School, ugh.

Vanessa frowned as she slammed her locker shut. Everything was just so…dirty! The lockers were rusted and the paint was peeling off EVERYTHING.

She shuffled her way to her first class, history.

"Hello, Miss Alec! Should I send you a bull to take you to school or are you always this late?" asked a Southern accent from a very tall man with a deep tan and cowboy everything. Vanessa replied politely as she tried to hold in her disgust,

"Sorry, Mr. Smithson."

"Now, giddy up and git o'er there next to Zac Dallas."

Zac Dallas jerked his head up as his golden brown hair flung around his face. Vanessa secretly was pleased because he was the cleanest of them all and he was also the cutest.

Vanessa made her way through the squeaky [and tacky] tile floors and collapsed heavily onto the dusty desk.

"Nice to meet cha," Zac said in a slight Southern accent as he flashed a toothy grin.

Vanessa smiled weakly in response.

After class, Zac met up with Vanessa.

"Hey Princess!" Zac called as he ran to catch up with Vanessa.

"Princess?!" Vanessa snapped.

"Yep. You sure act like one. City girl."

"CITY GIRL? Being in the city is WAY better than being in this stinky farmland crap."

"Farmland crap. Slow down, suga'. This is my HOME. I'm adapted."

"Explains why you're so rugged."

"Hmm, why don't you take a date and I get to know you better?" Zac asked eagerly.

"No way in-"

"Honey, don't 'ave to be so mean."

"I-" Vanessa paused. She had never been called mean in front of her face. She had heard if from backstabbing socialites, and it had never hurt so spun away and run off.

"Mom!" I'm home!"

"How was school, Honey?" "Great," Vanessa lied as she put on a fake smile. She made her way upstairs where she found an IM from…

Zdall123: hey princess.

THE NERVE!

Vanessa typed a furious message.

BabyVAH1: You got some nerve. How did you get my email anyway?!

Zdall123: My dad works for the school.

BabyVAH1: YOU STUPID.

Zdall123: -smirk- gotcha good.

BabyVAH1: You better watch your back.

Zdall123: I already am.
