*beep* *beep* my hands slam down on the alarm clock and I groan loudly as I roll out of bed. I walk over to my closet and pull out my black short shorts and a red crop jumper that says SWAG in big bold letters. I walk to my draws and pull out some underwear and go to have a shower.

When I get out the shower I pull on all my clothes and sit down at my desk and start to do my makeup. I put on some eye liner over my deep brown eye shadow and put some lip gloss on, I top it all off with blusher and I’m done. I look around for what shoes I am going to wear and decide to go with my Nike wedges and not my Jordan’s.  So I lace myself up and grab my back pack. I take one more look in the mirror to check myself out. I wouldn’t call myself pretty but I’m not ugly either. I have long black wavy hair that reaches my belly button with shocking blue streaks; I have big grey bluey eyes and big lips. I also have long caramel legs and curves but I’m not fat. I guess I looked ok but I can’t judge myself so I don’t really know.  *knock* “Shana are you ready we need to go we don’t want to be late on our first day!” yelled my brother from outside my door. He pulls me out of the train of thought that I’m in and I look once more towards the mirror before grabbing my car keys and running to open my door. “What’s up Kaykey?” I say with a smile on my face using the nick name that I have used since I was a little girl. Me and my brother are close I mean he’s all I have since my mum and dad work and live in new York having packed up me and Kayden and sent us to this house in California. They send us money but it’s not the same as having them around.  “Nothing’s up Shanna Banana just don’t want to be late.” I laughed at his nickname for me and then looked him up and down while we walked to our cars. He was wearing his dark washed black jeans a white top and a leather jacket, I know in this weather.  We walk outside and are met with two Lambos a silver one and a black one. “Can I take the silver today, pweeas?” I ask using my puppy dog eyes and he just sighs throwing me the keys. I throw him mine and we get in. it takes us 5 mins to get there and I pull into the space next to Kayden. We walk to each other and in his hand he has two beanies. I grab the one which says dope on it and pull it on while he pulls on the plain black one, then we switch back are car keys. “Are you ready, Shanna Banana?” he asks with concern on his face. “Hell yea I am Kaykey!” and to that he just rolls his eyes. We walk to the main doors and count down from five. 5…4…3…2…1… we push open the doors.

Laughter erupts from the crowd of boys around me as my best friend Matt tells a joke. I don’t know what’s up today but I just feel different. I start to talk and everyone goes silent to listen to me I guess I have to explain. It all started on the first day of high school, my Dad had just been arrested and my Mums brother had just died leaving me most of his money, all of his land and 70% of his company the other 30% was given to my uncle Steve who only has it until I am old enough to take over. When I came to school I was always angry until I started playing football. I earned respect from all my team mates and was voted captain and then after second year I invited three of my best friends to come live with me in my mansion and after that I thought I was happy but I always felt like something was missing.  “Hey guys tonight I was…” I got cut off by the main doors being opened, that’s when I saw her and she took my breath away literally. I drew a quick intake of breath as I looked at her. She had soft caramel skin and beautiful curves in all the right places her black hair had blue in it and was tickling her exposed stomach. But none of that mattered when I saw her eyes, grey but blue at the same time, I looked and I was hooked her eyes swallowing me in them even though she wasn’t fully looking at me. Just as I thought it she turned her head to me and looked at me I was lost in her eyes I could hear my team mates trying to get my attention but they seemed miles away, finally she tore her eyes away from me as the boy next to her whispered something in her ear. Her laugh rang out and warmed my soul but I hated that the boy was the one who had made her laugh a growl escaped my lips before I could stop it. “Hey man you alright?” asked my best friend matt and I nod still unable to speak. I watch as she walks away and my heart clenched why did she have to leave? I have to get her back.

Walking into school for the first time was such a rush having everyone staring was cool. We had walked halfway into the first corridor and Kayden had stopped to ask where the front office was. While he was doing that I looked around to see people staring and it made me blush and look away. It felt like it was taking ages for him to get the directions and I turned to see that he was talking to a girl, I groaned and looked away. I felt someone’s eyes boring into me and looked up to see a tall guy of 6’3. He had on black jeans and a navy blue top which brought out his brown eyes and made his dark brown hair shine. Damn is all I can say. He’s big and muscular but not only that but he looks kind and warm and kissable. KISSABLE! Slow down there tiger we only just got here shouts my brain and I tear my eyes away from him as Kayden whispers in my ear. “If these boys don’t stop staring at you soon I’m going to start punching faces.” He says angrily and I laugh even though I know he is being serious. We walk away from the corridor and go to find the front office.  When we arrive the lady gives us our schedules and the locks to our lockers with the combination. Me and Kayden exit the room and hug before going our separate ways. My first lesson is English and I smile as I enjoy it. I walk to class 178, I nervously knock and open the door the whole class turns around and stares at me and at the back of the class I see the guy I was staring at, omg this is so awkward. I walk up to teacher whose name is Mr. Cloud and apologise for being late he told me to introduce myself to the class and say a fact about myself so I did. “Hey guys my name is Shaniaha but that are a bit of a mouth full so most people just call me Shana.” I say with as much confidence as I can muster and everyone says hello back. I continued when the room went silent again. “And a fact about me is that I love to dance.” I said in a cheery voice. “She might love to dance but it doesn’t mean she’s good.” Says a blond girl in the back row of the class room. People start to laugh and I just smirk. I drop my bag on the floor and run down the middle of the rows of seats and run up the wall to do a back flip then turn an innocent gaze at sir and smile. I walked past her I stop and say loud “look don’t be mad that I’m good at that your good at stuff to.” I stop and frown. “Just not covering up that zit though.” And as soon as I say it the class erupts with laughter. That’s what you get when you mess with me. I picked up my bag and walked to the only free seat which just happens to be next to the really hot guy from earlier, I shiver runs down my spine and I look away from him.

The lesson finishes in a blur and so does the next as I try to get settled in my new school. It is 10 mins to lunch and I’m in French when I feel a tap on my shoulder. I turn to face a beautiful girl with brown curly hair and big green eyes.  “Hey I’m Maddie but everyone just calls me mad.” She says and to the last bit we both giggle. “Hey I’m Shanna it’s nice to meet you mad.” I say and she just rolls her eyes at me like I’m being stupid. “I know who you are you’re the amazing chick who stood up to Samantha and did a back flip in one lesson, you’re a legend. And you are going to be my best friend.” At that I can’t do anything but laugh this girl was awesome and I knew that I was going to like her. The bell rings, Maddie and I get our stuff and I follow her to the cafeteria where I get and apple and a hot chocolate not feeling that hungry. I follow Maddie as she goes to a table with a load of people near it. We sit down and she introduces me to some of the girls. Sasha, Chloe, Christina, Casey, Libby and Coco. The girl said hey to me and
