"Okay, good morning everyone on your first English class. This sophomore year is the toughest part of your school life because there are many colleges looking for you and you have to show your best." Mr. Fitz said in front of the class once all of the students seated on their respective tables. "One more thing, you guys are getting a new friend right here." He said while looking at Paige's direction who sat down on the corner of the classroom, looking nervous. "Ms. McCullers, would you like to introduce yourself?"

Paige rubbed her head nervously and stood up. "S—Sure" She walked to the space between teacher's desk and student's tables, positioning herself in the middle before facing off the crowded students who already started whispering to each other.

Paige's eyes caught the reassuring stare from the middle of the crowd none other than from Emily Fields. Paige gulped nervously before she finally found her voice again. "I…Uh…My name is Paige McCullers, I'm from New York state high school and I just moved here, so I guess, nice to meet you all." She said awkwardly and nervously.

Mr. Fitz cleared his throat and looked to all of his students. "Maybe you guys want to ask questions for our new friend here? Trying to get to know her?"

Paige silently gulped. She never really wanted to be asked too many questions but she guessed that she don't have any other choices right now.

One of the boys raised his hand. "Hey Paige, I'm Noel, just wanted to ask. Why do you move from such a big modern city to a complete small town? Are you getting some trouble there?" He asked curiously.

"Err, no actually. I'm with my aunt just need a new view of scenery and I guess Rosewood is a nice place to live" Paige said, half lied.

Noel smirked, Paige sensed something strange when she looked at him but she just shrugged it off until another boy raised his hand. "I'm Lucas, do you do sport? It's seemed like you do one." He said while observing Paige's muscular body.

"I do skateboarding since 14 and swimming since I was 15, other than that I can try." She smiled to the boy.

"Skateboarding?! That's cool!" Noel exclaimed. "Maybe you can teach me sometime!"

Paige wasn't sure if he was asking her to be his teacher or ordered her to do that. "Sure, maybe sometime" She forced a smile.

"Okay guys, I think Paige's skateboarding time will have to wait. Thanks Paige, you can go back to your seat. We should start this lesson. Open up your textbook please." Mr. Fitz said suddenly.

Paige was relieved that she didn't have to standing there much longer and looked like an idiot. Paige walked back to her seat while he glanced at the tan girl who caught the gaze. They both smiled coyly before Paige sat down on her chair and took out her textbook.


The first period bell ring loudly as a sign that the class has ended. Mr. Fitz gathered his stuff and shouted at the students. "Don't forget to read the book and write down your opinion".

Most of the students just nodded and walked out quickly from his class while Paige still scanned her schedule and smashed her eyebrows in confusion. Emily glanced at the confused girl and walked up to her. "Need any help?"

"Err…Um…No…I got it." Paige said nervously and then smiled to the girl.

"Paige! Can you come here for a sec?" Mr. Fitz called, surprising both the girls.

Paige walked up to the teacher and shot the other girl a sweet smile of her own. "Yes, Mr. Fitz?"

"The guidance counselor is on his office; you can go there and talk to him for the next period. Don't worry, he is a nice guy." The teacher smiled to her. "Emily, would you take Paige to the guidance counselor's office?" He asked to the tan girl who still stood behind them.

Emily smiled coyly and nodded.

"So, I guess, you can leave now." He said to both of the girls.

"Thank you Mr. Fitz." Paige said sincerely before heading out from the classroom followed by Emily behind her.

"What are you going to do in the guidance counselor's?" Emily asked once they both were outside the classroom and began to walk to the guidance counselor's office.

Paige nervously played her backpack sling and tucked one of her hand on her jeans pocket. "I…Uh…Just want to sign up for after school class and maybe talk about my current schedule"

"Oh." Emily nodded. "Okay, um…this is the guidance counselor's office." Emily said while pointing to the brown door next to her.

Paige looked at the door and then back to Emily. "Um…Thanks Emily, I guess….I'll see you around." Paige smiled shyly to the girl, somehow feeling something is gone when she know that the girl will leave her for now.

