I was in 6th grade. I was moving to a new house, new town, and a new school. I had left my old life behind in Texas, to hopefully start a new one. I even changed my name, because of the nightmares that still haunt me...

Back at my old school, I was the nerd. Everyone liked to pick on me. Well I guess I could kinda see why... I had glasses that hid my blue eyes, put my messy black hair in a pony tail, and I usually wore ugly clothes.

Now I've decided to wear nicer stuff. Like what the girls in my class wore. I have contacts, and I keep my hair down.

It was May, so it was nice outside. It was also my first day of being at the new school.

I looked at my grandparents. My parents had died 2 years ago, no one knows why. So now I live with my grandparents until I'm old enough to move out.

"Bye Nana," I hugged my grandma. "Bye Papa." I hugged my grandpa. They hugged me back, and I took my backpack.

"You guys can go. I'm sure I can find my way," I said to them. They said goodbye and got into the car. They drove off, as I waved goodbye.

I turned to the school and sighed. I made my way through the front door, and looked and the paper with my school teachers on it. I had Mrs Glowa right now, so I hurried to the second floor, where the class room.

I made sure it was the right room, before walking in. Everyone was talking, and the teacher was at her desk. The first bell rang, and everyone hurried to they're seats. I stood at the front of the class, and Mrs Glowa looked up at me. She smiled, and walked up to me.

"Ah yes, you must be Skylar Roberts." She said, and extended her hand. I pulled my bag higher on my shoulder, and shook her hand.

"Class, this is Skylar." The teacher said, and motioned to me. Everything said hi's and hello's. I grinned shyly in return. "Let's introduce ourselves. Brianna, you may start us off." Mrs Glowa nodded to a girl in front.

She had dirty blonde hair and green eyes. She smiled, and sat up properly.

"I'm Brianna," She smirked at me. I controlled myself from rolling my eyes. I could tell I already didn't like her.

Next was a girl with pretty brown hair and brown eyes. She smiled nicely and politely at me.

"Hi Skylar, I'm Alexandra. It's nice to meet you," She continued to smile at me. I nodded once and smiled in reply. Then it went next to a boy with blonde hair and brown eyes. He looked kinda cute. He smiled flirty like at me and nodded up once.

"Names Alexander, but your free to call me Alex." Alexander and Alexandra? Is that just a coincidence? I giggled a bit, and smiled. He grinned at me.

After awhile, I knew everyone's name, and class started.

"Alright class, get a partner. We're going to do a new project! Get to know your partner, and then we will do a presentation it in front of the class. We need to know their age, birthday, height, eye color, hair color, their full name, and other details for example; their favourite game, color, etcetera. So, begin!" The teacher announced.

I gulped. I hated doing partner stuff, and doing presentations! I looked around and people were already together. I saw Brianna talking to Alexander. I managed to hear what they we're saying.

"So Alexander... wanna be partners?"

"Sorry Brianna, but I'm going with Alexa."

"Alexa? You mean that excuse for a human being over there?" Brianna pointed to Alexandra. My eyes widened, and Alexander's face turned a light red.

"Leave her alone Brianna. She's one of the best girls I've ever met, also my best friend. And I'd choose her over you any day." Alexander glared at her, and walked over to Alexandra. They smiled and started talking. Aww. They're cute together! I guess there goes my chance with Alexander.

About 3 minutes later, I was still at my desk, and I had no partner. I got up, and walked to Mrs Glowa's desk.

"Excuse me, Mrs Glowa? I don't have a partner." I said quietly. She looked up from some papers, and looked around the class. Suddenly a boy ran in with his backpack on his back still. He ran up to the desk, beside me.

"Sorry I'm late, Mrs G! My dad got lost on the way here. You know him, always forgetful!" He smiled and handed a late slip to the teacher. She smiled and took it.

"It's alright Jayden. We're starting a new project, and Skylar here needs a partner. Would you kindly be with her?" Mrs Glowa asked him. He looked at me and smiled. I knew I was already blushing.

"Sure!" He answered, and looked back at Mrs Glowa.

"Okay then. Skylar will explain to you what we have to do. Thank you both," Mrs Glowa said. I nodded, and Jayden walked away. I watched him, and he turned around. He smiled.

