By the way I thought Royce was in the 1970's but he's actually in 1953 sorry. I was going to make her a guidance counselor but that would be too hard to work with so I decided to make her a high school senior.

Disclaimer: I only own Amy.

Soon after I left I heard of the fire there. As well as the only person that died in it. I cried for oh so many nights. It's my fault. If I stayed he would have lived. My only wish is to see him soon in the after life. For now a passed through the years still kind to those who deserved it but I vowed never to love again.

It was August of 1952. School had just begun and this time I decided to be in high school to see what I'm lacking in the learning area. I enrolled in Valley high school as a 17 year old senior. They believed me since teenagers are looking different ages now a days. I changed my last name to Carter so I wont be linked to Ryan or the late 1800's.

I walked into class with an emotionless face on. It was 2 weeks into school and I had just arrived. I walked into my geometry ap class and introduced myself quickly. It made students suspicious on why I had no parents. Until I lied and said they were in a car crash 2 years ago and I had no one to go to. So I lived on my own.

"Well miss Carter you may sit anywhere you like." the teacher said. I went to the back of the class and sat down taking a notebook and pencil out as the teacher began teaching. So far it was nothing I haven't learned before.

A note landed on my desk and I looked up from writing to see the girl in front of me glare at me before turning and pointing at a boy that looked like a James dean wanna be. He turned slightly and winked. I just blinked then opened the note up.

'The name's Royce. What's yours new girl?' it said. I wrote back.

'Amy' then sent it back and continue my notes. It came back. I sighed softly annoyed.

'Cool. Ya single?'

'For you? No.' after he read this he turned around surprised, confused, and it looked like he was a bit angry. Then he wrote something else. And sent it back. I didn't want to argue with him so I just ripped it and flicked it off the desk after smiling cruelly at him. Stupid teenagers and there hormones.

When the bell rang I pulled out my schedule and gathered my stuff leaving before Royce could catch up. I gotta say though his name is interesting. I was walking in the hallways almost to my next class when Royce came up to my side. "Look-." I interrupted him by putting my hand to his face showing I wasn't interested while looking my schedule then I walked into my next class which was chemistry completely ignoring him.

But I did see his face. And it was hilarious. His brows were furrowed, his eyes wide, his mouth open in surprise. The bell rang and he ran off angry he was rejected and he was late for class. More of the day went by and it was free period. I simply got a book and went to the stands by the baseball field where some other girls were and began reading.

Someone came out and were batting pretty angrily. I ignored them and kept reading. Then they stopped. I guessed they left but I was wrong. There was a bang on the fence and I looked up to see Royce. "Hey new girl! Come down here I wanna talk!" he shouted up to me. I glared at how he called me new girl and simply went back to reading completely ignoring him.

Royce banged on the fence a couple more times calling out 'new girl' and 'doll face' a couple more times before giving up. There was a girl a couple feet away from me watching the entire thing. "You might wanna leave. He's gonna come up." "What is his problem anyway." I asked annoyed at him. "You caught his interest I guess. You're the first girl to reject him." "He sounds spoiled to me." "Trust me he is. He's the star baseball player of the whole town! He gets everything on a silver platter basically. I gotta go see ya." she said hurriedly before getting up and running off. "Bye."

I was confused why she ran off so suddenly until I felt something on my back. I turned around and it was the tip of Royce's bat. "Why did you ignore me?" he asked through clenched teeth.

I sighed before saying, "One you kept calling me doll face. I have a name. And two I'm not interested." I started packing my stuff up to go and was about to grab my book but it wasn't there! It was in Royce's hands. "Now why would you read a sissy story like this. It has no pictures." it was Ryan's favorite. 'Jack and the beanstalk' I've read so many times thinking of him.

"Some people prefer to use their imagination Royce. Now give me my book." "What's the magic word doll face?" he said smirking. I made a grab for it but he held it above my head. I reached for it again but he moved back while I moved foward. That made our faces very close together. He noticed and smirked.

I stood back to my normal height no longer leaning over and he did too while holding the book above my head. I looked up at it before getting an idea. I smiled a sickly sweet smile. His smirk got wider thinking I'm giving in. Then I kicked him where the sun don't shine.

He doubled over and I got my book. I was about to leave when I saw him still clutching his manhood. I bent to see his face. "Aw did your wittle ding get hurt?" I asked in a mocking baby voice pouting my lips a bit. He looked up smirking a little. "Yeah why don't you kiss it better?" I frowned and glared at him before standing up and pushing him down the bleachers. He rolled all the way down.

I got my stuff and left as the bell rung. He was groaning at the bottom while I went to my last class of the day. Halfway through it I was called to the principles office. I gathered my stuff and left knowing what awaited me.

R&R please