"Yeah, I'll see you around." Emily smiled coyly to Paige before turned around to different direction. It didn't go unnoticed by Paige that the girl slyly glanced at her and when they gaze meet, they both smiled awkwardly like idiots.

Once Emily was disappeared throughout the corridor, Paige released a heavy breath and knocked at the guidance counselor's office.

"Come in!" A male voice shouted from inside.

Paige reluctantly turned the doorknob and opened the door. She saw a tall black grassy haired man holding a book on the corner of the room.

"Ahh, Ms. McCullers!" He exclaimed. "Come in! Have a seat." He pointed at the sofa in front of him.

Paige closed the door and took a seat in one of the soma in front of her. "Thanks Mr. Gary" She said softly.

"Please, call me Jesse." He said calmly and then smiled. "I'm really sorry that I came late this morning, do you have fun at Mr. Fitz class?"

Truthfully Paige not paid much attention to whatever Mr. Fitz explained, since she was busy staring at the beautiful tan girl she met earlier who was sat down 2 tables away from her. Actually, she tried to deny it at first but she can't help it, considering that the girl has a stunning smile she's ever seen. Sure it is that Paige was caught off guard when Emily caught her staring at her, but she just smiled which made Paige more nervous and suddenly awkward.

"Paige?" The guidance counselor's snapped his fingers.

"Eh? Sorry." Paige said nervously.

"I get it that you maybe feel nervous on your first day but you will feel comfortable once you make a few friends. So, that's why I called you here" He said while rubbed his chin.

"Yeah, I know. Do you have any recommendation about what class that should I take?"

"Well, obviously, looking at your certificate, I can tell that you are indeed very well experienced in skateboarding, am I correct?" He asked while slightly observing Paige's manner.

Paige nodded. "Yes, I am."

"As far as I know, there is no skateboarding class in this school, which is why I really deplore it considering your great talent in it but that doesn't mean you can't take another class, of course." He said calmly.

Paige formed a small smile. "So, what do you think will fit me in?"

"I was looking at another certificate and I found your swimming achievement back when you were 15, you literally broke the record and get out as a champion…"

"But I didn't swim again last year." Paige said, cutting off the counselor's words.

"I know, that's why I consider you to take this class. Rosewood sharks had been working really hard this season and I think you will be a great fit in there. People there are very friendly, I'm sure you are going to make friends any second." He said while looking at Paige seriously.

Paige ducked her head and sighed before finally met Jesse's eyes. "Okay, I think I will take that."

"Awesome!" He exclaimed. "Okay, I will talk to the coach and you can meet her after school to talk about your swimming schedule in the natatorium. For now, I think it will be good if we talk about your current schedule, in case you didn't really feel comfortable in it, shall we?" He asked, extending his hand, asking for Paige's schedule.

"Sure." Paige quickly handed her schedule to him and they talked about her schedule together until the bell rang again, ending the second period.


Paige was literally almost lost in her new school today, she cursed herself from being a socially awkward that made her somehow shy to ask people where is the direction to the natatorium. Luckily, she found her way to the gym and spotted a few girls wearing sharks jacket and they hair were damp and wet which indicate that they were from the pool.

Paige quickly walked to a blue double door which led her to a locker room with bunch of girls changing in front of her. Paige silently gulped and awkwardly rubbed her head while walking inside the locker room trying to find the coach. Some of the girls stared at her and start whispering to each other which made Paige more nervous than ever. Luckily, she bumped to a familiar face and they both stared at each other until the other girl decided to speak up first.

"Paige? What are you doing here?" She asked.

"I…Uh….Looking for the coach….to...uh…talk" Paige said nervously, cursing herself again for being nervous in front of bunch of people.

The girl smiled knowingly and quickly grabbed Paige's hand and led her deeper to the room. Paige's eyes widened once the girl opened the glass door and revealed a big indoor pools which she'd never seen in the past few months. The girl led her to a middle aged woman who sat down on one of the bleachers.

"Coach?" The girl called the woman which she immediately looked up.

"Yes, Emily?" She looked up to her student and realized that she had brought company with her.

"Someone is looking for you" Emily nudged Paige forward and slightly squeezed her hand to reassure her.

