I stand in front of my closet trying to decide what to wear. After we got home Monday my mom and dad had stern words to say to me, so now I have no choice but to go to this school for my senior year. I pull out a pair of indigo jeans, a black top, grey scarf and a black blazer; I walk over to my shoe cubby and pull out my favorite black Doc Marten black lace-up boots. I curl my hair into soft bouncy curls and do my makeup natural.
Lily, my beagle, follows me around like a duckling followers their mother. I hear a knock at my door and it's either my mom or my dad and I don't want to see them both so I just turn the volume up on my iPod deck. I lay on my bed and put a pillow over my head, I feel my bed sink in on the other side and look. It's my dad, his hair slicked back and tattoos plastered on his arms.
"What do you want?" I growl grabbing the remote to the dock and turning the volume down. He turns and faces me.
"I know you are upset right now that you have to go to school but you have to understand that your mom and I we want the best for you. Collins get that pillow off your head, you may be upset but the Collins I know wouldn't I want her to be messy." I sigh and throw the pillow off my head, he's right. "You are going to be a senior and you have passed by with grades from your home schooled teachers but you need to get out there but I'm willing to make a deal. If you still are miserable after Christmas break then you can drop out and I will still pay for your art school in L.A."
"New York." I corrected him smiling.
"Whatever, but I have to really see it, okay? Now go downstairs breakfast is ready then you have to go to school." He teases.
"Don't remind me." I roll my eyes, he laughs and kisses my forehead.
"I love CJ."
"I love you too dad." I sigh and grab my backpack by the bed and go down the stairs.
"Welcome to WWE High were every superstar takes there first step." Summer smirks to me as I get out of my car. I roll my eyes and look at her outfit up and down; she's wearing a black maxi skirt and light pink cami with gold Gucci sandals. "So how did the hunky pie taste? "She says wiggling her eyebrows. "BTW you look amazing!"
"Thanks, and his name is Dean and I guess he goes to school hear because my parents think I'm a five year old that needs to be watched so they hired him as my 'bodyguard'." I roll my eyes. The school is bigger than I thought, and nicer. I pictured a run down, smelly, gross gym that had dumpsters for lockers. A girl with very pale skin and black hair wearing a pencil skirt and leather jacket with studs ran into me. "Oh sorry, I didn't see you there."
"It's okay no one ever notices Paige," Summer laughs, when she notices that Paige hasn't moved she waves her hands in her face, "You can go on being a loser now." Summer says shooing her away. Paige rolls her eyes and walks to the entrance of the school. "What a freak." Summer hisses scrunching up her nose. I want to say something to Summer how it was just an accident but she will think I'm going insane. A bell rings and Summer sighs dragging me by the hand.
"Where are we going?" I ask trying to pull my arm out of her hands, she's gotten stronger.
"That's the first bell and you have to go get your schedule."
The phones are ringing off the hook when we enter the office, it smells like someone went around the room spraying it with Lysol and they used the whole can. A lady with long blonde hair and blue eyes with the name tag Mrs. Neidhart smiled up at me when we walked up.
"How may I help you?" She said sweetly. I recognize her she was one of my mom's co-workers; I think her name was Nattie or something. I place my freshly manicured hands on the counter and leaned in.
"Yeah it's my first day and I need my schedule, my name is Collins Brooks." I look around and some of the girls that are sitting behind the desk look at me laughing. If I learned anything from my mother, which wasn't a lot, it was how to intimidate someone. I tilt my head to side just like she did from when I watched clips with my dad, I gave them a cold, hard stare and they immediately stopped and turned around. Freshmen.
"Collins! Oh you have grown up so much since I last saw you. You were about maybe five or six but-oh my you look just like your daddy. How are your parents?" Mrs. Neidhart said cheerfully. I want to tell her that they are blood sucking demons trying to ruin my life and dreams, that my mom is trying to make me just like her and my dad can't stand up for himself anymore but I just smile.
"They are doing just fine, mom is the new C.O.O and dad is the interim head of the creative team." She smiles and nods looking back at her computer then back at me.
"So are you excited about your first day? Following in your parents footsteps?" No. No. NO! I want to smack the perky little smile off her face but I can't get in trouble on the first day because then that would mean no New York art school. She hands me my schedule, Summer left me minutes ago. Great, nothing like getting lost and a tardy on your first day.
"You could say that." I smirk and take the schedule out of her hands. "Thanks." I turn and push open the door, once I'm out in the hallway I stop and look at my schedule.

What kind of school is this? Where's my Trig, Art, Physics, AP Calculus, AP History, AP Latin? I sigh and crumble it up in my hand and shove it into my backpack. I look around and there's a clock on the wall that reads 8:32, great I'm late to first period and if the class is anything like it says then this should be really interesting.
"Well if it isn't the princess?" A voice says behind me. I turn around and look, there's Dean standing at the end of the hallway leaning against the wall. Cliché. I roll my eyes and stomp down the hall past him. I can hear him running up from behind me. "Hey, what do you have first period?" I turn around and tilt my head and narrowing me my eyes.
"Listen here I don't need you to follow me around and making sure I get to class on time because I'm not five. I'll tell my parents that you were a very good guide and helped me get to my classes on time and even sat with me at lunch and I will recommend you to Hunter so you can leave this place and get your career started, and then we won't have to see each other again, okay." He does something no one has ever done before when I tell them I'll talk to Hunter about them, He laughs. It's a good laugh, the kind of laugh that makes you want to laugh along too. Whenever a boy tries to get with me I always tell them if they just leave me alone I'll get them what they want they instantly thank me and I never talk to them again.
"Princess I don't need your help with getting Hunter to sign me, I told him I wanted to finish up here and then I would take his offer. I want to see your schedule because I want to make sure I don't have any classes with a snob like you, but since you begged me I'll show you to your first period." He holds his hand out and I think it's for me to take it but then I realize it's for my schedule. I grab it out of my bag and hand it to him, He is so hot I can't stop staring at him, he must think I'm a weirdo.
"Great we have 5 classes together. Gym, Submissions, Intimidation, Creative writing, and Public speaking; Come on Orton doesn't like it when I'm more than five minutes late."
