CH.1
I crossed my ankles under my desk. I rested my head on my right arm while flicking my pen back and forth.
"Sam Witwicky?" I heard my best friend's name being called up. I smiled over at him. I gave him the thumbs up. I closed my eyes as I listened to Sam babble about His great grandfather who was some explorer. He held up a page with a bunch of drawings on it. I stared in wonder as I recognized the symbols were the same to the ones tattooed in a line down my back. I would have to ask him about that later when I had the time. He began panicking when people laughed about something he said. He looked to me quickly and I took a deep breath and smiled at him. He took a deep breath and continued. When the bell rang I stood from my seat, grabbed my brown messenger bag, fixed my black t shirt, and adjusted my faded jean mini skirt. I smiled at Sam while I walked out of the class room. I went to my locker and smiled at Mikaela \.
"Hey Cece! Will you come to this party tonight? I have to show up with Trent but I would love it if you came!" she said smiling. I nodded as I grabbed my black leather jacket and zipped it up. I grabbed my keys off the small hook and stuffed my messenger bag into the locker. I grabbed my smaller brown leather purse. I waved goodbye to her and walked outside. I knelt down at the top of the stairs to tie the black ribbon on my wedges, when I felt something happen to my head. It began pounding. I grasped my head and whimpered.
"Are you ok?" I heard someone ask. I looked up and nodded. I stood and wobbled a bit. I steadied myself as Sam rushed past me to his dad. He looked back and gave me the thumbs up. My phone buzzed in my pocket.
See ya later tonight at 5! Wear something cute too J ~Mikki
I smiled and clicked the lock button. I walked over to my black 2009 Scion. Rolling down my window I saluted to Sam with two fingers and revved the engine. After laughing at Sam's facial expression I pulled out of the parking lot and headed for home.
I opened the door to my house to be knocked over by my German shepherd Rex. I laughed and called out to my parents. Hmmm no response. I walked into the kitchen to see a note taped to the fridge door.
Cecilia-
Your mother and I are on a trip to London for about 5 weeks for business. I trust you will handle Rex and the house. Do not get into any trouble while we are gone.
From the desk of,
James Lennox
CEO of Lennox Inc.
I sighed and ran my hand through my hair. I slipped off my leather jacket and let Rex out in the back. I slipped off my wedges and walked up the stairs to my room. The walls were painted a dark red while my desk was black metal, my comforter was black and red with a Chinese dragon on it, and my black fluffy rug. I stripped off my black t shirt and bra. I pulled out my red bikini, and a large off the shoulder white shirt with the word Lennox written on the back in black. I walked into my bathroom to put on the bottoms of my bikini and put on my light blue daisy dukes. I took a look at myself in the reflection. My bright green eyes stood out against my olive skin and dark waist length hair. I took a straighter to the dark curls. After about thirty minutes my hair was as straight as a board. I applied a little black eye liner to my eyes and a little mascara. I applied some light pink lip gloss and smiled at myself in the mirror. I put on both of my silver rings and my necklace that had a small robot looking face on it. I remember when I had found it in the small compartment on my black bike. I clasped the silver choker around my neck and grabbed a towel from my cabinet. I checked my room once more before walking down the stairs. I let Rex in and grabbed my Iphone. I unlocked it and texted Sam about the party and that I would meet him there. I then called Mikki asking her to stop by my house and pick me up. I sat on the couch as I turned on the TV. I flipped through the channels before noticing that there had been an attack on the base that Will was. Will Lennox is my older brother. Him and my other older "brother" Robert Epps were stationed at the base in Qatar. I listened closely to the Sec. Def as he talked about the details of the attack.
"And we believe that there are no survivors." Those words rang through my head as my blood ran cold. I tried calling my Sister-in-law Sarah but she didn't pick up. I took deep breaths as I began crying. I heard a car honk in the front and glanced out to see Trent and Mikki with another football player in his car. I patted Rex on the head and tied up my wedges and grabbed my purse. I locked the door behind me and hopped into the car.
