Chapter One:
-beep,beep,beep-
The alarm went off for the fifth time this morning,even after I had violently threw it at the wall a few moments earlier. First day of school in a new city (once again) new people and new teachers, maybe even the promise of new friends to help me forget the old. (oh what a joy!) Peeking around my pretty spacious room from under my comforter,my line of vision stopped on my bedroom window. I begrudgedly saw the sun begin to rise ."Ugh,Please,please go away ..please..." I pleaded with a small whine. I colud just hear my moms voice in my ear as if she was standing over me, she would chastise me saying,"Now Nina Jaselle,last time I checked big girls don't whine." My lips pulled themselves into a small smile at the memory and I started to doze off again,and what do ya know the damn alarm again blared its dipleasure at me.
All I could do was push off the blankets and mumble a chain of profanities at my self and the soon to be murdered alarm on my floor. I peeled my self out of bed and sat up ,taking my obscenely curly hair and putting it a less than staisfactory ponytail."Nina!" an annoying voice called out to me, I grimaced as if it were nails on a chalk board. "Nina,Nina,Nina! Get up,Get up Get up!" The voice called again, an my waking brain idetified it as my little sister Kirra, right at that point I preferred the nails on a chalk board theory. Next was the sound of some one pounding on my bedroom door fiercely.
The grimace just became more pernounced till it was a full out scowl,i rubbed my temples with my middle and index fingers. " Kirra Anne Black! If you dont get away from my door in the next 5 seconds!" My ears perked up and i listened when I heard her footsteps stampede down the stairs. "Nina Jaselle?" My dads baritone voice yelled,i cringed. "Yeah daddy?" I shouted back. "Leave your little sister alone!" "But-" he cut me off, "I said stop it,thats final." I didn't even come up with a re buttal to the statement,when dad said it was final,it was final. Thankfully he couldnt stop me from thinking of mean things about her. That thought made me smirk triumphfully. I walked over to my Ipod stero and turned it on,and set it to shuffle letting Katy Perry seep from the speakers. I got out my clothes for the day, which consisted of distressed skinny jeans, purple,teal,gray,and white sandals, a white v-neck tee, a few bracelets to pull the look together. Then after taking a quick shower and flat ironing out all my curls , I was set to go. I took on last appreciatative glance in the mirror and opened the bathroom door, to my surprise there stood Kirra,"What the truck chick I thought you died in there I nearly cared for a minute."
I shook my head at her, "Shut up and go get my Ipod from the dock for me" she glared and walked away. I then went down the stairs and into the kitchen. I got a bowl down from the cabinet, scanned the top of the fridge spotting my box of cinnamon toast crunch. Holding it in my hand something clicked in my head that the weight of the box was all types of wrong, I opened it to discover it already half empty. My ears went hot and I counted to 10 (I dont play when it comes to food) ,taking deep breaths."Kirra..?" My voice was sickly sweet,she came into the kitchen after setting my Ipod in my bag. "Hmm?" she questioned, as I walked up on her. (More like stalked) "Did you eat any of this cereal?" One hand gestuerd to the box, while the other petted her head as if she was a puppy. She made a face from what I could tell,"Yeah..Why?" My eye twitched.
I continued on with y interrogation,"because darling baby sister,that is my cereal,that I bought with my it happens to be my favorite." my tone came off as non-chalant as viably possible. "sorry?..." Kirra dragged out the word as if it were a question,i cut my eyes at her,my gaze meanacing. I made my tone of voice only a few octives above a whisper," You know Kirra I could kill you for this,people don't generally come looking for spoiled,bratty,theiving,aggravating,cereal munching little rats." Abruptly I started laughing,due to our close proximity she flinched at the sound. I walked away from her putting the cereal back up on the fridge,.when I looked back at her her expression was un easy, "I was only kidding about the killing you part baby sister..but seriously touch my stuff with out permission again and there will be hell to pay."
Nodding slowly she backed out of the room, I could have sworn I heard her mutter something along the lines of crazy bitch,it just made me laugh. I got an apple out of the fridge and walked into the den,plopping down next to my dad on the couch,"Sup pops?" My mouth full of gala apple. Dad looked at me from his peripheal vision.." Don't you have school?" I took hold of his wrist and looked at his watch then I pulled out my cell phone and checked the time on it also. I had a good 10 or so minutes. "Yeah,im just waiting for the midget." He eyed me sternly,i blanched. "okay,okay im waiting for my darling sister Kirra." My eyelashes fluttered. "No one likes a smart ass Nina." I grinned and kissed his cheek before getting up."Love ya too daddy." I threw the apple core away just as Kirra was walking down the stairs,back pack in tow."You ready?" I nodded and grabbed my bag from by the door then my car keys. "Here,Thought you might need these" Kirra was holding out my heart shaped earrings. I took them and put them on. "Thanks Kare Bear." We made our way out the door and into the car.
A few minutes later I'd dropped Kirra off at her middle school,making sure to remind her to stop by the office and pick up her class schedule. While I was driving it got way to quiet so I turned on my radio and turned to my favorite station,tapping on the steering wheel along the way. I checked the time on dash,nearly 8:00. I was late for my first day,bad enough school had been in for about a month already. I found a park and tried to find my way to the main office. I was decent power walk when I turned the corner,walking smack dab into a hard body and falling down right on my butt. (dude,talk about epic fail.) It didn't take long for my brain to register that linoleum really hurts when you make an impact, I silently mumbled a chain of ows, owches,and oohs. "Damn,I'm sorry." A deep voice spoke above me,looking up I was met with an outreached hand the most beautiful pair of honey brown eyes id ever seen."My bad." he said,I took his hand and he pulled me up in a swift fluid motion.
While he picked up my bag for me I took the small window of time to regain my cool. (You know do a few whoo-sahs) "Here ya go." I took it out his hand and smiled shyly,sure that my dimple was making its ever occuring appearance. "Thanks." The fog that is awkward silence statred to feel the air between us. I started to walk away, "Uhm bye.." I squeaked and bumped pass him down the hallway.
Soon enough I found my way to the office,finally. When i opened the door I found there was a line,to kill time I texted and looked around me,i noticed I was behind this super duper tall girl. Chick could pass as Shantell O'neil. (haha I made a funny) When it was my turn the lady called me up to her desk
