Payton's P.O.V

I wake up the next morning still laying on the living room floor. I look around and see the clock on the wall reads 5:30AM. I groan and slowly stand up, I limp to the kitchen and grab a towel and some carpet cleaner. Walking back into the living room I try to take the blood out of the carpet, after a while its almost gone completely. I stand up and walk up the stairs into my room. I throw the towel in a laundry basket an go over to my dresser, pulling out a pair of jeans and a long sleeved shirt. I go to the bathroom and turn the shower on. taking off my bloody clothes, I step into the shower, letting the warm water hit my back. I wash myself and my hair and turn the water off. I wrap the towel around me and go inside my room. I pull on the clothes and finish getting ready before I grab my bag and phone and run downstairs. I go outside and began walking to school,

Let me tell you the backstory on my life. I live in this little town called Clover, in South Carolina. I've lived here my whole life, my mother passed away when I was 3 years old from a disease, doctors believe that she got from me. since then my dad has always found an excuse to make my life a living hell. I'm a junior at clover high school, and I don't have any friends. I go to school, come home, go to work, come home again, deal with my dad, and then go to sleep. That's what my life consists of. And probably what it will consist of until I'm 18 and can move out of this house.

I'm pulled out of my thoughts when I realize that I'm standing in the schools parking lot. I shake my head and walk through those big double doors, preparing myself for the long day that's ahead of me

Shawn's P.O.V

"hey dude, what's up?" I hear Aaron say behind me. I turn around and smile at Olivia, who was always on his arm.

"nothing, just about to go up to the office and see if I can change my first period" I say putting my books back into my locker.

"good luck with that. I heard that lady that does the classes is a bitch" he laughs. Olivia scrunches her nose and looks around

"she really is, you have to have a reason on why you want to change classes. And if she believes your reason isn't good enough, she'll turn you away" she says.

"I just can't do Algebra at 8:30 in the morning. You think shell let me switch so ill have History first and Algebra second?" I say shrugging.

"I mean, I don't see why she couldn't do that as long as it's the same curriculum" Aaron says. I nod and look at my feet

"well, we better go, I have to go get my art project remember?" Oliva says. Aaron nods and looks at me

"see you later?" he asks

"yeah, bye" I say rushing away. I'm sorry but if see one more couple look at lovey dovey today I'm literally going to scream. I turn a corner a little bit too fast and bump into a girl making us both fall to the ground

"I am so sorry" I say as I stand up quickly, hold out my hand to help her up. she doesn't take my hand instead sits on the ground staring at her shoes.

"are you alright?" I ask her, she looks up and me and I realize I just knocked into Payton Rayne.

Payton's P.O.V

"are you alright?" i look up to be in eye contact with Shawn Mendes,

"I uhm uhm, sorry" I say scooting away.

"hey, stop. It was my fault. I should have payed attention to where I was going" he mumbles, still holding out his hand. i look at his hand and shakenly grasp it. he pulls me up and smiles

"I'm Shawn Mendes" he says, I look down and realize that I'm still holding his hand, I quickly release and put my arm to the side

"I'm Pay...Payton Rayne" I say slightly smiling. He nods and looks around

"that's a beautiful name. but I guess that's understandable since you're a very beautiful girl" he says looking down. Is he blushing?

"oh uhm... I got to go. Going to be late for class. Uhm bye Shawn" I say rushing away. I mentally hit myself. I'm such an idiot.

Shawn's P.O.V

Really Shawn, nice going you scared her away. I think to myself as I watch Payton run away. I shake my head as I finish my way to the front office. I walk through the doors and see Mrs. Ballard at the desk. I smile at her and she smiles back

"Shawn! It's so good to see you, how's your mom?" she says.

"shes doing fine. I have a question about my schedule. Am I able to switch my classes so I have Algebra second instead of first and history first instead of second" I say. hoping I can switch. She looks back into another room and looks back at me

"youll have to talk to Mrs. Perl, good luck. I heard shes not in a good mood today." She says buzzing me into the room. I go inside and see Mrs. Perl typing on her lap top

"hello Shawn, what brings you here?" she asks. I take a deep breath and explain everything again. She nods and types some more on her computer.

"well. Good news for you, it'll actually make it easier on your teachers if you switch, so hurry along before your late. I just sent out a email and they know you switched" she says. I smile at her and nod

"yes Ma'am" I rush out of the her office and smile at Mrs. Ballard on my way out. I walk to history and smile at Mr. Archer

"I'm glad you got it switched before we start out big project" he smiles. I nod and go inside and see some people already here. I sit down in the back, the tardy bell rings and people start piling in. I put my head down as Mr. Archer goes to close the door

"Ms. Rayne, you're late"
