Stepping out of the car driven by James I look at the building in front of me. It looks like all school buildings - tall, old and boring as hell. Saying my goodbye to James I take the first step leading to the entrance of Redwood High School.

Since I forgot my transfer papers I got James to pick it up, so the only thing I had to do now was to hand it in.

Minutes later after my short visit to the office I stand at the door of my first class and as soon as I open it, I feel 30 sets of eyes looking at me. Taking my first step inside, the teacher, a woman in her mid-thirties spot me.

"Can I help you?". Asking me she smiles, ignoring the mumbling from her students.

"I'm the new transfer student". When she heard what I said, she realized her mistake and began presenting herself as Mrs. Patty, my new literature teacher, she then asked me to present myself to the class.

Turning around to present myself I can see they all already know who I am by the look in their eyes but they keep quiet anyway, waiting for me to confirm that I'm who they think I am.

"My name is Hailey Elizabeth Stone". By now the whole class had erupted in whispers after confirming my identity. Telling the basics, I didn't tell reason I was here because they soon would find out anyway since some journalists have been following me after the interview telling about my whereabouts to the media.

Getting tired of the whispering Mrs. Patty tell the class to be quiet. As the whispering dies down she tells me to go sit beside Rose which resulted in a girl with strawberry blond hair raising her hand.

Walking to my new seat I could feel the whole class watching me. Sitting down, Mrs. Patty begins her class not noticing that half of her students stopped paying attention to stare at me.

By the time they all stopped staring at me I made myself ready to take my midday-nap but at the same time, Rose tried conversing. Luckily she stopped seeing as I had no intention to talk to her.

By the time the class was over, I didn't get any sleep since Rose started poking at me resulting in me yelling at her to stop, making me get the attention of the whole class which Mrs. Patty didn't look too pleased to see since she gave me detention. Stupid bitch.

Hearing the bell, I collect my thing but at the same time, I feel a certain person looking at me. Gritting my teeth, I turn and glare at Rose.

"What do you want?". Glaring at her, I hope she could see the hatred in my eyes but she is damn persistent seeing as she doesn't flinch. Damn her.

"I just want to be friends". Looking at her I knew she meant what she said.

Not answering, I started heading to lunch not wanting to wait for Rose seeing her knowingly smile, knowing I accepted my defeat.

It's not like she's gonna go away anyway.
