Graciela's POV

I walked into school with the chilly wind blowing against my cheeks, you know the feeling when you feel that something big is going to happen but you don't know what?

Yep that's exactly how I'm feeling right now

"Gracie Gracie!" I heard a voice that could only belong to one person call, it was Marilyn , my best friend in Water Bridge High, she rushed towards me in a flurry, I wonder what is up in that  head of hers now

"Hey what's up" I greeted with a smile

which she returned sticking out her tongue

"Have you heard the latest?"she hushed glancing around

I smiled , this was so much like Marilyn, if there was anything happening, she was surely among the first persons in school to know about it

I wonder how she does it

"What now?" I asked rolling my eyes at the way she leaned towards me

"You won't believe it!"

Okay now I was getting impatient, what could it possibly be?

"Come on Lyn just spit it out"

"I heard he's transferring  back today" she replied

"Who ?"I asked furrowing my brows in confusion

She looked at me and mentioned the one name that was able to insert fear deep inside me

HAYDEN MCANDREW

what did you say?" I asked feeling the blood rushing away from my face and my heart sped up furiously

"Yeah I heard he's back" she replied giving me a sympathetic gaze

"Didn't he transfer to another town? Why is he back now?" I asked totally fricking out

Wait!

If he was back, that means that he might be in school today 

Oh no!

Ever since I could remember, Hayden has made my life a living hell, worse was that I couldn't remember how I've ever offended him

He became more harsh that it even got a little physical

He isn't like that to anybody else

I think its just me

When he'd transferred to another town two years ago due to his family's business, I had been so relieved and happy, I had even begun to enjoy my simple life

Now he's back! 

This was my final year of high school,why did he return now ?

Relax , I told myself taking in
