Disclaimer: I don't own anything…

Author's Note: Okay I had to write a story for my friend and after I had finished it I realized that it would make a good fanfiction. I also read this article on writing fan fic, I know I'm such a nerd, but I think it helped. For example my posts have gotten longer and the ideas are flowing better. I hope you enjoy it.

Chapter 1

"Is it possible for something to be so boring? I mean he must practice it or something…" Ashley whispered silently to the brown haired girl beside her while tuning out the History teacher. The girl chuckled.

"Oh yes there is a weekly seminar," she said sarcastically to her friend. Ashley's head shot up and a look of triumph crossed her features.

"Ah- hah I knew it El! I knew that teachers have been plotting to take over the world one classroom at a time, slowly boring every unsuspecting student to death." Ella just rolled her eyes used to Ashley's rants.

"Shush! Maybe if you're quiet we could actually learn something!"

"Is that what we're here to do?" the brunette inquired and began to study her fingernails a bored expression on her face. The grey-eyed girl beside her just shook head and tried to change the subject.

"Hey I was wondering if you wanted to go out with me tonight to a party I heard about," Ella said while fiddling with her pencil it was a sure sign that she was stepping outside her boundaries.

"Why Miss Elizabeth Grace," Ashley said in a false surprised voice ignoring the wince from her friend when she used her full name, "A party on a school night? How very rebellious of you!"

"Shut up Ashley Marie," Ella replied a sharp tone in her voice, "Fine if you don't want to go with me," the brunette shrugged her shoulders. She knew that Ashley would never miss a chance to party.

"Now, now," Ashley said quickly, "I never said that. Of course I'll go anything to get out of this stupid uniform…" she grumbled tugging at her clothes as though they were suffocating her body.

"I happen to like the uniforms," Ella said an offended look on her face.

"That's because underneath that goody-two-shoes exterior there is a slutty little catholic schools girl," Ashley growled playfully. Ella smacked her arm not to hard but hard enough to catch the teacher's attention.

"Girls is there something you would like to share with the class?" the teacher asked raising his eyebrows.

Ashley opened her mouth to undoubtedly make a smart ass remark but before she could say a word Ella stepped down hard on her foot causing only a high pitched squeak to come from her mouth.

"Mr. Salcedo we were just discussing how Ashley feels like a slut in this uniform," Ella said casually trying hard not to laugh at the shocked look on her friends face. Only Ella could get away with this. Her father was in a very important position and no one from teacher to principal could even touch her.

The history teacher looked as though he was having a very difficult time not scolding the girl.

"That's…nice," he said through clenched-teeth. Ella looked at him and smiled a very innocent smile.

"No it's not that's the point Mr. S…"

"I see…" Mr. Salcedo's face was screwed up in pain and the vein in his neck throbbed painfully. Everyone could tell that he was doing his absolute best to keep from screaming at the Mayor's daughter.

He was saved as the bell rang signaling the end of fourth period. AS the students rushed to get out of the classroom Mr. Salcedo grumbled to himself, "Thank God…"

Feeling scared was an emotion that the tiny blonde was used to. She clutched her arms tighter around her chest and stared out of the window of the moving car. This city was so new to the girl in the car.

"Spencer are you okay?"

"Yeah thanks Glen," Spencer said appreciatively surprised by this concerned side of her older brother.

"I didn't really care I was just scared because there were no smart ass remarks coming from your mouth," he said his tone immediately changing. Spencer ignored him knowing that he really had meant it.

"Shut up ass," the blonde stated just to make him feel better.

Silence fell in the car again.

Silence is something the Carlin family had gotten used to. Ever since Clay the adopted brother had died in a car crash the family didn't really talk. They didn't even protest when their mother had told them that the family would have to move to Los Angeles.

For Spencer it was a new beginning, a way to forget, even so that didn't mean she couldn't be a bit scared.

St. James. A quaint Catholic School in the center of L.A and the Carlin children's' new school. It hadn't surprised Spencer when her mother had told them that this would be where she and her brother would be attending.