"Uh…Um…My name is Paige McCullers and I'm her because…uh…Jesse told me to meet you here…and…uh…talking about swimming." Paige said awkwardly. Emily did her best not to laughed at her new friend awkwardness which ended up failed and she chuckled loudly which made the other girl frowned.

The coach smiled. "I know who you are. Jesse came here and told me everything." She said to the nervous girl. "Emily, you can go change now." The coach said to the tan girl and she quickly nodded. Emily shot Paige an apologetic smile which she quickly returned.

"So, Paige, Jesse told me that you somehow nervous and I quickly get it when I saw you stuttered like that." The coach said; gently patted Paige's shoulder. "I want you to feel comfortable here and don't hesitate to making friends with the others. Once you know them, I can assure you that you won't be so nervous like that again. Okay?"

Paige nodded and smile at her new coach. "Well, I probably forgot about swimming but I think it won't be long until I remember it again"

"That's good. I saw your record when you were at Seattle and I'm completely amazed by that but I never saw you again after that, do you just give up on swimming for something else?" The coach asked curiously.

Paige gulped; it's obviously the same reason why she moved here. "My aunt told me to move again to new town." She said slowly.

The coach frowned. "Is that so? I hope you will stay here and do your best for us, okay?"

"Yes, coach." Paige answered firmly.

"Good." She smirked. "Okay, for your training, I can compare you to Emily's schedule, is that okay?"

Paige widened her eyes; she didn't know whether she has to be happy or nervous by hearing that. "Oh, um…Okay" She answered nervously.

"Good." The coach smiled to Paige before took out a piece of paper from her folder and gave it to Paige. "Here is Emily's schedule; you can ask her the detail by yourself. Make sure you feel comfortable here, okay?"

"Thanks, coach." Paige said sincerely.

"You're welcome. Now, you better go home." The coach shot Paige a smile before gestured Paige to get out.

Paige smirked before running towards the glass door to the locker room only to find it empty. Paige sighed in relief before she walked quickly to her locker and grabbed her skateboard.


Paige gathered all of her books from her locker and shoved it to her backpack before grabbed her skateboard and walked to her high school courtyard. Nicely enough for Paige that, nobody in sight were whispering to each other. Somehow she sensed that they were talking about her and it is not a good thing.

Paige sighed while staring at Emily's swimming schedule on her right hand. She suddenly remembered the last time she's been swimming. It's her first game back in Seattle when she was 15, her aunt was there and everybody cheered for her. Her aunt never saw her training, though but she believed that Paige is going to be awesome in the pool. Surely enough, once the game started, Paige's team almost left behind, but she firmly clenched her fist and dove into the pool once her teammates meet the edge of the pool. She swam like she never swam before, it seems only like two seconds for her until she met the other side of the pool and kicked the edge so she can swim back to where she was off. When she was get out from the pool, everybody cheered for her and called her "The Rocket Paige". Everybody seemed happy but her aunt, her face look concerned.

Once Paige got her gold medal, suddenly her aunt pulled her to the car and said to her that they are moving again and she is not allowed to swim again which destroyed Paige's happiness suddenly.

Paige never forget those memories, her happy moment always ruined by her aunt who always told her that they need to move, she surely sick of it but Paige is also grateful to have a nice aunt like her whom she loved like her own parent, which is why she always gave in if her aunt told her to move again, it's like no reason that she had to convince her aunt that they didn't need to move.

Paige put her skateboard down and slowly pushed herself while still staring at Emily's swimming schedule. She didn't realize that there are 4 girls in front of her who almost she hit.

"Shit!" Paige exclaimed and stopped the board with her feet but no such luck. There is a small hard rock that hit the front wheels of her board which made the board and Paige herself flying towards the 4 girls who just realized what was happened.

Paige quick reflex made her cartwheels and she successfully landed on her feet perfectly. The 4 girls gasped in awe as they realized what was happened. Paige still sensed something is wrong as she realized that her board still flying and almost hit none other than Emily Fields' face. She quickly ran and pulled Emily's left arm that made the tan girl involuntary wrapped her arms around Paige's wrist and Paige's arm wrapped protectively around the girl's back. Just in time before the board hit Emily's face, Paige grabbed the board with her right hand.

