Prologue

~ Fiona Donovan ~

The first day of school. First of my senior year. My last year before leaving this school. Nothing could get me down today.

I practically bounced down the hallway, dodging people in the crowded corridor as I headed to my locker, which was coincidentally next to my boyfriend Derrick’s locker. I hadn’t seen him since the beginning of summer, and I looked forward to seeing him. Of course. He was my boyfriend and had been for three years. We were that couple, the ones everyone was sure would get married after high school.

Was he the love of my life? Maybe. I wasn’t sure.

We’d been together so long that we were completely comfortable with each other. I could see us dating while in college.

Hey, Fiona, Bronte Heisman, my best friend, cried, running toward me. She looked at me strangely, causing me to glance down at myself. No, I looked good. Cute, if I did say so. I’d taken extra effort this morning to look extra good today, modeling my outfit after one I’d seen on Princess Kate—excuse me… Princess Katherine. Of course, I was rocking more curves than her, and I wasn’t as tall.

Bronte, I exclaimed, hugging her. It had been a lonely summer. While my boyfriend was in California, my best friend had been in Florida visiting her father. Granted, Bronte and I had talked or facetimed constantly, but it wasn’t the same. I missed you.

I missed you, too. Um, look—

Just as she started speaking, I saw Derrick over her shoulder. I saw…

Fee, wait, Bronte urged, but my feet were already moving.

What the hell, Derrick! I demanded, shoving his shoulder while he kissed—kissed!—some blonde chick I couldn’t recognize. He slowly pulled back as if he’d expected me to show up but yet was annoyed by the interruption. My arms crossed, and I glared at him while he pressed a kiss to her temple, his arm hooked around her neck.

I couldn’t believe this. We were about to make a huge scene.

In a busy hallway.

With over a hundred of our classmates milling around.

On the first day of school.

On my birthday!

Embarrassment burned through me, and my eyes stung. I was humiliated by this, and I would not further it by crying.

Derrick, I gritted out, my eyes going from him to the girl, who had to be new because I’d never seen her before, then back to him.

Honey, why don’t you go to our class and I’ll meet you there?

Honey? He called her honey? Was that her name?

Kay," she said in a little girl voice that made me roll my eyes and want to gag a little. She bounced on the balls of her feet to peck a kiss on his cheek, then after a judgmental glance that scanned me from head to toe, she flounced off.

I turned my gaze back to Derrick, my eyes wide with irate demand. Anger burned inside me. I wasn’t heartbroken. I was pissed.

We’re breaking up, he said.

You think? I snapped.

His tongue stuck into his cheek as he stared at me. Well, then, I guess we agree.

That was the route he wanted to go? Like he wasn’t being a giant douche canoe? In front of everyone? The entire school knew Derrick and I were dating, and everyone around us was staring at the drama ensuing.

Why? It was all I could get out in the midst of my rage and embarrassment. Why was he breaking up with me? But more specifically, why was he breaking up with me like this? He could have called me any time this summer. Done it privately.

He shrugged negligently. "I’m
