"Is it just me or do I see Prince Charming staring at you?" Allie comes up to me a week later as I'm taking stuff out of my locker. It's been a month since Astor became my friend, and a month since I finally stood up for my self against Anna. Surprisingly, she hasn't said anything to me since then.

"And who exactly are you referring to?" I stuff my books in and turn towards her.

"Astor, of course." She says without adding the duh to the end.

"He is so not Prince Charming." I raise an eyebrow at her.

"But lookkkkkk." She grabs my shoulders and turns me around. Sure enough, Astor is staring at me. He's gotten to know alot more people and has been hanging with the football players. So I've been seeing less of him. But it's ok. It's not like we were close to begin with. I turn back towards Allie after waving and out of the corner of my eye I see Scott. And he's starting dead at me.

Ever since that day, a month ago, I have been avoiding him like the black plague.

He makes his way toward me and I feel someones hand slide around me and rest on my hip. I look over into a pair of bright blue eyes. Astor.

"Hey, honey." He smile and presses a kiss to my forehead and I giggle.

I know that he's only doing this to get Scott to go away so I play along.

"How is my handsome prince doing?" I smile up at him.

"Amazing now I'm with you." He smirks and looks behind me and I glance back and see Scott no where in sight.

"I will take care of him." He whispers so no one else can hear.

"Thank you. Really. I think you're one of the only things keeping me sane and Scott is surprisingly scared of you so he has been leaving me alone when I'm with you." I smile.

"Anytime, princess." He smiles back and kisses my forehead. "I'll see you in English." And he walks away, leaving me confused yet breathless.

"So he's not a Prince Charming huh?" Allie steps in my view.

"He's only doing it to get Scott to go away." I sigh and close my locker.

"Wait, what happened?" She stops me from walking away.

"I'll tell you tonight. My house?" I ask.

"Definitely. But don't play dumb. I saw how that boy was looking at you. And it wasn't just because he's trying to help." She pulls me in for a hug. "See ya babes." And walks down the hall. A minute later, the bell sounds and I make my way towards English.

"Hey! Rebecca! Wait up!" I turn to see Chris running to catch up with me and see that he's wearing his football jersey, like the rest of the football team, for tonight's game.

"Hey what's up?"

"I was wondering if you were coming to the game tonight?" He scratches the back of his neck, nervously.

"Yeah, sure. Why?" Out of the corner of my eye I see people staring at us. Probably wondering why Popular Chris is talking to Loser Becky.

"Just wondering." He shrugged and I see Kim walk behind him, shooting me a glare. So I hold up my hand and flick her the bird.

"Fuck off bitch." I say and all eyes widen, Chris's included as he turns around to see her then he looks back at me. I'm a shy person, I don't say anything to anyone unless they really piss me off. And Kim has done exactly that.

"What did you just say?" She comes marching over to me.

"I said fuck you bitch. All you are is a mother fligging hoe. You cheated on Chris with his best friend for fucks sake." People gasp around me. Guess no one knew about that.

"How did you..." She stops mid questions but I answer anyway.

"Chris is my best friend. We talk about things. The latest is about you. So go to hell and pick on someone who actually gives a damn." I glare at her and she looks surprised. Soon she glares at me before marching out, walking toward the locker rooms.

"Damn girl. Didn't know you had it in you." My friend Issac comes up to high five me.

"Thanks." I looks around and notice people still staring. "Don't you all have classes to get to?" I snap and they scramble.

"Dang." Issac laughs.

"I know right. Well, I'll see ya later, Icy." I walk into the English room and for the first time in a long time, I decide to sit in the front. Because I'm not going to let anyone ruin the confidence I was having today.

And when I say anyone, I mean anyone.

Because life is too short to live without live or happiness, just like an apple as so long until it's no longer sweet. Just take time everyday to be happy and fall in love with as many things as possible. Because you never know when your life may end.
