This is my first attempt at a SIU story, so I hope you all like it. I got my inspiration off of the wonderful book 'Before I Fall' by Lauren Oliver, and the movie Groundhogs Day. I'm going to make it as different as possible. So, if you've read or seen the movie, it will be different. But, the same. Just...see. This preface was inspired by the preface of Before I Fall. Sort of. I hope you'll stick with me and watch this story progress and everything, and review :)

The person talking, obviously, is Cece. This is set approx. four years in the future, in their senior year. So...that makes Cece, Rocky, Dina, Deuce, Gunther, Tinka, and 'The Complication' are all 17-18. Flynn and Henry are 12. Ty is twenty-ish. Eh, those are all the characters for now.

Sometimes you blink, and you miss everything.

One.

Two.

Three.

You blinked, didn't you? What flied by your eyes this time? Your sibling being born, a grandparent dying, a friend falling in love with one of your other friends? Geeze, I've seen it all. But...I blinked often. And I missed things.

Sometimes when you blink, you may pass right over the things that matter most to you. But you could never know, because your eyes were closed for that millisecond. That fraction of a second, and your whole life changes.

Let me start by saying a few things.

First off, my day was NOT supposed to start this way. It was supposed to be the best day of my life. My last day of senior year. The last day of my old life, the day before the new. It was supposed to be filled with joyful tears, good-byes (the good and the bad), and parties until dawn. When, in my dreams as a young teenager, never did I see it ending quite like this.

Second, you'll never know. It's not like you wake up and know these things. It's not like you have that tingly feeling in your stomach. When I was little, I used to think they meant something. Now, I don't think they are anything other than cramps. And I didn't feel them today. Okay, a little bit of nerves, but that's just me. But hey, what did I know? I didn't know to say 'I love you' to my mother, my step-dad, or Flynn, or my one-year old brother Kirk. I didn't even remember to say bye as I raced out the door.

I guess it's not hard to believe that I slept in my last day of school. I woke up exactly an hour before the first bell would ring, and the principal (Mr. Biter) had threatened to not let me graduate if I was late one more time. I didn't doubt his threat. He was SCARY. I met Rocky and Deuce (who were sucking face, as usual), and Dina just five minuets before homeroom. I had RAN to school, because my car was a piece of crap that had broken down the day before.

Of course.

In the five minuets before school started, 'The Complication' (my current boyfriend) also found me. He whispered something to me that made my shiver and blush. Tonight, would be magical- between us. It had to be. Today was supposed to be magical. That's why this date is the date we had chosen.

I wasn't late, I slipped into my seat just before the bell rang. So far, I had been lucky. If only...

I hadn't blinked.

All the chapters will not be this short. Usually longer. This was just a short beginning. Review; the next chappie will be out soon!
