My story will sometimes alternate between Milana, Chris or Ace's POV. Enjoy :-)

Milana's POV.

"Who the fuck are you?" A guy with glasses replied, despising her.

Okay... Great.

Well, it wasn't going to be easy.

Milana gulped, unsettled. Perhaps they just didn't like hanging out with girls.

"I'm new in town, just trying to get to know people 'round there. I'm Milana."

"Great to know. We don't care."

The boy with glasses watched the game again, ignoring her.

The three others didn't know what to do, they were quite shocked by their friend's reaction.

"I'm Vern Tessio, how..."

"I think you should go, Milana." A tanned boy with blue eyes interrupted his friend's cheerfulness.

The last one, a tall and skinny guy, kept his distance.

"I- don't get it... We don't even know each other and you're rejecting me like that?" Milana was offended, she wondered if it was even real.

"We don't like girls like you, we already have to bear them at school. And now we have to hang out with them?" The guy with glasses laughed sarcastically while shouting at the kids on the field, telling them how they were playing like losers.

"Please Teddy, stop being that pretentious." The skinny boy suddenly mumbled.

"What did you say asshole?" Teddy turned over him.

"Okay, never mind. See you at school I guess." Milana gave up, sighing.

"Hey Milana, wait!" Vern tried, but she didn't even look back.

Fuck off.

They were definitely not the ones.

Milana felt so much anger in her, her face was now as red as Hell was pictured in those documentaries her dad would watch all night long.

Once she left the playing field, she decided to go to the news dealer to buy some magazines.

She had to take her mind off what had just happened.

She felt so humiliated by the boy with glasses. She thought he was worse than this sort of gang she met earlier in the morning.

She started to laugh inside, school would start in less than two weeks and she still had no friends.

She had never missed Eden and Nate as much as she did right now.

Fucking jerks.

Her new town was so small, Milana easily found the store. She chose three magazines about cartoons, comics and fashion.

"Four dollars please."

The guy was so cold, she gave him the money without a word, not saying goodbye while she left.

What was wrong with Castle Rock today?

She headed back home, feeling sad and still humiliated.

Even the singing birds and the bright sun were not able to cheer her up.

I have to do something about it.

She could not give up.

Milana wasn't like that. She could not let go that easily.

She would talk to them again, she knew by seeing them at the playing field that they could become friends.

She wanted to.

She had felt the same way when she had met Eden and Nate.

But still, they didn't react the way those four boys did...

She had to understand why.

No.

There was that same car sound again.

They were back.

"Hi again my Russian girl."

"Oh hell no..." Milana rolled her eyes.

She turned over to see the "gang". The same scene was repeated.

The one who shouted at her was Eyeball, she remembered his stupid nickname.

"Calm down dude, 'thought you were only on the Jews one!"

"You're right Charlie, looks like our Eyeball is being excited like a little girl." Ace, still driving, replied with a sarcastic tone. Eyeball grumbled.

Ace looked Milana right in the eyes. Wanting to unsettle her.

She tried to resist, to show him that she was not intimidated. She was now walking faster.

She felt so ill at ease when they were around her, she couldn't stand them.

"Sorry beautiful if we are scaring you, I'm sure you know it's not our intention." Ace said, calmly. His smirk widened.

"Yeah sure." Milana tried to look at him but his blue eyes were so...

Cold and intense, she had to look away.

Eyeball and that Charlie guy were whispering while looking at her.

For fuck's sake, all she wanted right now was to jump in the car and slap them.

Luckily, she arrived home.

However, when she reached the door, she realized that they had followed her to her house.

Milana had been so stressed out by the men, she had not paid attention to that.

Now, they knew where she was living.

"Well thanks to you sweetie, for making things easier. See you later." Ace shouted, satisfied.

She noticed his wink, which probably meant "I'm not done with you yet, be prepared".

Milana bit her lower lip, containing her rage while she entered her house.

Once in her bedroom, she let herself fall on her bed, feeling desperate.

She was now in deep shit.

Why? Why didn't she stay home today?