"We can go to your desk," He said. I nodded, and walked to my desk. I sat down, and he put his bag by a desk, I was assuming that was his. He came over, and took the chair that was at the desk beside me. He sat in front of my desk and stared at me.

"Okay, Skylar, what do we have to do?" He asked. I cleared my throat shyly, and looked down at my desk, feeling more blush creeping on my neck.

"Well, we have to get a partner and find out information about them. Like their age, full name, height, eye color, hair color, stuff like that..." I said quietly, still looked at my desk.

"Alright them. We're going to need some paper!" He exclaimed and stood up. I looked up.

"Um, I actually have some in my bag..." He smiled at me, and sat back down. I reached into my bag beside my desk, and pulled out 2 pieces of paper. I took out 2 pencils as well. I handed him a piece of paper, and a pencil.

"Okay, how about I write about you first?" He asked. I nodded. He grinned, and I felt my stomach starting to do butterflies. "What's your full name?"

"Skylar Lana Roberts," I answered. He nodded and wrote it down.

"How old are you?"

"11."

"When's your birthday?"

"June 19 1994."

"How tall are you?"

"No idea," I answered honestly. He looked up at me and laughed. He stood up.

"Well let's find out," He said, and took my hand. I felt myself blush. He pulled me to a cupboard in the class and opened it. He took out measuring tape, and measured me.

"You are... 4'9. Wow, I thought you looked tall." He smiled at me and I grinned shyly. We walked back to our seats, and sat down. He wrote down my height.

"Okay. What's your eye color?" He looked up and straight into my eyes. I knew I was blushing, but I ignored it. I had a blushing problem, okay?

"Some people say its teal, but others say blue... So I don't really know." I looked down at the desk, avoiding eye contact.

"Let's see. Look up," He ordered. I did as he said. He observed my eyes, and I felt really awkward and uncomfortable. "Yup, defiantly blue." He wrote it down. "And your hair is for sure black," he wrote it down too. "Alrighty! What's your favourite color?"

"Purple." I answered simply. He smiled.

"Okay, I think we're done. Now you do me!" He said, looking excited. I rolled my eyes playfully, and took my pencil and paper.

"Full name?" I asked.

"Jayden Steven Parker," He answered, and leaned back in his chair. I wrote down his name.

"Age?"

"12,"

"Birthday?"

"April 3rd 1994."

"Eye color?"

"Not sure."

I sighed at his answer. I didn't want to make eye contact, again. I looked up, and into his eyes. His eyes we're blue. They looked like an ocean. And then I noticed he was smirking. Probably because I was blushing... Again.

"Blue," I answered for him, and looked down at the paper. I wrote down "ocean blue" beside eye color.

"Hair color is brown, and height is 5'1." He said. I nodded, and wrote it down.

"Favourite color?" I asked.

"Pink." He answered, and stretched. I looked up at him.

"Pink?" I repeated. He looked at me and nodded.

"Yeah, is there anything wrong with pink?" He asked, looking really serious.

"No, it's just that I've never heard a guy say his fav color is pink. It's... different. In a good way." I said honestly. He grinned.

"Alright class, is everyone done?" Mrs Glowa asked, and stood up. Everyone nodded and said yeah. "Great! Presentation time!"

I felt my eyes go wide. Jayden looked at me.

"Are you alright Skylar?" He asked.

"Uh yeah I'm great...One thing you may want to add on your paper is: Skylar is terrified to do presentations." I said shakily.

"Come on you'll be fine!" He slapped my back before sitting down. I didn't even notice he stood up. "We can go last, okay?" I nodded.

"Who wants to go first?" Mrs Glowa asked the class from her desk.

"Us!" Jayden practically yelled, and waved his arms everywhere. I shot my head towards him.

"Jayden!" I hissed. He looked at me and frowned.

"Sorry... I'm a bit hyper sometimes." He shrugged. I face palmed.

"Great, Jayden and Skylar, go ahead!" Mrs Glowa smiled at us.

I sighed, and took my paper. Jayden grabbed his and we walked to the front of the class. Jayden went first.

"Okey dokey kids!" Jayden said in a clown ish voice. The class laughed, and I giggled.

