Chapter 1

The sun was shining bright it was actually a lovely morning for once which was something we hardly got here in Cherryvile Carolina it was mostly raining but of course I couldn't enjoy our nice rare weather because I had to go to prison aka school. 
"Okay Grams I'm leaving." I mumbled to my grandmother as I took the last bite of my bagel "Skylar don't talk with food in your mouth." She scolded me before hugging me goodbye "Sorry."
"Do you have lunch money?"

I shook my head no and she handed me some cash that I just stuffed in a pocket of my bag as I walked out the door. It was the first day back to school which was also my first day as a junior. I did fairly well in school I guess, of course with the help of my amazing two friends Sasha and Kendall they were brainiacs. 
I got into Grams car and started the old rusty thing backing out of the driveway was a bitch to do and I wasn't much of a great driver anyway, so gram was always peeking out the kitchen window until I got out of this driveway to make sure I don't ruin her precious yellow bug, what's so precious about it I don't know.

Once I got to the school I pulled into to my 'assigned' parking spot, yes assigned, my school was pretty stupid and thinking it'll possibly cause the fighting rates in the parking lot to go down they gave us our own spots I couldn't complain though because I was always in between Sasha and Kendall. "You look different.." Sasha looked me up and down "Yeah grams making me dress like a girl. She's worried ill never get a boyfriend looking like a boy." I rolled my eyes "I like the new Skylar." Kendall smirked as she stared at my pink blouse and pencil skirt, it wasn't fancy at all but I felt horrible. She even forced me to wear more makeup and straighten my hair this year, I guess I liked it but I wasn't going to admit that to anyone.

"I'm sure you're going to get some phone numbers this year. Maybe even Hemmings will notice you." Kendall winked and I gagged "Id rather drink bleach than ever have that douche bag speak to me." Sasha slapped my arm "Shut up he can hear you." She whispered as we walked past him. "Like I give a shit?" I rolled my eyes as I heard a whistle behind me "Damn Skylar you clean up nice." Alex James winked as he walked pasted us "In your dreams pig." I gagged once more.

"Today's going to be hell." I whined when we walked into our home room, we all always had the same classes together since all of our last names started with S. Mrs. Jones did attendance after the bell rang but we were all too tiered to answer so all we heard was mumbles when name were called. "Michael Clifford?" 
"Is a Michael here? Guess not."

"Who wouldn't show up for the first day of school? Idiots." Luke Hemmings said from the back. 
I rolled my eyes and turned my attention back to the teacher when the door opened and in walked a student with an eyebrow piercing and red hair "I'm Michael Clifford." The boy slurred out from tieredness "You're late." Mrs. Jones sighed.
I was practically drooling as I stared at the boy as he walked to a seat "Do you need a napkin?" He chuckled and winked at me I quickly closed my eyes and looked away from embarrassment.

Chapter 2

The day had dragged on and I had gotten hit on quite a few times during lunch which just pissed me off, but when I finally got home I changed into sweats and a tank top "Grams I promise ill dress more like a girl but that was too much girl."
"But you looked beautiful, Sky." 
I rolled my eyes, did I not look beautiful any other day? "We got a new kid this year." I changed the subject and shoved a cookie in my mouth "Yeah?"

"He's hot." Grams smiled and shook her head "Does Skylar Simone actually have a liking for someone? Call the press." I groaned "This is why I don't tell you things." She chucked and put a skip card down "I hate playing UNO with you." She always skips me it's quite annoying.
"Would you rather I take you to Monday night bingo?"

"Oh god no, you still do that?" 
"Sky if you paid attention to anything other than one direction than you'd notice I've gone for three years now."

"I'm sorry grandma but who can take their attention off of Zayn Malik? No one." She chuckled again "Stop eating those cookies you'll spoil your dinner."

"Grams I have a never ending put right here, I can eat this whole thing of cookies and still want dinner and a snack later."

"I know Skylar I've seen you do it."

Grams and I finished our unfair game of UNO then we discovered we were completely out of the things we needed to make tacos so she gave me a was of cash and her car keys and sent me to the grocery store. So here I was looking like white trash because I never changed from my pajamas in the store full of annoying kids crying because their parents won't buy them a toy and grumpy old people that won't move fast enough.

I turned the corner into the aisle with the taco shells in it and noticed the bright red hair, obviously it had to be Michael since no one from Carolina would even think about dying their hair something abnormal. I tried to sneak past him because I looked like absolute crap and he was gorgeous, but my plan failed horribly when the cart I was pushing knocked into a pile of canned foods "Fuck." I muttered as they went rolling "Hey you're that girl who couldn't stop drooling over me in school." I mentally slapped myself and nodded "That was embarrassing, I normally don't do that.."

I bent over and started picking up the many cans and began stacking them back where they were "I see." He smiled and began helping me with the cans "I didn't get your name." 
"It's Skylar."
"Pretty name for such a pretty girl." He said with a wink once we were done "Well I have to go find my mum now, see ya tomorrow." He smiled and waved before walking off.
