Set a year after heaven sent.
I had just moved into a new state and a new high school, my parents have moved me before- many times- but I wanted this time to be different I wanted to be accepted.
Last time I got to my new school and found that everyone hated me, just because I wore a black tee .
The school system is so fragile it's stupid, you say one word out of line or even wear the wrong scarf then you are shunned for the rest of your days.
I would be lying to you if I said that my family was rich but we make do. My dad has just opened a store in the main high street, which is amazing compared to 2 years ago when we were hungry on Christmas. I hope I'm not the outsider 'new' girl again.
"Cathy, get your butt down here now!" screamed my sister Lydia. An annoying brat who just so happens my supposed twin.
We are nothing alike I am a skinny pale bland person and she is a moron with a curvy figure and looks like an orange.
I not surprised that people always are friends with her and not me, I don't really speak much, I if can get away with it.
" Caaathyy dad wants to talk to us before our day at our new school" I plod down our creaky stairs, oh crap it's our first day , great this is going to be fun. Not.
"Right girls I want you to be good, Cat make friends Lydia don't be mean to Cat. And have a fab day."
Like that's gonna ever happen. Lydia bolts out the door in her red heels while I shuffle along in my pumps. I wonder who they will pick me or bubble brain.
"What's the school called again dad?"
"Errr.. It's a catholic one you have to ask your ma for all the details" then Lydia completely butted in and said "Omg, but that's like nun's and stuff." I sat there in silence scowling at the window and any unlucky passers by. I don't like nuns or priest they are too happy clappy and religion this and controlling that and if you aren't good then you'll go to hell.
I gasped when I saw the school it looked like a museum. Not in a good way either, I had to keep reminding myself I wasn't in a period drama that this was a school.
I reluctantly got out of the car with my sister and looked at the people around me. Would they hate me like so many others before?
"Er what now ?" I asked stupidly, and Lydia looked at my wickedly and replied
"I pick my next boyfriends" I glared at her and ignored her. In the past she has had a reputation to being the 'bicycle' of the class even though she is still as pure as the snow. Well she can't be that stupid can she?
I saw a few people who looked friendly and one of them even came up to us, but then went off with Lydia and started comparing brands and shoes and by that time Lydia had blurted out her whole life history and only saying that she was a cheerleader a million times. A whistle went off and the girl Kelly pulled Lydia over into a line. I didn't want to look like a puppet following my sister, so I just stood still and waited.
The girl then came back and dragged me and hissed in her high pitched voice
"What are you retarded or something?, come on"
While my sis watched with a smirk. I looked around at my peers hoping that no one was watching only a albino girl with a
boy next to her. Her other friend was facing the other way. I smiled she smiled back but then turned away to talk to her friends.
A few boys came over to talk to Lydia and Kelly so I moved away, some of them were hot and some geeky. Not that I can talk.
And then the world stopped. I saw him, with his tanned skin- my heart beat got faster-, a tight white polo showing off his muscular arms -my palms went sweaty- and most of all his bright blue eyes.
And then I hit him.