Everybody who was there to witness the heroic moment that just happened in front of their faces were left speechless at the view in front of them. Paige had her eyes met Emily's and her left arm wrapped protectively around the girl's back.

"Wow!" Hanna gasped in awe.

Paige and Emily quickly realized what they were doing and they quickly pulled away. Emily blushed while Paige awkwardly rubbed her head.

"Are you okay?" She asked worriedly.

"I—I'm fine." She said nervously.

"That was awesome." Spencer said, completely shocked.

"I'm sorry guys, I shouldn't have looked away while I'm skateboarding, are you sure you guys fine?" Paige asked, still feeling guilty about what had happened.

"We are fine, Paige" Aria said calmly.

"I'm sorry Emily, that board could have injured you." Paige said remorsefully.

"I'm fine Paige, really. Thanks for saving me." Emily said sincerely, giving Paige a reassuring smile.

Paige sighed in relief. "Okay, um…I'm sorry again…I think I'm going to go home now." Paige said nervously. "I promise I won't be distracted again while I'm skateboarding but please don't tell the teachers" She pleaded.

"We won't." Spencer said firmly.

"Thank you, guys. I'll see you tomorrow." Paige said nervously before pushed her skateboard and drove it home more carefully.

"Did you saw that romantic seed growing on Emily and Paige?" Hanna whispered to Spencer once Paige was out of sight.

"Han, please stop." Spencer scowled to the blonde girl.

"Come on! That heroic accident and the eye sexing? It's obviously a romantic seed Spencer!" The blonde whispered firmly to the slender brunette.

Spencer rolled her eyes in annoyance "Stop, alright? Emily still looked pale after that incident. We better focus on that." Spencer said firmly.

Hanna pouted before finally give in. "Alright." She shrugged.


Paige opened her front door slowly; still feel shocked about what happened earlier. She held Emily Fields in her arms and saved her from the blunt that almost Paige caused in her first day. Emily and her friends could die if she didn't catch that board on time. She shook her head and telling herself it is over. Paige sighed heavily before called her aunt.

"Aunt Anna! I'm home" Paige shouted, but getting no response.

Paige walked slowly to the kitchen but didn't see her aunt there. She shrugged it off and went straight to her bedroom. She dropped her backpack and her skateboard before flopped on her bed. Paige was about to close her eyes when she hear her aunt's voice in the backyard.

"No, I can't keep doing this. It will be the biggest lie I ever told to her." Her aunt said slowly, unaware of Paige who is listening to her conversation. "Look, I know you are trying to protect her too but she is my niece. I can't keep lying to her. Sooner or later you have to explain to her what was really happened that day, you understand me?" She said firmly to the other person on the line.

Paige scrunched her eyebrows in confusion. Whether they are talking about me?

"Listen, you need to come here and explain everything to her so we don't have to worry about anything that may come to her later. This conversation is over" Paige's aunt quickly hit the off button and headed back inside the house.

Paige quickly got out from her room and faced her aunt. "Auntie Anna? Something is wrong?" She said suddenly, startled the older woman.

"Oh my god, Paige! You scared me!" She said while rubbed her chest slowly.

"Who were you talking to?" Paige demanded.

Her aunt's eyes widened. "It's nothing, honey."

"It's more than nothing, auntie. I'm sick of it. You always backed off every time I asked you that. Who were you talking to? And what lies that you covered up from me?" Paige demanded firmly.

"Paige…." Her aunt sighed in frustration. "I can't tell you. It's hurt for me too. I promise that someone will come and tell you all of the questions you've been asking me."

"Is that so? What is this about?"

"It's the reason why we always moving." Her aunt said calmly.

Paige shook her head. "It better be a good explanation." Paige said firmly to her aunt before stormed back to her room.

Paige's aunt sighed before took out her phone and sent a quick message to someone.

We need to tell her Soon -Anna-


So, what do you all think? Let me now in a quick review... Thank you!
