A/N: Alright-y. This might confuse the hell out of you, and when I originally wrote it, it was a lot different and in Heather's point of view. BUT I wanted something a little bit more intense so….HERE IT IS!

Enjoy :)

Prologue

OMG. Could someone please tell those two to get a room? I mean, I was across the cafeteria from them and I was getting nauseated.

Everyone thought they looked so cute together. Uh…puke! God, what was with these people? And last year, they were marked as 'Cutest Couple' in the yearbook. Ugh gag me now. She doesn't even have any style at all.

Like having Sammy Keyes win cutest couple in the yearbook was disgusting enough, but then-with my, MY crush for like, ever! And she knew! I totally made it clear that I liked him, and she better watch her back.

She called me the day they got together. She said Happy New Year, are we friends?, and then 'Oh yah, I'd thought you'd like to know, that Casey and I are together now. Isn't that cool?' I hung up. Okay, it was totally obvious she was gloating. Then again Sammy never liked the smug type…ugh what am I saying? I don't know Sammy Keyes. I thought I did but girl was I wrong.

I cried the rest of the night, blubbering to my new cat about liars, cheaters, and a really cute boy I was so not over yet. Going to school a couple days later I knew that I was doomed for eternity. They're still together and it's been like, two years!

I thought possibly the whole deal with their parents would break them up, but then their parents broke up, and they went back to being all happy-go-lucky. Lord, shoot me now!

Jessica, my new best friend, babbled on about something beside me. Shoes? Clothes? That's really all she talks about. Yah, superficial, but at least she dresses nice and is not a complete weirdo. See, because I'm a junior, and I'm considered cool by Olivia, I'm allowed to sit at the super In-crowd, popular table. Which is good cause it's far away from all the freaks, backstabbers and that really amazing guy I can't get out of my head. I call it the Backstab-Sammy table.

Olivia was getting up so we all gathered our stuff. Her leaving is like, our queue to jet off. Like, now. Cause if you were still at the cool table, but you didn't have a cool leader near you-you, well, might as well be Sammy Keyes. Hah!

I go over to the trash and dump out my half eaten salad. I take out my mirror and make sure my makeup's just right before I flounce past Casey, on my way to my senior boyfriend, Danny. Yah, me the queen of cool in grade 11, and the captain of the football team? How more perfect can that be? But I don't want Danny. I want his ex-best friend.

I started walking towards him, passing by the weirdo table with a flick of my hair. Making sure to ignore Sammy, yet still smile at Casey, I looked back up at Danny smirking away with his clichéd jock friends. I was about twenty feet away from him when I heard a loud gasp. Turning around I saw Mr. Acosta himself, on one knee in front of Sammy. He was holding something in his hand, and as far as I could see on Backstabber's face, she was awfully surprised. A horrible feeling welled up in my stomach, as the entire lunchroom went silent.

The silence was definite. Scary, and actually-downright weird. I was about to command that everyone go back to eating when I heard a faint, 'Yes,' whispered from Sammy's frozen lips.

I was shocked into place as I watched Casey jump up and hug Sammy. My mouth dropped as she kissed him, right on the lips. I could feel my knees go weak, my vision become blurry and then…I fell.

Someone grabbed me right before my body made contact. I couldn't hear first, though. I could see. The faces of my ex-best friend, my crush from forever, his back-stabbing sister, and all the others I left so I could become what I am now.

My sight became blurry again as I heard Danny whisper in my ear:

'Marissa? Speak to me! Are you alright? Marissa! Marissa! Maris…'
