Ok, confession time:

I am till this day ashamed of the first line in my story, which, honestly, makes me burst out laughing and start blushing like an idiot. Please, get through the stupid corny line.

"I heard, she like, got a boob job over the summer." Katrina said. "Doesn't look like she did." Linda put in. "Even if she did, it's not going to help her get a boyfriend." Kathy added. I was sitting at lunch with my 'friends' Katrina, Linda, and Kathy. We were the most popular cliques in our school. I know, I know, that makes me sounds self-centered, but it was true. I was their leader, and they were all trying to impress me with their stupid gossip. Inwardly I sighed. I was bored. I looked over a few tables away. There sat my boyfriend, Nico Di Angelo. No one knew we were dating, he had asked me to keep it a secret. Nico was picking at his food, as his friend Melvin talked to him. Melvin was new to our school last year, and slowly he and Nico befriended one another. Which made me happy, I was so tired of seeing him sit alone. Melvin had brown puffy hair in a bowl cut, a circle head and dark skin. His nose was small, his eyes Asian looking, even though he was 100% American. The most distinctive trait about him was his height. Melvin was extremely short, which made him an easy target. Melvin was ok I guess, a bit nerdy, but a relatively happy nice guy. So anyway, they were all gossiping about Taylor, former most popular girl, and my former best friend. Well, she thought we were. I didn't like her. She was too mean. To her, she was so much better than everyone else, and if they weren't perfect, they didn't deserve to be liked. But, no ones perfect, not even Taylor. So I told everyone Taylor's deepest secret. She had a father, and a dad. No mother. Taylor was born from two men's genes, inside a donors body. It almost made me feel bad, when I saw her walking down the hall, trying to look perfect, but noticeably unhappy. Then I remembered the things she had done and said. All the girls she befriended and ruined; all the people she trash talked, all the gossip she spread. I remembered that every guy who wasn't flawless that asked her out she laughed at. I remembered how she spread gossip, real or made up, throughout the school in minutes. I remembered the way she told me to break the heart of Nico Di Angelo when I had a school project with him. How she laughed about it and thought it would be fun. I guess you could say I was a form of Karma for this school. I sighed and looked over at Nico again. His black silky hair hung in his eyes, his skin olive and flawless, his body perfectly built and his features perfect. He almost looked Asian, but he was part Latino. And part God. I smiled to myself, remembering I was part God too. I still found it a little hard to believe, but it was true. My mom was Nemesis, Goddess of Revenge.

"I have a hard time believing that Melvin." I told my friend, walking down the hall to 5th period. Melvin was, well, a huge nerd, and he was obsessed with any talk of alien invasions. He was trying to convince me of something that happened recently in Florida. "Whatever. It's true." He insisted as we separated going to our different classes. In the hall I spotted Nate Sarcoom, and resisted from cringing as he glared at me. Two years ago he was teasing me, which was practically his daily routine. Kaitlin, his girlfriend then, told everyone his secret: that in his free time he wrote down insults to different people, and he forced a girl Silvia into abortion. He sat with Jason Raul now at lunch, which was another guy that was ruined by Kaitlin. As for Silvia, she surprisingly talked to Sam Tam now, who was gay. There were rumors that she was gay too, but I wasn't sure that was true. I walked into the classroom a few seconds before the bell rang. The teacher started droning on about things, and I tried to listen. I did. But I have ADHD, and I zoned out far too often. Everyone looked like they were about to fall asleep, and we all sprang out of our chairs when the bell rang. After a few more tedious long periods, I headed out of the schooling area of our boarding school. Most kids went outside to do homework, but I headed to the stairs in our building, by some snack machines. I stopped as I felt familiar cool lips on the back of my neck, and arms reaching around my shoulders and sliding down my chest. I turned around and grinned at no other than Kaitlin. This was the time I lived for, after school, when we could be together. Yea, I know, she's the most popular girl in the school and I'm just…me. But she's been my girlfriend for a little more than a year. And I love her. She grabbed my hand and we ran upstairs to my room. I shared it with Melvin this year, which is probably why we became friends. We were nothing alike, he was short, cheery, and nerdy, I was fairly tall, definitely not cheery, and I could hardly pay attention to my classes. I pulled Kaitlin into my room. The dormitories here were fairly large. They had a living room with couches, two desks, and a fireplace. The other room contained two beds, two small closets and nightstands, and a small TV. Kaitlin followed me to my room and flopped on my bed. "I am so tired. My back has been killing me all week. This school has to give us a break." I snorted thinking to Kaitlin's large soft bed at her house. I had a hard time believing her back hurt very much. Kaitlin sprang up as we heard the door open and shoved herself in my closet. Melvin walked into our room, picking up a book from his nightstand. I was flopped on my bed, one arm behind my head, with the TV remote in my hand, flipping through channels. "Hey Melvin." I said lazily, as if I had been there the whole time. "Forgot my book. You want to go do homework now?" I shook my head. "Later. I'm tired right now." Melvin shook his head disapprovingly. "You need to stop putting off your work." He sighed and left the room, grumbling, "Your life." Kaitlin fell out of the closet laughing and came to sit down next to me. I shut the TV off and threw the remote on my nightstand. "What's so funny?" I asked. She just shook her head as her laughter subsided. "Your crazy." I said grinning. Kaitlin lowered herself over me, her face inches from mine. "I guess that makes you crazy for loving me." She said sweetly, flashing her eyelashes teasingly. I felt my face grow warm and my breathing grow faster. Despite the fact we had been dating for over a year, I still felt high every time she got close to me. Kaitlin's hand moved down from my shoulders to my abs, close to my…legs. I shivered and we starred at each other. Melvin strode into the room. "Forgot my bookmark." He murmured than walked back out. Kaitlin and I starred at him, than at each other, than Kaitlin burst out laughing. She curled up against me and kissed my neck. "Not funny." I murmured. "He could have seen us." She snuggled into me more and my skin tingled. Still laughing, she choked out, "Exactly."

