A/N This starts when Columbia is about…14/15 in high school. Any OOCness is cause her character changes dramatically, kay? Bare with me on this one ;)

***Columbia POV***

I moved as quickly as I could with an armful of books, which wasn't very fast, unfortunately for me, making sure to cast my gaze anywhere but on the group of boys gathered around an old motorcycle which I recognized instantly. Eddie Scott, nephew to the only really successful person in the whole town, Dr. Everett Scott. He's the reason Eddie got away with owning a motorbike at 15, no one wanted to anger Dr. Scott… except Eddie. Eddie was one of your typical popular students at my school; drinking, smoking, doing drugs and just generally causing trouble. Or headaches, in my case.

I never got why it was so fun to pester me, out of everyone in the school… I mean, I never really reacted - I didn't want to get into trouble. I guess it was just me being such a goodie-two-shoes that he found so hilarious. I couldn't understand why. Was it so weird that I wanted a future outside of this dreary little town that didn't involve stealing money to buy alcohol and drugs? I was a straight-A student with a great future ahead of me, I didn't see any reason to change that!

My tactics of avoiding eye-contact didn't work, of course I knew they wouldn't - they never did. Eddie and his pathetic little "gang" would never pass up on an opportunity to annoy me. It was just what I expected, what I was used to; cat-calls, wolf-whistles and just generally being vulgar teenage boys. "Hey Columbia, where're you goin' to?" I recognized Eddie's voice above the jeering and shouting, but I ignored him, picking my pace up as much as I could so as to get into the school as fast as possible. I was seriously wishing that I had taken the long way round the school rather than the short-cut through the yard. 'Damn my locker for being at the other end of the school ta the study halls' I cursed to myself.

"Come on babe, forget that lame study club of yours, hang out with us for a while." I could hear the smirk in his voice. I hated him calling me 'babe'. In fact, I hated him talking to or about me at all. I heard him mutter something to his friends. I paused for a split-second when I heard them laughing and muttering encouragements to him. 'What're they up ta?' I wondered to myself, worried. Eddie's ideas always meant trouble for me.

I glanced back over my shoulder quickly, and saw Eddie get up off his bike and put away what looked like a knife which he'd apparently been cleaning his nails with, and start walking towards me. Dammit! I started moving towards the school again, practically running now. "Wait up, babe." Eddie called from behind me, laughing. I reached the study hall and sighed in relief. I tried to shift all my books into one arm so I could open the door, nearly dropping some in the process.

"Allow me." Eddie had caught up with me. He opened the door and stood back, almost as if he had manners. I glared at him and stalked off to my normal seat up the front of the room, hoping he'd go back to his gang. But I had never been a lucky person. Instead, he followed me and took the seat directly behind me. I turned to glare at him again, "What're ya playin' at Eddie? Leave me alone!" He leant back in his chair, putting his feet up on his desk and grinned. "Not doin' anything to you, am I? Just sitting behind you." I contemplated moving seats, but just then the teacher came in to supervise us. I gave him one more icy look, before turning around and starting my homework for the evening.

We had only been at it five minutes when I felt something hitting the back of my chair, I guessed quite easily that it was the foot of the idiot sitting behind me. Of course I knew the only reason he'd followed me in here was to annoy me, but still. I tried ignoring him, but when he kicked my chair hard enough for it to move, I looked back over my shoulder at him, "Cut it out!" I hissed, but he just grinned his infuriating cocky smile at me and kicked my chair even harder. I groaned and went back to my work. Not wanting to get in trouble for talking, he wasn't worth it.

Eventually the kicking stopped, so I figured that he'd gotten bored. Then I felt something hitting the back of my head. Reaching back I found a little ball of paper. Great, I could see where this was going. After a while I couldn't work, I was too tense, trying to hold back my anger - I had a really short fuse, but it rarely showed as no one talked to me enough to anger me, just Eddie. I knew he was just waiting for that moment when I'd snap and it wasn't going to take long at this rate.

Finally I just couldn't hold it back any longer. "What the HELL is you're problem?" I shouted, jumping out of my seat and glaring at him, which he, apparently, found hilarious. The teacher turned to me, "Columbia, is there a problem?" I didn't answer, I thought it was pretty darn obvious that there was a problem, otherwise I wouldn't be shouting, steam practically coming out of my ears! When I didn't answer she continued, "Well then, I advise you to sit back down and relax."

Eddie was loving this, he had one of those huge, dopey grins on his face. I had never really been in trouble before, so I guess he was hoping that I'd get sent to the principal or something. I took one look at the teacher before shaking my head, "No, I'm leaving." I gathered up my books and walked off quickly, tears pricking the corners of my eyes. I was so embarrassed. I heard the laughter start before the door had even closed behind me. Why did my life have to suck so badly?

A/N OK, so this is my first fanfic and its for the rocky horror picture show, which i am totally obsessed with! Columbia, Frank and Eddie are my favourites, so this will mainly be focusing around them, however there will be a good bit of the other characters as well, and its not all from Columbia's point of view, either. This is kinda my take on the story, starting about 5 years before the movie starts. Dunno where it will stop, end of movie or shock treatment. Will prob start a new FF for shock treatment though, so don't worry if you hate it, there wont really be any reference to it anyway!Now, explanations! Yeah, I'm putting her in school with Eddie, cause I just cant picture her cheating on Frankie with just anyone, so i thought id put a little history between the moment she is a total goodie-two-shoes, which i know is out of character, but her personality changes as she grows throughout the story, don't worry, I'm not totally re-writing rocky! Lolz.I dunno how often Ill post new chapters, cause I have exams soon enough and i have to study. Yeah, like Columbia was trying to do until Eddie (who is strangely like a fat idiot in my class, at this point) decided to... intervene!Please let me know what you think so far, please? Any spellings, grammar mistakes, critiques and suggestions will be very much appreciated! And yes, I write short chapters, get over it!
