A Twist in Our Story
Chapter 1
Jessica stared out of the window that was in the middle of her room. She sat their looking at the sunrise. Today was the day, she thought, the day I can meet him. She turned to face her room. It hadn't changed much over the last century, just a few new additions. She walked across the room to her closet and got ready for school.
"Ha!"She said out loud, "Me going to school."
She shook her head in disbelief and pulled the maroon colored blouse over her head, messing up her hair. Jessica was as pretty as they came. She had gorgeous golden locks that hit just below her shoulders, her eyes were a gorgeous chocolate brown color; sometimes you could get lost in them. She wasn't too tall but she wasn't short, she had a body that every girl would kill for. Jessica knew that everyone envied her but she didn't dwell on the too much. A noise caught her attention and with lightning speed she turned around.
"It's just the wind," she said "just the wind."
She grabbed her cream colored jacket off the chair that was pushed into her desk. Of course it wasn't cold outside to her but she had appearances to keep up. She checked her watch and ran downstairs and out the door, she didn't want to be late for her first day of school.
Ryan rolled out of bed and looked at the clock: 7:03 am, great. He went to the bathroom that was connected to his room and took a shower. He let the cold water run for just a minute or so, just long enough to wake him up. Then he let all his worries go down the drain with the hot water. He got out of the shower and went to his closet. School, the last place I want to be. He pulled on a light gray t-shirt that accented his muscles perfectly, slipped on a pair of dark jeans, and called it a day. He went downstairs to have breakfast with his sister and aunt.
"Good morning!" his sister, Molly, said.
"It is way too early for you to be this perky." He said as he poured himself a glass of orange juice.
"I'm excited! I haven't seen my friends all summer!" She said sitting down at the table with a bowl of cereal.
"And whose fault is that?" he asked while sitting across from her with the toast that just came out of the toaster.
"It's not my fault our parents died…" she said.
Ryan looked up at her with a shocked expression.
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean it like that" she said with a guilty look on her face, she knew Ryan blamed himself for their parents accident.
"No, its fine, you were just being Molly: sarcastic and says things without thinking." He said with a smirk on his face.
She stuck her tongue out at him, as she pushed herself away from the table and took her bowl to the sink.
"Where's Jennifer?" Ryan asked as he took his dishes to the sink.
"She had a meeting with her professor about a paper she had to write or something, but she told us to have a good first day." Molly said with a shrug.
Jennifer was their aunt. Her parents had named her their legal guardian incase anything happened. So after the accident, they came to live with her.
"Well, we better get going or we're going to be late for or first day." Ryan said as he and his sister walked out the door on their way to their first day of school, without their parents.
