Alexa POV (Might have some Cammie and Zach POV's as well)
My name is Alexa Josie-Rachel Soloman, I am 16 years old. When I was 14 my dad sent me away from my home because he thought it was unsafe. I lost contact with him 2 months after, when he became a teacher at God knows where.
Nobody knows I exist, I'm a ghost. I have a different name each week, a new passport and home. I'll be on the run for the rest of my life because if I stop running, they'll get me. The Circle.
I am now on day 167 of this name, this life, my longest lasting legend.
Name: Kellie Maia Rivers
School: Roseville High
Religion: Christian
Hair: Black
Eyes: Blue (Because I actually have to dye my hair - though it is better than a wig - and wear contacts)
I am beginning to like it here, I've even made the odd friend or two, Deedee and Josh. I know I can't stay here, I'm surprised I've lasted this long to tell you the truth but it can get lonely sometimes. It's lonely all the time.
I only have one friend I truly trust and his name is Zachary Goode. I met him a year ago by a detention school called Blackthorne institute for boys, it turns out it was a spy school. One my dad went to. He comes to visit me sometimes, Zach, cures me of my boredom. He's the only on I can speak to without lying. But he doesn't speak to me without lying, the whereabouts of my dad remain off limits to me apparently.
"Kellie!" I snapped the journal shut and sat up off my bed. "Kellie!" My foster mum called again angrily. I rolled my eyes and flung open my white door. She was standing outside. "Your going to be late for school." She shoved my school back into my hands. "Go" She pointed to the door. I bit back a come back and lef, slamming the door behind me.
It was a hot sunny day out and I had to shield my sea blue eyes from the glare of the sun. I flicked my glossy dyed black hair out of my face and walked to school.
"Josh!" I waved as I neared the gates. He was leaning on the wall, hands in his pockets. Josh waved when he saw me and began to walk up.
"Hey, beginning to think you weren't going to show." He sounded worried and concerned. Because sometimes I didn't come to school, I'd just sit in a tall tree outside Gallagher academy and think, there's something about that school that I like, something familiar.
"Of course I'd come today." I smiled. "Why'd I miss the day of Deedee's big presentation?" He grinned.
"Thought you'd forgotten." I laughed a little.
"Joshua Abrams, are you accusing me of being a lousy friend?" He shrugged and I elbowed him in the arm.
"No." Josh said seriously. "I wouldn't." And I believed him.
The bell went and we headed off to class. PE. My favourite (no sarcasm)
Deedee was waiting for me by the changing rooms. I high fived her and we went to get ready for PE.
Outside on the tennis courts it was far to hot. My hair was sticking to my face and the racket kept slipping out of my sweaty hands. "Serve!" Deedee shouted and lobbed the ball at me. Sweaty or not, I never miss. I launched it back to her and we started a rally. Miss eventually blew the whistle and called us in.
Rebecca, another pupil, turned to me and Deedee and whispered. "Hey, I hear the snobby girls are coming out to town tonight after school, you coming?" Deedee nodded and so did I. I'd wanted to meet them. With a smile on our faces we headed to maths.

Skinny jeans, check. Cute tight green t-shirt, check. Short jean jacket, check. Mascara and lipstick, check. High heel black boots, check. Hair in a plate, check. (You get the picture.)
I grabbed my shiny black hand bag and headed out to town, waving a quick bye to Daisy, my foster mother, and her partner Stu.
Deedee and Josh were waiting for me outside in his truck, but Josh looked slightly uneasy.
"S'up?" I asked as I climbed into my seat.
"My old girlfriend Cammie's a Gallagher Girl, what if I see her?" He complained. Deedee elbowed him in the ribs and I rolled my eyes.
"Wuss." I whispered.
"What Kellie means is that she's with that Zach guy now. She's not going to be awkward." The words stung, it could have been another Zach but I had a feeling, and my feelings are usually right, (89% correct to be exact). That and he told me he knew a few Gallagher Girls, one was called Cammie.
I buckled down in my seat and Josh drove to town, we all sat in silence. I got to properly look at my two new friends. They weren't spies, I was sure of that, or part of the circle. Deedee was wearing a long sleeved light pink flowery shirt with black leggings. Her shoes were dark pink high heeled boots, the same as mine. She'd also taken her time with her hair and make-up by the looks of it. Josh, however, wasn't quite so nicely dressed, he wore dark mustard cargo pants and a black t-shirt that said Metallica on it. His shoes were simple, worn black trainers. And he'd definitely not taken any time on his hair.
For 10 minutes we sat in silence and I thought. Who were the Gallagher Girls? Why was I so drawn to their school? But sadly the thoughts had to end because Josh stopped the car suddenly and put it in park.
I got out, a smile on my face. Now I'd finally meet them.
A/N: Will try to update weekly if anyone cares
