Peyton bit into her ham sandwich.

It was lunchtime at Perramore High, and Peyton was sitting by herself again. She glared at the popular girl's table, where all the girls were sitting, gossiping, and giggling.

Peyton couldn't stand any of the popular girls, especially Michelle.

Ooh, how Peyton hated Michelle. Michelle was the most popular, richest, and snobbiest of them all. She had blonde hair and green eyes, a large chest and butt, and was very skinny. She was every boy's dream, but she never seemed interested in any guy, ever. Peyton thought that odd, for every movie she had watched about high school, the popular girl always had a boyfriend. Then again, movies didn't always apply to reality. Plus, high school girls didn't always get boyfriends. Peyton only ever had one boyfriend, and that was back in sixth grade. Her old boyfriend was the only person Peyton hated more than Michelle.

Parker Reynolds. He was one of the hottest and most popular guys in school. He was tall, muscular, and the captain of the football team. He had wavy dark brown hair, freckled skin, and ocean blue eyes. He and Peyton had dated for 5 months, before Peyton found out that Parker was cheating on her with another brunette named Hayley. Once she found out, Peyton dumped Parker and hated him from that moment forward.

Parker flirted with almost every girl in the school, especially Michelle. Yet, for some odd reason, Michelle was the only girl in the entire school besides Peyton who didn't immediately fall for Parker on sight.

Peyton flushed down her sandwich with her bottle of water, then took out her book and started to read.

Ten minutes later, the bell rang. Peyton immediately got up and rushed to her next class, careful to avoid the popular girls. Since Peyton was the nerd who no one liked, she was teased and picked on. When she broke up with Parker, he spread a rumor that Peyton was an evil witch who would date guys, make them fall madly for her, then dump them. After the rumor spread, Peyton lost all her friends, and everyone started picking on her. She was now careful to avoid all popular kids at all costs.

Peyton rushed to her locker, grabbed her fourth period stuff, then rushed to fourth period. Peyton walked in and sat down in the seat that was in the very back of the class, then took out her notebook and started writing down the bellwork.

Oh, how Peyton couldn't wait for high school to end.

But what she didn't know, was that her life was about to be turned upside down.

With only three words.
