Chapter 1

"Are you sure you're going to be ok today?"

I looked at the front of the school with a faint smile and turned to my dad "Yeah, I think I'll manage. I mean it can't be that bad, it looks like my old school."

"You can do it Spence, you're not a little girl anymore. I'm sure you'll find your way and make friends in no time."

"Thanks dad" I smile and kiss him on the cheek before I head into my new school.

"Mrs. Jones, why did I get a call saying I needed to be here in the office before class started?"

"Ashley, you know last year when you pulled that little stunt with the fire alarm? Well, it had to be punished somehow."

"That was last year! Who knew you could get in trouble the last day of school?"

"Well, I think your punishment isn't that bad Ashley"

"Unless it's giving me a pass to go home I seriously doubt that."

"Listen, there is a new girl coming into the office any minute now and I have assigned you to help her out this first week of school."

"What? Can't I just get a detention or something? No offense but I don't handle new people well. I'm not into the whole making conversation thing"

"Ashley you will do this. Its nothing big, just show her to her classes, maybe eat lunch with her one day and just make her feel welcome."

"Sounds FUN."

"Oh look here she is now."

"Hi, Are you Mrs. Jones?"

"Why yes hunny, you must be Spencer Carlin"

"Yep. That's me"

"Well Spencer, this is Ashley Davies. She is going to help you out this week. Any questions you may have just ask her and she'll give you all the information."

"Oh ok, Hi I'm Spencer" I held my hand out for her to shake and suddenly felt small under her stare. After waiting a little longer then necessary I took back my hand

Knowing she wasn't going to shake it anytime soon. GREAT. Welcome to King High.

"What's your first class?"

I hesitated while I tried to figure out how my schedule went before answering, "Umm, Math with Mrs. Cook in room 303."

She tried to hide her eye roll as she started walking towards the door mumbling "Follow me, I have the same class."

I quickly caught up to her not getting to close as she led the way through the halls. This was going to be an interesting week.
