Adrianne Porter walked towards her locker chatting animatedly with her friends, people calling out hellos to the group of girls. Her black book bag hung casually on her shoulder as her black binder rested safely in her arms. Her green eyes rolled at something that her friend had said as they reached her locker. She spun her combination and her locker swung open.

"Oh, did you see Michael Thomas?! He's been looking fine lately." Jessica Parker gushed, her blue eyes full with life as she flipped her long strawberry blonde hair over her shoulder. Adrianne just shook her head as she pulled the books that she didn't need out of her bag and placed them into her locker.

"Oh come one Adrianne! Why won't you just go out with the guy already?" Kristine Michaels asked as she scanned her reflection in the mirror that hung on one side of her locker which was beside Adrianne's, with her blue green eyes, checking her dirty blonde hair.

"I'm just not interested in him..." Adrianne said uneasily as she slammed her locker shut.

"Oh-kay... whatever... Anyhow did you see the new hottie yet?" Michelle Jacobs asked as she scanned the halls with her piercing hazel colored eyes.

"New hottie?" Jessica asked.

"I saw him on my way to my locker." Michelle said with a shrug as she tucked a strand of her auburn colored hair behind her ear.

"Nope..." Jessica said as she checked her black school shoes for any dirt. They studied in an exclusive school which unfortunately required a school uniform which was composed of black shoes, white socks, a dark blue plaid skirt that fell just above the knees for the girls while the boys had dark blue pants. This was accompanied by a white button down blouse for the girls while the boys had a white button down shirt.

"You guys, we better go or we'll be late for home room." Adrianne said as she glanced at the clock which was located at the end of the hall.

"Okay, see you guys at lunch." Michelle said before she and Jessica headed towards their homeroom. Meanwhile Adrianne and Kristine headed towards their own home room. They took a seat at the middle of class just as the bell rang, signaling the beginning of class.

"Alright class, settle down, settle down." Mr. Clearwater, the homeroom teacher and Biology teacher, roared as he entered the room, slamming the door shut behind him. The noise level decreased as he pulled out the class roll. Once he had finished calling out the names of the students in the class there was a knock at the door.

"Sorry for bothering you Mr. Clearwater but we have a new student." The principal's secretary said as she opened the door. With that said she pushed a tall and well built boy with piercing blue grey eyes and blonde sun streaked hair inside the room. She then closed the door behind him and left.

"And you are?" Mr. Clearwaters asked as he peered at the newcomer from behind his glasses.

"Thomas Matthews." He replied with a shrug.

"Alright then, please take a seat behind Ms. Porter. Ms. Porter please-"

"No that's alright, we've met." He said with a smirk.

"That's great! I'm sure that Adrianne will show you around. Won't you, Adrianne?" said.

Adrianne's POV

SHIT... What is he doing here?

"Uh... Of course sir." I said nervously as Tom headed towards me. He plopped down on the seat beside me, giving me a knowing smirk.

"Shocked, Porter?" Tom sneered.

"What are you doing here, Matthews?!" I hissed in reply as dismissed us to go to our first class. We both stood up, and he INTENTIONALLY moved closer. He leaned closer and tucked a strand of my hair behind my ear.

"Just curious Porter... do any of your friends know that you spent your summer in rehab?" he whispered in my ear, his breathe tickling me. I pushed him away from me, anger and fear coursing through my veins.

"Keep your mouth shut Matthews, and you'll be safe." I spat before I walked towards Kris who silently questioned what had just happened. Shit... I'm dead.
