Now here we are, so close yet so far, how did I pass the test?
When will you realise? Baby I'm not like the rest
Don't wanna break your heart, wanna give your heart a break-

I slammed my hand on top of the radio, in an attempt to shut it off. I threw the sheets back over my head and tried to go back to sleep. Of course, it wasn't going to happen, because almost immediately after I shut it off, my door flew open revealing my mother,
'Freddie-bear! You'll be late!' she exclaimed, 'Come on, up, up, up!'
'Yeah, I was just getting up mom' I groaned out from under the sheets,
'Well, hurry up! You don't want to be late!' she said, heading toward the door, 'Pancakes are on the table' she smiled, before she closed the door. I groaned and got up. I grabbed my glasses of the side, as I needed to get more contacts due to me losing them and I ran my hand through my hair and grabbed some jeans and a shirt to wear and went into the bathroom. I quickly jumped in the shower before I'd go out for breakfast. I washed my hair and pulled a brush through it before I got dressed. I stepped out in to the sitting room and, sure enough, there was my mom sitting at the table with an enormous stack of pancakes in front of her. I rolled my eyes,
'Morning mom' I said, kissing her on the cheek,
'Morning my little Freddie-bear' she smiled,
'Mom! What have we said about that name?' I asked,
'I know, I know, sorry' she said. I laughed and grabbed a pancake from the pile and started putting my toppings on, orange, etc, 'So, big day today' my mom commented. I raised my eyebrow, not sure what she was talking about, 'Science project due in?' she asked, jogging my memory,
'Oh, right' I nodded. I looked at my watch, 'Speaking of which I better get going' I said, putting the last of my pancake in my mouth and grabbing my bag off the couch,
'See you later, mom' I said, going out the door,
'Ah! Freddie-bear?' she asked. I sighed and went to hug her,
'Have a good day at school, sweetie' she smiled, 'And don't let any other kids pick on you this time' I rolled my eyes,
'See you later mom' I said, turning to the door. I shut it behind me dreading what was to come. Another day in hell.

-wanna give your heart a break, I know you're scared it's wrong, like you might make a mistake ,
there's just one life to live, and there's no time to wait, to waste-

I shut my alarm off and got up for school. I stretched my arms and picked up my outfit that I'd set out the day before. I slipped it on before tying up my hair in a ponytail, (I'd straightened it after I'd had a shower last night) and put my make up on. My make up took about twenty minutes after which I was made to be late. I quickly grabbed my matching shoulder bag and sneaked a look out the door. No one was in the hall so I made my way downstairs to find that no one was up yet. I opened a kitchen cupboard and grabbed a cereal bar. I then reached for my car keys on the side and set out of the door. My house from the outside looked like a total mansion, so I wasn't bothered about bringing people like my friends, or my boyfriend for the week over, when my parents are out of course. I got in my car and drove to pick up Carly. I loved going to school. Not just because it got me out of the house and away from my parents, but because everyone loved me there. They listened to me and did what I told them. All the teachers loved me and I could get away with anything. Another day in paradise.

I walked out the door of Bushwell plaza and saw Carly waiting outside, presumably for her lift she gets every morning with another girl at school,
'Hey Carly' I greeted,
'Hey Freddie' she smiled,
'Waiting for a ride?' I asked,
'Yeah, I'd offer you one, but I'm not sure-' she started,
'She thinks I'm a dork and hates me' I finished for her, 'I get it' I smiled,
'I wouldn't say hate' she said, 'She just doesn't really know you' she said, as her ride pulled up. It was a red sports car with the number plate Princess on it. The girl who was giving her a lift was Samantha Puckett. She was sitting in the front with a pair of black shades on and her hair, now cascading down her shoulders, seeing as she took it down when she arrived. I scoffed, could it be more stereotypical? Rich, popular girl who looks down on everyone else. I sighed and started walking to school.

