Because news travels fast in a town, and hearing that yet again there was a new kid moved in was a surprise. They all expected there to be no new kids their age this year, and actually that's what they had hoped. Because of this, almost immediately they decided just to make her another student. Maybe she just wouldn't have any friends, and would be down at the bottom of the same food chain that everyone works so hard to climb up. But all this didn't hurt them, after all she was probably just another loser. Then again, even a loser can be a hero. In this case, that's exactly what Ace Jones wanted to be. Although, no one would suspect it just by looking at her. She would always stare out of the window in the back of the class, dreaming about a life far away from where they were now. Class would pass faster for her, and honestly she was glad for that. Although, she was close to failing for lack of attention she would pay in class. It didn't really matter for her, because in her mind she was a hero, popular, and everyone liked her. It was a sad and cruel thought that really she wasn't well liked, and even less so popular. That might also be due to the fact she came to homeroom fifteen minutes late and tripped. It was a bad start for her, and ruined everything she hoped would happen for her. It didn't matter for Ace anymore. For she knew that no matter what she would achieve it.
And maybe she would do just that.

The Beginning
Part 1.
Mrs. Johnson stood at the front of the class room, her lips were pressed tightly together while her eyes were scouring the room. "Settle down, settle down. The bell is about to ring in a few minutes but I have an announcement to make first. We will be start a project tomorrow and I will assign partners," she said and resulted in more than a few groans from their class. "Yes, yes. I know that you don't think it's very fair. But I don't think you being disrespectful and rude would get you to pick who you work with. Maybe next time you can pick-" The bell interrupted her lecture and the class was finally free to go to lunch. Everyone picked up their stuff and got ready to walk to their lockers. Ace decided that she too needed to leave. However, she was stopped by who put a hand on her shoulder and made her turn around. "Acelynn-"
"It's Ace."
"Right, Ace. Well, I know that you're new but you still need to pay attention in class. I really don't want to fail you, but I will if I have to." She said, her voice was snobby and even her stance seemed uptight. This made Ace very uncomfortable so she just nodded and went on her way. The only thought that really went through her mind was to hurry and put her stuff up then go to the cafeteria. She owned locker number 116 which was right down the hall from her science class. Ace walked down to her locked and opened it quickly in hope that Bebe Stevens had already put away her stuff. It was really too bad that it didn't turn out like it usually did, which just so happens to be very badly. And much to her disappointment, Bebe walked right up to her. She crinkled her nose and sighed.
"Get out of my way, new kid.," She sneered, and opened her locker. Ace stepped back and looked at her. Of course she was gorgeous and popular, and Ace couldn't ever figure out what to do with her. One day she'll stand up to her though, and that idea drove her forward everyday.
"Yeah, sorry." She closed her locker and walked on to the cafeteria.
As usual the cafeteria was rather crowded except for two table in which people who had no friends would be scattered about. Among them was of course, Ace. She sat near the the back wall where she could watch all the others having fun without her. It's not like she was jealous or anything for she would try to convince herself that she was too awesome for friends. But this was just a weak attempt to make her feel better. Sometimes it would work, but usually it wouldn't. Ace's eyes looked straight down the table to see the same guy she seems every time sitting there. Like herself, he didn't get any food. Maybe he was also embarrassed to eat alone, but that wasn't highly likely. She thought his name was Craig Tucker, but wasn't very certain. She thought he was in a few of her classes, but rarely pays attention. Because usually he's with another guy that she thought was named Kenny McCormick and sometimes Kenny would sit across from Craig at lunch. But usually he wasn't even at school. But when he did Ace would usually see him walking up to the school. They were both poor and lived on the bad side of town. However, Kenny was far worse off than she was.
