Chapter 1 - Brand New Day

The sun shined over the City of Malibu, which was perfect for the students of Malibu High School who were heading back after two months vacation. Among them students was a new girl Eve Torres. Sat in the passenger's side of the seat of the car she waited patiently for her mother for her mother to drive her to school. As she waited she pulled down the sun visor and looked into the small mirror. Running her fingers through her caramel locks she studied her face to make sure her make up was perfect, once satisfied with the results she closed the sun visor. Still waiting for her mother she crossed her tanned legs which were exposed by the white shorts she wore, with a blue and white checked shirt her fingers undoing a few of the black buttons on the top. It was her first day of a new school and she wanted to make an impression. Eve had moved to Malibu after her dad had received a big promotion from work forcing her and her mum to move from Denver. As an only child Eve was devastated, having to leave behind her friends some of which she had known for her whole seventeen years so they were practically like family, her dad had assured her that she would love it here in Malibu and make loads of new friends. Pulling out her phone from her white shopper bag she texted her best friend Maria Kanellis. Missing you loads :( Seconds later she received a message back Same it's not the same without you Chris misses you loads, good luck at your new school though hope you have a great time and make loads of new friends, just don't replace me lol x. A smile grew on Eve's face her friends were missing her as was her boyfriend Chris Masters. Another reason Eve was distraught about leaving Denver, not only would she be leaving behind her home and her friends, she would be leaving behind her boyfriend and love of her life. Eve was so engrossed in reading her text she didn't even notice her mum take her place in the drivers seat and starting the car.

"That must be a text from Maria" Her mother stated

Eve broke away from her thoughts and looked over to her mother Fiona Torres. It was obvious as to where Eve got her looks from as she was like a miniature version of her mother. "How'd you guess"

"The only time me and your father ever see you smile is when you're talking to Maria or Chris"

"Well it's not exactly easy for me" Eve groaned, she then took note of her mother's appearance her hair was pulled back into a ponytail and she wore a smart grey suit. "Anyway where are you going dressed like that?"

"Sweetie you think you've got it bad leaving Denver? I had a great job as an estate agent, baby I was so good at it there as everyone knew and loved me I sold loads, but now I'm having to start over so I'm going for a job interview at 10"

As they drove Eve stared out of the window and saw how different Malibu was from Denver. For starters no one walked to school; most were driving in expensive flashy cars. Secondly most of the girls looked like Barbies' they were caked in so much make, perfectly tanned, it looked like they had the most expensive clothing on and as for their hair it was so immaculate that not even a strand was out of place. Eve began to wonder if she would fit in here at Malibu. In Denver at least she didn't have to worry so much about her appearance and have a few off days without being judged for it. A few minutes later Eve reached her destination, her mum pulled up outside the school entrance. Eve undid her seatbelt and looked at her mum scared.

"Sweetie what's wrong?"

"What if no one likes me?" Eve frowned

"Listen honey, just be yourself okay and if no one likes you then forget them." She said as she pulled her daughter in for a hug. "Now good luck you'll be fine"

Eve got out the car "Thanks mom and good luck with your interview" she said as she shut her door. Eve looked around at her new school Malibu High. It was big a lot bigger than her old school that was for sure. She walked up the steps and into front entrance which was surrounded with students either trying to get to classrooms, stood outside their lockers or talking to their friends. Eve was supposed to go reception and then she was to go and speak to the head Mrs S McMahon. Unsure of where she was she tried to ask.

"Excuse me?" She asked a few people but they just ignored her and carried on with what they were doing. Sighing she carried on walking figuring that maybe it was further along. She looked around for a sign or something, but there was nothing.

"You look lost" she heard someone say

Turning around she came face to face with someone. Her first reaction was that he was cute and very big, but her second was that she was glad that someone was nice enough to talk to her.

"Is it that obvious?" she asked

He laughed and nodded his head "Yeah, so where you wanna be heading sweet thing?"