I got to school ten minutes late and ran to my class,
'I'm sorry, I'm late sir-' I started,
'Freddie, you know we don't tolerate tardiness in this school' he said, 'Detention after school' I sighed and sat down. Minutes later, Samantha Puckett came in,
'I'm so sorry I'm late sir' she said. How was she late? She left the same time as me and she was driving...'I forgot something at home and had to turn back' she said,
'That's alright Samantha, just sit down' the teacher said. What? Oh my god. I'm getting so tired of this now, that's three times this week she's come in late and not got a detention and I have and I do. It's bullshit! I sighed and started to make notes. I looked over at Samantha and she was painting her nails. In class? How does she not get told off for that? I sighed and continued making my notes.

SPOV
I was in line to get my lunch when Carly dropped the bombshell that she was dating my ex,
'What?' I exclaimed,
'Um-I asked if it would be okay to date Shane' she repeated. Okay, maybe not going out with him yet,
'Why would you wanna date him?' I asked, disgustedly,
'Well, he's cute and I think he likes me' she said, 'Like the other day he told me that-'
'Fine, You can have him' I said, 'I'm done with him'
'Really?' she asked,
'Yeah, been there, done that' I said,
'Ok, thanks' she said. I grabbed a plate of bread off the counter and put it on my tray,
'Oh,' I said, picking it up again, 'Do you want this?' I asked, 'You seem to want all my left over's' I said, then threw it on her tray, 'Too much carbs' I said, as I walked past her to our table. I sat down and started eating my salad,
'Hey babe' Jake said, sitting next to me and kissing my neck,
'Hey baby' I said putting down my fork and kissing him on the lips. He kissed back until Carly and Becca sat down,
'Hey, Bex where you been? I haven't seen you all day' I commented, eating some more of my salad,
'I've been with Brad' she said,
'Oh my god, what were you doing?' I asked, smiling,
'Well, we were under the bleachers and we made out for a while and then we did more' she smiled,
'Oh my god, you slut!' I exclaimed. She laughed along,
'Not as bad as you' she said,
'Shut up!' I protested. Just then Riley came over with Beth and Jo,
'Hey Sam?' Riley asked,
'Yeah?' I asked,
'Mr. Johnson wants to see you in his office' she said,
'Ugh, what does he want?' I groaned whilst standing up. I grabbed my bag and grabbed the rest of my lunch and slid it over to Carly, 'You can have that' I told her and started walking over to Johnson's room. Hopefully, now she'll think twice about trying to date one of my ex's. I knocked on Johnson's door,
'Yes?' I heard his voice come from inside. I straightened my outfit out before I went in, and adjusted my bra. What? I may have to do a bit of flirting...
'My friend said you wanted to see me?' I asked,
'Yes' he replied, 'take a seat' he said gesturing to the seat opposite his desk, 'Listen-' he started when I'd sat down, 'I've been grading some of the classes papers and-' Uh ho, not a good start, '-and your paper and the past papers that you've done don't seem up you potential' he said,
'So...' I said, not getting the point,
'Look, Samantha, long story short, if you don't get your grades up then you can be thrown off this course' he finished,
'Wh-what?' I exclaimed, 'I've been working my ass off for this!'
'I suggest you try and put more effort into your studies' he said,
'I put a lot of effort into my studies-' I started,
'Painting your nails in class, is not putting a lot of effort in' he said,
'Well, what am I supposed to do?' I exclaimed,
'Well, actually' he said, getting out a piece of paper, 'I've arranged for you to have a tutor' he said, holding out the paper,
'A tutor?' I asked, 'What you mean like one of those sweaty old guys who couldn't make it as teachers?' I asked,
'Actually, this is one of your fellow classmates' Oh god, what kind of loser did I get stuck with?
'Actually sir, I don't need any tutoring' I said, standing up, 'I'll just drop the course' I said, turning to walk out the door,
'You drop this course and you'll be expelled' he said. I turned around, mouth gaping,
'What?' I asked,
'If you drop this course or indeed, get thrown out of it, you will not be doing enough qualifications to finish and you'll have to drop out' he explained. I groaned and walked toward him, snatching the piece of paper,
'What dork did I get stuck with?' I asked, scanning the paper,
'Fredward Benson' Johnson replied. I looked up at him blankly,
'Never heard of 'im' I said,
'Fredward is our top students in the class and he has so kindly agreed to tutor you to-'
'Fredward?' I scoffed, 'Sounds like a dork to me'
'Samantha!' Johnson scolded,
'So, who is he?' I asked,
'Fredward Benson' he repeated, 'He sits behind you in class' he prompted me. I shook my head, still not any recollection of him what so ever. He shook his head, 'Never mind' he gave up, 'Just meet him in the study hall and lunch time tomorrow' he told me,
'Will do' I said, walking out and slamming the door behind me. How dare he tell me that I need a tutor? I don't need a tutor, especially some dorky, brown-nosed kid. I sighed and saw that Jake was waiting for me by my locker. I smiled as I approached him,
'Hey baby' I greeted, before pulling him in for a kiss. We made out for a few minutes before the bell, signalling lessons went off.

