Disclaimer: I am not the owner of most of these characters names, I only own Cris and Jamie and the plot :D

Chapter One; The calm before the storm:

Cris sat up. Her long brown hair flowing down her back as she stared at the door awaiting the shouts to begin again. She removed her headphones and placed them round her neck while her Mum continued shouting. "Crisiant Rhiannon Jones" uh oh full name she thought as she swallowed the bit of anxiety she now felt bubble inside of her. "Get down her right now!" Her mother exclaimed as she closed the laptop and trudged out of the room. What have I done now she pondered when she got to the bottom of the dark wooden staircase she saw something she wasn't expecting.

She saw her mother talking to someone, Cris couldn't quite see who it was as her mother was blocking to door way and her view. Her mother seemed to realise that she was behind her and turned to the side so Cris could see the person her mother was evidently talking to.

"Jamie!" Cris exclaimed as she looked at the tall, very tall about 6, 4", boy with hazel eyes and gold flecks and light brown hair that was naturally ruffled, uh no she knows now doesn't she, is he trying to make my life a misery? Jamie the egotistical, arrogant idiot from school; only few people realised it but he was the spawn of Satan disguised as an angel. Okay, she had to admit he was kind of good looking but all the idiot in him made up for that.

That's why he's here isn't, ooh I am so going to kill him. Of course she was just guessing but it made her feel better at the idea of how many torturous ways she could murder him. "Aren't you going to explain yourself, Crisiant?" Ugh, she hated her full name, I mean who the hell names their child something derived from Crystal. Stupid Welsh name.

"I don't know what you talking about," she lied hoping her mother would believe her instead of whatever lies, which was probably true, Jamie had told her. But before she could make another sound Jamie cut in "I'm sure you remember," he stepped closer to where Cris was leaning against the wall. "Who would forget the rarity of my heavy breathing," he said seductively making Cris want to gag.

He did tell her, once again she thought there would be at least a shred of kindness in the shallow shell his toned body was. After a minute of silence in which she death stared Jamie, her mother finally seemed to regain her speech and said "I did not raise you to be abusive and reckless, what could he have possibly have done to deserve this?"

Firstly she made it seem like she nearly killed him, she'd only punched him in the stomach and winded him. Secondly what had he done, he had basically committed assault.

She could see him coming, the people stood at either side of the corridor waiting for him and his friends to pass. They were like school royalty, everyone made way for them or suffer the consequences. As the middle of the corridor cleared only Cris, Maia and Tessa, Cris' two best friends, stood their ground as they always did and continued talking. The boys approached the girls with emotions plastered on their faces that ranged from shock to vengeance.

As Jamie and his crew, made up of James (Jem), Sebastian, Cato, sauntered there way over to the girls, Cris and her friends barely spared them a glance. "Move bitches" Jamie nearly shouted, obviously not hiding his anger toward them. At the word, Tessa's grey eyes because stormy, Maia's dark eyes turned to black crevasses and Cris' green blue eyes twinkled as she knew this would be fun.

The girls slowly turned and everyone crowded round them making a circle and anticipating a fight. The boys were known for throwing punches and being good fighters and everyone knew they weren't afraid to beat anyone up, even a girl. Jem was the one exception to this, he was kind and thoughtful and sarcastic but only as a joke and he hardly ever beat up anyone and never a girl. Although everyone also knew not to piss Cris or any of her friends of or they would feel their wrath; Cris and her group had all been taught fighting in their school and were all exceptional fighters. Her adoptive mother, who she called her mother as she had been like one for Cris' entire life, disapproved of this but the self-defence argument one again.

"Oh are you talking to us?" Maia said in a sweet, innocent and very fake voice. Tessa and Cris cracked a smile at this and Jamie's expression turned darker. "Who else would I be talking to? Now MOVE" he said his anger filling his voice.

"Maybe someone who cared," Cris smiled sweetly, answering his question. Cris and her friends all took drama and were frankly top of the class. The girls stood their ground unmoving, standing in a seductive stance, biting their lips. They knew this wouldn't affect Jamie but the rest of his group and all the guys watching seemed to fall for it, their mouths wide open almost drooling and their bodies seemed to have sunk slightly. The girls laughed at the effect they were having, not that they would admit it but everyone thought they were the hottest girls in school.

Cris stepped forward swaying as she walked, when she reached the still shocked Jamie, obviously he wasn't expecting her come back, she draped a finger down his chest and leaned in to whisper in his ear "Do you really want me to move?" She pulled back biting her lip and giving him puppy dog eyes, she felt his warm breath against his face as he sighed.

Cris stepped back toward the girls and smirked "Well good luck with that," she said noticing the look on his face, most of the boys were total players and could get any girl they wished for, apart from Cris and her friends and they loved challenges so had never stopped trying to get in their pants.

Cris, Tessa and Maia all turned and began to walk away when someone grabbed Cris' arm with an iron grip. She looked to Tessa and Maia who had always protected each other but they were being held by the waist by Sebastian and Cato who seemed to be enjoying holding them at such close proximity. She turned to stand face to face with Jamie and tugged at her arm.

He chuckled as she snarled "Let go," His smirk simply grew "Now why would I want to do that" He said as he pushed her up against the lockers. The onlookers were quick to move out of the way and didn't do anything to help the girls because they had no chance of helping anyway, never mind the consequences. She was stuck between the lockers and his body so that she was unable to move. Out of the edge of her vision Tessa and Maia were kicking and elbowing as much as they could but they knew it was useless all the boys were corded with muscles. She looked straight into Jamie's eyes now the gold flecks were more visible as his hazel eyes turned a dark brown.

She narrowed her eyes at him and he slid his hand down her body while the other came up to her mouth to stop her from screaming. She couldn't move not only from shock but his body was crushing her. Just as she was about to pass out a voice came from behind him. "Jamie, enough" Jem said forcibly. She was shocked why was he doing this for her she wondered but Jamie backed off only a bit so she could breathe. Jem stepped forward as if to do something when more girls stepped up.

It took a while for her to see them but sure enough Katniss, Isabelle, Clary, Tris and Hazel were standing there. They were late but Cris couldn't have been more thankful for her friends stepping up. "Get off her you perv" Isabelle said as she and the others stepped forward. Tris, Hazel and Katniss went to help Tessa and Maia. Izzy and Clary stepped forward again and Jamie reluctantly let go of Cris. Air filled Cris' lungs as she heaved in breaths while everyone crowded her. She lent down and put one hand to support her on her knee and the other to wave people off.

When she regained a normal breathing rate she hugged her friends hello and thank you, then strutted after the boys. "Hey" she shouted, they all turned, she walked over to Jem kissed him on the cheek and leaned back "Thank you, James" She said and she smiled as she saw Jem's cheek flame and the rest of them looked stunned and Jamie looked slightly angry.

As she walked away a hand grasped her arm again, the same arm as before that she swore would have a bruise. She knew it was Jamie so when she twirled around to face him, she saw he was going to push her against something again. So what was the natural thing for her to do: turn around duck under his arm and punch her in the stomach hard.

He bent over wheezing, she smiled winked at the boys and walked towards her friends who were suppressing a laugh while the onlookers were standing stunned. As the girls turned to walk with her, they all let out a laugh. "He so deserved that" Hazel exclaimed elongating the 'so'. They all agreed and headed to lessons as the bell went when Katniss whispered "As much as I love you, especially for that, you know it's going to bite you back on the ass" So American she thought. "I'm counting on it" she smiled then went in to class.
