Sarah's POV

High school is where romance happens, everyone gets along and we all sing Kumbaya right?

WRONG.

High school is a place where friendships get broken, trust is misplaced, drama starts and guess what? Most of us don't get along, let alone talk to each other. We're all caught up in this thing called life to worry about other people.

So when I walk down the same hallways everyday, I never look up.  There's always going to be someone who will ruin your entire day right around the corner and for me, that person is Stephanie Rivera aka. the school slut, not forgetting her sidekick CeCe Daniels.

The two act like they run the school and anyone who thinks that they can stand up to them gets hurt. They only think they're all that cause their parents are on the school board and help with funds so yeah, they're rich too.

I walk to my locker and put in my combination opening it, tossing my text books inside.

Just then, my best friend approaches me smiling like he just won the lottery.

Let me introduce you to my best friend since childhood, Liam Vice. We both went to kindergarten together and that's where we met. Liam's 18 and I'm 16 which kind of makes him feel like he's the boss of me cause he's older. Anyways we've made it through middle school and here we are in high school.

"What's up?" He asks eyeing me up and down, "and what the heck are you wearing?"

I roll my eyes. I was aware that I looked like I belong at a rummage sale. This morning I barely had time to get ready at the risk of being late and getting a detention. I threw on a black cami top and black sweatpants and I threw on a black hoodie which probably makes me look goth but whatever at least I made it right?

The bell rang and I slammed my locker door shut and headed down the hall to math class with Mr. Grayson leaving Liam there.

I entered the classroom and took a seat at the back so I wouldn't get noticed. I hate math. Why do we have to do this again? It's mental abuse to humans.

A lot of students came in after me and rushed to their seats knowing if Mr. Grayson came in and they weren't seated it was an automatic detention. Yep what an uptight douchebag.

Just then, Mr. Grayson walked in and scanned the classroom clearing his throat, "Good let's begin."

After 45 minutes of his boring lecture the bell finally rang signaling the end of the period. Everyone scrambled out into the hallway again, rushing about getting their books for the next class.

I walked down the right hall to my next class and saw Stephanie and Dirk Adams standing by the door. I could hear Stephanie's obnoxious, squeaky voice from where I stood, which wasn't that far away. I didn't care what they were talking about honestly but I knew for sure Dirk was only interested because he wanted a good lay.

Ha, he might even catch an STD while he's at it.

Dirk Adams was one of the many popular kids at this school that was known for his irresistible charm and good looks but to me, all I saw was a goat trying to model. Dirk is also one of the many guys at this school who screwed around with half of the female population so he's right around there with Stephanie who has most definitely screwed any guy with a d***

Now that I think about it, they're absolutely perfect for each other.

I scoffed and pushed past them and got inside the classroom successfully and sat down in the front row. English was my favourite class because the teacher was really nice and because it's my favourite subject obviously.

I hummed 'Attention' by Charlie Puth to pass the time. That song is my favourite at the moment but with me, I can't stick to just one song because there will always be another one I'm obsessed with so I change it every few days.

I know I'm weird. Tell me something I don't know.

Stephanie turned to glare at me but I paid her no mind and continued to hum.

The bell rung and everyone got to their seats and waited for the teacher. Stephanie surprisingly sat next to me. She never does that. To her I'm just a piece of filth roaming the school and she makes everyone around her believe it too.

"Rodriguez don't you ever do that again or you'll regret it." Stephanie threatened.

Such an empty threat.

She knows she can't do anything like that without her father finding out.

"Sure whatever."

The teacher walked in and started talking immediately apologizing for being a bit late then started the lesson.

I paid attention to every word coming out of his mouth to make sure I didn't miss anything and scribbled quickly into my notebook.

I didn't listen to Stephanie's distracting voice trying to flirt with Dirk who was right beside her, or the girl next to me who's clicking her pen on and off continuously.

Yes I'm that dedicated. This is the one subject I really don't want to fail ever. In the 11th grade, this stuff really does matter.

The teacher gave us 10 questions to answer and in 7 minutes I was finished. I relaxed for the rest of the class and took down the homework that was assigned.

The bell rung again 30 minutes later and I got ready to leave.

"Ms. Rodriguez?" The teacher called.

"Yes?"

"I noticed you finished the work a lot earlier than your classmates did. Your English grades are always fluent A's and if you keep it up by the end of the year you'll be going on the Honour Roll."

I internally screamed.

Only the best get chosen to be put on the honour roll. It was divided into different sections for different subjects. Students and others who see this know you accomplished something great. I never had the thought of it before because I didn't think I would get there but now I'm sky high.

I bit my tongue from squealing out loud.

"Thank you sir." I nodded and left.

I've got to tell Liam this. Oh he'd be so ecstatic.

Or maybe laugh and call me a nerd.

You just never know with Liam Vice. His mood swings are something I have to deal with everyday.

Liam and I went to a diner for a light snack once and he ordered a chicken sandwich but the waitress accidentally got him a fish sandwich instead and he threw a fuss like a big baby. Yup, that's my best friend.

I run down the different hallways looking for Liam but I didn't find him anywhere.

Where could he be?

There's only one more hallway to check but no one really uses this one.

I still move to see just to make sure before I call his mom and freak out. Yes I'm such a worried best friend. The longest we've been separated ever since we met is the 45 minutes during class and sometimes overnight because we sleep over most of the time. Some people may find it weird or immediately assume we're a thing and screwing each other but what's the problem if two people are comfortable with each other?

I turn down the hallway and take a slight peak.

Nope not there.

WAIT.

Is that?

No.....

"What the hell is going on here?" I meant to whisper but the two persons eyes snapped to me immediately, one with a shocked expression and the other with a smirk.

Whoops.
