For my first day of school I chose my favourite pair of dark wash jeans and paired it with my grey Ed hardy V-neck singlet and finished it off with my black fake leather jacket. I never wore real leather even the thought of wearing animal skin made my skin crawl.
Yuck!
"Come on stop hogging the bathroom!" Belle banged on the door repeatedly unfortunately we shared a bathroom as well as a bedroom-it was torture. What I imagined hell to be like although I think I'd rather be tortured by Satan if I had the option.
"Just wait a minute will you?" I finished applying the last layer of black mascara and eye liner. It was bold but not over the top. It was just perfect and made my blue eyes stand out against my dark hair.
"I've been waiting for half an hour!" Belle snapped and banged on the door one last time like it would make me rush when in fact it had the opposite effect.
Silly girl! It was like she didn't know me at all.
"You are such a brat," I spat back before I applied my vanilla scented lip gloss. My look was now complete. Derek would be impressed for sure not that all the fuss was just for Derek although I did want him to see me at my best.
"There you go your majesty," I opened the door and bowed before she pushed past me and slammed the door closed. I couldn't help but laugh. She was such a drama queen and I wondered if I was the same when I was ten years old.
"Must you tease your sister like that?" I heard my mother yell from the kitchen and I ignored her as I walked across the hall into my shared room before I packed my writing books and writing utensils into my black shoulder bag. I was ready to go but I still had to wait for Belle so I decided to play some music to help pass the time.
I tuned into the radio and Blink 182- Stay together for the kids played through the speakers and my heart sank. My wounds were still fresh but they had finally stopped bleeding and started to scab over. Yet the lyrics had ripped them wide open, it had robbed me of my progress and I jumped to my feet and quickly shut off my iPod dock.
Focus just focus. I guided myself as I closed my eyes.
I'm strong, stronger than most of the people I know. I'm going to be fine. I'm going to be better than fine. I coached myself as I took deep breaths in and exhaled.
"What are you doing?" Belle asked and I opened my eyes. She was standing in the door way dressed and ready to go with her strawberry blonde hair separated into two plats, and I let out a sigh of relief.
"Nothing."
How long had my eyes been closed for? Belle always had half an hour showers at least it seemed to run in the family. We were lucky our hot water also seemed to last forever.
Thank god.
"Well come on than we don't want to be late for our first day," Belle prompted me and I made sure not to show how grateful I was to be free from my thoughts.
I wasn't nervous or worried about starting over at a new school but I did miss my old friends and my father... A lot but I had a feeling Derek was going to be able to distract my thoughts, and I hoped he was going to be in a couple of my classes at the very least.
I imagined him as the mischievous bad boy with many female admirers and the thought practically extinguished the smile that had risen to my lips. Why would he pick me? I was already imagining all the competition that would be more beautiful than I was.
Oh come on don't go getting all insecure now. My inner voice instructed me and I listened besides I was getting worked up for no reason he probably had a girlfriend anyway. It's not like we talked that much.
Stop acting pathetic. I scolded myself and shook my head. I wasn't the girl that got tongue tied over a guy or wondered what he was doing or thinking or who was kept awake asking questions like does he like me? Is he thinking about me?
That's never going to happen.

The morning went considerably well and I was taken under Hayden's wing. She was the blonde bombshell and the queen bee from what I gathered and her boyfriend Rick was a skank. He kept staring at me during class acting as if we had some instant connection and Hayden seemed oblivious or she just didn't see me as a threat which irritated me.
I'm totally bitchin! My inner voice mocked Hayden and it made me smirk and chuckle for a fraction of a second.
Rick was the captain of the basketball team and Hayden said all the girls loved him because of he's gorgeous dark brown hair, brown eyes and the freckle above his top lip which apparently was adorable. I pretended to agree although honestly I didn't find him attractive at all. He was just a cocky asshole. The bad kind of cocky unlike Derek who was in both my English and math classes and I may have spent half my time stealing glances at him. He seemed to be the loner type so my initial assumption about him was incorrect, but it just added to the sexy and mysterious vibe I got from him.

It was lunchtime as I was walking through the busy cafeteria holding the tray of food firmly in my hand while I assessed the situation. Everyone was chatting and laughing and I was being waved over by two different tables. There was Hayden's table, and Dee and Cassie's. I had met Dee and Cassie in English class and they seemed like my type of people but sitting with Hayden would mean an easy ride as long Rick kept his eyes and hands to himself.
Come on it's not that hard of a decision just choose.
I ignored my thought because as silly as it sounded it was a defining choice. I could sit with the queen bee and it would make high school a breeze, or I could sit with Dee and Cassie and most likely make an enemy of Hayden.
Instead of over thinking it I let my instincts guide me.
"Hey guys," I placed my tray on Dee and Cassie's table and looked across the room at Hayden who looked shocked and angry but I didn't care. I had gone 18 years without being a sell out and I wasn't going to start now. At least I assumed I wasn't a sell out as an infant, toddler or child.
"Hey so guys this is Kristin. Kristin this is Cory," Dee introduced me to a cute brunette with brown eyes and he smiled and greeted me with a nod of his head.
"And this is Trevor," Dee kissed him on the cheek and he greeted me in a husky voice. He had short blonde hair the same colour as Dee's as well as intense blue eyes. He and Dee made a very cute couple.
"So where did you move from?" Cassie asked the first question as she smoothed out the ends of her black straight hair. We hadn't gotten to talk much in English and barely got past the introductions before the teacher demanded our full attention although I did get to compliment Cassie's brown skin. It was flawless and I was just a tad jealous.
"Georgia," I replied and they looked at me like I was insane.
"By car?" Cory sounded shocked.
"Yep."
"Isn't it like a day and night trip?" Dee asked impressed as her brown eyes widened.
"Yep we had to get a hotel. It was very painful," I smiled and they all chuckled. Already I felt comfortable around them.
"That is one long ass move," Trevor formed his right hand into a fist and hit his chest twice before finishing it off with the peace sign, "Respect," he nodded and smirked. I couldn't help but laugh.
"What the hell is that?" I asked.
"His messed up version of a respect gesture," Cassie shook her head and rolled her eyes unimpressed.
"What I'm not fly enough?" Trevor asked as he crossed his arms and held his head high.
"Oh my god stop "homeboy" you're embarrassing yourself."
"I have to agree with Cassie," Dee laughed.
"Yeah man. I have more chances of being a convincing "gansta" than you do," Cory teased and popped his collar, and I found myself laughing even harder at their ridiculous yet entertaining behaviour.
"You're going to scare her away," Dee nudged Trevor and he put his arm around her in response. I had to hold back the "awwww".
"Don't worry I don't scare that easily," I assured them. They were a tad bit crazy but I was happy with my choice. I knew I had made the right one and if Hayden was going to seek revenge I was going to be ready. There was nothing she could do to break me.
