So this idea has been floating around in my head for awhile. The chapters are going to be kind of short, but there will be a lot of them. I'm anticipating this story to be over 100,000 words when complete. I have the first 10-15 chapters already written and I will post one hopefully every day. Enjoy! :D Oh and before I forget...I own nothing familiar and blah blah...
Chapter 1: Cat's P.O.V. Monday
"Cat, wake up. You don't want to be late for school." Just how I wanted to wake up, being yelled at at 6 in the morning.
"Yes I do. Why can't I just stay home?"
"Sweetie you have to go, it's your first day."
"Fine," I growl, pulling myself out of bed "give me 10 minutes." I walk over to my closet and pull on some torn black skinny jeans and a purple plaid shirt, throw on my old purple high-tops, fix my black hair, and put on some eyeliner. I adjust my bracelets to make sure my cuts are covered as I stumble downstairs and head towards the door.
"Cat!" my mom yells after me, "don't you want breakfast?"
"I don't have time mom, I'll just grab something on the way." She nods in agreement, but I can't tell if she actually buys my lie. Instead of focusing on that I shove in my ear buds and wonder about the shit I'm going to have to face today. I'm still pissed at my parents for putting me through this. I mean, who wants to start at a new school their senior year.
Shorter than I thought possible, I arrive at school. I sigh heavily and walk inside, heading straight for the office. I hold my head down like I usually do and accidentally walk right into someone.
I start to fall and I wince expecting to hit the ground, but something catches me. I look up and instantly get lost in the most beautiful ice-blue eyes I have ever seen.
"Are you okay?" I hear.
I shake my head to clear it. "I'm fine," I mumble as I pull away from his arms. I take a step back and fully see the boy who caught me. He has black hair with blue bangs that keep falling into his eyes, which seem to be outlined in black eyeliner. His skin is pale so his simple black shirt and skinny jeans stand out against his skin. His clothes seem too big for his frame, but still incredibly tight-fitting.
"I'm Josh," he says extending his arm.
"I'm Cat," I say as I take his hand, shaking it slightly.
"You must be new here," he continues, "I've never seen you before."
"Um yeah, it's my first day; I was just headed to the office. Can you tell me where it is?"
"Do you want me to walk you there?" he asks.
"Sure," I reply, "at least then I won't get lost." I notice as we walk towards the office that people keep shooting us strange looks, I look over at Josh and seem him frowning slightly. I brush it off, it's probably nothing. We get to the office and Josh holds the door open for me. I thank him as we step in. I walk up to the counter, as I notice that Josh stays by the door.
"Hi, I'm new here. My name is Catherine Millitello."
"Oh yes dear," the secretary beams at me, "did you have any trouble finding the office?"
"Yes, but Josh helped me," I gesture towards him and her face falls instantly.
"Thank you Mr. Ramsay," she says forcing a grimace, "but you can head to class now."
He tilts his head in acknowledgement and exits the room without a word.
"Miss Millitello," the secretary calls my attention, "why don't I find you a student guide for the day? Just give me a second to pull someone out of first period."
"Why couldn't Josh have done it?" I ask her confused, "he was already here."
"I know dear, but I think I should find you a more—um—suitable guide."
"Oh, okay," I answer hesitantly. She points to some chairs by the wall and asks to me to wait over there. After a few minutes the door opens and a girl walks in. I take one look at her mini-skirt, high-heels, blond hair, and designer bag and decide I already don't like her.
"Miss Sovick," the secretary gushes, "thank you so much for coming down."
"Anything to help you, Mrs. Colmes," the blond girl responds, flipping her hair.
"Catherine, Haley Sovick will be your student guide. She is one of our most exemplary students." The blond girl turns to me, and her face instantly twists into a look of disgust.
"Oh great," I think to myself, "My student guide is a bitch." She turns on her heel and struts out the door as I follow. As we walk through the hall I notice the looks I'm getting are drastically different from when I was with Josh. Apparently Haley Sovick isn't just a bitch; she's the queen bitch, so anyone walking with her instantly earns respect. Damn this is going to be a long day.
