"Life is too short to wait for tomorrow"

shoot open as the stupid alarm blasted me to get the hell up. I slapped the snooze button and closed my eyes. Shit! I jumped out of bed as I remembered it was my first day of school.

I walked into my closet to get an outfit that would look somewhat good, as they say you only get one first impression. I rolled my eyes at the thought. It's not that I dont care what people think of me... just kidding I could give two shits.

Walking back out with a pair of ripped black girlfriend jeans, a cropped hoodie, and a pair of combat boots. Casual yet cozy, I liked it.

I glanced at my phone, 7:45. I have about ten minutes to get to this stupid school. I walked out of my room and ran down stairs to the kitchen to get the key to my motorcycle. I was about to open the fridge when I say a note on the door, Had to run to work, sorry their are egged in the fridge. Have a great first day! -Amanda. I didn't have time for eggs. I grabbed a breakfast bar out of the fridge and ran out to my bike.

As I pulled up to the school, I noticed how big it was. I mean big! Or it was just me being small. I park my bike by the front, as I get off I noticed the all the eyes in my direction, do people really not have a life. I take my helmet of and lock it in my bike. Walking into the main entrance I still notice the stars, but now the whispers too.

Dame thats one fine ass!

I'd tap that!

Guys we all know Greysons going to get her first.

I rolled my eyes at the last one, I'm not an object asswholes.

Shes so short and cute!

Who does she think she is?

She looks like a hoe.

I ignored them and walk around trying to find the office while not getting trampled. Once I finally find it, I get my schedule and noticed the bell was about to ring. I look down at the paper and of course my luck I had trigonometry first. Now all I have to do is find room... 204 cant be that hard.

I walked out of the office and into the hall looking up at the door signs trying to fine the right ones, I picked up the pace as the minute were getting shorter. Than I slammed to a wall and fell on my ass.

"Watch it!", the wall growled in a harsh tone. I looked up and saw a Greek God. A beauty at that, a sharp jaw line, midnight black hair, and pricing grey eyes. Oh and boy was he tall.

"Me watch it? Your the one in my way how could you not see me asshat!" I snapped in his face. The people in the hallway stopped and I heard a few gasps. Great he must be the bad boy.

"I couldn't see you because your so dame small and shor-", I cut him off before he could finish

"Ok listen here jerk, just because your head is too far up your ass to notice anything doesn't mean you have to insult me," I stood on my tippytoes to try to look over his shoulder to find that stupid room," God your ego is probably bigger than this school. Where is room 204?" I looked up at him to see his jaw clenched, guess no one gives him shit. Sorry not my case sweetie. He pointed down the hall, I was about to walk around him when stuck his arm out in front of me. I snorted and walked under it. I started running down the hall when he shouted, "Wait what's your name!", "That's for me to know and for you to never find out!" I screamed back as the late bell rang. I opened the doors, all eyes turned to me. Well more like down to me. Why is everyone so freaking tall?

"You must be Hazel right? I'm Mr. Carson." I nodded my headed and was about to walk to the back of the room when the teacher told me to introduce myself to the class, I walk back to the front of the room when the door swung open and low and behold asshat walked in. He looked at me and walked to the back of the class. I rolled my eyes and started talking. "The names Hazel, I moved here from New York a few days ago, and yes I know I am small, I'm only 4'10.", I walked to the only seat open and to agin with my bad luck, it was next to the Greek god. The eyes in the class followed me as I sat next to him, I even noticed the teacher stopped talking. I shifted uncomfortable in my seat, ya sure people looked at me but it gets annoying. Bad boy picked up on this some how and growled, the class gasped and and teacher started to stutter but began to finally talk. Why the hell would he growl? Is he a fucking wolf? I looked up at him only to find is eyes on me. I gave him a small smile, I noticed his foggy grey eyes softened a little but looked away and clenched his jaw again. Hey dont get me wrong he was an ass but did help.

As soon as the bell rang I jumped out of my seat and headed toward 2 period, probably was going to get lost again. I grunted at the thought, it was still passing period so there were still plenty of people wondering around in the hallways. I tried to focus on where I was going but my thoughts keep drifting back to him, god I dont even know his name. I was interrupted by a slap, on my ass.

I froze and turned around to find a smirking jackass. I was T going to be treated like an object. I grabbed his wrist and twisted, hard than I kicked him were the sun dont shine. He crumbled to the ground as I put my lips to his ears and whispered so only he can hear. "I may be small, but dont underestimate me, and if you do that ever again you will regret it. Do I make myself clear?" I made my voice a deadly whisper as I twisted his wrist farther. He nodded his head viciously. I gave him a sly smile and turned around only to be met with a fuming badboy, he fists were clenched as his sides. I scoffed and walked towards second period.

As I entered a few minutes last due to getting lost, everyone fell silent. I rolled my eyes for the hundredth time today and made my way towards the back of the room. I sat down next a bright red headed girl with dark drown eyes. She had a dust of frekals on the bridge of her nose, she looked about 5'5. You could tell she was a natural beauty. She glanced over at me and smiled.

"Hi! I'm Scarlett! You must be Hazel right?", she said with too much enthusiasm. I gave her a question look, how does she know my name?

"Your the talk of the school! You stood up to The Greyson Grey, sat next to him, and he freaking growled at the class because you were uncomfortable! Oh also you beat of a boy three times your size!", Scarlett said in one long breath. I just sat there in shock. What is it with this Greyson guy and how the hell does everyone know that? Scarlett looked at me.

