Hello darlings! So… okay, yeah, I'm kinda in a rut with "Ruby Eyes" and "ADR" at the moment. I've been reading a lot of high school stories (some of the good ones by BeltOfVenus with "Don't Leave Me Hangin' and the sequel "Never Letting Go", gamerprincess13 with "Gray Flame", Punk Rock Kitsune with "Love Has No Boundaries" and the sequel "Love Has No Limitations", Thunder Croft with "Mobian Mean Girls" and the sequel "So This is Love?", and Sonamyluver718 with a variety of stories). Add that to some pleading from my sister to make one, I finally caved and started writing my own high school fanfic.

I know there are a lot of them on here, but who cares? There are some really good ones out there (like the ones listed above) and I hope that this one will be among them. Sure, there will be some similarities like the love drama, and then there will be some differences, like the mean girls, the new student, and other details. It'll also have 5 OCs: Robyn, Chaos, Zoey, Alustriel, and Kelly. There will be mentions of other OCs, like Sapphira and several other OCs from the Ohana, but that's it. I will only be using the five listed above.

Obviously, this will be AU from "Ruby Eyes" and "ADR". Different relationships, different ages, different personalities. Please don't give me a hard time about it.

Anywho, let's go~!

Disclaimer: I only own Robyn, Zoey, Alustriel, Kelly, and the plot. Mentions of Sapphira and any other OCs belong to their owners respectively. Chaos belongs to Chaotic hedgehog. Songs belong to their respective artists. This will remain the same for future chapters unless something else comes up.

Prologue

Hey old friend, thanks for callin'

It's good to know somebody cares

Yeah she's gone, but I don't feel like talkin'

It might be just too much to bear

To hear somebody say it stops hurting

Or to hear somebody say she ain't worth it…

'Cause you don't know her like I do

You'll never understand

You don't know what we've been through

That girl's my best friend

And there's no way you're gonna help me

She's the only one who can

No, you don't know how much I've got to lose

You don't know her like I do…

I can't forget, I'm drowning in these memories

It fills my soul with all the little things

And I can't cope, it's like a death inside the family

It's like she stole my way to breathe

So don't try to tell me I'll stop hurting

And don't try to tell me she ain't worth it…

'Cause you don't know her like I do

You'll never understand

You don't know we've been through

That girl's my best friend

And there's no way you're gonna help me

She's the only one who can

No, you don't know how much I've got to lose

You don't know her like I do…

Ohhhhhh…

Not like I do…

You don't know her like I do

You'll never understand

You don't know what we've been through

That girl's my best friend

There's no way you're gonna help me

She's the only one who can

No, you don't know how much I've got to lose

No, you'll never know how much I've got to lose

You don't know her like I do…

Not like I do…

-Brantley Gilbert: You Don't Know Her Like I Do

This song perfectly describes the relationship between him and I. No one knows me like he does, except maybe for my family. We've been close since we were little kids. He knows that I prefer wearing jeans and t-shirts, and I know about his ability to be a smart-ass. He's willing to put up with my random shenanigans and I'm willing to put up with his slightly player ways. He's like my second brother; I'm like his second sister. I've told him all my dark secrets, and he's been there in my times of need.

Well… up until recently, that is.

See ya in chapter 1!