"So this is Skylar Lana Roberts. She's 11, and she was born June 19 1994. She's 4'9, and her eyes are blue. Her hair is black and her favourite color is purple." Jayden bowed for affect, and some people laughed.

I grinned, and he backed up to where I was. I took a deep breath in, and walked up to the front of the class.

"That's Jayden Steven Parker, and he's 12. His birthday is May 3 1994. He's 5'1, and his hair color is brown. His eye color is," I looked down at my paper to read his eye color.

"Ocean blue," I said. I froze, feeling my face turning red. Everyone started laughing but I just continued. "And his favourite color is pink..."

I went to my seat immediately, and sat down. I slid down my chair from embarrassment. Jayden sat beside me, and he looked at me. He smiled and looked away. I slammed my face on my desk, and left it there the rest of the presentations.

It was finally the end of the day. I collected my stuff slowly, as everyone left the class, talking and laughing. I got my bag, and put it on my desk. I watched as Jayden put his stuff in his bag, and zipped it up. He walked out, and started talking with some friends.

I sighed quietly, and put my stuff in my bag. I slung my bag over one shoulder, and walked out of class. I saw Alexander by the water fountain with Alexandra. They we're talking and laughing.

Alexander spotted me, and motioned me to come over. So I walked over and Alexandra smiled at me.

"Hey Skylar," She said warmly. I smiled.

"Hi Alexandra," I said nicely. She laughed, and put a hand on my shoulder.

"Please, call me Alexa. It's way too confusing with this dude," She pointed to Alexander. "And I wouldn't want anyone to mistake me for the goofball!" I laughed.

"Alright, Alexa," I grinned at her and she smiled in return.

"And call me Alex." Alexander said.

"Okay then, Alex," I repeated. Alex and Alexa both smiled at me. "So are you two related? I mean, you guys almost have the same name."

"Me? Related to him?" Alexa burst out laughing.

"There's no way I'm related to her. We're just friends. When our mom's we're pregnant with us, they we're best friends." Alex said.

"So, they decided to name their kids almost the same thing!" Alexa interrupted. I nodded.

"Now, we're best friends." Alex smiled at Alexa. She smiled and rolled her eyes at him.

"You're always welcome with us, Sky." Alexa said and smiled at me. Hmm... Sky. I like that name. No one's ever called me it before. I smiled huge.

"Thanks. It's always nice to have friends on your first day of school," I said.

"Yeah... well, we should get going. Alex's mom is picking us up for a play date." Alexa said. Alex slapped her arm, gently though.

"Stop calling it a play date! It's a hang out!" Alex complained. Alexa laughed, and started dragging him away. I giggled as I watched them.

"Bye Sky!" Alexa yelled, and waved at me.

"Yeah, see yeah!" Alex yelled. I waved back at them.

"Bye Alex! Bye Alexa!" I yelled back. They waved, and walked through the doors to the stairs.

I turned, smiling and happy. Alex seemed pretty cool. Like the type I would date. But I can't have competition against Alexa. I can see them together... I sighed aloud.

I walked to the other doors, which led to the parking lot. I walked down the stairs, and saw Brianna and some other girls and boys from my class.

"Pretty, ocean eyes!" They joked and made fun of me. I ignored them, and pushed through the doors. I found my grandparents car in the parking lot. I got in, and did my seat belt up. My grandpa pulled out of the parking lot, and started driving towards our house.

"How was your first day, Lana?" My Nana asked. Yeah, my grandparents call me by my middle name.

"It was good." I answered, and looked out the window. I couldn't help but think about Alex's charm, and Jayden's personality. Both were just so... perfect!

We arrived home, and I went straight to my room. I went on my laptop, and checked Facebook. I had 3 new friend requests. It was from Alex, Alexa, and Jayden? I accepted all the friend requests, and went to most recent. I wanted to see what would happen. If Alex or Jayden would talk about me as their statuses.

All of a sudden, a chat box popped up. It was from Jayden Parker.

Hey skylar (:

I stared at it, panicking. What do I say? Hi. Hello. Hey. Or how about 2 y's to make it seem like I didn't do it on purpose? No, 3's better. Wait, that's too obvious! GAH!