"Did I say that out loud?", she nodded and said,"Gossip travels faster than STDs in this place." I blurted out in laughter, "You and me are going to make great friends Scar!".

Me and Scarlett talked during the whole class not bothering to pay attention to the teacher. I learned that she was an only child and her parents are divorced. She plays the piano, over all she was really chill. We compared are schedules and found that we had Gym and Physics together.

We walked in to the cafeteria to together and headed towards her table. There were 3 other people sitting there, 2 boys and 1 girl all laughing there heads off. They stopped when we stood at the end of the table.

"Hey guys this is Hazel, shes new here and sitting with us from now on.", Scarlett said after a few seconds of awkward silence the girl spoke up.

"Awww, she so small! I'm Oliva by the way, but you can call me Liv!". Olivia had wavy blond hair with light blue eyes, she looked around Scars height. I was caught off guard with a wolf whistle, I sanped my head towards the source of the sound and say the 2 boy. Both had dark brown hair and soft green eyes.

"The names Jake and I'm single." He said with a smirk. His twin, I think slapped him upside the head and introduced him self.

"Hey I'm Carter, quick question, why is badboy Greyson Grey looking right at you?", Carter said as I sat down between Scar and Liv. I snapped my head only to be met pricing snow grey eyes. I dont know why but I gave him a small yet soft smile, I swear his eyes softened for a split second than he turned around.

I looked back at the table to see everyone's mouth opened.

"What?" I questioned. "Its just Greyson never looks at somone like that! Not even his bestfriend!" Liv exclaimed.

Scarlett gasped and than decided to scream,"HE LIKES YOU". The whole cafeteria went quiet. My face was probley was red as a tomato. I glared at. Scar and stormed out of the lunchroom, heading towards the bathrooms to cool off before I kill somone.

After a good thirty seconds I found it and pushed the door open. I was about to turn the water on when the door swung open to a vary angry Greyson. I gasped and walked backwards away from him as he keeled getting closer to me.

"Who likes you? Who the fuck is it!" He screamed and raised his hand. I flinched and coward away into the wall. I waited for the impact but the exact opposite came. Greyson grabbed my chin gently and kneeled down in front of me.

"Haze, I went ever hurt you. I dont hit girls. Now tell me, whose the boy that thinks he can like my button?"

"Ok one, Scar was talking about you she thinks that you like me because you were staring at me like a creep, and 2 did you call me your button?"

He chuckled at this, "Ya, because your small like a button and your nose his shaped like a button."

"I thought you were supposed to be all bad and mean. And stop calling button I'm not small." I did by best to give him a glare. He gave me the smallest of smiles. "You look like an angry bunny when you do that, want to skip the rest of school with me and get some icecream?" I raised one eyebrow at him,"Its my first day of school and I barely even know you. Let's ditch this bitch!"

As we walked out of the bathroom I looked up at Greyson's face, it hardened as he put on a Badboy persona. I could only think of one question Why did he take it off for me? I was ripped out of my train of thought when I saw Carson and Jake rushing towards me.

"What the fuck Haz-", Jake stopped talking when he saw who I was with.

"What are you doing with him Hazel? Where you guys in the bathroom? I swear if you even touch-" he was cut off again, but this time by me.

"No, Jake we didn't do anything, I'm fine and since when are you so over protective of me we just met?"

"Duh! Its because your so cute and small!", Carson said with a know-it-all tone. I felt Greyson snake his arm around my waist as he glared at Carson.

"Any way," I say dragging the y, "me and Grey are going to skip to to get some icecream, you guys can come if you want." Greyson growled and picked me up while he took long strides toward the door. I gasped at this action. Once we were out side, he put me down and tried to grab my hand but I would let him.

"What was that for! I dont like being touched!" I sneered at him. He grunted and opened his car door for me. I rolled my eyes and got it. Greyson got in on the other side and started the car.

"How did you learn to fight like that" He asked with his eyes still on the road.

"Used to live in New York, a girl needs to know how to defend her self against horney men.". He chuckled at that.

We rolled up to a small parlor in the back of a big parking lot. It was a cute place, the theme seemed to be pastle colors like blue and pink, I liked it.

"What would you like button?" I heard Greysons deep voice say as he looked down at me. "Chocolate and strawberry please I said to the person standing behind the counter. He gave me a small smile and asked Greyson. He grunted out his order, as I pulled my wallet out to pay I saw him already give him the money. I frowned a little, the boy gave us our icecream as we walked outside and sat at a far away bench.

"Let's play twenty question!" I said a little too lound. Greyson just looked at me and nodded.

"I'll go first, have you ever had a boyfriend?" I tilted my head to the side and looked at him, he shrugged, "Yes, I did back in New York. Do you have any siblings?" I asked sternly telling him that subject was off topic. "No it's just me and my parents. What do your parents do for a living?"

I breathe hitched at this question, "My 'dad' is a CEO of his company, an-d, um my mom she, passed away a few weeks ago." I voice cracked as I looked at my shoes. I didn't realize I was crying until a thumb touched my cheek and wiped a tear away, well that was unexpected, I glanced up at him to be met with soft eyes. In one swift motion he scoped me up and cradled me into his chest. I could take it anymore, I broke down in tears while Grey whispered sweet nothings in my ear and rocked us back in fourth. I dont know when or how but I ended up falling asleep in his arms feeling safe for the first time in a long time.
