"Claire. Claire Danvers." I told the woman at the admin office for the fourth time that morning and right before I gave all hope on her, she exclaimed,

"Oh, here you are honey, I almost missed you. So you're first class is in chem 10. Here is your timetable for the day and a map to help you get around the school." As she handed the papers over to me the woman who looked about mid 40's to 50's couldn't help but ask me a question I heard on numerous occasions.

"Aren't you a little young to be a senior?" At this I couldn't help but notice her analysing me with her beady little eyes.

"Erm yeah I skipped a couple of grades," as I said this to her I couldn't help but blush. Ever since I was 10, people had noticed that I was smarter than average kids my age and by the time I was 13 I had skipped two grades and was in my first year of high school. Yeah, it was tough and usually I was so caught up on studies that I never managed to make that many friends. My only real friend was Elizabeth. She was quiet like me but even so we didn't really have much in common and she wasn't exactly tearful when I left our school.

"Okay then honey, well I hope you enjoy your days here at Morganville High School." And with that I left to my first lesson, until I walked straight into something or someone. Looking up I saw a tall girl who could be a model any day. She looked about 5'8", with long, luscious looking brunette hair that reached down the middle of her back. Her body was what any teenage girl would die to have and she was wearing a blue denim mini skirt with black heels and a low cut white tank top. Not really what you'd imagine someone in high school to wear. I looked up to see she was with two other girls all three were staring and smirking.

"Watch where you're going freak, wouldn't want to get your mommy called in for something bad happening would we?" she said while mockingly patting my head.

"Sorry but you are?" I called back there was no way I was going to show her that I was intimidated by her.

"I'm Monica Morrell and you're in my way," the queen bitch replied. I stayed set in my place. Monica looked down at me, her eyes starting to narrow.

"I said move freak or regret it later!" I looked up at her but deciding she wasn't worth my time I slowly walked away. It was only my first day of a new school I didn't want to make enemies already. As I walked over my shoulder I looked back to see Monica and her two Monickettes laughing.

Shaking my head I walked out the door of the office with my head down studying the sheets of paper the woman at the office had given me, so it came as a shock when somehow I'd managed to be on my ass on the floor of the school with my sheets everywhere but in my hands.

"What the hell." I whispered looking around confused, that was until a tall muscular boy was helping me up. He had brown shaggy hair with sun kissed skin. Looking at him I noticed he was wearing a Nirvana tee with a pair of baggy jeans.

"You okay?" he asked me giving me a dazzling crooked smile I bet managed to make every girls heart skip a beat.

"Erm yeah, sorry about that I wasn't really looking where I was going." He handed me my papers and stuck out his hand saying,

"I'm Shane."

"Claire." I said while shaking his hand. Oh they were really soft and warm...and Claire you really have to stop thinking about that.

"Well, ill see you later then Claire," Shane said while walking off to his class.

"Erm yeah bye," I replied a little too late as Shane had already gone. Well this just made Morganville a little more interesting.
