So you think you know high school? With all of its stories about stereotypes, anti-bullying, and the apparent "times of our lives".

You're dead wrong. Except for the stereotypes. They always exist, everywhere.

Hi. I'm Devin, Devin Alexander Cala. I'm the artist and actor of our group. I have three friends, Harper, the band geek and writer, and arguably the smartest girl in 11th grade. JJ, or Jay, the attractive sassy head of the cheerleading squad, and my girlfriend. and Nico, the captain of the football team and the biggest food whore I've ever met.

We've been inseparable since we were kids, and we've never known any else as a friend. So if Harper's my friend, why is it so hard for me to get the image of us dating out of my head? She's just my friend. 

That's all she'll ever be.

When my father left my mother and me for a better life, I was devastated and naively thought my life couldn't get any worse. How wrong I was. My new stepfather decided he was entitled to my body, and my mother became an alcoholic who did her best to ignore my existence. My only solace in life was my younger twin stepsisters and my best friend, Dane. Over time, Dane and I became more than friends; he knew my deepest, darkest secrets, and I knew his. When I turned sixteen, I couldn't stand my stepfather's abuse any longer, so I reached out to my father and begged him to take me in. Overnight I went from sleeping in a putrid-smelling, cramped trailer to living in a mansion. It was there that I met the devil himself. Disguised as my new, breath-taking stepbrother, Ryder. Ryder and his three best friends, Saint, West and Lawson turned my world upside down. At first, they possessively loved and adored me; unfortunately, that all changed the night of my junior prom, where my life went from bad to worse. The four boys I had grown to trust with my secrets and body turned on me when the queen bitch of the school shared a video with them. Now my only allies in life are Dane and a sweetheart named Matt, who is willing to take any beating my stepbrother and his friends give him to stay at my side. Life had always handed me lemons; was I strong enough to turn those bitches into lemonade? Trigger warnings: Dub/Con, Non/Con, SA, Drug use, Self harm, Murder.

Band aids were always a must have when we were kids. Whether it was the time you tripped while skipping rope, or fell off the monkey bars, or got into one of those fights with the local bully, "No, that won't do" "What are you talking about, it sounds great so far! It's a lot better than what I can do." "This college essay has absolutely no direction". "Well, why are you telling me to come read it so far? Can't you just ask Josh- I mean, he's smart-" He shot up from his desk. "You know I can't do that!" "Oh yeah. Right, sorry. Look, why don't you ask him out already". Noah blushed furiously. I can't do that. What if he's not... you know... into guys? A-and we're already good friends, I don't want to risk our friendship over this. I saw what he meant. He stopped writing and looked up at me. I asked him, "Would you spend the rest of your life with him?" He sighed and put his hand over his heart. "Of course I would. He means everything to me". "Well, I know you'll take good care of him. Just try to ask him out to the dance. He paused, and smiled. "You know what, maybe I will. Thanks Sadie". "No problemo,'' I grinned. As I turned to leave, he stopped me. "And who might you ask out to the dance?" --- Sadie Hawkins is your average tomboy soccer girl. Her best friend Noah is a good student and a bit of a nerd. As the day of the school dance draws nearer, they are more pressured to ask out the people they like. But what happens if the people they like happen to be their closest friends?

You know what it's like when your in high school. You have your circle of friends. Sometimes looked down upon by the populars and all that. Then you have the major crush. The most popular boy in school. The one that if you talked to you, you either break down or get looked at. It's all about how other's think about you. It's your label. So what's Sydney's? JUST READ THE PROLOGUE, I THINK IT IS BETTER THAN MY DESCRIPTION ***This was written ages ago (as tagged by my year of completion) this was pre-my shit is sort of together. This is a mess. I'm talking about three paragraph long chapters and barely makes sense plot. I don't have the heart to take it down since it was the very first thing I ever posted here nor do I have the sanity and determination to redo it. Nothing has been done to this story since it was first written except this notice was added. Read at your own risk. [ 2012 ]
