(A/N: I'm sorry its so short but I promise the actual chapter will be longer! Also, I'll update soon cause the first chapter is almost finished!)

I have never been on a date.

That being said, it's no wonder that I try to get as much advice from other people as I possibly can. However, my friend writing nonsensical letters and sending them by owl to my house to tell about how much fun she's having dating muggle boys- that's extortion.

Well, I suppose not technically, but her threatening to tell the whole universe you've never been on a date, that has to be some sort of blackmail.

Anyways, I guess I should introduce myself; my name is Alexis Jones, I am perfectly normal, and ordinary. Except for the fact that I'm a witch, nothing exciting ever happens in my life. You could say I'm just- average. I was placed in Slytherin House 5 years ago, which would now make me be about 15 years old. I like to read a lot, and I enjoy the dark arts; my parents were both in Gryffindor as well as both my older siblings, which would place me as the 'black sheep.'

I've never thought myself particularly interesting, after 5 years of hanging around one ofwith my friend myself-esteem has gotten pretty low. Why would someone ask you out if they could have your friend? I had a pathetically, monotonous life with my drab brown hair and blank blue eyes. Which is sad but true.

And which alsosucks, because my dearest friend, the one who likes to "blackmail" me is rich, gorgeous, and has been on WAY more then one date. Her name is Jade Totral. She has these gorgeous icy green eyes AND (as if that weren't enough) sleek, shiny black hair down to the small of her back.

Now I know your thinking that I'm jealous, right? My best friend in the whole world is the prettiest girl in the school, but I'm not. Not even a little…
