There was just something about Amber that made Hanna want to get to know her. Amber is a Bad-Ass type of girl. She never had any close friends, at least not any that were girls, she got into fights, and didn't care about her grades, barely passing her classes. On a typical school day, she arrived on her bright red, Harley motorcycle, wearing a leather jacket, that always matched her choice of leather boots for the day, with skinny jeans, tucked away neatly into her boots. She wore her curly chestnut-brown long hair pulled back in a loose pony-tail, which she would let loose after taking off her helmet. Her eyes are a deep emerald green color, and she always wore makeup. Bright cherry-red lipstick, dark smoky eyes, thick black eyeliner and mascara, and usually wore black or bright, neon colored polish on her nails.
Hanna, unlike Amber, is, or at least she was before she met Amber, a sweet innocent girl. She had a few friends, and got along with everyone, and was known as the nicest girl in the school. All of her teachers loved her, and wished that all of their students were like her. Hanna never had any boyfriends, and only made out with a boy once while playing spin the bottle. Hanna was very pretty. She had long Golden-Blonde hair, that she either straightened, or curled on school days, always making sure it looked nice. She didn't even need to wear makeup, because she was pretty enough not to, but she did wear eyeliner, a little bit of mascara, and depending on if she wanted to or not, some eye shadow, but nothing that really stood out. When she did wear eye shadow, her bright blue eyes looked even brighter. All she wore on her lips was chapstick. Hanna wore anything from jeans, to skirts and dresses, but always looked cute and innocent in whatever she was wearing.
Amber was just starting off her Senior year at Fairfield High, as was Hanna. They had never had any classes with each other, until this year. They were in three of the same classes, science, history, and photography, and both girls shared the same lunch break as well. Hanna had not seen Amber in history or science, and was beginning to wonder if she was ever going to show up to any of the classes that year. It was the first day of classes, and Hanna was sitting in her seat in photography class.
Bell Rings.
The teacher began to call off the names from the attendance sheet.
"Karen Adams?"
"Here."
"Brian Branch?"
"Here."
"Amber Carter?"
"Amber?" asked the teacher again.
Just as the teacher was going to continue, Amber walked through the door, and took the last empty seat next to Hanna.
"And your name is?" asked the teacher.
"Amber." she replied, carelessly tossing her bag on the floor to the left of her desk.
"And why are you late Amber?" the teacher questioned.
"Girl problems." Amber replied.
"Okay just don't let it happen again." Said the teacher.
The teacher finished taking attendance, and started explaining the first project the class would be working on. They were going to be working in pairs, inside and out of school. The teacher paired the students up, pairing Hanna with Amber.
"Amber, you will be working with Hanna. Maybe you will learn some manners from her." the teacher remarked.
Amber rolled her eyes. The class continued, and the teacher explained the rest of the project, handing out papers explaining everything. For the last five minutes of the class, he told the class it would be a good idea to exchange numbers with their partners. Hanna tore a piece of loose-leaf out of her binder, and neatly wrote down her name and number. She handed it to Amber, who took out her phone and entered Hanna's number as "Hanna Good Girl Hanson" and closed her phone. She said she would send Hanna a text so she could save her number. Hanna felt butterflies in her stomach as Amber spoke to her. All she could manage was to nod her head in response.
The bell rang, signaling the end of the day. Hanna walked to her locker, thinking about Amber, and trying to figure out why a girl would cause her to have butterflies. She has had crushes on boys before, but all of the guys she had been interested in, had already been taken by popular cheerleader bitches. Hanna could not stop thinking of Amber, and couldn't figure out why. As Hanna walked to the bus stop, she received a text from Amber,
"Here's my number goody two-shoes."
Hanna caught herself smiling after reading that text and quickly closed her phone. As she waited at the bus stop, she saw Amber zoom off on her motorcycle, down the street.

It was finally Friday, and the two girls entered photography class. The first week had been kind of boring, because it was just taking notes about how to use SLR cameras, and the different parts of a camera, the steps taken to develop film, the different chemicals used, and the history of cameras, all the way back to the pinhole camera. Amber didn't even bother taking any notes during class, instead she spent her time drawing and doodling in her notebook. Hanna on the other hand, took notes, keeping them extremely organized and neat.
"Great I don't have to take notes in three of my classes cause I can just cheat off of goody two-shoes." Amber remarked, in a sarcastic tone, under her breath but still loud enough for Hanna to hear.
"I'm not as good as you think I am Amber." Hanna whispered back loudly.
"Girls, is there something you would like to share with the class?" The teacher asked, looking towards Amber and Hanna.
"No nothing. We were just discussing our assignment, sorry, it won't happen again." Said Hanna, who's face was now a light shade of crimson.
