CHAPTER ONE
Walking through the hallways was something she has always dreaded, and the fact that most people acted like they couldn't see her made it worse, she just wants to leave a normal life but it seems like the universe has other plans.
"hey watch it!"
A jock yelled at her after bumping into her,she turned back stared at him for a while before she kept on walking.
she murmured all manner of insults under her breathe, she dare not say it out loud except she wanted trouble.
"Darla! Darla! over here!" a blonde girl with blue eyes waves at Darla, her name was Amy lanwill; the only girl that made Darla look forward to going to school.
Darla was soaring academically but socially she was at rock bottom.she didn't have any friend for a really long time till Amy moved to Alley lane a year ago and since then, somehow they became inseparable.and unlike Darla,Amy is super social.
"Hey"
"what's wrong you look...sad" Amy asks genuinely concerned
"oh am good"
"sure?"
"yeah yeah"Darla says nodding.
They head to the cafeteria to have their lunch and sit down at their usual spot.
"there's gonna be a party tomorrow night darla" was the first thing that left Amy's lips once they were seated.
"okay.....so?"
"Bailey is hosting the party tomorrow night,at her house,her parents are going to be away for the weekend"
"I still don't know how this particular information concerns me"
"well we are going so it does concern you" she sips from her soda
"Amy.." Darla begins to laugh
"Amy we don't have to go, tomorrow is Saturday we can do something together instead"
"are you kidding me right now, why don't you try to relate with people? you said you can't but do you ever try? you are in high school for crying out loud.."
"Amy come on it's not that deep don't get mad"
"am not mad Darla,am just trying to get you in on my Saturday plan that's all, if you don't want to come you don't have to"
Darla stayed silent for about 5 seconds
"it's fine"
Few seconds later Keisha and her minions bailey and Hannah are standing in front of Darla and Amy as they are eating.
"Hey Darla" Keisha says plainly
"am hosting a party tomorrow at Bailey's house everyone at school is invited, but you are not"
"oh no! why me! please let me go to the party" Darla says sarcastically and Amy couldn't help but chuckle a little bit.
Keisha who is obviously offended looks around to make sure nobody important heard her.
"Don't worry kish,I rather sit home and stab needles in my eyes than come for your stupid party"
"oh really huh?" all of a sudden a takes Amy's soda and spills it all over Darla and walks away with her minions.
"coward!" Darla yells after them
"Darla are you..."
"am fine....I'll be in the restroom"
she gets up and head towards the restroom but it's occupied so she opts to use the water fountain instead.
"vinegar will get it right out" she heard a voice say
"yeah... but I think it's just a sign to let this shirt go"she said without seeing the face of who she was talking to.
"oh come on,the shirts really nice and it compliments your eyes"
Now she just had to look at who was talking to her, she turned only to find a really good looking boy staring at her with his green eyes and she could almost swear that she was lost in them for a moment.
"Hi am Jake"he extends his hand for a handshake.
"am Darla" she says shaking him "do I know you?"
"uhmm no... but you can get to know me"he said with a dashing smile that yet again fell her into a trance
"umm I ,I spilled a soda,...on myself...am really clumsy sometimes" she says and smiled awkwardly
" yeah s**t happens it's all good, but just don't let go of this shirt, not now at least it's beautiful"
"you're beautiful"she blurted out and regretted immediately " that was... kinds weird,I didn't know when that slipped out"
"no it's fine,I love it when girls are being real" his eyes started strolling down to her lips and back to her eyes which sent shivers down her spine "it's really hot and sexy"
Darla just froze confused on what to do, she just met this dude and he's already flirting so hard,there has to be a catch,was he sent? is this a prank?
