Chapter 1 Riley's POV
"Hey, Izzie hurry! We have to go now if we want to be on time," I shout for my sister. My name's Riley Amelia Matthews and I am 16 years old. I will be starting my sophomore year at John Quincy Adams High School along with my little sister Isadora Morgan Matthews who is in the same grade even though she's a year younger. She's sort of a genius, and my best friend in the entire world. Besides our parents and little brother, she's the only one I had when things got rough as well as I being there for her. August 'Auggie' Allen Matthews is our little brother who is now 7 years old and going to the second grade. Our parents are the famous, Cory Matthews, our teacher for the millionth time, and Topanga Matthews, something beautiful you want to love, who is a ruthless attorney at law. We also own a cafe called Topanga's that we inherited from a dear family friend. We have lived in the same home since I was born, however, I previously went to another school where things weren't so good. When Izzie and I finally broke down and told our parents what was happening, they immediately pulled us out, dad quit because of the lack of support of the school, and we are all now attending JQA.
"I'm coming Riles, geez, you would think you would be more chill about starting a new school," she deadpans.
"Actually I'm even more nervous about it, so thanks for the vote of confidence," I shoot back sarcastically.
"Yeah, yeah, so how do I look big sis?" she twirls around showing off her first day outfit. She's in a very pretty yellow sundress with white baby dolls and her hair pulled into a ponytail. She opted for contacts instead of her glasses and she tops it off with a jean jacket. My outfit was similar except purple, and I had my black jacket over it along with my boots.
"Beautiful Iz, but now we really have to go," I say grabbing my keys, purse, and backpack off couch and table before heading out the door, Izzie eventually following. I got my license at the beginning of May, and my parents brought me a car this past August. My parents took Auggie, which will soon be my responsibility which I don't mind, so today it's just me and Izzie. When we finally arrive to the school, I park my car and just stay seated. Suddenly, I feel someone grip my hand, and I find myself squeezing back.
"It's gonna be different Riles, better even. I know you're nervous, and so am I, but we can do this. Daddy knows and he won't let it happen again, especially after he found out about, well you know. We just have to stick together like we always do." I look over at my little sister, my other half, my best friend ever, and I smile. I can do this, we can do this.
"We can do this. As long as we stick together, we can do anything," we hug across the panel and then exit out of the car. We link arms and walk to the school with confidence, our heads held high, and smiles on our faces. As long as I have my strength, which is linked to my arm, there is nothing I can't do.
