A few months ago, all my fics here were deleted as a part of a malicious joke. Pretty much, i've always been proud of my writing, cause it's the one thing i'm good at so it was a big blow. Even worse, my computer had crashed about a month before, therefor all my fics were gone completely. Thankfully, people have been sending my copies they had saved and i've slowly begun to repost over at fanfiction,net and now i'm going to start here as well. This story is no wheres near over, and i'm looking forward to writing more chaps ;) Hope you all still enjoy it, this time around.

Chapter 1:

Where would I place myself in the popularity status of Winston High? Well, that’s hard. Considering that I am invisible, which means that I can't be labelled. Or at least nobody ever noticed me and took the time to label me.

We have the Smarts, the kids that sit in the front of the class and raise their hand for every answer while kissing our teachers’ asses for some reason which is stupid because the teachers already love them.

Well, there isn't anything wrong with being smart. I’m smart, smarter than I’d prefer actually. But you see, there’s different kinds of smart. There's the smarts, smart. The kids that enjoy reading textbooks for fun and look forward to homework. Then there’s the people who are smart but don’t show it, usually the stoners and the troublemakers. And then you got the people who just sit on the side lines and do their work as it comes but don’t look forward to it, like me and the majority of the school that has brains. Then you have the airheads who don’t get a thing and are like teaching walls because their heads don’t absorb any new information unless it has to do with shopping, make-up, or boys. Yeah, I bet you can guess who they are right?

My school is the most cliched school on the planet I bet. I seriously hate it. It’s like a teen movie come to life. We have our jocks, our stoners, our smarts, and our outcasts, our nerds, our preps and then you got us.

Me and my two friends who no one knows exist. Don’t believe me? One time I actually got sat on. Afterwards the guy quickly apologized and said that he didn’t see me there. Seriously, how could you not see me! It wasn’t like I blend into the bench.

Seriously, I still don’t know how I don’t stand out, not that I want to. But it's pretty obvious why I would. My hair is bright red. It isn’t dyed or highlighted, it's natural. Unfortunately. Although I’d never dye it I still dislike it.

And lucky me, last year it was ‘in style’ to dye your hair red. But did you ever notice that when you see someone with dyed red hair, it doesn't look natural at all? It comes out more purple or fire engine red. It never comes out quite like mine, which confuses me as to wonder why nobody still can't see me.

Along with my red hair I have green eyes, I stand about 5’9’’, and yes I have been told to try out for basketball, and I weigh about as much as a toothpick. Well, maybe not that skinney, but I'm not exactly on the heavy side at all. And seriously, I have no idea why because if you seen my eating habits, you would not know how I stay so thin. It's a medical mystery I tell you.

So, that’s me. Wouldn’t you notice a girl like me in a crowd full of blond hair and glitter? Yeah, I'm the one with bright red hair and black eyeliner. But still, I'm invisible.

My two best friends in the world are of the same status but they don’t dwell on it nearly as much as I do. Jake, is around 6 foot with dark hair and brown eyes. His life revolves around cars. Seriously, the guy can fix up anything and figure out what's wrong with just one look at your car or even sometimes just with a little noise you make, imitating your hunk of junk, he can pinpoint exactly what your problem is. He’s a genius at that. He wants to own his own shop and could care less about me talking about how we are nobody's in the crowd of high school cliched students.

He simply tells me that we should be happy that we don’t fit into a category, that we are unique. And he also threatened to do something to my car next time he fixes it if I don’t be quiet. Yeah, he loves me.

My other friend is Carrie. We have been friends for as long as I remember seeing as though our moms were best friends since they were in grade school. She's about 5’5’’ with blond-ish brown hair and green eyes also. And let me tell you one thing, she is in love with Jake. And Jake, he simply doesn’t know it.

So that’s us, the invisible nobodies. Me and my two friends, who happen to be destined for each other and me, left with no one.

You say my life is dull, well you are far from right. I actually do have fun, lots of fun. Probably more fun than normal kids my age because me and my friends don’t hold back. We hang out all the time and do some pretty crazy things that I would not like to discuss at the moment, because the police are still looking for the group of ‘gang members’ that decided to have a paintball war in the Wal-Mart parking lot. I plead the 5th.

Well, so that brings me here. Tonight we decided to go see the newest parody movie that totally makes fun of cliches and me, Jake, and Carrie were going to label the characters as real people in our school. You say it's cruel, I say it's hilarious. Especially because the characters really fit the profile.

So while Jake was getting the food and drinks Carrie and me went to find three seats. Always the back and center baby, the best seats in the house. So… we found them and sat down. I always have to sit in the end because Carrie always insists on siting next to Jake.

The movie previews started rolling to pass by the 5 minutes we had left and Jake came in and handed us our sodas and popcorn.

And then our night took a turn for the worse. Wouldn’t it just so happen that Jonah Andrews, and his two best friends, Martin and Kyle have to come see the movie too? And sit right in front of us. I swear, they didn’t even take a glimpse to see who they were sitting in front of, once again the sign of invisibility, so now I am staring at the back of Jonah Andrews head. Although his hair is quite nice.

So, who is Jonah you ask? Well to put it lightly he is the most popular, wanted, adored, and gorgeous guy in our school. Totally part of our cliché. And yes, I admit he's gorgeous. Anyone who says he isn’t, is out of their minds.

He's about the same height as Jake so he is totally past the 6-foot mark and has the darkest hair I have ever seen, it's seriously the definition of black. And his eyes aren’t even a normal eye color. They are gray and blue. Yes both, and that alone makes you want to let out a girly gasp. Let's just say that his body, is perfect. He isn’t too muscular but not scrawny at all. He's perfect. And everyone knows it. Including himself.

So, him sitting in front of us totally just ruined our night. Now we can't make fun of him and the other popular's in our school because he is sitting right in front of me and will definitely hear.

My friends and me exchanged sad glances and slumped in our seats as the movie started.

It wasn't nearly as fun watching it without saying the names of kids in our classes but it was still funny.

So, here we were halfway through the movie when the blonde bimbo comes on the screen, who is a spitting image of Melissa Conners, our very own head cheerleader and girlfriend of the very same hottie that’s sitting in front of me.

We hear Jake whisper her name, not caring anymore and Carrie starts cracking up.

I did too, except at that moment… I was also drinking.

So guess where my drink went… out of my mouth and all over Jonah Andrews.

Now, my mouth is agape and he is standing up glaring at me as he wipes the second hand soda from the back of his leather jacket and neck while I am horrified and mortified and my friends are laughing even more.

Gulp, I don’t think I'm invisible anymore.
