When Abi Branning was 10 years old, Jay Brown had pulled her ponytail on her head. He was a new student and had moved in across the street from her, living with his granddad. Abi was no stranger at being picked on, bullied and poked at. She was a swat and she knew it, but this time it was different.

He had only been new for a weak and he wasn't in Abis class, so how he knew she was a geek, she didn't know. It must be the way she dressed with her uniform, so normal, so accurate, so posh like.

He had just yanked the ponytail on her head hard. Her head snapping backwords at the sudden yank of her hair. Her chubby cheeks turned bright red and her eyes should know better, he was 12 after all.

She turned around to face the mean boy who had been so cruel to her. To find the boy who lives across the road from her, giving her a dark look. His dark eyes scanning her and his lips twitching. "I'm Jay"

Abi was confused, was he trying to make friends or did he just want her to know his name. He was doing a pretty rubbish job at trying to be her friend. "I'm Abi"

"I know" he snapped at her. He was cold and dark. It scared Abi, after all she was only 10.

Abi wasn't sure what to say, so Jay wrinkled his nose at her. "Um Jay, do you want to be friends" She decidded to be straight forward with it.

"No" was his short answer as he began to walk away, leaving Abi feeling unsure. She was only sure about one thing, stay the hell away from Jay Brown.

Little did she know that in a few short years time, it would be hard to stay away from the dark and mysterious Jay Brown.
