"Good Morning Chloe Louise. I hope you had a good nap last night." said Elena with amusement evident in her voice.

"Good Morning Elena" I greeted her with a bored tone.

"So are you ready for the first day of your new school ?"

"Yeah quite excited"

"So, get ready and come down, by the time your breakfast will be ready." she said while closing the door behind her.

"Will be there in 10 minutes" I said , slowly pulling myself from my bed.

Elena is my best friend, we both live in the same apartment near our school. She has always been with me in my bad and good times. I owe her a lot.

Today it's my first day of high school,So I'm quite excited.

Actually I completed my lower elementary schooling in the same school, but I moved from here to abroad for my upper elementary schooling with my parents.

And now I'm back to the place, I love the most .

I took a quick shower and wore one of my favourite torn jean and a crop top.

I applied a small layer of eyeliner and went downstairs with my school bag.

"You look gorgeous" said Elena

"Thanks babe. You look pretty as well" I complimented

We had pancakes for our breakfast, and headed off to school.

As we entered the school I could see many familiar faces and felt quite happy.

I headed off to office with Elena to get our class time table .

I had English for my first class and luckily Elena had the same class.

We went to our lockers and grabbed our books and headed off to our class.

The first class went quite well and the next the 2 hours we had different classes.

As I was on my way to the locker I got a text message from Elena saying that she would be waiting for me in the cafeteria.

Since I was very hungry I was in a hurry to have my lunch and in no time I stumbled upon someone.

"I'm..I...I..I'm Sorry". I said while staring at his irresistible ocean blue eyes.

" Ohh!! Sorry?? I think this small chick is scared of me." he said giving me a smirk.

"Huh!! Seriously?? You think I'm scared of you, if so you have absolutely mistaken me, since it was my mistake I felt sorry, that's it and nothing more.

And it's better if you don't show me your bloody attitude. " I said angrily avoiding his stare.

"Wohh!!Wohh!! Do you wanna die ?

No one dares to raise their voice in front me, I'm sure that you don't know who I am, and when you get to know, you will regret what you have done." He said arrogance evident in his voice.

"Regret?? Never!! I will never regret what I have said because whoever you are I don't care, Moreover you are a jerk"

I said sternly.

By the time the whole school had gathered around us, and were staring at us as if some show was going on.

In no time Elena came rushing towards me and started dragging me out from the crowd.

#Zach's POV#

Huhh!! Seriously? What does she think of herself ?

How dare is she to call me a jerk?

Do I really look like a jerk to her ?

Is she blind?

Every girls in this school wants to date me, because of my looks , pride etc , but how could she say that I'm jerk in front of whole school.

She is gonna pay for what she has done.

I'm gonna make her life horrible from today onwards.

I'll make her regret for each and everything she said to me throughout her life.

My thoughts were interrupted when I heard someone calling my name.

"Hey Zach what's up?"

It was my friend Nate.

"Hey bro" I said in a low voice .

"What's gotten into you man ? You sound strange."

When I told him the whole story, he started to laugh at me.

#Chloe's POV#

At present we were in the in the cafeteria having our lunch. I was enjoying my favourite cheesy pizza, while Elena was busy staring at me without having her lunch.

"Are you in the right state of your mind?" asked Elena with concerned eyes.

"yeah. Why do you ask?" I asked curiously.

"Aren't you worried of what you have gotten yourself into?" she asked with a questioning look.

"Ohh you are speaking about that jerk huh , actually to be frank I'm very happy after that fight you know why? because I always feel happy when I get into a fight and win over them, especially with useless jerks like him." I said happily.

"You seriously don't know what you have gotten yourself into. He is Zachary Anderson the school's popular boy, do you really think he would let go of this matter very easily, he will surely take his revenge" Elena said with worried face.

"I don't care" I said sternly.

By the time lunch hour came to an end.

In the afternoon 1st hour I had dance class and art for the last hour.

Unfortunately I had Elena with me only for English class.

My favourite class has always been dance because dancing is my passion. I love dance more than anything in this world. whenever I'm happy or stressed I dance. I have a special attachment with dance.

I rushed to my locker and took all the necessary things and headed off to my class.

In no time the teacher entered the class and greeted us with a bright smile and introduced himself to the whole class.

Few minutes later the door of the class room opened with a big thud.

For my surprise it was none other than the jerk.

why is he here, is he here to take revenge, probably no.

The teacher warned him saying not be late next time.

His eyes traveled the whole class and at last landed on me.

He came near my bench and sat next to me giving me his signature smirk.

I just ignored his stare and started concentrating on the class.

Our teacher said that he would be making pairs for the dance project.

Few minutes later the teacher started reading out the names of the students with their partners.

"Martin and Clara

Nathan and Alina

Gyari and Alisa

Blake and Chloe

.

