Chapter One: The New Kid

"Notebooks."

"Check."

"Pencils."

"Check."

"Crayons."

"Mom I'm not a preschooler, I'm thirteen and I don't need crayons in high school." Cassie sighed.

"You don't know that." Cassie's mother Elena said annoying her and slipping the crayons in her book bag. "Just to be on the safe side"

That was her mother, always so protective. Cassie never liked that about her, it was her dad that was the laid back one.

"Ready to start your new life?" Elena asked Cassie as she helped her put on her book bag, not that she needed the help.

"Are you sure it's too late to be homeschooled?" Cassie asked not excited to go. She left a life of fame and treasure hunting for her parents moving her to a small-town Kentucky. She wanted nothing more than to just return to her normal treasure hunting life. "I was homeschooled back in Milwaukie."

"Yeah, but Oregon was a different story." Cassie's father, Nathan, entered the front house along with the family's pet Labrador Vicky. Vicky immediate came to Cassie. Cassie bent down and rubbed the frantic dog.

"Good girl." Cassie spoke as Vicky showed her love for rubs and rolled over. Vicky has been her best and only friend Cassie's every had and she was perfectly fine with that. Cassie was never good at socializing. Cassie put her attention back to her parents and saw her mother's hurry up face. Cassie sighed rolling her eyes giving Vicky a good-bye kiss and walking out the door with her parents following her.

Cassie entered the back seat of the SUV as Elena got in the passenger seat and Nathan entered the driver's.

"I can't believe it," Cassie's mother said. "Your first day of school."

"Yeah first day is always the worst." Nathan replied as if bringing up his own history. Elena playfully slapped Nathans arm.

"You should say negative stuff like that." Elena spoke to Nathan then turned to Cassie. "Don't worry it's going to be great, having new friends, seeing new things, just like me."

"Coming from a women who married a thief, yeah you had lot of friends" Cassie replied sarcastically.

"Hey, that thief made you" Nathan commented. Cassie sighed already knowing what he was going for.

"Do we really have to go for this?"

"Yes, and talking about sex in a young girl's life is important".

"I'm thirteen"

"Which is why we are having this conversation".

Cassie spots the school out the window. It was big and castle like. The high school is split into two buildings, both buildings at least had three floors to them, and a connector to tie them together. the car came to a gentle stop and Nathan still went on about the ideals of puberty.

"Bye mom, bye dad" Cassie spoke cutting Nathan off. She leaped out the car already prepared to make new friends.

"Wait sweetie!" her mom called out. Getting a few laughs and a few stares Cassie made her why back to the car. "You forgot your phone."

Cassie was handed the dinosaur phone that was older than both her parents combined. Cassie wasn't surprised, this happened every time Cassie wanted to go exploring. Cassie tucked it in her book bag. "Okay can I go now?"

"Yes, love you honey!" Her mom shouted out for her. "See you soon!" Cassie didn't say bye back, she was already so embarrassed that other students were staring at them. Nathan drove off and Elena blew her a kiss and with that she was alone for the first time in her life.

Students around her wore uniform. Males had silk blue pants, a silky jacket with the red knight symbol stitched below the left shoulder, black heel shoes, and a white shirt with a black tie. Females wore a blue plaid skirt, a white blouse, thigh high socks, black flats, and a black tie with the same blue silk jacket. Cassie had none of that on instead she wore jeans with holes on the knees an orange California shirt and a black jacket. She immediately stuck out.

"You must be new" Said a boy walking up to her. The boy was at least a year older than her and cunning with his blonde short hair and his sea green. Cassie pushed her black framed glasses up.

"Yeah, I am. It must be pretty obvious with my close."

The boy laughed. His laugh was soft and cute, Cassie's stomach felt like it did a summersault, she could feel her cheeks beginning to blush. "Don't worry," the boy exclaimed. "My dad always has extra uniforms."

"Your dad?"

"Yeah, our principle Mr. Flask." The boy said. "I'll show you."

Cassie trusted the handsome stranger and together they entered the school.

Cassie didn't watch that much T.V but what she could gather it was just as she imagined it. students in the halls most of the students hung around their lockers and talked others looked at Cassie like she was a freak. She was already and outcast.

"Don't worry about them," The boy walked with his hands in his pocket and his head up tall. He showed a sign of confidence to the other students even the students that looked like they were in their mid-thirties. "They just never seen a kid from California. It is a small town. We barely get newcomers."

"It wasn't my idea to come here anyways." Cassie said as they began walking up the marble steps of the school.

"Well I'm glad you're here, we need a good attraction to the school."

Cassie laughed harder than normal. She never laughed like that, she quickly covered her mouth. Cassie was blushing again, what was wrong with her? It wasn't that funny Cassie, keep it cool. She thought.

"Here we are!" The boy announced.

The main office was different than the rest of the school. The walls were made from oak and glass. Engraved on the top was capital letters that read: INFORMATION CENTER.

"Just go through the doors and speak to the lady at the front desk, she's nice."

"Wait you're not coming?" Cassie asked. Jason shook his head.

"I've got class. Can we talk at lunch?"

"Yeah" Cassie said too eagerly. Jason gave a smile and Cassie felt her heart beating fast. Jason left and Cassie turned to the information center. Her hands shook and she couldn't stop smiling. Was this the feeling. Was she in-

Suddenly a body exiting the center hit Cassie's as she is sent backwards on the floor. The boy's body fell next to her and the skate board he had glided across the floor. Before Cassie could say anything to the rude boy the boy had snapped at her. "Watch what you're doing!" The boy scrabbled up in a hurry lunging to his skate board and the door from the Information Center opens. A police officer and a man come out, but their too late, the boy already riding half way down the hall on his skateboard. The police officer ran after him as the man noticed Cassie on the floor.

"You must be Cassie Drake." Mr. Flask said helping her up. "Welcome to your first day at Dale High."
