Okay so this is just a first chapter to see what people's feel on the whole idea is. I've been dying to write a high school AU for soooo long now and finally drafted up this. I've got pretty much a whole storyline planned out just wanted to know people's thoughts before I go writing more.

Enjoy, opinions would be most appreciated!

A/N: Okay so I go away for two weeks tomorrow, one week in Birmingham with my friend and then back to my home for a week as well (I'm at university five hours away so it's rare I ever go home) so it means updates will start slowing for that time period unfortunately. 

Thanks for sticking with this though and I hope you enjoy!

A/N: Well, this is it. The final chapter in a story I predicted was never even going to be more than 20 chapters long. 

The response to this story has been truly awesome and I thank each and every one of you who read, reviewed and messaged me personally about the story.

Now I'm set to start another AU (although suggestions on what sort of AU would be great), hopefully you guys will enjoy that one too.

Thank you again, I'm actually quite sad to say goodbye to this one.

Also notable mentions, thank you to Kenzieboyd08 for beta'ing and for helping me with this one! And another thank you to YokaiShinari for helping me shape this story. Couldn't have done it without you both.
