Chapter 1

So, yeah… here's my new story! I'm hoping you guys like it!

Jade's POV

I've figured out that my life will never turn out right. I've figured out that girls can be backstabbing bitches in high school and it only gets worse. I've figured out that people find Goth chicks unappealing and decide to mess with them for their own good.

But maybe someone likes me out there.

I have a nice group of friends, until a few turned on me. I'll name them and give a description before going into detail what they did that will scar them forever when I'm done with them.

Brooke Steffens: Short, tan girl that has light brown hair and sea green eyes. Freckles spread across her face, speckling. She used to be one of my closet friends. Now I just think of her as the girl who will be murdered one day.

Jennifer Grunstra: Fairly skinned girl with thick blonde hair and gorgeous green eyes that will probably always be my best friend. She always stood up for me, attempting to tell off people who told me off like it was their job.

Caitlin Brown: Tan, brown haired girl with red dip dye and blonde highlights hiding in her hair. She won't be my closest friend, but one of them. She always agrees with my words, like in this situation and stands up for me.

Sarah Scott: Dark skinned girl with black, straight hair. Also helped Brooke with her betrayal against me. Long story short, I hate her now, but not as much as Brooke.

Daniela Ramos: Half- Latina, half- American. Light black hair, but she always dyes her hair so it'll probably change, I don't know, tomorrow. She has chocolate brown eyes, but they're not as warming and sweet as… never mind.

Savanah Rutherford: Bleached blonde, but the way her hair is done it looks absolutely flawless and natural. She has bluish-green eyes and skin almost as pale as mine. She's extremely quiet, but once you get to know her, she's hilarious.

Kelsey Dixon: Honey blonde hair with dark eyes and very tan skin. She's short, has a cute boyfriend named Zac, but he's not near as cot as… never mind. She's quiet, and mainly stays quiet, but she talks to me and always takes my side.

Kiley Bennett: She helped Sarah (gross) and Brooke (even grosser) with that scheme I will never forget about. She has brown hair and brown eyes, also not very attractive. You get my drift here.

Taylor Davies: Short blonde hair with dark green eyes. One of my close friends that take my side in everything and stands up for me.

Cat Valentine: She has vibrant red hair and big brown eyes. She's pretty ditzy, but when it all comes down, she's my other best friend.

Those are pretty much all of them. Kirsten helped them too, but she wasn't really ever one of my real friends. She's one of the populars, along with the platinum blonde, Holly Bucia. They're look almost like sisters, but Kirsten has green eyes and Holly has dark blue ones. Holly is the one I despise the most out of the populars, and she helped with that 'problem.'

My mom is in the hospice with lung cancer. My dad lives in a huge house that I have to reluctantly live at because of my mom. There's that.

Alright, here's the scheme that was played out. Brooke, Sarah and Kiley have always hated me and I felt it. But now, when I let out one of my biggest secrets to my friends, they turn it into something else I don't even want to mention. They told him.

Beck Oliver.

They told Beck Oliver that I love him, which I do. But they told him because they knew he wouldn't want to date some freak like me. They knew he would go around telling everyone around school that the Goth chick likes him. But here's the catch.

He didn't.

Brooke, Sarah and Kiley waited. They waited for him to spill the gossip. But he never did. So, they got Holly and Kirsten in on it, too. Holly should've known better because she knows I already hate her as is. They went around saying how I love Beck Oliver. Telling everyone my secret. Beck was probably humiliated from all of the comments left on the post.

I hate almost everyone at this school now. The second I walk through the doors of Hollywood Arts, the pointing and the loud talking and the stares begin. And they never end. I'm only here so I can fulfill my dream of being a singer and actress. But everyone is making it so damn impossible. Their words about how I'll never make it are starting sink in. But I'll never leave. I can't leave. At least, not until my mom passes. She said I'm not ever allowed to give up like that because of what some chiz was said. She says actions speak louder than words. But, in some cases, words mean more than actions.

I'm Jade West.

And this is my story.

…

As Beck Oliver walks through the doors, all eyes turn on me and the hallway go silent. And something happens that I would never expect.

"Jade, will you go on a date with me?" Beck asks me.

I know, I'm the worst. It's short and has a cliffhanger. Review, please! :)
