet just stood there with tears in her eyes. I don't care about her or 'him'. As I walked out of the cafeteria I noticed everyone stepping out of the way knowing I was beyond pissed. I heard a few murmurs here and there but nothing much, except when this guy said, " Violet was right, she's exactly like Cole." Oh so that's the mysterious bastards name. "Everyone keep in check , shits about to go down!" Ever so quickly I turned around and shouted "let's talk about how making me angry, will result in you having a bad day, so stay out of my way!" Then I turned around and left to go to the roof. -------- When a troubled girl from the south of England moves to California to get away from her horrific past she will discover new way of living.
