"It's too damn early for this shit" Julie complained as she heard the alarm go off. Today was Julie's first day in 11th grade and she didn't want to go. She wasn't a nerd but she wasn't the most popular girl in school.

She never had enough time to go out and act like a normal teenager since she was 17 years old and lived by herself. She used to live in foster homes but recently got her own place. She got ready and went to Stacy's house.

"Thanks Stace. I'll be here around 2:30" Julie yelled as she got into her car getting ready to go to school.

As Julie walked down the halls of Union Pines High School she noticed a big crowd around someone's locker. 'Probably one of the popular kids' she thought.

She went to her 1st class and it was over before she knew it. It was around lunch and she noticed the crowd again so she deiced to see what the big deal was.

She looked trough all the bodies crowded together and saw him. 'Jeff' she said to her self with no surprise. She should of known he was only the most popular guy in school.

As she was looking at him Jeff looked up and saw her. She looked away and pretended like nothing happened. She went to her other classes and by the end of the day she had so much work to do.

She rushed through the halls of Union Pines and with in a blink of an eye she fell to the floor dropping her books and all.

"Watch where you're going Bitch!" Melissa one of the 12th graders yelled.

"Sorry I'm kind of in a rush and I wasn't watching where I was going." Julie said walking past Melissa trying to get out of school as soon as possible.

Melissa stood in front of the double doors so Julie couldn't leave. "Excuse me? I think I deserve an apology."

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

"Come on Jeff. We heard Melissa is already getting in a fight with someone on the first day of school. We can't miss it." Shane whined.

"Okay, okay I'm going." They ran down the halls and saw Melissa yelling at someone. Jeff narrowed his eyes and realized it was the girl he saw earlier today.

"Excuse me? I think I deserve an apology."

"Melissa I need to be somewhere right now so if you don't mind ge…." "Well you should've thought of that before." Melissa interrupted.

Julie tried to get to the door but instead of Melissa moving she punched Julie in the face. Julie touched her jaw and glared at Melissa the out of nowhere she tackled Melissa to the ground and started beating her.

Jeff and Shannon pulled Julie off of Melissa and Shane helped Melissa up.

"What do you think you're doing?" Jeff whispered in Julie's ear.

"She hit me first. I wasn't going to just let her get away with it." She exclaimed.

Jeff noticed her cheek and it was already staring to swell. "We got to get some ice on that. Come with me" he said pulling on her arm.

Julie took his hand off her arm. "No. I have to go somewhere."

"Where do you have to be in such a hurry?"

"Nowhere just…just…. I have to go." With that Julie ran out the doors and sped away in her car to her unknown destination.
