Prologue:

Catherine's POV:

"Please stop. You're bothering me!" I shout to Drake.

He sneers at me and says "Ha, why would I stop? You're just a low nothing. Why are you even at this school? No one even likes you! You're just a pathetic little girl."

I try to keep the tears from forming in my eyes as I look at him with terror. I want to say something back but my mouth wouldn't open. Instead, it just kept quivering. I start turning on my heel to run, but before I can move, his hand yanks my arm toward him.

"And where do you think you're going? Are you going to call mommy?"

I feel him trapping me in his arms. I struggle to get off him, but being held by a 6'3" football player, it's kinda hard. So I do the one thing I knew would make him release me. I take my heel and kick him in his family jewels.

"DAMMIT! You're gonna pay for that! Guys, get her!" Drake screams.

I see his friends running toward me and right away, I knew I was screwed.

That morning:

"Today...it'll be a good day....yea. I'll just stay in the back again. It's a new year Catherine. You're a junior!"

*Sigh* Self-motivation doesn't work at all.

I pick up my bag to walk to school. It's only 6:00 in the morning and I have to go to school. My parents are still asleep. I wish my brother was still here. That way I could actually have a person who is nice to me. Chris...Why did you have to leave? But never mind that, time to walk to school. My school is a 45 minute walk from my house. I don't have a car to drive and I hate it! My best friend, Melissa Nestlerode, is still on vacation in China. She won't be back for a whole month. I don't want to be alone that long! Not to mention that she took me to school... At least I found out we had five classes together out of eight. But for 30 days, I'm going to have to adjust. But with Drake here....

*screams with frustration*

Ok. Here we go! I can do this! I keep walking toward the school when I hear footsteps.

"What are you thinking about little girl? And why are you so alone in the dark?" A voice speaks behind me.

I turn around to see a man, around his mid-twenties.

"What do you want?" I ask him, eyeing him suspiciously.

"I'm just asking you a question."

He starts to come closer to me taking small steps slowly. I notice he's wearing nice clothes for work. White shirt with a black tie, black slacks, etc. An alert starts popping in my head and I break for a run.

I hear him yell, "Hey you! Come back! "

I ignore the man and end up getting to my school twenty minutes earlier than I usually do. I wonder....who was that?

------------

I walk into the front doors of my school. I notice not that many people are here. I go to the school library to read a little, before the torture begins. I take a look at the books in the shelf and see the one book I'm searching for: Innocence. I start flipping for my spot and continue reading. I'm so drawn into the book, I don't even realize the library getting full with students.

"Where's Darius?"

"I'm right here. Always." he whispered, fighting the small urge to kiss her small lips...

The next thing I know I feel the book ripped out of my hands. I look up to find Drake, dangling the book with his two fingers.

"So this is what you do? Read little romance stories? You're such a loser, you know that? No one would ever love you like these stupid little romance books."

He tosses the book to his friend, Neil.

"Hey! Give that back!" I scream to Neil, reaching for the book.

Drake takes my hands and tug on them, bring my face directly in front of his.

"You wanna fight with us? You think you can win against us?"

He drops me back to the ground and I feel a shot of pain go up my legs. Neil looks at me with no expression.

"Let's go Neil, we need to get away from this loser," Drake says to Neil.

Neil follows and I notice him looking over his shoulder one more time. I rub my leg to see if it's broken, knowing how to tell. I see that my ankle was swelling so I take an elastic rag from my bag and wrap my ankle, waiting for the pain to cool down a little. Why do I have medical stuff in my bag? Cause I need it all the time. The bell rings, telling me I need to get to class. I wait for the rest of the students to go first, and limp to my first period....Pre-Calculus.