"Spencer, Glen in L.A you will be attending St. James a nice little Catholic School…" Paula said to her children. Glen scoffed.

"For nice little Catholic kids right mom?" Spencer looked at him and nodded in agreement.

The Carlin mother had this interpretation of her children. In her mind they were nice Catholic children who followed every single rule that they were giving. This was not the case at all at least not for Glen. Spencer had her outburst but most of the time she was shy and kept herself out of trouble.

Sometimes Spencer realized her family didn't even see her. She could stand in a room for minutes and her family wouldn't notice her. No one noticed her.

When she first discovered she was invisible she was very upset and did everything she could to change that. Over time however she began to not care and soon faded slowly into the background.

And this was exactly what she was expecting from this new school. As Dennis parked the car in the school parking lot she slowly surveyed her new school.

The parking lot was next to the quad and it was obviously lunch time as the students were crowded around the tables. This school Julia observed was the segregated in the same way as our old school. There were the jocks, the cheerleaders, the nerds, the Goths, and any other group you can think of.

'Oh yeah I'm going to fade just fine here…'

Julia turned to say goodbye to her brother but was not surprised to see that he had already left the car. She sighed and opened the door to begin her first day at St. James Academy.

"This can't be happening! It just can't," the Latina raged as she pushed her head even closer to the mirror in the bathroom.

"Calm down Madison…" Sherry sighed and leaned against the tiled wall.

"Calm down! Clam down Sherry look at this zit it's the size of my grandfather's nose and that is pretty fucking big! Ay dios mio," Madison screamed fanning her face with her hand. Sherry groaned and removed herself from the wall to walk over to Madison not in the mood for one of Madison's tantrums.

"It looks fine…" Sherry began trying her best to not blow her cool around the girl. She had put up with self-absorbed Madison for every year in high school. She had followed her around like a lap dog and it was beginning to get on her nerves.

"Don't fucking lie Sherry," Madison interrupted. Sherry pushed herself away from the mirror.

"You're right Madison," she said to the Latina's surprise, "You're more right than you know. I don't care about your fucking zit and I'm really tired of your complaining…" Madison looked at her fury covering her face.

"Get out of here you bitch! Get the fuck away from me!" she screamed at the surprisingly calm girl.

"Gladly," Sherry retorted and headed towards the door but not before yelling to Madison first, "now you're all alone Madison. You may think you're top of the school being head cheerleader and all but people are beginning to see you for what you really are, an attention seeking whore," she slammed the door of the bathroom hard on the shocked cheerleader's face.

-------------------------------------------------------

Spencer looked around confused she couldn't seem to find the main office and it was now beginning to annoy her. She was mumbling to herself about how confusing the new school was when someone barged into her knocking her firmly to the ground.

Surprisingly she didn't make a sound, not one grunt of pain or anger. Instead she just got up and tried to continue on her way. She would have gotten away too if the person she had barged into hadn't grabbed her arm.

"Hey wait!"

Spencer groaned on the inside and turned to face the offender. She observed the girl carefully slowly taking in her brown hair and eyes.

"I'm sorry for banging into you it's been a long day," the girl shrugged but her words were sincere. Spencer was surprised by the girl's apology. She was sure that she was going to end up getting bullied by this girl but instead got kind words.

"Hey you're new here right? Haven't seen you around," the girl questioned. Spencer nodded her head and croaked out an answer.

"Yeah I'm new my name is Spencer I just moved here from Ohio…" Spencer replied.

"Wow that's a long way from here you must miss it. I'm Sherry," she reached out a hand to shake Spencer's a smile on her face. The blonde accepted it appreciatively and returned the smile.

"It's nice to meet you…"

"Yeah," the bell rang interrupting the girl's conversation, "I'll see you around okay Spence?" the blonde nodded still amazed that this girl would talk to her. No one would ever talk to her.

Well that is the first chapter!
