I was sick and tired of boys always constantly asking me out. I mean, why can't I have a boyfriend that would accept me for who I am instead of a bunch of guys gushing over my looks?

"Hey Piper!"

Damn it.

I whirl around in the hallway and the blinding flash of super-white teeth greets me. Dylan. Why, out of all guys did it have to be Dylan? I wasn't in the mood to argue so I responded without that much excitement

"Hey…"

"Geez babe, why are you holding back from me? You know that you want me as your boyfriend. I mean, c'mon look, there are hundreds of hot girls at Brant High want me to be their guy. Why not take the chance?"

"Stop it Dylan. Go away"

"Fine, fine. Just remember that I'm not giving up."

Dylan turned on his heels and stalked away, fuming. I breathe a sign of relief while backing onto my locker. I look up at the ceiling, glad that I had escaped Dylan once again.

I look down and I see a guy with perfect, sparkling blue eyes and ruffled, messy blond hair. Of course. It's Jason Grace. He is the school's most popular jock, being the swim captain, quarterback and team captain of almost every sport team.

I hate to admit it, but I have to say he is really cute.

I smile in his direction only to find out that he is with his girlfriend.

Crap

I suddenly turn all gloomy. Reyna Avila Ramirez-Arellano. I despise her. Not only is she my dream guy's girlfriend, she hates me as well. I look sadly at Jason only to see her give a kiss on the cheek to Jason. He laughs and they share a quick peck on the lips.

I'm so jealous.

I grip my textbooks tightly and hurry to my class. As I step through the door to my Drama class, all heads turn in my direction.

Suddenly all the guys start whispering. They start smiling and shoving other girls out of their seats and motion for me to sit. I just give them a brief smile and continue walking to the back of the room.

I slide into my seat aware that there are approximately fifteen girls glaring at me under their heavy layers of makeup. I lean forwards and whisper Percy, who is sitting ahead of me. We have been friends for an incredibly long time, probably since we were in elementary

"Hello"

"What's up Piper?"

"Nothing. Do you know what we are doing in class today?"

"Oh! I think that we are starting the school play today! I think that we are hosting it since we are Mr. D's 'Best class ever'"

I sit back annoyed and stifle a groan. Just then, I am silenced by a tall muscular figure entering the room. It's Jason. I put my elbows on my desk and hands under my chin and watch him dreamily. He walks closer and closer to me and I stare at him with more and more interest. Finally, he picks a seat next to me.

"Hey"

Was he talking to me?

"Um, Hey"

"I heard that we are putting on Snow white. Which part do you want?"

He is actually talking to me!

"Uh, I think that I would rather be stage crew"

Jason laughs and the most wonderful sound of him laughing fills my ears with joy. I can totally understand what makes him so appealing to girls.

"What about you?"

"I wo-"

Mr. D who was clapping his hands at the front of the room abruptly cut off Jason.

"As you may or may not know, you guys are my favorite class! So to prove that, we will be hosting the play again!"

The room was filled with a series of groans, including mine, but he just ignored us and went on as bright and jumpy as ever.

"This year, we will be putting on… SNOW WHITE!"

He started clapping his hands expecting us to join in. Everybody just stared at him.

"Well, all of you seem so excited! Since all of you are brilliant actors, I have already chosen your parts! Listen carefully as I am not repeating myself twice. Okay. Here we go."

Mr. D choosing our parts? Shit.

"For the main characters, following actor and actress will be playing Snow white and Prince charming. Um… Aha! Piper Mclean and Jason Grace"

All eyes train on me. I was not prepared for this.
