Chapter One
I was walking in the park. Little kids were swinging and running around everywhere. I was not my normal cheery self; I had just caught Josh cheating on me. With DeeDee! Well they were just hugging, but I knew that DeeDee had a huge crush on Josh. I knew that I would get over Josh but at that moment I just wanted to cry. I told myself that I wasn't because I was stronger than that. Then the strangest thing happened. Some guy walked up to me. He had dark hair and broad shoulders, but what struck me were his eyes. They were like two emeralds looking at me… with concern?
"Are you okay?" he asked me. At first I was kind of shocked. I mean I was just walking around; it wasn't like I had collapsed while bawling my eyes out. Yet somehow he saw me. That really surprised me most of the time people could just run into me without seeing me. I wasn't that pretty, and I basically just looked average with my light brown waist-length hair and blue eyes.
"Um, yeah I'm fine. I just um… haven't had the best day." I struggled to get out. I was still in shock that he saw me.
"Well you look kind of sad. So what happened to make you so down?" And for some odd reason I told him about what happened. I just felt comfortable with him. We walked around for about a half hour before I thanked him and started to leave.
Then suddenly he called out to me, "Hey you never told me your name!"
I turned around and smiled, "Cammie. And yours?"
He just smirked and said," You'll find out soon enough." What the heck was that supposed to mean.
BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP!
I jumped up and almost fell out of my bed. Wait! That had all been a dream. I never knew that I had an imagination big enough for anything like making up some incredibly HOT guy. Now all of the events from yesterday came rushing back. Wow, Josh really did cheat on me. Well now I have to look super good at school today.
Ugh, time to get ready for school. I absolutely do not look forward for getting ready for school. It is all because of one of my best friends Macey. If I came to school without at least spending an hour getting ready she would kill me. Somehow she always knows exactly how long I took getting ready, like she is a spy or something. I got out of bed and took a shower. I came out and put a couple products in my hair. Macey always says that, "The straightening balm just makes your hair look so soft and silky after you have dried it." Whatever. I put it up in a towel on my head so it would dry a little while I did my makeup. I just put on light makeup; I can't stand to have a whole bunch of gook on my face. After that I took my hair down and dried it. Since it was only 6:30 and I didn't have t be at school till 7:45, I decided to curl the ends of my hair and pull the curls out for a wavy look on my first day of school. Afterwards I walked out of my bathroom with my robe on and looked in my closet. I decided on wearing a cute tank top with a loose sleeveless jacket that looked like it should be tied at the waist with the long sides but I didn't tied them. I liked them hanging down. I also had on dark wash skinny jeans and some nice leather boots that were on scrunchy on the sides. My mom had bought for my birthday last year, I absolutely loved them. I looked at the clock, I had taken one hour and seventeen minutes, now I was proud of myself.
I walked downstairs to see my mom, and my twin brother, Grant, sitting at the bar eating breakfast. I warmed up some frozen waffles, because there was no way that I was going to eat what my mom had cooked for breakfast, my mother could not cook, at all. I quickly ate those and drank some milk, and I asked Grant if he was ready to go yet.
"Oh Granty," I knew that my nickname for him would annoy him, "I'm ready to go."
He just glared at me for a little bit before he said, "Okay little sis let's go."
It was my turn to glare at him now. He just smiled innocently. He was only older than me by seven and a half minutes yet he never let me forget it. I silently grabbed my keys and went to get my backpack. When I came back downstairs I went and hugged my mom. She quietly whispered into my neck," Good luck today Cammie." I just smiled at her, as if to say "Thanks, I'll need it."
Grant and I walked out and went to my car. Grant started whining," Why can't we take my car todayyyyy. I don't wanna show up on the first day with my little sister driving meeee. I just rolled my eyes and pushed him to the passenger side, typical Grant. But he knew that I loved him.
We got in my 2009 red Mustang GT convertible. It was a nice day so I put the roof down. When we got to the school like five minutes later I found a parking spot right up front since we still had twenty minutes till the bell would ring. Grant and I went to the office. When we walked in there was a mousy looking woman sitting in the front desk.
When we got to her desk she said, without looking up, "Hello, what can I do for you today?"
Grant and I said at the same time, "Yes we're a couple of the students transferring from Blackthorne Academy." We looked at each other and nodded. We do that a lot, I guess it's a twin thing.
You might be wondering, what the heck is Blackthorne. Well you see Blackthorne is where Grant and I used to go to school. Until it flooded and since it was so old the city council decided to just tear it down. Now all of the students from Blackthorne are coming here to Gallagher Academy. Unfortunately that includes Josh and DeeDee. Fortunately that includes all of my best friends, Liz and Jonas, but we'll talk about them later.
She just said," Okay names?"
I said without hesitation," Grant and Cameron Morgan." She looked through a big pile of yellow folders until she found our names. She handed them to us then continued working. I looked in my packet and saw a map, a rulebook, and a schedule. I pulled out the schedule and looked at it, memorizing it.

Guide for first day- Zachary Goode
Hmm… I wonder who Zachary Goode is. Oh well, I guess I'll find out. I glanced over at Grant's schedule and was super excited because his schedule was the exact same as mine, except his said, "Guide for first day- Rebecca Baxter." I was excited then I remember the more classes I had with Grant the more I would never get to talk to any guys. I love Grant but he also loves to play the overprotective older brother. Josh was lucky he only got beat up twice before Grant let me go out with him. I was so surprised when he still wanted to go out with me after all that. I sighed; wow I really need to just move on. I still hadn't told Grant that Josh and I had broken up. I knew for a fact that I could never tell him why we had broken up.
I turned to Grant and said," Oh yeah and Grant there's something I need to tell you that I'm sure you will be happy to hear."
"What?"
"Josh and I broke up yesterday. So please don't deliberately go talk to him or anything okay?"
"Yeah sure whatever you say, but why did you guys break up?" he said just a little too happily.
"We just knew that nothing was really there." I lied smoothly. He just nodded silently.
At that exact moment fate decided to make me very uncomfortable as Josh and DeeDee walked in, holding hands. I just kept walking proudly in the opposite direction. Who cares if they got together not even a full twenty-four hours after we broke up? I know I don't.
Then I heard over the intercom," All Blackthorne transfer students please come to the gym now to meet your guides." Then I heard a click. Grant and I made our way over to the gym. When we got there a short black-haired woman to line up and tell her the names of guide so that we can be paired up. I told the woman Zachary Goode and she called for him to come. All this time I was studying my shoes, and when I looked up I saw a pair of eyes that I thought I only could see in my dreams.
