Chapter 1: The Morning of Mornings

Ruthie's morning had been horrible from the start. Her alarm clock went off an hour late because of daylights savings. Being the last one up, there was no hot water left in the shower. She was in such a rush to leave so not to be late she didn't have time for breakfast. When she arrives late to her first class of the day she realizes she left her 15-page report on the counter at home.

The only thing looking up about her day was that she had plans to eat lunch with Vincent. She and Vincent have been dating for about three months. She was very happy with their relationship. She thought herself lucky to have such a great first high school boyfriend. She was really excited about lunch because they had both had so much going on lately they had no time together.

After placing her books in her locker she headed off to meet Vincent at his. On the way she bumped into Martin and Mac at Mac's locker.

"Hey guys! What's up?" Ruthie greeted them with a bit f excitement.

"Hey Ruthie. We were just talking about what a drag today is, daylights saving always throws off the day." Martin replied solemnly. "What are you so happy about?"

"I'm having lunch with Vincent today," her excitement growing more apparent.

"Oh, Vincent. Guess we better let you go so you can start your 'date'" Martin said irritated. "Come on, Mac."

"Okay… Bye, Ruthie."

"Bye, Mac."

I don't get why Martin hates Vincent so much. Ruthie thought to her self. Before, she thought it was because the time he and Mac bumped into Vincent at the movies with another girl. They weren't dating exclusively then, though. Now, they had been official for two months. Ruthie soon remembered she was trying to push the bad morning out and focus on her time with Vincent. She then rounded the corner to the hallway where Vincent's locker was and got quite a shock.
