AYANNA'S POV:

It's Monday today... That means a lot of things to me, well this particular Monday means a lot of things to me. And not all of them are all good. For starters, that means today is pre-game in practice, so should be an easy practice. Second, that means that the football game is tomorrow and we are facing one of our true competetors. And lastly, since it is Monday today, Caleb warned me about something that would happen and it made him happy to say it.

So, all of this stuff is giving me a headache and i seriously contemplate staying home today, but i know Coach will be pissed if i stay home.

So guess what that means for me.. Yeah, you guessed it.. School.

My alarm clock goes off and i groan. That stupid thing seriously needs to go to hell. I slam the off button and stand up and stretch. Not just those dainty little strechtes that you see in the movies, but a full out stretching that includes grunting and groaning as all my muscles pop.

Not the most graceful, but i never said i was graceful in the first place.

I look in my mirror and grimace. Wow, i can't remember the last time that i didn't care what i looked like. But after Bryson's and my break up, i really didn't care if the whole world thought that i was ugly. I still don't care, but maybe i should at least make an effort.

I grab a white thigh length skirt, a black half shirt and a flowery undershirt. I look at myself in the mirror and sigh. That will have to do.

I walk down the stairs, grab a pop tart, and am about to walk out of the house when my mom stops me.

"You look very nice today, Ayanna, does this mean that you are starting to get over that boy?" Mom asks and i roll my eyes.

"Mom! Leave it alone, ok? I have to go or i am going to be late for school," I reply bitterly and walk out of the house.

Jeez, why does everybody keep asking if i am over him? It has only been a little over three days since the break up.

I drive to school while listening to some Nickleback and singing along. I love Nickleback. I love a lot of music, and i know how stupid this is going to sound because a lot of girls don't like her, but i also like Taylor Swift. She always has a song about what i am feeling, so yeah. I guess whatever works, right?

When i finish parking that car, i hop out of the car and head into the school. I open my locker and start shoving things into my locker when Max picks me up, randomly, and spins me in a circle.

I screech in surprise and slap his arm until he stops and puts me down. He rubs his arm and gives me the puppy eyes.

"What was that for?" He whines and i roll my eyes.

"You can't play all innocent with me. You know exactly what you did," I tease and he sighs mornfully.

"Fine, beat me up. You know i won't say word to the athorities," he jokes back and i slap him upside the head.

When i mess up his hair, he scowls at me, and fixes it until it lays perfectly again. He is such a girl, i swear.

"Are you sure you're not gay?" I ask him.

"Uh, well, i do have a girlfriend. And i do love it when she kisses me, among other things..."he begins to say and i groan and slam my hands over my ears.

"Virgin ears," I say and he laughs at me.

"Yeah right, with a guy like Bryson as your boyfriend.." Max starts and immediatly shuts his mouth after he says that. He looks at me with a grimace and i shake my head.

'"It's fine, it's not like i'm going to tell you not to even say his name around me," I reply, even though it would be nice if no one mentioned his name, but i am not going to say that. That just sounds pathetic.

"So, what do you think Caleb is up to today?" Max asks as he slings his arm around Maggie when she walks up to us.

"Why?" Maggie asks in confusion.

"Well, good old Caleb basically warned Aya about today. So, i was just wondering," Max explains.

"Oh, well, i doubt he's smart enough to come up with something smart," Maggie says and Max grins at her.

"That's what i said," Max says happily and Maggie smiles back at him.

"No way? Great minds think alike," Maggie replies.

"Speak of the devil," I mutter as Sharon and Caleb walk right by us with smirks on their faces. Uh oh.

"Did you see that?" Max asks and i nod slowly. The identicley evil looks on their faces when they saw me standing here.

"Well, that can't be good," I state.

"Yeah, no kidding, Sherlock," Max says sarcastically and i flip him off. He gasps loudly and points at me.

"Teacher teacher," Max jokingly continues.

