Cassidy Davis, smart, beautiful, popular and witty. She's who every girl wanted to be and who every guy wanted to be with, and most importantly she's ordinary, well that was until her very own home town was invaded by supernatural serial killers, after that Cassidy's life was anything but ordinary.
"Cassidy wake up" the annoying noise of my younger sister reaches my ears, I then feel someone jump on my bed, "Cassssidy."
"Go away Cat" I groan picking up my pillow and putting it over my head to block out the sunlight and the deafening sound of my sister, but of course the little pest doesn't give up, no instead she continues to jump up and down on my bed.
"Mom says to get up or you'll be late for your first day back at school" Cat says, my younger sisters words jolt something inside of me as I remember what day it is. I then quickly get out of bed almost tripping over the clothes left on the floor from the previous night.
"Crap" I whisper harshly, dragging Cat out of my room, "go," I yell as she tries to push her way back into my room.
"But" Cat starts to say before she's cut off by the door shutting in her face. I run over to my closet and pull something out of it without bothering to see what it is, and out of nowhere my phone rings.
"Hey Lyds" I say as I struggle to put on my clothes on and hold up the phone at the same time.
"Hey Cass" Lydia responds, "are you okay? You sound strange", she asks me as I pull on my boots, the phone resting in-between my head and shoulder.
"Yeah i'm fine, just slept in" I tell her finally fully clothed.
"Cassidy I set that alarm on your phone for a reason" Lydia says clearly frustrated, I now wished I hadn't turned off the alarm, but of course I wanted to show her that I could wake up on time on my own without assistance.
"Come on Lydia you knew that probably wouldn't work, after all I sleep like the dead" I then tell her running a brush quickly through my hair trying to make it look at least presentable.
"True" she sighs, "I'll be at your place in about five minutes, be ready" Lydia says firmly before hanging up the phone leaving me a rushing mess.

"Nice to see you finally joined us" my mother Anna greets me as I walk down the stairs my bag almost tumbling out of my hands.
"Oh it's my pleasure mother" I say sarcastically while picking up a piece of toast from the bench and shoving it in my mouth.
"So first day back, are you excited?" Anna asks me filling up her mug with steaming coffee, I look at her and roll my eyes slightly, she asks me this every year and I always give her the same response.
"You ask me that every year and my answer is always 'no, why would I be it's just another year of unnecessary torture'" I reply filling up my own cup with coffee..
"But it is necessary in this day and age" Anna replies looking at me all parental, "Well I have to get to work and go and drop your sister off at school, is Lydia still giving you a lift?"
"Yep, she should be here any second" I say giving her a small smile shoving and other piece of toast into my mouth.
"CAT COME ON" Anna calls, a few seconds later Cat comes running down the stairs her backpack swinging side to side as she runs, "i'll see you later tonight."
"Kay bye" I say waving at them both as they make their way through the front door.

"Huh I expected you to look bad" Lydia says as I jump in the front seat coffee in hand and bag in the other.
"And I expected you to look good" I fire back a smile on my face because of course Lydia looks flawless.
"Touche" Lydia replies as she backs out of my drive way and onto the road.
"Ugh can you believe summers over already" I exclaim my head hitting the back of the seat, it's like it was only yesterday that school finished, now i'm being thrown back into the world to endure unnecessary torture.
"Yes I can, it says so on my calendar" Lydia jokes, and i'd laugh if she wasn't making fun of me, "how are you not happy about this?"
"Because it's just unnecessary torture to make our lives as miserable as possible" I tell her groaning slightly.
"Did you really just give me the speech you give your mother every year?" Lydia asks in disbelief.
"Lydia not all of us are geniuses with the Lacrosse captain as a boyfriend" I exclaim.
"Oh and life is so hard for you, it's not like your popular with every girl wanting to be you and every guy wanting be with you" Lydia snaps glaring at me out of the corner of her eye.
"It's not the same" I say anger showing in my voice.
"How isn't it Cassidy, you may be just as smart as me and you could have any guy you want, you could even have Jackson if you tried" Lydia tells me as she pulls into the school parking lot, luckily of her I don't want Jackass.
"Your right" I sigh when I realise there is truth in what she's saying, "i'm sorry Lyd's, i'm just freaking out a little."
"It's already forgiven, now come on we have an entrance to make" Lydia says giving me a smile before getting out of the car.
"Hey Lydia you look... like your gonna ignore me" Stiles Stilinski says as Lydia and I walk pass him.
"Lydia aren't you going to say something" I whisper to my best friend.
"Say something to what" Lydia says oblivious.
"Stiles Stilinski" I say, a part of me is angry at how she can just ignore someone but another part is impressed by the fact that she can do that and still have people worship her.
"Who?" Lydia then asks confused.
"Oh you know the boy who's been in love with you since, like, the third grade" I reply sarcastically.
"I have no idea who your talking about." She says, giving everyone she passes a gracious smile.
"Riiight" I sigh giving up, "Oh look, here comes Jackass."
"Jackson" Lydia corrects me before going to greet her boyfriend, yes Jackass the guy who used to be one of my best friends, that was until he started to completely ignore me, then again if he hadn't of started being a asshole I wouldn't of ever became friends with Lydia, guess i've got to give him some credit.
"Cassidy" Jackson says giving me his signature smirk causing me to want to punch him in the face like every other time I see him, he then puts his arm around Lydia.
"Jackson" I say plastering a fake smile on my face just to please my best friend when really i'd like nothing more than to vomit.
"Be civil you two" Lydia says catching the hostility.
"We're always civil, aren't we Cassidy" Jackson says.
"Yes we are" I reply my fake smile widening just as the bell rings, "I should get to class, i'll see you at lunch."