I pulled out my iPod earplugs as the bus I was in pulled into a parking lot. For a fieldtrip, our boarding school took us to the beach, with the excuse that we would learn about the ocean and its ecosystem for science. We had been driving for a couple hours, and I was exhausted from doing nothing. Everyone popped up and crowded off the bus. Our grade wasn't very big, and we all fit in two buses. Melvin and I were on different buses, but Kaitlin and I were on the same. Kaitlin was talking to her friend Katrina and a guy named Evan Narcissi. There was something about the way Evan looked at her that pissed me off. I mean, Id seen almost every guy in our school has looked at her approvingly or longingly, but something about Evan made me uneasy. I shook off the feeling and followed everyone off the bus. The beach we were at also had a pool with a hotel. We all went into a locker room that was specifically reserved for events like this. The locker room was confusing, the family changing room huge and connected to both the girls and boys locker rooms, which would make it easy for either one of the genders to cross over to the other room. Our school was in the family room, boys and girls were mixed together, since we weren't actually changing, just pulling off our cover ups. We put our stuff in the small lockers and took off our clothing over our bathing suits. My swim trunks were black and red, sort of resembling fire and darkness. As I finished putting my stuff away I realized everyone else was already outside. I sighed and closed my mini locker. As I was heading out, two small hands covered my eyes. I felt a girl's bare shoulders against my bareback and tried not to freak out. I turned around but the hands were still covering my eyes. "Guess who." An all too familiar voice said. I smiled and removed Kaitlin's hands. Ok, I admit it, I couldn't help but stare at her, in a bikini that was cream colored and mimicked shells.

"Are you ready for a day of fun at the beach? Where we learn about the fantastic ecosystem of the big blue, listen to the waves, swim with the fish, and paint rainbows in the sky to mimic what a perfect world we live in?" Kaitlin chimed in a high chirpy voice. I snorted and chuckled lightly. "Most definitely." Kaitlin wacked me lightly. "Terrible grammar. Mrs. Kentuck would not be happy." "Hypocrite." I mumbled. "Anyway, I heard their not going to let us into the water. Too afraid we'll float away with the waves and drown." I snorted. "Were 14. We can go into the ocean without dying, thank you very much." Kaitlin stretched out and yawned. "I don't know. I'm so bored and tired I might fall asleep in the ocean." I laughed and she smiled slightly at me. "I'll look out for you drowning in the ocean then." She winked at me. "You gonna save me?" I shook my head. "Of course not. I'm gonna take pictures and laugh." She gave me a false glare as I laughed. I knew very well what her real glares looked like, and hoped I would never see one again. "We should get going." I told her. She pursed her lips. "Come on look excited Kaitlin." I taunted. "Yippy doo da day." She grumbled. I rolled my eyes and kissed her on the forehead. Then I just couldn't help it.

We found ourselves sitting on a bench in the locker room; her hands twisted in my hair and tracing my back, mine on her waist. I moved my hands upward to the small of her back. I had the urge to move them around and under her bikini top, but I just couldn't do it. I heard something drop and someone gasp, and it took me five seconds to pull away from Kaitlin. Standing in front of us staring, was Melvin.