"Child,"

"Loser,"

"Jerk,"

"Double loser,"

"Psycho,"

"Snuggly puff!"

"What? Max That made no sense," I reply.

"Yes it did,"

"No, it didn't,"

"Yes it did,"

"No,"

"Yes,"

"No,"

"Yes,"

"Nope,"

"I said yes, gosh dang it!" Max shouts and i grin.

"Child,"

"Los...." Max starts, but Maggie cuts in.

"Ok! Enough, it's time for class," Maggie says with a grin at both of us. I stick my tongue out at Max behind Maggie's back and he sticks his right back, but Maggie catches him doing it.

"Max! What did i just say?"

"But! But, Aya just.." Max starts.

"No! Let's go, you will be late," Maggie says and leads Max away. I laugh at his expression, and he whips around to scowl at me.

I grab my books and head to my first period class.

By the time lunch rolls around i am relieved that nothing has happened yet. But it hasn't slipped my mind that something probably will happen, i just don't know when, where, and why. I guess i will find out soon enought though.

I sit beside Max and Maggie, but i can't help but notice the empty spot next to me where Bryson used to sit. I bite my lip and look away and continue to eat my food.

I watch as Bryson walks into the lunch room and look at me sadly before sitting next to the rest of the football team.

And it happens just like that. I am eating my food and not paying any attention to my surroundings when splash! Apple sauce, ranch, and other liquids are poured onto my head. I gasp in shock and turn to see Sharon grinning at me.

"You bitch!" I yell.

"That's what you get, but don't worry, there will deffinetly be more of your embarrassment later," Sharon replies, but i don't even hear the last part because i am to busy dumping my tray of food onto the front of her face and shirt.

She gasps and jerks away from me, but the damage is done. I look at her face and smile sweetly.

"Oopps,"I reply and she clenches her jaw.

"I am going to kill you," she screeches.

"Like i'm scared of you," I reply clamly and at that she smirks through the food on her face.

"Oh, that was just the beginning," she answers and walks away. I stare after her and share a concerned look with Max before hurrying into the girls bathroom with Maggie and try to get the food out of my hair and off my face.

