"Trust me, Zariah, you'll soon learn that you can't live without me." Tris smirked.
"I highly doubt that." I scoffed.

Zariah finds herself in a sticky pickle when her mum has to go on a business trip for a year. She has to move...
"Zariah Miller! Get your ass down here! You'll be late for school!" My mum shouted.
"I don't wanna go!" I yelled back.
"If you're not down here in less than 10 seconds you can kiss your phone goodbye!" She threatened.
"Rude." I scoffed, but got up nevertheless.
I bolted down the stairs and to the kitchen where mum was.
"Why are you still in your pjs?" She asked.
"Because I just got up then." I said in a durr tone.
"Do you even know what time it is?" Mum folded her arms over her chest.
"Er..no."
"8:15. School starts in 15 minutes!"
"Holy Squid! I'm gunna be late!" I sprinted upstairs, changed into some high-waisted, rip, black jeans, my black crop top with my red flannel around my waist and a pair of sneakers.

Grabbing my skateboard, keys and an apple I raced out the door.
"Zariah?" My mother sang my name.
I stopped and turned...my school bag.
"Urgh!" I skated to mum and took my bag off her, "Thanks mum. What would I do without you?"
"Absoluetly nothing." She laughed, "Don't be late!"
"Not making any promises!" I yelled over my shoulder.

"Late again, Miller?" Miss Armel, my math teacher, sighed.
I bit into my apple and nodded.
"Just sit." Miss shook her head.
I shrugged and took my seat at the back of the class.
I'm not usually a bad girl, to be honest, I'm literally like a nerd. I give my homework in on time, I get mostly A's, the occasional B's. My attendance is 100%. I am an ex tutor--the girl got expelled--I try hard in school.
See I'm a good student, my only flaw is that I'm always late to every single lesson.
I don't even know how!
The door swung open and the 4 bad boys of the school walked in. Their eyes turned to where I was sitting. I almost shat myself but, I didn't show it. I kept a chill face.
Their leader, Tristan, walked right up to me, "Move."
I smirked, "Not happening."
"You're in my seat. Move Miller."
Wow he knows my name...Well, last name.
"This isn't your seat. I sat here first..you move." I scoffed.
A few "ooh's" went around the class.
Connor, the nicest one of them all, came up to me as well, "Zariah, please."
"No Connor, I was sat here first." I was standing my ground.
Tristan huffed, "Fine. We'll move. But, you're not getting away this easy." I smirked, knowing I'd won.

"Class dismissed." Miss Armel said. I got up with my bag and my apple core and walked out the classroom. Finding the closest bin, I threw it in and made my way to my best friends who were waving like maniacs at me.
"Zariah, you're in so much trouble!" Courtney scolded.
"Courts, I'm sorry. I woke up late...again." I apologised.
"This is what? The a millionth time you've been late?" Jordan joked.
"Erm...no. A million and two." I laughed, "Come on, Jordy, I thought you were counting!"
We all burst out laughing but then it stopped, "Miller!"
"Shit." I cursed.
"I wanna have a little chat." Tristan smiled a sly smile.
"Listen, Evans, I couldn't give a shit if I stole your place in maths. I really couldn't, and if you can't let it slide then, that's your problem not mine." I shrugged and turned back to my friends.
They blank stared at me and a slight chuckle left my mouth.
"Miller, baby, I wouldn't test my patience if I were you."
"Evans, baby," I mimicked, "You're not me. And I do what I want."
A couple snickers came from behind me.
"Watch it!"
"Sorry, what was that? My mum told me not to listen to assholes." I smirked, "Move along."
Groaning, Tristan and his gang of bafoons..and Connor walked away.
"You're mum is awesome." Jordan admitted.
"I know, Jordy. I know."
*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-* Hope you enjoyed the first official chapter.
What do you think of Zariah?
Do you like Courtney?
You will love Jordon! That's not even a question !
IMPORTANT NOTICE: I have discontinued Stuck Together because honestly I was too depressed at the time to continue it and I would've made you guys depressed too if I continued the way I planned it to go. So, I apologise but hopefully this book will be better and I will finish it. Because of school, I don't think I can update every week so I think I can do once every 2 weeks. Maybe I can give you the odd one here and there. Thank you...
