I woke up to the sound of my alarm blaring a repeating ringing noise for the second time in two days. But the silly thing is, I don't remember ever setting it last night. I turn to my left only to be greeted by the face of an overexcited Julia.

            "Wakey wakey English muffin!" An over enthusiastic Julia almost yells in my face.

            I groan and attempt to sit up, but I get a little dizzy and I wait a moment before I speak. "Why did my alarm go off?"

            "Because I set it for you. It's the first day of school, we've gotta look our very best. The first day is when everyone measures each other up, you gotta get up bright and early to look your best! And anyway the early bird gets the worm!"

            I found her logic very dumb, but I went with it anyway. After the ceremony ended yesterday we were all given a tour of the grounds. Then after that we were all led to our dorms. The whole of last night was spent with me and Julia gossiping and things before finally deciding to go to bed. I was able to gain a lot more info than was originally given to me about her and the school.

            "C'mon, let's get ready!" Was it me or was this girl a little too excited to get to class this morning?

            I forced myself out of bed and into our shared bathroom which was already full of our hair products and things. Guessing by the wet floor and the still plugged in hair dryer, Julia had woke up bright and early and taken a shower before I was woken up. I took a fairly quick shower and dried my extremely thick hair before walking back in the room wrapped in my pink fluffy towel. Apparently I was a little too slow for Julia, because she was off her rocker when she saw me.

            "What took you so long?! We only have an hour to get to class, and we have to look good." And with that, she runs around the room again while picking up clothing items and managing to straighten her hair at the same time.

            "Okay, don't you worry. I'm used to getting ready in a rush." I wink at her and go to my side of the room.

            I first put on my uniform, a red and grey plaid skirt, a button down white polo shirt, and a choice to either wear a grey or red blazer. I decided to go with the grey blazer today. I then worked on makeup and hair. I decided to curl my hair today, which would normally take over an hour, but the agency gave me the best and the fastest one that they had, so it didn't take long. When I was done, I put on my new high top white converse, apparently converse was getting just as popular with the popular kids as their designer brands.

            "Finally!" Julia exclaims, pulling on a designer brand of high heels along with her red blazer. She was very short, so heels were kinda practical for her.

            "So, how many classes do we have together again?" I ask her with a dumb tint to my voice.

            "All of them, isn't it awesome?! Don't worry, I can show you the ropes." I faked enthusiasm as I thought of the only times that I'd be away from the nightmare that is Julia Thompson, bathroom breaks and whenever she left for something that didn't involve me, like a date. I'd have to be careful of who she hung out with when I wasn't around.

            "Oh right, sorry. I can't believe that I forgot!" I wish I could forget.

            "Now, come on!" She joyfully tells me, running out the door. I match her joy as we both step out into the crowded hallway. I see that the other students are also leaving their dorms, heading in every direction. Me and Julia walk down the stairs to room 224 in building 2, pre-calculus. For only being a Junior, this dumb blonde was actually quite good at math.

            We run into a couple of her friends on the way to the class, but I still don't see anyone capable of kidnapping or murder. There was one little hyper French girl with shoulder length bright blonde hair who stood at about Julia's height, but she was wearing flats so we towered over her in comparison, She was also in a lot of classes with us. She was also a newbie to this school, but Julia knew her from one of her father's showings last year in France. I immediately thought that she was no real threat to either of us.

            By the time we get to the class, most of the kids had already sat down and we chatting amongst themselves. I had realized at that moment that Julia had timed our arrival perfectly. The room was full of students who arrived early, as to make sure that they weren't late, these were the impressionable kids, the ones who would be impressed by the clearly popular girls with the aura of perfection. Julia just might've been smarter than I was giving her credit for.

            "Julia, Julia! Come sit by us!" I see some wannabe girls yell over from the front. She ignores them as we three make our way to some empty seats in the back corner, nearer to the doorway.

            I make the mistake of looking back over at the girls who wanted us to sit with us. They were clearly disappointed and were sulking in the front with anger of rejection in their eyes. I hated being this mean to people, but if this is what you needed to do to fit in here, I had to do it.

            "Alright class, roll call." Mrs. Stevens announced to the class. "Andy A-"

            She was interrupted by a boy that I could have sworn walked right out of a teenage vampire movie, but he was really just Jonathon Petters, Julia's extremely hot and totally paid to be with her boyfriend.

            "Mr. Petters! I can't believe you had the nerve to show up late to my class on the first day of school! Go take a seat and behave yourself Mr. Petters!" An angry and infuriated Mrs. Stevens yells at him. I have a feeling that the two have already met before.

            "Hey babe." He tells Julia, giving her a kiss on the cheek as he sits in the vacant seat besides her. She blushes and gives him a loving look. I kinda felt sorry for her at that moment, it was obvious to everyone here except for her that he didn't have real feelings for her. It was sad really.

            The class passed fairly quickly, along with the three others we had to go through before we could go to lunch. I had three separate boys, all immature showoffs, ask me out , or rather offer to have sex with, in that time period. I had no idea that caked blonde idiots were in fashion this year.

            The table that we were sitting at was in the middle of the outside pavilion in the shade of another massive tree. Everyone had at least something on their plate from one of the different lines that your could get your food from. I had a roll of sushi from the Asian sectioned line, the same thing as Julia. The table consisted of Julia, the short and hyper French girl - Lilly , Jonathon, a jock named Max, me, and a couple of other popular kids.

            "Oh my god, did you guys hear about that slut. Amy, and Mr. Irwin?" I gasped, along with the rest of the table as Lilly told us the far stretched rumor that I had heard earlier today, which was most likely true given Mr. Irwin's background.

            "No way!"

            "Oh my god, I heard that too!"

            "I can't believe that she would stoop that low!"

            "I can, she's a hoar!"

            "But he's not even that attractive!"

            "Maybe he has a large you-know-what"

            "Amanda!"

            "What? You were all thinking it!"

            The rest of lunch went along the lines of that, but with different gossip and the occasional small talk that never got anywhere. I imagined they would talk for four hours straight if they were given the occasion. The whole day was so tiring after lunch, class after class of boring first day lectures. I decided after last class to take a quick walk around the grounds of the school, alone. It's not like I can't leave Julia alone for an hour without someone watching her, so I made sure that she was hanging out with her boyfriend before I left.

            The grounds were very pretty, flowers blooming in every windowsill and the grass was green and vibrant. I walked along a brick path that would take me around the outside of the school, which would help me get a feel for the floor plan I had been originally given of the school.

            I had been walking a little over half an hour, when I heard someone coming up from the upcoming bend in the path. Not wanting to be taken by surprise, I hid behind a tree. The boy was Simon Evergreen, a scholarship kid who was bullied by Jonathon and Max. Simon wasn't at all very ugly or annoying, he was just very nerdy. He had done his best to modify the uniform without breaking any uniform codes, colorful suspenders, nerd glasses, and bright yellow converse. Let's just say that he was the type of guy that I would have really liked, had I not been undercover.

            He was walking down the path, earphones blaring music, not even noticing me. He was also singing along to the music, I was pretty sure that he was singing one of my favorite Joe Brooks songs. As soon as he passed I had to stop myself from running after him, he had an amazing voice and he was - to be honest - cute.

            I shook the thought away and made my way back to the dorm room. As I walked up the stairs, I heard music coming from my dorm. Julia must like to listen to country music. I open the door with my key and step inside, but what I see makes me want to wash out my eyes in soap.

            "Oh god! Why? Why did I have to see that?"
