Chapter 1
My name is Violet Wilson and I am 17 years old. Everyone calls me a nerd because of my appearance. I woke up at 5:30 AM to get ready for school after which, I took a long relaxing shower, and so I could pamper myself, something I do not usually do. I took my time washing my hair and body with different kinds of strawberry scented products. I quickly brushed my teeth during the shower before hopping out and wrapping myself with a towel.
After finishing, I go to my closet and grab the first thing that I see. Loose pants and a worn out grey T-shirt and then slipped them on easily and made my way to mirror in the corner of my room. My long blonde, almost white hair shone as I stared at them disapprovingly. I briskly wrapped them up into a bun and placed a messy black wig over it. My fake, large, thick-rimmed glasses nicely hid my hazel eyes and I gave my reflection a slight, satisfied nod. The glasses covered up half of my face, which I preferred, as, due to this, no one would pay attention to me.
Yes, I had to wear a disguise to cover who I really was. I stared at the now unfamiliar girl in the mirror and wished that I could do something about my above average height. The girl behind the guise had beauty that destroyed her family. I could not let her live freely anymore. I could not help but remember my past, something that haunted me through nightmares every night. My Doctor had recommended me some specific sleeping pills due to this, which still did not help.
I walked downstairs to confirm that my mother came home last night. However, unfortunately, she did not, as usual. She takes extra shifts just so she can distance herself from me, which I think she cannot stand even the sight of me. I grabbed an apple from the fridge and started walking towards my school, which was only a 15-minute walk from my house. The walk was refreshing. I arrived at school and walked towards my locker, placing the unnecessary books I did not require inside, while pulling out the books I needed.
I found Jessica Hunter staring at me, with an amused smirk plastered on her face, as I passed her on the way to my first class. She was the cheerleader’s team captain with long blonde hair, blue eyes and a slim figure. Just by looking at her, you could tell that she is 'The Queen Bitch'. I mean slut. I mean Queen Bee, whatever... you know what I mean. She does not like me anyways.
"Look who's here girls!" She announced to her wannabes as she points at me. I did not reply because I did not want to attract attention towards myself. "Whoa, cat got your tongue nerdy?" She asks with a bit of annoyance in her voice. I just rolled my eyes and pretended that she did not exist; ignoring her and going directly to my class.
I knew they would prank me at lunch because Jessica always used to say, I quote “No one ignores me", thank you very much. I entered my classroom and took a seat at the back, near the window. The teacher arrived not long after me and started his class. An hour later, the bell rang, all the students hurriedly exited the classroom for their next period, however, I took my time collecting my books and exiting the classroom.
Like always, I looked down when I walked. I went to my locker and put away my first period books, before grabbing my second period books. I had roughly 5 minutes until second period would start. I started to walk to where my second period would start but,
Unfortunately, collided with a wall. "Well- well, watch where you are going." The wall retorts. Wait, what? Is there a wall that has a hand? No right? Is there a wall that can speak? NO RIGHT?! I snapped my head up to see a gorgeous male standing directly in front of me.
"I'm sorry." I said with a straight face, looking directly at him. He had jet-black hair, grey steel eyes and a sharp jaw line. God, now I could see all the girls drooling over him from around us. Did they have any self-respect for themselves? I was going to brush past him but he gripped my arm tightly then yanked me closer towards him.
"We are full of ourselves, aren't we?" He stated with a tight and annoyed smile as he tightened his grip. "Am I? So, what do you want; because the last time I checked, I have apologized" I retorted ignoring the pain he had been giving me for minutes now. I instantly slapped myself on the face, in my mind. ‘Why did I have to stand up for myself?! I didn't want to attract attention to myself’.
"Wow, this nerd has some nerve Jay. Just give her a piece of your mind and let's go, I want to go flirt with some hot girls at the club," The person next to him said. Club? Erm they are skipping classes to go to a ‘club’. I wish you all a good luck for your future. As I said to myself.
"Hey nerd, we are not finished yet but remember I will pay you back next time. No one talks to Jayden Grayson like that and gets away with it." He seethed out, releasing his grip with a smirk on his face before walking off. What have I done? Did I wake the lion up?. That is pretty amusing; well, let us see what he will do then. I smile coldly.
