Alright, before we get on with chapter 2 I just want to let you know that I will upload every Friday!

Zoey's POV

"BEEP BEEP BEEP!" Sounded my alarm clock as I slowly woke up. I turned over to turn off my alarm clock and looked over at a picture on my desk. It was of Mike and I one day at a water park. Before I moved we were best friend and our parents were close too so we would do things together all the time. Now I don't even talk to him anymore. Our parents used to call each other and keep us updated. However, one day my parents tried to call their house and the line had been disconnected. We figured they had gotten a new phone number but we didn't know it so that was the end of us ever talking together. When I moved I was six so I never had a cell phone number to give and sure we could write letters but my parents reason that it's to much time and effort so now we just never talk.

I look away from the picture and decide that I need to get dressed. No matter how much I hate school I wasn't going to be late. After getting dressed I did my hair, ate breakfast and brushed my teeth. Now it was time to go. Sighing, I said goodbye to my parents and walked out the door. I started walking to school but for some reason I just couldn't stop thinking of Mike. I wish he was still in school with me because that would make my day 100% better. School sucks for me, In my old school district my only friend was Mike but that was fine to me because Mike was all I needed. Then when I got to this new school there was nobody who wanted to befriend me. I tried so hard to be nice but all I did was find myself, sitting along at lunch, doing every project alone and just never having anyone to call a friend. It's so sad because I just feel lonely and since I am an only child I don't even have a sibling to call a friend. The only thing I can really call my friend is my pet hamster, Miss Puffycheeks. I got it after we moved as a, "I'm sorry you're being separated from your best friend but have a hamster to make it better" gift. They probably would have gotten me a dog if I wasn't allergic but a hamster is good too but I guess not when you don't have any other friends.

I was now approaching the school building and I was still 10 minutes early. I sighed, knowing I wouldn't have any friends to talk to while I was waiting for class to start. I decided that maybe I would be able to distract myself at my locker. I opened it up and got everything I needed. Then I started to try and find something to distract me. I looked at the pencil holder I had in my locker and decided to check to see if all my mechanical pencils had led. However, each of them had a thin piece of led come out of the top so I still had five minutes. I tried to find something else to distract me but it was useless so I just decided to go to my first class, history. I walked in the room and sat down in the back of the classroom as usual. I took out my journal and started doodling in it using a pink gel pen. I drew big hearts and random designs until I heard my teacher say, "Class, settle down. We have lots of plans for today. No time to waste! Today we are starting a project!"

Everybody moaned, including me. I just knew this would be another boring project that I would have nobody to work with and distract me when I get bored.

"And I will choose your partner," He continued as the whole class groaned again.

For me, this wasn't any better than working alone because since I'm so lonely I'm quite shy and most of the time the people I'm working with aren't so thrilled to be working with the loner of the class.

Our teacher started to list off names which I mostly tuned out until he said, "Zoey and Brad."

This was just great! I was being paired up with the biggest jock in school. I absolutely hate jocks. Not to mention, once the teacher said that the whole class started saying things like, "Ha, you have to work with Zoey the lonely!" or "Man, I feel bad for you. You have to work with that loner Zoey."

Already the day has come to a terrible start and there was a lot more to come.

Once the teacher said all of the groups he told us to plan with our partners.

Brad walked up to me and said, "Look, how about you do all the work and I'll get the credit" I wanted to tell him to do his own work but he was just so intimidating so instead I said, "Um, okay."

Then he walked away and started talking to his other friends leaving me to do the project all alone.

The rest of the day didn't go well either. In the rest of my classes I sat alone and was bored to death. In study hall and lunch I was also bored to death since I had no one to talk to. Overall, the day just sucked. Not to mention I had loads of homework!

Once I got home I decided to work on my homework. I went into my room and got out my homework. I decided it would be a lot better if I worked with the TV on so I decided to look for something good that was on. It took me a while but eventually I found reruns of a show I love to watch called Total Drama. they were replaying the first season and it was the episode where they all had to face their biggest fears. I loved this episode and now that I was satisfied with what I was watching it was time to start my homework.

After a while, the show went on to commercial and I heard the T.V say, "Do you want to be on the next season of total drama?" I though about it. Maybe that would help me make some friends! I decided to see what the commercial had to say.

"That's right!" A voice said that I realized belonged to Chris McLean who hosted the show, "We're going back to the island with totally new people! All you have to do is be 16 years of age and send us an audition on the total drama website telling us why we should pick you."

I was so excited. This would be great for me and I met the requirement of being 16. It was all so perfect. Forget my homework, I jumped out of bed and ran to find one of my parent. After a while, I found my mom and I asked her, "Mom, do we have a video camera?"