After i get most of it off my hair, i sigh. I can't believe that just happened and i can't believe that there is still going to be something more. This day just keeps getting better and better.

~~~~~

By the last period of the day, i started to believe that Sharon and Caleb had lied when they said there would be something more that was going to happen, but then the entire school was called into the gym for an assembly.

I meet Max and Maggie in the gym and we sit on the first row of the bleachers.

"Nothing could go wrong at an assembly monitured by teachers. I think you'll be fine," Max mutters to me under his breath.

I nod, but i'm not to positive on that fact.

"Well, students, as you all know the school likes to have an assembly every once in a while to encourage those of you who can make it, to go out to the football and vollyball games," the Principle explains and goes on. This is the weirdest assembly i have ever been to, but i'm not going to complain, i got out of class and got away from Caleb and Sharon.

"So, with that being said, i would like to welcome Sharon, the head chearleader, to come up and say a few words and show us a slide show of events that have happened in the sports season," the Principle continues and that's when i start to panic.

I would not put it past Sharon to come up with something that would ruin me at a all school assembly.

"Hello there, fellow classmates and schoolmates. It's good to see everyone of you here today. Like usual, this year i have prepared a special slide show to show all fo you guys, but first let me say a few words. This chearleading season has gone by great, i believe it has anyway. And so have the sports so far. The football team is doing very well, even with a girl on the team, which let's be honest, no body thought that was a good idea.

"But anyway, it came out alright, but a few of us had some issues, normal teenage issues. But some of the issues were pretty significant. One of the biggest was how one of our very own football players completely lied about their background and who that person really is deep down inside.

"And you all may be wondering who i am talking about and it may come as a suprise to you that i am talking about our very own, Ayanna Jones. Now, i know that everybody thought she was just this sweet little innocent girl that just moved here this year with big dreams to go out for the football team.

"But folks, i tell you that it was a lie. She led us all to believe that she moved to this school on her own free will when in fact it was because she was caught dealing drugs at her old school and having sexual relationships IN the school bathrooms," Sharon explains and i shake my head and feel my face go white. That is not true at all!

First of all, i have never even had sex. I mean, seriously? ANd i have never delt drugs. The truth is, yes i was kicked out of my old school because the teachers and principle THOUGHT i was dealing them because they caught me in a comprimising situation with drugs.

I had walked into an abandoned room and saw my boyfriend, at the time, dealing drugs. I yelled at him to stop it before he got caught, but he wouldn't listen to me. So, i grabbed them from him and that's when the teachers and cops showed up and blamed all of us for the problem... I didn't deal drugs, i haven't even done drugs in my life.

"Most of you may be wondering why you even care because it's not like you knew her very well, but the truth is, we have always been a close knit school and then Ayanna shows up and squirmed her way into our lives and now we are fighting and drinking. Is that has this school is supposed to act? No, it most deffinetly is not.

"And that's not all. She is a complete and utter slut! I have made this power point to prove that to you Bryson, that you don't need her because she is nothing but a slut," she continues to explain and i bite my lip. What is going to show? I didn't cheat on anybody, but who knows what she has come up with.

the power point starts up with me sleeping in bed with Bryson, which if you remember was at the first party of the season. Immediatly after it shows me kissing Caleb a lot, and then when the group of us went to the Hub it shows Bryson kissing me.

So, that's who kissed me when we went there. That makes sense.

Then it shows us still at the Hub, but me kissing Caleb. Then it shows some pics of me kissing and holding hands with Caleb and Bryson. And finally it shows me kissing the guy at pizza hut.

I feel my face go white and i look over at Bryson. He is clenching his fists and glaring at me. He stands up quickly and walks out of the gym. I stand up and Max tries to stop me.

"Aya.." Max begins, but i keep going.

I run out of the gym after Bryson and find him sitting on the stairs outside.

"Bryson.." I whisper, but he doesn't make a movement even though i know he heard me.

" Bryson.. I'm sorry,"

"It hasn't even been a week..." he says quietly and i close my eyes.

"I.." I begin.

"I know i shouldn't be angry because i'm the one who screwed our relationship up, but it hurts to know that i didn't matter enough to you for you not to wait for at least a week," Bryson explains before standing up and walking away from me without so much as looking in my direction.

I squeeze my eyes shut as the tears leak out of my eyes and trickle down my cheeks.

I feel someone hug me and i turn and hug Max back.

"It's ok, Ayanna. I promise things are going to get better," he whispers.

"When? Hasn't my life sucked enough already? When is it going to get better?" I ask as my tears soak his shirt.

"I don't know the answer to that, but i know things will. I can't believe Sharon did that," Max says and right on cue Sharon and Caleb walk outside with huge smirks on thei faces.

I let go of Max and stalk over to them with tears still streaming down my face. Caleb has the decancy to look at least a little ashamed, but Sharon just smirks at me.

"How dare you lie about me like that!" I yell and Sharon raises her eyebrows.

"Oh come now, we both know they weren't lies,"

"No! We both know what you said were lies. I can't believe you did that," I scream.

"I told you not to mess with me and not to steal my boyfriend, but you did both, so this is all really to blame on you," Sharon says.

I feel the anger in me rising and i don't stop myself. I pounce on her and start punching and slapping her while she yelps in pain and tries to get out form underneath me, but it doesn't work. Finally Caleb realizes that he's a guy and can do something and decides to pick me up off Sharon.

I shove Caleb away from me and slam my fist into his face as well. He holds his nose and scowls at me.

"I hate you! You have ruined everything," I yell at Caleb and shove him again. Max grabs me from behind and holds me to his chest as i start sobbing with my chest heaving.

I think of Bryson and can't help but cry. I blamed him for us breaking up, but it was both of our faults. I'm sorry about all the things i said to him and i know that i can't take them back....
