[Chapter 1]

I felt a mass of butterflies as I pulled into the high school parking lot and swung my classic mini into a free space. I hadn't been too fussy about bringing large things over here on the move from England as I was happy to buy new, but my beloved car was the one thing I insisted upon having shipped over.

I pushed my sunglasses up into my blond hair and picked up my bag,stepping out of the car and feeling the sun hit my face.

I felt eyes on me as I locked the car and walked,an unfamiliar face, up the steps leading towards the school. Feeling my phone buzz in my jeans pocket, I slid it out to reveal a good-luck message from a friend back in England. Smiling,I began to type a reply.

I looked up as I saw a hand held out in front of me.

There stood an old,greying man,presumably a teacher who was looking expectantly at me.
"hand it over" he demanded.
"what?" I asked,puzzled.
"the phone!" he exclaimed. "The school rules clearly state no phones allowed and you look old enough to know that by now!" his hand was still out.

"Oh I'm sorry" I said "this is my first day here and I'm yet to sign my final documents".
He cocked his head slightly and looked at me questioningly.
"that means that technically I don't technically go here yet so you can't confiscate my phone" I grinned triumphantly.
He scowled,storming off,muttering something about the cheek of kids these days.

I reached the top of the stairs,stopping to look at a sign in the hope of finding out where the principals office was.
I sensed someone beside me and looked up to see a tall,muscular guy. He looked about my age and was wearing a letterman jacket.

"hey" he nodded "uhh hey" I gave a half smile.
"you're new here right? I'm Tyler"
"Georgia,and yeah this is my first day" I grimaced,
"I figured" he said "I'd definately remember if I'd seen you before" he winked.
And just like that I knew exactly what kind of guy he was.

"Hitting on the new girl already Tyler?" a voice from behind me asked.
Tyler laughed and I turned to see another tall guy in a letterman jacket grinning at me.

"don't worry about Tyler he scares most girls..we think he has a condition" he fake-whispered the last part and I laughed shooting a glance at Tyler who shook his head.

"I'm Matt" the guy said,
"Georgia" I felt a smile spread across my face.

"I was just about to compliment Georgia here on her little showdown with Mr Oakley" Tyler stated,drawing my attention away from Matt.
I must have looked confused because Tyler added, "The old dude that tried to take your phone?"

"Oh him!" I shook my head "I shouldn't have done that he'll hate me now."
"Your first day and you've already crossed Mr Oakley" Matt laughed "I think we've found ourselves a little rebel here" he winked.

Someone in a big crowd of what I assumed to be jocks shouted Tyler's name and he excused himself,jogging towards the crowd.

"Come on" Matt spoke,putting his hand on my shoulder. "I'm meeting some friends near the principles office so I'll show you there and maybe introduce you to some normal people now you've met Tyler?" he smirked and I nodded, relieved that I seemed to have made a friend.