I got in the car with Carly and Becca after school,
'Wanna go shopping?' I asked,
'Yeah, totally!' Becca exclaimed,
'I can't, I've got a ton of homework' Carly said,
'Come on Carls, don't be so boring' I told her,
'Alright, fine' she agreed,
'Awesome!' I said starting the car and having to pull the car to a halt when I noticed a dorky looking kid walking right in front of the car,
'Get off the road, specs!' I yelled , honking the horn,
'You're supposed to stop!' he yelled back. I gasped, he answered back?
'I don't stop for dorks' I said and drove off toward the shopping mall.

I struggled in the door with all my bags, but eventually made it up to my room. I set all my shopping bags down on my bed. I was trying on the different pairs of shoes I bought when I heard yelling and the front door slam. I quietly got up and slowly shut my bedroom door. Mum and dad were back. Truth is, I may seem like a lead a perfect lifestyle, y'know, popular, beautiful, amazing house, rich, awesome car, but my parents...well, my parents weren't exactly-
'Sam!' my father shouted,
'Yeah, dad?' I asked,
'Come unpack the shopping' he told me when I poked my head out the door,
'Yeah sure' I said, heading to the kitchen,
'So, what did you do after school today?' asked my mother. I opened my mouth to speak but my father beat me to it,
'Probably sleeping with that guy she's trying to pull off as her boyfriend' he said, 'Same old slut' he said,
'No, I went shopping' I said,
'What for? Boy toys?' he asked, 'Really Sammy, if you sleep with anymore different guys we're gonna have to get you a hall to put them in' I didn't say anything, and just kept unpacking the shopping. This was only a bit of the verbal torment my dad gives me every day, I haven't told anyone about it, but it's kinda a self esteem killer.

