"Kayley, get up it's time for school! Sean is will eat all of your breakfast if you don't hurry up!."
I woke to sun streaming in through the window, the sound of light waves crashing outside, and my mother's obnoxious voice coming up the stairs from the kitchen below. I looked to the clock and it was 6:45 a.m., the first day of junior year. I wasn't unhappy about going back, but I would miss the sun that was bound to leave soon for the season.
I got up and went to the bathroom that Sean and I shared. He is always leaving it a mess and makes me clean it up. He'd say, "I don't care if it's messy, it's you that does so you can clean it". Ugh, he is enough to drive me insane, but on a good day, he is my best friend.
Sean was only a year older then me and we are the best of friends. I can go to him with anything and he'll always listen. But today he was already pushing my buttons by leaving the bathroom floor all wet from his shower.
"Sean this is just gross. I don't want to be walking around in your gross shower water." I yelled through the door. I knew he could hear me but was ignoring it. Trying to just forget it I jumped in the shower and let the hot water unknot my muscles. It felt so good that I never wanted to get out. I still had to get ready and pick out an outfit so I got out, toweled off, and went to my room.
I'm not very picking when it comes to clothing, but I still like to look good. I'm about 5'5", slender but curvy in the right places, with russet skin and long brown silky hair. I guess I am your average Quileute girl. I look almost identical to my mother except for my eyes which everyone says are my fathers. Sean looks more like dad.
I went to the dresser and pulled on a pair of dark skinny jeans and a loose gray v-neck t-shirt. Then quickly ran a brush through my hair but didn't do anything with it, it would just dry straight. I don't really wear any make-up but decided maybe a little for today. I put a quick coat of mascara on (which I don't really need because my eyelashes are already extremely long) grabbed my flip-flops and bag and headed down stairs.
"Finally Lee, what were you doing up there, baking a cake?" Sean said with a grin on his face. He was a little bit more excited then me for the first day back. He had gone to visit Grampy for a month over the summer and got back yesterday; he was dying to see everyone.
"Nope, I was just getting dressed." He hates it when I'm logical, but I find it funny. I went over to mom and gave a kiss on the check, "Morning mum."
"Good morning Kayls, excited to be going back to school?" mum said.
"Umm, not really. I wish it were still summer but it'll be good to see some of my friends." By friends I meant my in-school friends; they I only saw once over vacation and that was at Jessica's birthday party. Instead I spent all my time with "the crew".
"You'll be fine, don't worry about it. Oh, I have to run to Aunt Emily's house to help her with some curtains she just bought, so I will see you guys when you get home. Have fun, love you!" With that she was out the door and our dad had just walked in.
He looked tired and really hungry. I got up and went to give him a hug. "Hi daddy, you look really tired. You didn't double shift and work at the garage did you?" I asked somewhat concerned. I knew with his super wolfy genes he didn't get as tired easily, but no one can go completely sleepless. Well I guess except of vampires, but that's different.
"Don't worry, as soon as your brother phases I'll be able to stop patrolling." He said with a gin. They were constantly talking about the day Sean would finally phase. It was annoying how much they talked about wolf stuff. I would probably die if I didn't find most of it interesting.
The three of us sat in the kitchen talking until we heard a beep outside that was our ride. We got up to go, said bye and went out the front door. "Have a nice day kids. Be good, love you." Dad yelled from the kitchen before we shut the door.
I ran up to the front seat of the Jeep and hopped in. This would probably be the best part of my day, seeing Ryan. Ryan's been my boyfriend of five years. When I was younger I would go to his house to play with his younger sister lily and he would usually be playing with Sean. We became best friends and in 6th grade he asked me out. I had the biggest crush on him and everyone knew it. People thought it was really cute and ever since it has always been me and Ryan.
"Hey Kayls, ready for today?" He asked as he leaned in to kiss my check.
"I guess, I just hope today goes by fast." I said with a chuckle and sigh.
"That's my girl!" he said cheerfully squeezing my shoulder. Ryan always knew how to make me relax. We talked for the rest of the quick ride and parked in the back student lot. We got out and walked into the main buildings office to grab our schedules. Ryan grabbed my hand and gave it a little squeeze as we headed off to our first periods. Of course I don't have first period with either Sean or Ryan, just my luck to start off alone. I got to the door and turned to face Ryan. He bent down and I thought he was going to kiss me until I felt his cool breath against my ear.
"Stop worrying, you'll be fine. I'll be right here after class." he quickly brushed his lips against mine, winked, and walked away. It took me a moment to regroup and pull myself together.
"Here we go....again" I said and walked in.
