"Ella please hurry up, you don't want to get late on the first day itself, right?" I shouted towards her bedroom, this girl will never get ready at time.

Ella my little sister, was just a pain in my....oh wait let me introduce myself first.

I'm Alexandra 17 years old, currently on my last year of high school. Ella is my sister who is a year younger to me. Our family shifted here recently, so we were still new to our surroundings. If you ask my level on the social ladder, I would basically called off as a nerd, but popular for being Miss Goody two shoes. To be honest I like that tag too, I mean c'mon being a cool nerd was fun. Well that's a lot of introduction for starters, isn't?

So today was my first day on my new high school. As usual I was nervous, and Ella, being the confident one of Tanner siblings, came out of her room, dressed nicely. She was lot more pretty and girlish as opposed to me, certainly someone whom I would look up for fashion advices.

"Hurry up sweeties." As soon I heard our dad call us, I practically dragged Ella out. Grabbing a granola bar for both of us, i quickly got in the car along with her. I let out a huge sigh; nervousness was already eating up my insides. As we reached the school, we bid byes to dad and went inside.

"So see you in evening yeah?"

"Yup. Good luck Alex."

"Good to you too, El."

Spotting the Information desk, I went there.

"Hello,Can I know where my locker is?"

Lady sitting there looked up and inquired "New admission?" To which, I gave her a quick nod.

"Can I know your full name miss?"

"Alexandra Tanner."

She gave me a slip, which had my locker number, and the classes scheduled for rest of the day. I marched to my locker and found some books stocked there already. I picked the respective book and went to class.

As I entered the class, I saw a middle aged lady standing there.

"Oh Ms. Tanner you're late" she said with a small smile.

I smiled weirdly and got in, taking in all the stares directed upon me. Oh how weird.

"Class this is Ms. Alexandra Tanner, you may take your seat Tanner". I went and sat down beside an empty seat near a blonde girl, she had a sweet and warm smile on her face.

She whispered a hello, I smiled back.

If you think, that every nerd practically enjoy sitting in the class, then oh boy you're so wrong. We like everyone else loathed the torture, only difference was that we take effort and try to make it bit more bearable by taking down the notes. After a complete hour of lame lecture, the class was finally over. I got up along with my partner, "I'm Alora Clark, you can call me Al." she said with a small smile.

"Nice to meet you Al" I smiled back. The class wasn't bad considering I made a friend on first day itself.

After few minutes of conversation with Al, I found that we share most of classes except for Biology and English. By the time we had a period off, we went towards the canteen. I sat down on an empty seat as Al excused herself and went to the washroom. I casually looked around myself noticing the atmosphere there. Different kinds of teenagers were present around me, girls who acted weird and showed their swag, then there were girls flirting with jocks, usual preps and of course so called geeks. My eyes froze on a boy who was grinning. He had deep ocean blue eyes and had toned physique, tall.
Gosh he looked like some Model out Paris Fashion week. What again caught my attention was his cheeky grin. His charming smile attracted me the second I looked at him.

Here I go again, I thought, from childhood I had fascination for boys with charming smile. It started with my grandma saying that's boy with most beautiful smile will change my life. He will steal my heart. And bang!! Everywhere I searched for boys with attractive grin. Actually it was pretty stupid of me you could say. I was so lost in myself that I didn't notice Al taking a seat beside me.

"Someone is drooling over here." I was snapped back to reality and blushing at her words.

"But sure he seems worthy of it." I shot back covering up my blush.

At first she was confused, then when she got what I said we both laughed together.

"He is one of popular guys here. He is every girl's dream date, but unfortunately he doesn't date."
She explained that he would always have frequent flings. She said his name was Luke Turner.
And again I went back staring dreamily at him, this lingered until he saw me and smirked. I quickly turned red and turned around due to embarrassment.

That's when we saw a group of boys entering the canteen, to be precise four. They glared at Luke and his friends.