I entered the cafeteria to get my lunch when I saw Carly in the line. She turned and smiled at me. Samantha then looked at me, back at Carly and mouthed something to her with a disgusted look on her face, doesn't take a genius to work out what she was saying. I rolled my eyes and grabbed a tray and joined the end of the queue,
'What?' Samantha suddenly screamed, making me drop the apple I was reaching for,
'Um-I asked if it would be okay to date Shane' Carly said in a small voice. I remember Shane. Him and Samantha went out a few weeks ago. She then dumped him because she found Jake a week later. 'Why would you wanna date him?' she asked, with a disgusted tone,
'Well, he's cute and I think he likes me' Carly said, smiling, 'Like the other day he told me that-'
'Fine, You can have him' Samantha interrupted, 'I'm done with him'
'Really?' Carly asked, hopefully,
'Yeah, been there, done that' Samantha shrugged,
'Ok, thanks' Carly said, smiling. I continued putting things onto my tray, when Samantha spoke again,
'Oh,' she said, picking up a plate of bread, 'Do you want this?' she asked, 'You seem to want all my left over's' then she threw it on her tray, 'Too much carbs' she said, and then walked past her,
'Hey, are you okay?' I asked Carly, who had a hurt look on her face,
'Yeah, I'm fine' she whispered, 'Thanks' she smiled at me and then went to join Samantha at the table. I can't believe she'd talk to her friends like that, I thought. I paid for my food and went to join the AV club at their lunch table. I looked over at Samantha's table and she was making out with her boyfriend in front of Carly and Becca, another of her friends,
'Hey, you coming to the AV meeting tomorrow lunch?' Jeremy asked,
'No, can't' I said,
'What? Why not?' Gibby asked,
'I'm tutoring someone and I have to meet them tomorrow' I said, looking over at Samantha's table. She was talking to Becca and completely ignoring Carly,
'Dude!' Gibby exclaimed, waving a hand in front of my face, 'Stop checking Samantha Puckett out!'
'What?' I scoffed, 'I am not checking her out' I confirmed,
'Dude, do you have the hots for her?' Jeremy asked me,
'No!' I protested,
'She is pretty hot' Jeremy commented,
'Yeah, dude you saying you wouldn't bang her?' Gibby asked,
'No, I wouldn't' I said,
'Why?' they both asked at the same time,
'Cause she's a jerk' I shrugged,
'Hot jerk' Gibby said,
'Have you heard how she speaks to her friends?' I asked,
'Yeah' they shrugged. I rolled my eyes and put a chip in my mouth,
'So, you're saying you wouldn't bang her?' Gibby asked,
'No, Gibby' I sighed,
'Really?' asked Jeremy,
'Yes, really' I confirmed,
'But she's hawt!' Gib exclaimed,
'Look,' I said, putting down, 'I'm not going to argue, she's a physically pretty girl-' I stood up and collected my now empty tray, 'But I assure you, there's nothing pretty about her personality' I finished and I threw my tray in the trash can and made my way to my locker.

I opened my apartment door to find a note on the table from my mom saying she went into work early and she wasn't going to be home until after I went to school the next morning. I sighed in relief. At least she wouldn't see the bruise on my face. Oh yeah, I had a bit of an incident with a guy at school. I refused to do his homework for him, and he...well he wasn't really down with that. I put down my bag and turned on the TV. Seeing as I had no homework, I could watch movies until I had to go to sleep.

SPOV

I look around, there's a whole lot of pretty ladies, but none like you, you shine so bright-
I turned the alarm off, getting up the next day. I fell asleep last night, so I didn't have time to have a shower and do my hair the night before, so I had to get up a whole hour earlier so I could shower this morning. I groaned while I grabbed my towel and got in the shower. I washed my hair and shaved my legs, seeing as I was going to wear a mini skirt today. I got out the shower and looked at the clock on the other side of the bathroom. Hm, I guess I don't have time to straighten my hair. I shrugged, I'll just skip breakfast so I'll have extra time to do my hair. I smiled and slipped my outfit on, a pink mini skirt with a white blouse and some long pink boots. I put my make up on and started straightening my hair. I finished my hair with five minutes to spare so I went out to grab some breakfast. I grabbed my keys and my pink bag and set out to pick Carly up.

I pulled up outside the Bushwell Plaza where I pick Carly up and she was waiting outside. Last Friday Night, by Katy Perry was blasting from the radio as she climbed in the passenger seat,
'Hey' I greeted, before driving to school,
'Hey' she smiled back,
'So, what's happening with you and Shane?' I asked. She looked shocked, why should she? He's my ex,
'Um, well, I thought about it and maybe it's not a good idea' she said and I smiled, 'I mean, one of my best friends exes?' she asked,
'Yeah, you're probably right' I agreed smiling.

