ADAM’S POINT OF VIEW
The news was out. Tyler and Lizie were going out. The hatred just didn’t go away after that!!! It felt as if 1000 daggers were stabbing my heart all at once when I saw them together.
When I got home I laid on my bed thinking about my love for her. All of a sudden a drop of water ran down my face. For the first time since the thing that happened with Kelly years and years ago I was crying!
I sobbed all afternoon. My brother came in and was shocked! He put his arm around my shoulder and asked why I was crying. I told him everything!
“Why are you crying???” He asked, “Go get her! Tell her how you feel! She means a lot to you right???”
“But what if the same thing happened like it did with Kelly?” I asked through my tears.
“Oh yeah…”

LIZIE’S POINT OF VIEW
I felt like fainting. But new emotions took over. Confusion, shock, and worst of all torn ness! My body froze and my lips did nothing – I just stared at him.
“Let me think about it” I said.
“I understand,” he replied, “Tell me tomorrow!”
My mom’s car pulled up and I jumped in.
“How was school?” she asked. “Crazy” came my reply. I ran up to my room and thought ALL afternoon! At the end of the day before I fell asleep I made up my mind…
I WOULD SAY YES...

ADAM’S POINT OF VIEW
The new girl walked in and after a minute while she was talking to the teacher I noticed myself staring at her. I shook my head but I couldn’t get her sweet smile out of my head. I realized I was falling in love with her.
She turned and sat in the soprano section, almost next to me. Then she turned to me.
“Thank you for this morning,” She smiled and all I can do was nod. I felt stupid so I turned away.
By the end of class, I wasn’t only in love with her beauty, but with her voice too. She sang SO sweetly!
I walked out of class and noticed she was talking to boy named Tyler who had just come from gym class. Anger boiled inside of me but I remembered it was her first day and probably just met him but the way she looked at him made thoughts of hatred swarm in my mind…

LIZIE’S POINT OF VIEW
Kelly was starting a food fight. Mom told me never fight back and get away so you didn’t get in trouble. But more and more food came flying at me. I dodged them all and then she was out of food.
I looked around and saw everyone staring at me. I guess no one has ever won a food fight against Kelly. Soon Kelly was lead down to the office and I was having Lily talk me into sharing her lunch with her. We sat with her other friends Lid and Layne. I looked around for Adam so I could thank him but I didn’t see him.
“He’s not here,” I turned and looked at Lily. She continued, “He eats in the choir room.”
“Wait you mean like singing?” I asked, wondering how she knew I was looking for him.
“Yep, he’s the lead singer and can hit every note on a guitar,” she said with a smile.
“You mean he can hit ALL those high note?” I asked in shock. Lily nodded. I was nervous. I had choir next hour! But the bell rang and I hurried of to the choir room…

LIZIE’S POINT OF VIEW
“Anytime, I’m Lily!” the girl said. When I turned to the boy, he was gone, nowhere to be seen.
The rest of the day went on and oddly every other class had Lindsey. The ones that I didn’t have with Lily, I had with Adam. But I never got the courage to thank him.
At lunch I sat with Lily but because I was so worried about school I finally remembered that I had left my lunch at home. But then I was called down to the office. I quickly walked down to the office to find my mom holding a brown paper bag. I hugged her, said “goodbye” and walked back to the lunchroom.
As soon as I got to the lunchroom, Lily screamed, “DUCK!” and I ducked JUST in time…

ADAM’S POINT OF VIEW
“Adam!” Kelly screamed at me. “You’re my boyfriend, you’re not supposed to talk to my enemies much less help them!” she was furious.
“Well I have a life and I would like to live it not have it controlled by a girl who thinks she’s hot,” I spoke harshly.
Kelly had tears streaming down her face and screamed, “We are OVER!!!” She then turned and ran down the hall and into the girls bathroom. My classmate and the new girl were staring at me in shock. But the new girl was relieved that was over and took both of our hands and we pulled her up.
“Thanks,” she said to us. I quick ducked into a crowd and made my way to my locker…

LIZIE’S POINT OF VIEW
“Hi!” she said sweetly. “My name’s Kelly!”
“Mine’s Lizie,” I replied quietly.
“Awesome! We’re going to be best…” she paused. I strained to hear the word friends.
“…Enemies,” her sweet smile became a wicked grin. “Congrats, you just met your biggest nightmare”.
She walked away and I muttered under my breath, “you’re not my only problem”.
I walked to class as the bell rang. I saw Kelly walking toward me. As she passed, I thought I was home free but she stuck her foot out and I tripped.
Then I heard a gasp. I looked up and saw hands sticking out to help me. One hand was connected to a girl with dark brown hair and bright green eyes. The other was a black-haired boy with calming blue eyes. Kelly walked around me and gave the boy a dirty look…

LIZIE’S POINT OF VIEW
“Come on, Lizie,” my Mom yelled. I scurried out the door and into the car not realizing that I had forgotten my lunch. I quickly buckled my seat belt and watched our house disappear through the back window.
I sighed and looked over at my brother, who was jumping up and down in his seat. He couldn’t wait for school, but I could. When you’re older you have to fit in with the crowd. It all mattered how you looked, talked, and what you liked to get in with the ‘popular’ group. I just wanted to run and hide or go back to my old house with all my friends.
My mom pulled up to the school and I jumped out not waiting for her to say goodbye. As soon as I had gotten out of the car it was as if there were big lights and flashing signs that would say NEW GIRL because every head turned and stared. I walked over to a huge oak tree and leaned against it. A girl walked over to me and smiled. She had light brown hair and wore a lot of make-up…
