*Chapter One*
Mikayla slammed her locker shut as the five-minute warning bell echoed through the busy halls of Shadowbrook High School. The girl ran to her homeroom, dodging the head cheerleader and a few cliques along the way. Mikayla wore the "Underdog" label in the small town of Shadoebrook, and had ever since sixth grade. Mikayla's only real friend, Hannah had died unexpectedly when the two were in fifth grade, and Hannah was really the last person Mikayla had ever connected with, so when she died, Mikayla had lost contact with the world completely. The 16-year-old took her seat in the back corner of the classroom.She knew no one would sit beside her. Mikayla rearranged a few pieces of paper in her notebook, trying to ignore the continuing gossip about her. Then the unexpected happened. A boy with a black fauxhawk entered the classroom, and instead of sitting with the popular kids up front, he went to the back of the classroom and sat beside Mikayla.
"Hey." The 16-year-old boy said.
"Umm,hi?" Mikayla replied. The girl rolled her eyes at him.
"I'm Joe"
"Mikayla, but around here, I'm known as 'Underdog'"
"Nice to meet you, Mikayla." The boy held out his hand for her to shake. Mikayla grabbed his hand and a faint smile appeared on her face, then faded. The girl looked around the classroom. Every eye was on her and Joe.
"What are you lookin' at?!" She shouted. The people looked elsewhere.Nothing like this had ever happened before. Everyone had just left the "Underdog" alone. It was the social rule of Shadowbrook high. Joe Jonas had broken that rule.
Mikayla opened the door of her car in the parking lot of Shadowbrook high School. She was about to climb in when she heard a voice yell "Hey!".The girl turned around to see Joe standing there, a few parking places away.
"What do you want?!" She said.
"Sorry. I just wanted to say hi." The boy replied.
"Well, no one ever says hi to me around here."
"That's about to change." The boy climbed in his car, and she climbed in hers.
Mikayla got out of her car to discover that she had some new nieghbors living next door. The girl looked at the three boys playing outside, then started walking towards her house, but stopped because she had realized that one of the boys was Joe. Okay. The girl thought to herself Maybe I'm....ummm...dreaming. Yeah, that's it. This is all a freakish dream. Oh, who am I kidding? this isn't a dream. This is real. Maybe it won't be so bad. maybe I can actually be someone for a change.
I'm not posting the next chappy until i get some comments.
