You always remember the day that your life changes forever. It happened to me on a Wednesday in the middle of August. It was the first week of my junior year of high school. I woke up to the sound of thunder at 6 in morning. I groaned and looked outside my window. It looked pitch black from all of the dark clouds. Rain was pouring down from the sky. A bolt of lightning struck followed by a big boom of thunder. Great, I thought to myself. I hate having to go out in this type of weather. I would rather stay in bed all day.

I got out of bed and made my way into the bathroom to shower and get ready for school. I look at myself in the mirror. My dark brown hair looks messy and my deep brown eyes have bags underneath them. I've always been self-conscious about the way I look. But honestly today I just didn't care because it was raining anyway.

As I came out of the bathroom, I heard movement from downstairs. My mom is up probably making breakfast. I head downstairs, and as soon as I walk in the kitchen the smell of bacon filled the air.

"Good morning, Emily, I made bacon and eggs. Grab a plate!" my mother says.

I grabbed a plate from the cabinet and got two slices of bacon and some scrambled eggs.

"Thanks mom. It looks delicious." I say.

"So today is the first day back at school. Are you nervous?"

"No mother. I've been to school with the same people ever since kindergarten. You know this," Emily rolled her eyes.

We live in a small town. Everybody knows everything about everyone. It is hard to keep your own secrets when everyone is running their mouth about every rumor they hear. New people rarely come to Rosewood, and if they do they probably wish they didn't. Sometimes I wish that we lived in a huge city where I could meet new people whenever I wanted, but my mom likes it here.

"Well, I hope that you have a good day. I will be home by dinnertime." Her mom says.

I finished my breakfast, grabbed my backpack and purse and headed out of the door. I was trying not to get soaked so I wore my red hoodie and brought my yellow umbrella with me. I got in my car and drove the whole five minutes to school.

As I walked to the front of the building, a gust of wind hit me and sent my umbrella flying. I ran to catch it, but it ended up hitting someone in the back.

"I am so sorry! I lost control of my umbrella."

"Yeah I noticed" said an unfamiliar person. I notice that she has blonde wavy hair and mesmerizing blue yes.

She picked up the umbrella and gave it back to me.

"Next time hold on to your things a little tighter" she said to me smirking.

"Um, who are you?" I said defensively.

"Someone who doesn't want to be bothered by you" she replies and walks in the school letting the door slam shut behind her not even giving me a glance.

Wow, she is really cheerful. Just what I need, I thought to myself. I opened the door and walked straight to homeroom. Right when I walk in my best friend, Spencer calls me over to sit with her. I head straight for the seat next to her.

Spencer is absolutely beautiful. She has long brown hair and light brown eyes. She is super intelligent and I've actually been jealous of her a few times because of that. She is my best friend though, so I always let it go.

"It is a mess outside!" she exclaims to me.

"Yeah it is. School should just shut down when weather is like this."

Ezra Fitz, our homeroom teacher enters the room. He begins calling out our names for roll call. As he goes down the roll call he comes to a certain name I'm not familiar with.

"Hanna Marin"

"Here" the girl replies.

I looked behind me to see who it was, and sure enough it was the girl who was rude to me earlier.

"Seriously?" I mumble aloud

Spencer turns to me

"What is it?"

"My umbrella flew into her earlier. She got an attitude with me" I whisper quietly so no one else could hear.

"Oh, she is new in town. I saw her family moving in a couple of weeks ago. She lives in my neighborhood."

"Well she doesn't seem like a very friendly person."

"Hopefully we won't have any classes with her then."

Mr Fitz started passing out our class schedules and locker and I have our lockers beside each other. We also have four classes together, thankfully.

As we head to our first class, I quickly turn around because I left my notebook in my locker. I turned around too fast because I ended up knocking someone over.

"Are you freakin kidding me?" the person says.

Wow, seriously. I just ran into the same person that I hit with my umbrella. Now I know she completely hates me already. I go to help her up and try to apologize but she doesn't take my hand. I head straight for my locker, grab my notebook and head straight to English, which happens to be Mr Fitz's class again. Spencer is laughing the whole time this is happening.

"Will you shut up? How can I possibly be that clumsy enough to run into the same person twice" I exclaim.

"She really doesn't like you" Spencer giggles.

"I told you she was mean, and it is so not funny."

"It is a little humorous, I must say."

"Whatever.."

As we walk into the classroom, I notice Hanna in the back of the room. She has ear buds in and seems to be drawing something while bobbing her head slightly to whatever music is playing.

"Hello Earth to Emily!" Spencer says while waving her hand in my face.

"Sorry I got distracted. What were you saying?"

"I was saying that Aria and Toby want to meet at The Coffee Stop after school."

"Sounds good to me" I reply.

Toby is really sweet, funny, and is a great photographer. He has a muscular body and deep piercing grayish blue eyes. He is gorgeous basically.

Aria is really into weird fashion and writing/poetry, She is super nice though. She is really short, with dark hair.

Mr Fitz walks through the door and starts handing out the syllabus to everyone. He talks his way through the rules and what is to be expected in his class this semester. He states that he has already paired up everyone for the end of the semester final project. It is on any Shakespeare play that we want to write a paper about and we have to give a presentation.

He starts calling out the pairs he has come up with.

"Spencer and Toby"

"Heck yeah" Toby says grinning at Spencer. Spencer's heart melts a little. I can tell. They love each other but won't admit it.

"Hanna and Emily"

I turn beside me to Spencer with a shocked face. How is this possible? Can this day get any worse? Spencer is just laughing away thinking this is funny. Spending a whole semester with Hanna is going to be horrible.

When it is finally lunchtime, Spencer, Toby, Aria, and I sit down at a table together to eat. We catch up on how everyone's day has been so far.

"So, what's up with this Hanna chick? I mean why are we supposed to not like her?" Aria asked.

"Because she hates Emily's guts for being such a klutz" giggles Jane.

"You guys, this semester is going to be the death of me. This whole day has been complete crap. Chemistry is going to be a pain too" Emily says.

"Well at least you and I have Chemistry together" Aria exclaims.

As we are talking and eating our lunch, someone taps me on the shoulder. I turn around and who do I see. Hanna, of course.

"We need to talk about this project. We each do half of the work. You pick the play and I'll pick the topic.

"Give me your phone" Hanna says a little bit demanding.

"Uh, okay." I mumble while giving her my phone.

As she handed my phone back, our fingers grazed and I felt a jolt. It felt like she sent electricity through my body. I quickly put my hands in my lap.

"Great, now don't bother me any other time unless it is for this project specifically." Hanna says aggressively as she walks away.

"Wow. That girl is a total bitch" Aria states.

"That she is" I reply as I watch her walk away.

I'm not entirely sure what just happened. I could have just made up that whole scenario. What is it with that girl?