"Reception"

"Well I'll take you there myself" He offered

Eve smiled at him "Thank you so much, I'm Eve by the way"

"John"

All the girls swarmed into the bathroom and hogged the mirrors making sure that they looked immaculate for their first day back. They all stopped though when they saw two figures enter with another two figures behind them.

"Out!" one of them demanded and with that everyone obeyed, collecting their things and made a run for the door.

"Much better" said the other as the four of them went over to the mirrors.

This was team Laycool and they practically ran the school. They had so much influence over the girls in the school, if they told someone she was fat she would go as far to starving themselves, if they told someone they were too skinny they would begin to stuff their faces, if they told someone they were ugly they would wear more make up or some would go extreme and opt for surgery. It wasn't just the girls they had an influence on. Most of the guys in the school wanted to be with them or just sleep with them. Either way they were the most popular girls around. The four piece consisted of; Michelle McCool she was the heartless bitch of the group, who most people feared as she wasn't afraid to say what she thought no matter if it hurt someone. She was also rather ruthless when it came to most things. Her best friend Layla was the same but not as bad. The British girl wasn't a saint compared to her though she was sly and sneaky. Kelly Blank was most likely to be the saint of the group, but she was still a bitch. She would often befriend people and get them to reveal their secrets and would instantly tell Layla and Michelle, but she lied a lot to Michelle and Layla about things she had done just so they wouldn't think she was pathetic. Then there was Maryse, she was just like Michelle and Layla ruthless, cold hearted, sly and sneaky. These were the girls everyone wanted to be.

"So I have some new for you all" announced Michelle "Me and John finally slept together"

Michelle and John had been dating for the past three months. Michelle knew that John really liked her and she felt the same way about John. He was everything she had never known in a guy he was sweet, charming, funny and he was with her because he wanted to be not just because he wanted to sleep with her.

"Aw Shell" Layla said as she hugged her

"You must really like him if you made him wait" said Kelly

"Well after all the jerks you've been with hun I do not blame you" said Maryse

"Well he is a special guy" Michelle said smiling from ear to ear. She then began to spray some hairspray over her blonde locks, which she had decided to curl today. She wore a white simple vest with the words Flawless written on in silver with a light blue denim mini skirt, showing off her long lean legs and the silver pumps she wore completed the outfit. She handed the hairspray over to Layla who sprayed it over her dark luscious locks. The Brit wore a white simple vest the same as Michelle with Flawless written in silver but instead of a skirt she opted for light blue denim shorts teamed with silver open toe boots with a 3" heel. As the shortest in the group, Layla always wore heels to make herself look taller.

"Hey Layla can I borrow your eyelash curler?" Kelly asked

Layla handed over the silver item to the blonde who then proceeded to use it on her lashes, which she had coated in several layers of mascara. Once she was done with them she handed them back to the rightful owner. Combing her fingers through her hair she decided to have a quiff in her hair and gripped her bang into place.

"Suits you" Layla complimented

"Yeah and I really love your shoes" Michelle said admiring the black and white quilted pumps she wore with dark blue jeggins, and a white Flawless vest.

"Are they the ones Mike got you?" Maryse asked

"Yeah the Chanel ones, isn't that so thoughtful of him?" Kelly gushed about her boyfriend of the past 6 months Mike Mizanin who was also referred to as Miz.

"Hell yeah, I'd love it if John did something like that for me, but then again he did cook a nice romantic meal for me" Michelle said

"I think we'd better get to homeroom now" Maryse said looking at her red Gucci watch. The platinum blonde led the way with her black heels clicking behind her which she wore with a dark blue denim mini skirt with a white vest with Flawless written across.

All the girls wore Flawless vests as this was their trademark word, and they wanted to make a big impact on the first day of school. As they exited from the bathroom and began to walk to homeroom, everyone stopped what they were doing and stared at them. Most girls were envious of the vests they wore, others their looks and some were in awe over how fabulous they were. Most guys though only had one thing on their mind when they saw all four strutting down the corridors, and it wasn't clean.

This was just another normal school day for Team Laycool.