Ace had been tempted to go up to him ever since she moved in, for some reason she had a feeling that they had to be friends. It was weird, but eventually she'd work up the nerve to either make him hate her or be friends with her. Either way she was determined to be his friend, or not be able to stand him for the rest of her natural life. Today Kenny was there and he walked straight up to Craig and sat down. However, Craig for some reason didn't seem too happy. Then again he never really seemed to be happy. Ace for one has never even seemed him smile once. To counter that, Kenny always smiled. He was actually pretty attractive but she heard that whenever he dated someone he tried to have sex with them. Due to that fact he didn't really ever get girlfriends. It was too bad, and his reputation was already ruined before high school. Maybe Ace would become friends with him too and they could walk to school together. After all, she was usually terrified walking to school and back because her neighborhood was exactly what it was called; bad.
Kenny looked over at where Ace was sitting and saw her looking over at them. He raised an eyebrow and quickly Ace turned away to the table on the other side of the one they where sitting at. One that table there was only about four people. A girl named Lily Spynx who she recognized from her science class. She was always answering questions and never really talked. She was probably just as awkward as Ace was. Kal Ferguson also sat about just a bit down from her, and her eyes were puffy as she slowly drank from a water bottle. But Ace didn't pay much attention to her. Further down the table sat Litzy Wellz and Kevin Stoley. They were easily called geeks, and she had heard a lot about the other students here and herself. It was all because her locker was right beside Bebe's and usually they would just ignore her and pretty much talk about her directly. Only once or twice has she let herself cry in the bathroom. Usually she would just suck it up and go to class with hope that she could avoid Bebe for the rest of the day.
Nothing Bebe and a friend of hers named Abriella. They all just simply refused to leave anyone alone. They were the blonde duo of absolutely annoying shenanigans, and most of them involved humiliating one of the kids on the lower tiers. In many cases this included Litzy, Lily, and or Ace. However, it wasn't exactly possible to bond over something like being the schools biggest losers. Ace was fairly sure that Craig and Kenny were at the bottom with them. She wondered if there was actually a list of who was at the top and who was at the bottom. Everyone knew that Bebe, Abriella, and Wendy were at the top. There didn't need to be a list for the whole school to know that. Everyone was too scared to deny them because of fear that they would do something. Hopefully they wouldn't be all that intimidating after they finish middle school this year and move onto high school. Even more so Ace hoped that she would move, even if that chance was high unlikely.
The rest of the day passed rather quickly, and Ace didn't have as much problem with Bebe and the others as much as she thought she would have thought. Eventually it was the end of the day and she was already set on her way out of the school. It was required of her to leave before Kenny did every day. She really didn't want to walk with him most of the time for fear that she'll mess something up and he too will hate her. Today though, was not her lucky day. Kenny ran up to her while she had just left the school. He grinned and grabbed the back of her book bag. "Hey new kid."
"I have a name."
"Well, sorry. I have a name too, . Here, I'm Kenny." His grin faltered to a small smile. Unlike what Ace had expected he didn't seem to be hitting on her or anything. At least that's what she hoped.
"I'm Ace." She returned his smile with one of her own. He simply nodded and looked ahead.
"So, you live a house down from me, right?" This was really different from what she would have expected. Maybe he was just being nice to her because it was obvious she didn't have any friends.
"I guess I do."
"You're really awkward, y'know that?"
"Actually, dickwad, I'm not that awkward. It's the simple fact that maybe I'm just not very well liked and pretty much expect you to hate me already. And if you don't, you should appreciate me as a leader. Or at least as batman." Kenny nodded, he was listening to her and didn't really seem to judge her very much. But when she had mentioned batman he snickered.
"Well, Ace, I guess I'm going to have to appreciate you as a leader then. Because it's obvious you don't have many friends and-"
"If you're trying to get in my pants I swear I'll.."
"Oh, you've heard the rumors." He shrugged. "I'm actually not that bad unless I see them as someone who's no better than a good ole' fuck. But listen, you can hang out with me and Craig if you don't have anyone else." Kenny smirked, knowing that she couldn't really refuse considering Ace didn't have anyone else. Actually, pretty much everyone else thought she was rather odd.
"Are you sure you aren't just pitying me? Because holy fuck I don't want anyone's pity."Ace sighed and looked straight ahead. Kenny looked down at her. He was actually very amused by her, and maybe she would be just a bit different than everyone else. But based on her introduction he was fairly certain of this. He just nodded and laughed a bit.
