Hi, my name is Emily Ann Wilds. I am sixteen years old, and about 5'4''. I have an older brother, Dylan Wilds. He's about 6'7'' and way too over protective.

Why am I telling you all this? Because it's leading up to my story, a story of friends, romance and heart break. It helps if I start at the beginning.

We were forced to move to New Mexico because mom missed her 'hometown'. She was born in Nebraska. She was raised in Kentucky. She spent a year in New Mexico during her senior year. I guess that's just her sick twisted logic. So there we were New Mexico.

" I assure you Mrs. Wilds." The principal said.

" Eh, it's Miss Wilds." I rolled my eyes, mom and dad divorced, but she kept his last name, so that messed with everything, again, mom's twisted logic.

" Miss Wilds, I assure you, we have the best teachers, the best equipment and the greatest extra curricular. Do you two like sports?"

" Got soccer?" I asked. The Asian man nodded. " Then I'm set." I said, then blew a large bubble with my bubble gum.

" Yes, well, what about you young man?"

" Football, basketball and soccer." Dylan answered. I blew another bubble; it popped, extra loud, causing the principal to jump ten feet in the air.

" Very well, here's your homeroom. And I've already given you your schedules." He said then he walked off with mom. Dylan sighed and opened the door.

" Now as you all- yes?" a woman in purple… I think they're clothes, asked.

" We're new." Dylan explained.

" Oh, yes, class, we have to new students joining us, they are…"

" Dylan Wilds."

" Emily Wilds."

" Dylan and Emily Wilds. They came all the way from…"

" Down the hall." I said. She gave me the look from hell.

" San Francisco." Dylan jumped in.

" San Francisco." The lady repeated. " Now, go find a seat, I'm Mrs. Darbus." I blew another bubble and started to sit down. " Miss Wilds, spit out your gum. Bubble gum in the theater is extremely distracting."

" Umm… isn't this a classroom?" I asked.

" Yes, but it's also distracting in a classroom."

" Of course." I said and put the wad of gum on my Pinky then went and sat down in the only available seat, by two blonde kids, one girl one boy. The girl looked super prissy in a white blazer, white pants and a light pink camisole under the blazer. She looked at me with disgust. I guess that was justified, old jean shorts, flip-flops and a baby blue tank top isn't exactly 'fashion forward'. The boy was in a baby blue long sleeved button up shirt with pale pink flower outlines. He also wore black pants. He hair was tucked into a blue newsboy cap. He was also staring at me. I returned his stare.

" Mr. Evans! Miss Wilds! What about each other do you find so interesting?" Darbus shouted.

" She's got gum on her pinky." Mr. Evans said.

" He's got flowers on his shirt." I shot at her.

" Well continue this staring contest later!" I rolled my eyes.

" Yes Miss Darbus." The boy said.

Finally the bell rang. The boy was waiting for me outside the door.

" Hi, I'm Ryan Evans." He said.

" Emily Wilds." I said, popping the gum back in my mouth. He looked sorta disgusted for a minute, but continued.

" That's my sister Sharpay." He said.

" Isn't that a breed of dog?" I asked.

" Yeah, but it's spelled differently." I nodded. " Over there is Troy Bolten and Gabriella Montez. AKA, cutest couple in East high. Then Kelsi and Jason, and Taylor and Chad. Then of course, Zeke, my sister's boyfriend." Ryan explained, pointing.

" Umm… my brother Dylan." I offered, pointing to him. Ryan laughed. He was pretty cute. I blew a bubble. " You wouldn't happen to know where I could sign up for soccer do you?"

" Board. I have to sign up for the spring musical anyway. We walked over. He took out a turquoise pen; I took out my handy dandy Bic. He wrote 'Ryan Evans' on the spring musical list. I wrote 'Emily Wilds' on the soccer try out sheet.

" So… see you later?" he asked. I smiled.

" Probably."