* x * x * x * x * x * x *

Having just seen Team Laycool strutting around like they owned the school, Natalya Hart slammed her locker door shut. If they was one thing she couldn't stand it was those four, but mostly Layla and Michelle. She swung her school bag onto her shoulder and walked to another person's locker Beth Phoenix. Natalya and Beth had been best friends since the 8th grade.

"Did you just see the four Barbie's?" Beth asked

Natalya nodded her head "Yeah… It's always the same though every school year they just run the school"

"Come on Nat we've been putting up with this shit since I moved here in the eight grade, well obviously you have a lot more longer than me. If you've done it for this long what harms another two more years" Beth said reassuring her friend

Natalya smiled understanding where Beth was coming from "I guess you're right there"

"I'm always right" Beth joked

The two made their way into homeroom and took their seats in the corner of the room, where Natalya's boyfriend Tyson Kidd was already sat, along with Natalya's cousin Dave Smith. Natalya and Beth took their seats in front of them, once seated Natalya immediately turned around to face her boyfriend of the past three years and leaned in to give him a kiss.

"Hey baby" she greeted

"Must you do that in front of me?" Complained her cousin Dave

"Don't like it sit somewhere else then" Natalya retorted

"O dear god" Complained Beth

"What?" Natalya asked as she turned around to see what was wrong with her best friend "Hey you back off right now" she said as someone approached their table

"No, Beth please we need to talk" Begged the person

"Santino I have nothing to say to you" Beth firmly stated

"But Beth" he said with his thick Italian accent

"Listen doucebag it's over between you and her" Natalya said

A roar of laughter emerged from behind them all. "Well that's a shame who else is going to want these two losers, they were a match made in heaven for each other"

Natalya rose to her feet "Look what we have here 'The Miz' how about you just go pump yourself with some steroids" she spat

Mike looked over to Tyson Kidd "You might wanna keep your bitch on a tighter lease"

This comment caused Tyson to rise to his feet, and curl his hand into a fist.

"Leave it Tyson, let's not let him get to us. We're better than that" Natalya said as she tried to calm her boyfriend down

"Okay" Tyson said, but didn't break eye contact at all with Mike.

The teacher Miss Dumas soon entered the room.

"Okay everyone sit down take your seats" She ordered "Hope you all had a good summer as it's now officially over"

The red head looked over at her class and did a quick head count to see who was here and who wasn't, but was soon distracted by something that was happening in the middle of the classroom. She walked over and looked at them.

"Ahem" she said alerting them of her presence "Is this really how you want to start the new school year Miss McCool?"

"No miss I'm sorry" the blonde apologised with a fake smile, before slipping her phone back into her bag

"No cell phones in my class please" said Miss Dumas "Okay we've got a new girl joining us this year, say hi to Eve Torres"

From the doorway emerged Eve Torres. She stood at the front of the class next to Miss Dumas. All eyes were on her she felt some snicker at her, whilst others didn't really care.

"Nice shirt" joked Layla

Miss Dumas rolled her eyes "Layla!"

"No Miss I love it where's it from Wall Mart?"

Michelle, Kelly, Maryse and most others laughed along with Layla. Eve frowned and tried not to let it get her down, but she was definitely missing Denver right now. To save her from further embarrassment Mrs Dumas told Eve to take a seat next to Natalya. Taking her seat Natalya smiled at her. "Ignore them four" she said "You know how every school as the school bitch, well that's ours. I'm Natalya by the way". Eve laughed at Natalya's words

"Thanks" Eve smiled

"And this is Beth" Natalya said introducing her to Beth.

"If you want we could show you around?" Natalya offered

"That would be great" Maybe life in Malibu wouldn't be as bad as she thought. Natalya and Beth seemed like nice enough people. Michelle and Layla however were ones that she would clearly have to watch her back with.

"Hand me your time table" said Natalya, as she studied the paper she handed it back to Eve "Good news you have most lessons with me or Beth, but there's just one you don't Biology"

"That's fine" Eve said as she folded the piece of paper up.

"Well first is History and you have my company" Beth smiled at Eve