"Yeah, I'm sure. If anything, you should pity me seeing as I'm poorer than you. Oh, and I'm also at the lowest tier so I think we're in the same boat here, Ace." She sighed and looked up at him. Maybe it wouldn't hurt to befriend him even if everyone in the school are going to think they're fuck buddies. Which hopefully won't happen because she does not want anyone figuring out she's not a virgin. Even more so the asshole she was talking to now.
"Alright, fine. I'll think about sitting with you guys."
"Cool." With that said they walked the rest of the way in silence before going their separate ways. Above all she was amused by the first person who's been nice to her at school. Well, not counting Red Tucker who showed her around the school and proceeded to ditch her after wards. Things just weren't looking up for her, and she really wasn't looking forward to going home. Ace had a bad time with her family, and she really loathed the end of 8th grade. Her older brother, James, was to go to college on a scholarship. He was the only one in her family that lived with her that she could actually stand. She did have a younger sister though, but she was taller than most of them. Her mom was about 6'3" and her dad was about 5"7. They met each other in Ireland where her dad lived when her mom was visiting. A few years later they got married and moved to Colorado. That's where Ace and her siblings were born, and oddly enough Ace ended up getting her dad's looks. Green eyes and dark brown hair while being really short. That really bothered her more than anything and whenever anyone said anything about it, it would really get to her. Speaking of her dad, she liked him the best. Although she isn't living with them because her mom won custody much to her distaste.
Her younger sister, who was actually really smart (and a lot smarter than Ace) sat at their table reading a book. A small phone sat next to her and it was ringing quite a bit. She had always gotten guys to like her really easily. After all she was smart, very social, and could be nice if she wanted too. It was true that she looked like a mix of her mom and dad and like Ace, got her father's dark curly hair. Yet, her eyes were a deep brown much like her mothers. It was also annoying how she would make fun of Ace for being shorter than her and 4 years older at the same time. All in all, they did not get along even though when her parents got a divorce Ace and Zaire comforted each other because James had been out with his friends. When he had found out, James was a lot calmer than them.
Ace didn't get along with her mom due to blaming her mother for the divorce. For them going bankrupt, and for her to never getting to see her father anymore. Ever since the divorce everything was a down spiral from there. Her grades got worse as her attitude followed. She began acting out to get her parents attention. But her mom and her kept fighting even more so when she gets drunk. One thing led to another and they ended up moving to south park in attempt to keep a house. Sadly, even here her mom could barely keep a job and Ace ended up having no friends.
"Hey Ace," Zaire looked up at her with big brown eyes. Ace had to admit that she was pretty cute for a fifth grader. But unlike Ace she wasn't insecure and knew that she was pretty. "James is at Aly's house."
"Okay," She simply responded and headed to her room. Right now Ace wasn't in the mood for talking even more so with her younger sibling. Her room was a plain white, and most of the boxes weren't unpacked. The only one that was, was the one filled with her clothes and necessary things she needed throughout the day. Sooner or later she would get around to unpacking everything. But right now wasn't the time. All she wanted to do was sleep and get away from the world that she lives in. Maybe there she can actually be a hero and be wanted.
Ace pulled out her homework and began reading the story for her English homework. She looked at the first problem and stared at it for a good minute.
"Do you think you have what it takes to be the protagonist in your own story?"
She cleared her vision and looked at it again. "In this story, who is the protagonist?"Ace gave a sigh of relief and went back to work. It was kind of weird to her that this was happening. Maybe she was just tired and needed to go to sleep. Maybe that wasn't a bad idea, besides, her homework could wait.
Hey, so this is a story about my OC Ace. Now if you don't like OCs then I would like to ask why're you're reading this. Because flaming someone because you don't like OCs is really fucking immature. that's all I would like to say. ANYWAYS. There are more than just my OCs, there are a few of my friend's OCs too. Also, this is a series. This one is the starts and the last story will be in 12th grade. I really hope you enjoyed this and review. Because it really makes my day and motivates me to write.(:
