I woke up with a start, my alarm has gone off and given me a huge headache. I rolled onto my belly at the edge of my bed and pushed my fist down on the button but instead smashed the entire thing. "Not again." This is the third one I've destroyed my mum is going to kill me. Not that she ever has to know. I sighed and turned on my back to stare up at the white ceiling. I don't want to go to school today, I know I sound like the typical tired teenager but it's not like anyone is going to miss me... except for Henry.

Honestly, if it wasn't for Henry I would be skipping school today and a lot of other days. He's the only friend I have and the only friend I'll ever need. He's always stuck by me ever since that day at the park, but we never spoke of it. When I tried one time he had no idea what I was talking about but I know I wasn't imagining him. I will always remember his pitch-black eyes and his warm smile, so familiar as if maybe I have met him in another lifetime. A mystery that I'll never solve and don't have time to because if I don't get up now I'll be late for school and since Henry is picking me up so will he. I groaned and fell to the floor and started crawling to my walk-in closet. My parents are very wealthy, my dad is an architect and my mum is just a housewife. We live in a huge mansion with civilisation just around the corner so it does get really lonely here anyway time to pick out what I'm wearing. I stuck with the dark blue guess jeans, a white T-shirt and a grey hoodie. I didn't look at myself in the mirror to see how I looked because every time I do I gasp and can't stop looking at myself.

No, I'm not self-obsessed or anything it's just that I'm different looking to every single girl on the planet. What girl has naturally white hair and black eyes? At times I find I'm creepy looking but at other times I look... pretty. My mum says I have an unnatural beauty, all I have to say to that is I am definitely unnatural. Girls would kill for my flawless skin not meaning to brag or anything sadly I'm also one of those girls who are flat-chested. But I have gotten into trouble for my looks so I keep myself sort of hidden under hoods or stuff my hair up into a hat and wear sunglasses. Today I'll just stick with a hood and pray for not too much attention.

Knock Knock

"Angie are you up? Henry is here." My mum said while opening the door and she gave me one of her dress inspections. "Come on Angie I bought you those summer dresses for a reason." She said dragging me to the wardrobe.

"Ugh! Mum please I'm fine everything I wear, I wear for a reason." She ignored me and pulled out a white dress with pink roses on it. I shook my head at her. "No." She frowned and placed it back then pulled out a short black dress with an attached black belt. "Don't think that's appropriate for school."

"Nonsense put this on and wear these black stockings." She tossed them to me and then began to search for shoes. Forget it! I placed the clothes on the floor then ran out of the wardrobe. "Not so fast young lady! You put this on this instance!" She screamed. Oh God, I bet the whole neighbourhood heard that. I sighed and changed into the clothes but snuck my jumper and cap into my school bag. "Here wear these boots." She gave me a pair of red ankle-high boots, they are lace-up, pointed at the end and three inches tall.

"Mum it's the only school, and how do you expect to run around to each class in those torture shoes?" They look like shoes a Christmas elf would wear.

"They're not that high Angelica, now go before you're late!" When she walked out I slipped in a pair of black ballet flats in my bag as well. Then once I put on the boots I walked down the stairs and met Henry at the bottom who looked at me in awe.

"You look..." he started. "Different." Jeez, nice choice of words. "Wipe the drool off your face." I grabbed his arm and dragged him towards the front door.

"Have fun today!" My mother yelled out as I closed the door. Fun? At school? I sighed and Henry nudged me.

"So what are you doing for your birthday?" He asked to try and lighten up my mood but bringing my birthday up is not a way to get me feeling happy.

"My mum is planning a big birthday bash for my sweet sixteen. She's inviting every single person I know and don't know. Including Nicole Live." Nicole Live where do I begin when it comes to Nicole the mole. She's a bitch. Ever since the seventh grade she's been horrible to me, she's gotten people thinking that because my parents are rich that I'm a snobby spoiled brat. I may be spoiled but that's not my fault!

"Why would your mum invite Nicole?" Henry questioned.

"Because she's fake friends with her mum." I sighed as we got into his red Volkswagen. "It's my sixteenth and she's going to go over the top. But I get free presents so I'm not complaining." He started the car driving through the black gates and heading for school. I'm really dreading going today... the class I like is music and... nope that's it music I play several different instruments the piano, violin, flute and also I love to sing but not in public.

"You look good today, it's nice to see you in real clothing, not those hoods and sweat pants you always wear," Henry said still looking at the road.

"Don't get used to it. The hoodie is in my bag." I said pulling it out but Henry smacked my hand. Ow! I glared at him rubbing my sore hand.

"Don't hide yourself you look beautiful." He said then bit his tongue and started blushing and now I'm blushing. He just called me beautiful... we drove the rest of the way in total awkward silence. Um...

He parked the car in the school car park and we both got out still silent so to break the silence I tried to think of something to talk about. Um.....

"Hey did you study for science? " Lame so lame!

"Science there's no test today is there? " Henry asked confused.

"Mr Riley has a surprise test today." I simply said.

"How do you know? if it's a surprise." He asked.

"I can sense when something bad is going to happen. Believe me." I said in a serious tone and he rolled his eyes at me.

"We'll see." He said and I grinned deviously. Actually, I heard other classes that have him as a teacher got the surprise test and I know we're bound to get it soon just not sure if it's today. But it's fun making Henry think that I might be psychic. We stepped through the school doors and I heard a few gasps and everyone turned to look at me. No, I can't stand people looking at me. They're all judgemental and they gossip. I hate the attention I get when I show my face. Henry saw me uncomfortable and steered me to my locker.

"Relax Angie there just surprised to see you. You know in nice clothing ." He whispered and I elbowed his arm. "I'll see you in science." He said before he left. Right, relax just ignore everyone and get your jumper out.

"Look who's trying to fit in." Nicole sneered. Ugh, this is why I wear sweats and hoods so I can blend in with the crowd and no bimbos bother me.

"Leave me alone Nicole."

"Rude Angelica!" I heard her heavy footsteps come up behind me and grabbed my shoulder and forced me around. "You just think you're so much better than me don't you?! You can't just order people around! " She hissed. Like you can talk.

"I'm not ordering I'm begging. And I don't think I'm better than anyone. Now walk away in your trashy last season heels so we can get on with our lives." Now I'm asking for trouble because her freckled face is red with a fury which can actually help you see the red highlights in her short brown curly hair. "You bitch! You call yourself classy. You're just another slut picked up from the streets." She screeched so she brought everyone's attention to us. Great. I took a step closer to her and inspected her brown curly waves.

"Is that a grey hair I see?" I said acting shocked. She hesitated then smirked.

"Look who's talking grandma. A fifteen-year-old girl with white hair." Damn walked right into that one. I'm used to her insults but when it comes to my naturally white hair it's crossing a line.

"At least my hair isn't the colour of horse shit," I said slamming my locker shut and walking to the science room. I win for once I one a battle against Nicole the mole.

"Whatever you say, grandma!!" She yelled out. And just like that, she won. Why can't she just get a life? I stepped in ignoring everyone and sat next to Henry at a bench near the back. I dumped my stuff in front of me and rested my head on my arms.

"What's wrong?" Henry asked concerned. I mumbled Nicole's name and he gave a soft laugh. "What'd she do this time?" I didn't look up at him, I just stayed facing down on the table, the bench cold against my skin.

"She commented on my grandma hair," I mumbled and he chuckled so I kicked him under the table. "Why don't you just dye it a different colour?" I groaned in response. I tried that but the next day it turned white again. "What is your natural hair colour?" I groaned again.

"This is my natural hair colour!" I growled.

"Ha yeah right," Henry mumbled under his breath which got him another kick on the shin. "Would you quit with the kicking!"

"Maybe," I whispered. Then I heard the bell ring and everyone rushing to their seats and Mr Riley stormed.

"Alright everyone surprise test!" He said and everyone groaned but I just laughed my head still resting on the table.

"I told you, Henry." I teased and he kicked me. Hehehehe. Then I saw the classroom door open. Mr Riley doesn't take kindly to people who are late so this should be entertaining. I finally looked up and rested my chin on my arm. The late student is a boy, looks about sixteen. Black hair, dark brown eyes, tan skin, strong jaw, pink lush lips, black leather jacket, black T-SHIRT and black jeans. Sexy looking but I'm not fooled. It's the same guy from the park... I haven't seen him in a very long time... Blaz