.

.

Ooops I'm sorry Blake with Tori and Chloe with Zach."

************ ************

"Wha.....what? There is no way in hell I'm gonna be his partner" I blurted out loudly.

"Ms.Chloe Louise I think I have made myself clear"said the teacher with a commanding voice.

"Aren't you glad that your gonna get a chance to be my dance partner?" he said with a quirky smile.

"I guess someone's hallucinating" I said sternly.

By the time the teacher said that the due date to present our dance performance was next Monday which means we had only 1 week left.

"So when are we gonna start our practice?" I asked plainly.

"As per your wish 'Lil Muffin'." He said with a smile and left.

"Lil Muffin!" I repeated with a questioning look.

By the time the class got over and I went to my locker and grabbed my books for the art class and and headed off to my class.

The whole class went on smoothly without any drama.

At present I was waiting for Elena to show up so that we could go home.

Few minutes later Elena came up and we went home.

"It feels good to be home." I said to Elena.

"yeah" she said with an agreeing tone.

Later I went upstairs and changed into my Pyjamas and started reading novel.

Few hours later I got a message from an unknown number.

#Unknown: Hey What's up Lil Muffin!!!

"Lil Muffin?.... Freak!!! that's the jerk" I said with frustration.

#Chloe: From where the hell did you get my phone number?

#Zach_the_jerk: Who do you think I'm Lil Muffin!!! I'm Zach.... Zachary Anderson, I get what I want.

#Chloe: Whoever you are Zach or Zachary Anderson the great, for me you are always a jerk.

#Zach_the_jerk: Listen Lil Muffin!!! I just wanna know when are we gonna start our project!!! If you don't wanna do the project I'm totally OK with it because I don't really care about marks.

#Chloe: But I do care about marks a lot, so we are gonna practice from tomorrow.

#Zach_the_jerk: As you wish.

Good Night Lil Muffin!!!

"Lil Muffin!!! my foot."

I kept my cellphone aside and went to sleep. I wanted to have a good sleep because my very first day in my new school was filled with a whole lot of drama.

#Next day morning #

"Good morning babe" I said with excitement.

"Very Good Morning" said Elena, while drinking coffee.

We had our breakfast and headed off to college. The first two classes went on very well.

At present we were in the cafeteria having our lunch, when suddenly Zach enters the cafeteria and starts moving towards me with his signature smirk.

"Hey Lil Muffin!!! How you doing?" he asked me with a smiley face.

"I was totally fine till you arrived" I said sarcastically.

"So where are we gonna practice in your place or my place?"

"Mm.... I think it's better if we stay back here in college after the classes and then practice in the auditorium."

"Sure." he said and then left the cafeteria.

#Zach's POV#

So the real game starts now my dear Lil Muffin.

As I told you earlier I don't really care about marks,

On the project submission day I'm gonna humiliate you in front of the whole school in such a way that you may even quit the school.

#Chloe's POV#

After the classes I was waiting for Zach in the auditorium, few minutes later he came to the auditorium.We did a fusion of some latest songs and started practicing.

For my surprise Zach had some great and unique moves. This continued for the whole week and we were done with our practices.

#Monday morning#

Monday I got up with a vibe of 'I have got the moves babe'.

I had a quick shower and got dressed within few minutes and went down with my backpack.

"Woah!!Woah!! Someone's really excited!!" says Elena.

"Damn Yes!!!" I said happily.

I had my breakfast quickly and left to school a bit early. I was very much excited for this day. My only aim was to get first place in this Dance Project.

As soon as I reached the school I received a text message from Zach saying the he will meet me in the auditorium.

Few hours later the program started and everyone rushed towards the auditorium.

As I went to the auditorium I was searching for Zach. My eyes travelled the whole Auditorium and at last it landed on Zach. I went near him and sat beside him.

"Someone's nervous!!!" he said with his usual quirky smile.

"No I'm not" I said sternly.

But on a serious note I was a bit nervous because this was my first dance performance in Cristo Rey High School.

"So now we will have our final contestants, Zachary Anderson and Chloe Louise on stage please" says the host of the program.

I went up to the stage with Zach beside me.

My heart started beating so hard. I had a very different feeling. The whole school started clapping for us.

Then the music starts and we start dancing as if no one's watching us. We twirled and whirled for the beats of the music. I was totally lost in his ocean blue eyes during the whole dance.

As soon as the Dance got over we came down from the stage. Zach left the auditorium without even saying a word. I felt it was kind of weird.

Now the host came up to the stage with the names of the the winners in his hand.

I wanted to win this competition very badly.

"So my dear students any gusess who are the winners of today's competition?" the host asks excitedly.

Most of them in auditorium mentioned my and Zach's name which made me smile.

I was hoping for the best.