Class was boring as usual, I sat in my usual seat and, like always, scribbled all over my notebook with unreadable notes and small sketches, my boredom soon disappears when the class is disrupted by a new comer.
"Everybody this is Alison Argent she's new to town, I hope you will all do your best to help her settle in" the Principal says standing beside a tall brunette with brown eyes, huh she's pretty, in a doe eyed kind of way and as soon as Lydia see's her I will be welcoming her into our little group.
"Well Alison why don't you take a seat" the teacher tells her after the Principal leaves, she then walks in-between the desks and takes the free seat beside me, I turn to say hello and introduce myself but i'm interrupted by Scott McCall.
"Here" Scott McCall says as he turns around and offers the new girl a pen in which she accepts gratefully, I give him a strange look, how on earth did he know she needed a pen? She hasn't even said a word, interesting.
"Hey i'm Cassidy" I say walking up to Alison after class.
"Uh hi i'm Alison, which you probably already knew" Alison responds looking down in embarrassment causing me to let out a small chuckle.
"Welcome to Beacon Hills the town where nothing happens" I joke, Alison gives me a small smile.
"You say that like it's a bad thing" Alison says as we walk side by side down the crowded corridor.
"It is, try living in a town where nothing new happens, where they play the same old movies every week, a town where you could die of boredom" I exclaim, thinking back to the time that Cat and I had to watch the same movie at the cinema three months in a row.
"Well I guess I can't, seeing as though the longest I lived in a town is a year" she says a trickle of sadness showing in her voice.
"I'm guessing you move around a lot" I say awkwardly.
"Uh huh" she responds, before I have time to think up a response Lydia and Jackson appear out of nowhere.
"So the rumours are true we have a new student" Lydia says smiling at Alison with Jacksons arm once again draped around her.
"Yep" I say.
"I'm Lydia Martin and this is my boyfriend Jackson Whittemore" Lydia says introducing herself and Jackass.
"Alison Argent" Alison responds.
"So I heard" Lydia says looking Alison up and down smiling with approval, "You should definitely come to my party this Friday." and just like that Alison has the golden ticket into the inner circle, surprise, surprise.
"I can't, my parents make me do family night each Friday" she tells them, I smile at her remembering the times when my family used to have family night, of course that's before dad got deployed.
"How quaint" Lydia says, "but i'm sure they'll let you off if you tell them that your new friends invited you."
"I really can't" Alison tells her.
"Oh well, your lost, but your totally coming to watch the afternoon practice with us" Lydia says already ordering Alison around.
"Football practice" Alison says causing all three of us to chuckle, me the most, oh how she's about to be ripped apart.
"Please Football is for the minor leagues, Lacrosse is where it all happens" Jackson says an edge to his voice like he's actually taking it personally that the first thing that popped into her head was football and not Lacrosse.
"He's right Beacon Hills high has been the champions for the last couple of years thanks to a certain captain" Lydia says pressing closer to her smug boyfriend.
-
"Here we are" Lydia says sitting down in her usual spot on the bleachers, Alison and I then sit on either side of her.
"This is one of Lydia's favourite days of the year" I tell Alison as the coach rallies the team in.
"Why?" Alison then asks.
"Because it's try-outs, it's day in which we weed out the weak so only the strong with prevail" I joke.
"You make it out to seem barbaric" Lydia says keeping her eyes on her boyfriend as they all work themselves into a single line, "it's just a little friendly competition."
"And you make it seem like it's completely harm free" I fire back.
"Who's that?" Alison asks interrupting them while pointing at the guy in the goal.
"I have no idea" Lydia answers first.
"That's Scott McCall" I say rolling my eyes at Lydia seeing as though we've been going to school with Scott since elementary school .
"Who cares, he's unimportant" Lydia says waving it off, "It's about to start."
"Let the games begin."
