'First day of school. A day I dreaded to come. I enjoyed my summer, sure, but this was senior year, a year that we were supposed to remember.'

Well, I ain't falling for that crap. School is just school. All you need to do is collect memories. High school isn't the end. There's college, real life.

Some teens think that high school is the time where everything is going to happen. They feel as if it's the time where it will decide your future. Other than picking the course you're taking for college, it's just a simple way of going with the flow.

Though I was treated like crap in school, I still lived my life to the fullest. Knowing high school wasn't the end.

I walked in the front doors of school. Dreading what was coming. I hugged my books tighter to my chest and looked at the floor. My thick-framed glasses sliding down a bit.

A few more months Valerie.

"Oh look guys! It's nerdy! The loser!" Haley, the head cheerleader who had stereotype dyed blonde hair, shouted to her fellow cheerleaders, who all were leaning on lockers. They looked like a bunch of fools. As expected, they started to push me. I hugged my books tighter. It was a miracle that they hadn't fallen off yet.

Well..

I spoke too soon.

Boom.

The sound of books falling echoed through the corridors.

"Haley! Enough!" A gruff voice said from across the hallway.

I stared at the books.

"But Cody!" Haley whined.

Annoying, whiney, creepy bit-

"Hey, are you okay?" The gruff voice said, making me jump.

I looked up to see a pair of light green eyes.

I pushed up my glasses and nodded my head. Swallowing the lump in my throat. Why is Cody Jenkins, the captain of the football team, talking to a nerd like me?

What he did next surprised me -no, everyone- even more.

He kneeled down and picked up my books. My jaw hit the floor. I probably looked like a fool staring at my books, then staring at the Cody Jenkins pick them up. Oh, and let's not forget that my mouth was open ajar.

He stood up. My icy blue eyes followed him. He gave me a cute impish grin and handed me my books.

"T-thank you," I stuttered. My honey blonde locks covering my face.

"You're welcome," he whispered.

I walked by him, hearing Haley whine about why he helped me, and asking him to go to her house later.

"Haley, how many times do I have to tell you, we are over."

I snickered. Serves her right.

I turned left and saw my best friend leaning on my locker. Arms crossed and a leg raised to lean on the lockers.

"Nikki?" I called.

Her head popped up. A smile creeping on to her petite face.

Nikki had straight black hair, big doe eyes, that were gray. She had a sharp nose. Her face looked like a pixie who was adorable.

"VAL!!!!" she shouted, running towards me in full speed.

My eyes widened. Every first day of school she does this. I should have known.