We got to school ten minutes late, as always. Carly hurried off to her first lesson, but I couldn't be bothered. I took out my phone and texted Jake,

To: Jakey 3
From: Princess
Heyy where r u? Xx

To: Princess
From: Jakey 3
under the bleachers, could use you right now ;) xxxxx

To: Jakey 3
From: Princess
b there in a min ;) xxx
I started to make my way under the bleachers to meet Jake when a dork with glasses rushed past me on the way into school,
'Hey! Watch it!' I exclaimed, from him pushing into me,
'Sorry, I-' then he stopped, when he saw who he was talking to, 'Sorry' he mumbled, before heading off somewhere.

'Hey, where were you this morning? You missed both lessons' Becca asked me, at lunch,
'Oh, me and Jake were under the bleachers till ten' I said, putting a forkful of salad into my mouth, 'Then I went shopping' I said, leaning over and taking out a bag from under the table, 'Speaking of which, what do you think to my new bag?' I said, taking a bag out and showing it to them. It was pink with white buckled straps,
'Love it!' Becca exclaimed,
'Beautiful!' Carly squealed,
'Prada' I told them,
'How much?' Becca asked,
'250' I replied, 'Quite cheap actually, it was on sale' I told them. Just then my phone beeped from the table. I picked it up and unlocked it,
'Ugh' I groaned, 'Sorry, guys I have to go' I said, picking up my bag and my shopping,
'Where?' Becca asked,
'I have that dumb tutor thing' I explained,
'Ok, call me later!' Becca exclaimed,
'Love ya, bitch!' I called back,
'Love ya, hoe!' the both called back. I sighed as I walked to the room I was supposed to be meeting this tutor. How much of a 'tutor' can he really be? If he's my age and if my class, what can he teach me that I don't already know? I got out my phone and started texting Jake,

To: Jakey 3
From: Princess

Wanna come over after school? ;) xxx

I sent it and got a reply back almost immediately,
To: Princess
From: Jakey 3

Luv too babe, meet by the car? Xxx

To: Jakey 3
From: Princess

Yeah :) xx

I put my phone away and sighed when I realised that my 'Tutor' wasn't here yet so I decided just to wait in the room. I threw my bags down and waited for my 'Tutor'

FPOV

I was on my way to meet my 'tutee' in the English room. I got to the door to notice no one was outside, but I noticed a figure through the window. I went in and couldn't believe what I saw. Samantha Puckett was sitting at the table. Samantha Puckett,
'S-Samantha?' I asked. She looked away from her phone and back at me,
'Yeah?' she asked, obnoxiously,
'You need tutoring?' I asked,
'Oh, you're the tutor' she said, standing up,
'Well, listen I don't know who you are but-'
'Freddie Benson?' I asked,
'Well, I know that, it's on the sheet' she said,
'I sit behind you in class?' I asked. She looked at me blankly, 'Get off the road, specs?' I quoted what she said,
'Oh, yes now I remember you' she smirked, 'Listen, I don't want this tutoring, but apparently I need it and apparently there's something you know that I don't, so teach me it' she waved to me. I stayed there, looking at her, 'What?' she asked,
'W-well-'
'Yes?' she asked, 'I'm waiting' she said. I scoffed and walked toward the door,
'Where are you going?' she asked,
'I don't need this' I said and closed the door. I went straight to the teacher who set this up,
'What is this?' I asked, giving him the paper he gave me, 'Samantha Puckett' I stated, 'really?' I asked,
'Fredward, listen she needs the help and you're the only one in the class willing to help her' he said,
'Well, I was wrong, I can't deal with it, sorry' I said, walking out the door,
'I'll give you extra credit' he said. I turned,
'What?' I asked,
'If you tutor her, I'll give you extra credit' he repeated, 'looks good on college applications' he said. I thought about it. He was right, tutoring did look good on college applications, not to mention the extra credit he was gonna give me...
'Ok, fine' I gave, 'I'll tutor her' I said, walking out the door, she was still managing all her shopping bags when I got out the door, 'We start here, tomorrow after school' I said, as I walked past.
