Chapter 1. my day

My name is Stella Swan. I live in Uncle Howie's children's home. It's run by Howard Percy the meanest, cruellest nastiest man I've ever met. You'll find out more about how bad he is later but for now, let me tell you about my day.

First Angus (her real name's Agnus but we just call her Angus. well not to her face) woke me up by throwing a bucket of ice water over me. "Hey" I gasped "what was that for?" I shouted up at her " not gett'n up girly" she laughed in her southern twang. I HATE her voice it Oozes hatred and dark sarcastic humour. I'm surprised she hasn't been burnt at the stake for witchcraft.

"Well chores to do get up" she said stalking out of the room. I suppose I best be getting dressed(and dried). Sigh. Oh well.

I'm dressed now and heading down to the food court to get my breakfast and my chore sheet for the day.

I made my way to the back of the line. When it was my turn

I got 2 pancakes, 4 slices of bacon and a glass of orange juice and made my way to my usual table where Ava and

Shane already sat arguing about which is better cheese or ham. Wow they're weird. "Hey" I mumbled "Hey its Stelly belly" "Stella!" They both chorused at me as I sat next to Shaun. He got me in head lock and gave me a nuggie. Honestly I didnt stand a chance he may have eluminous pink hair but he was HUGE he plays rugby and wrestling so when i say huge i mean montain HUGE, but none the less i screamed "LET GO OF ME YOU JERK!" while trying to wiggle free

"let her go dude" Erik said from behind me. Shane pouted but let me go. Thanks I said as he sat down next to me.

I noticed he was fighting a smile.

"what are you laughing at?" I asked him

"You really wanna know?" he said his eyes sparkling darkly

"yeah" I replied

He leaned down right beside my ear and whispered "your hair is a little unorthodox" then he laughed in my ear an leaned away smiling.

"Ava I'm going to the bathroom coming?"

I really don't have to ask Ava doesn't let any of her friends

Go to the bathroom on their own because when she was a kid she got mugged on her way to the zoo bathroom

since then If she doesn't go with you herself she gets SOMEONE does. "Yeah of course" She said

Following me down the hall and into the girls room.

When i saw my reflection in the mirror i didn't know wiether to cry or scream so i settled for a groan and covering my face with my hands

in embarassment my hair looked like a haystack, sticking up in awkward places. My sapphire blue eye's had purple bruise's under them and my skin was too pale i just looked. Sick.

"ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh Ava what am I gonna do Erik saw me like this" I practilly sobbed on her. "I'm gonna kill shane" she muttered "you looked fine before he nuggied you" she said in a voice so matter of factly that I could'nt help the giggle that escaped my lips. she was sooo funny when she made death treats. She was WAY to innocent and fragile looking to pull of death threats. She has pale skin, big bright green eye's that were framed by big, thick, log black lashes she has short multi-coloured hair (the right side of her head is yellow and red, the left is pink and black and the middle is green and blue. i know weird right?). She wears clothe's that can one day be disturbing and the next day be girly then backto disturbing today she's girly. pink top with white short's and yellow high heels.

"you'll really kill him for me?" i asked her

"i'll do ANYTHING for you, Stell you KNOW that" She said totaly serious.

"Then help me look..." I hesitated looking for the right words "fabulous" I smiled "YAY" she exclaimed jumping up and down and clapping her hands

OH MY GOSH! WHAT DID SHE do TO ME?

"Ava what did you DO?"

I was Barbie-fide! My hair was HUGE my eye's were lined with SO MUCH liner

they looked like cup saucers my skin was sandy beige with big red lips. I no longer looked sick I looked. Nice.

"I made you fabulous" she said in awe "I was horrified she KNOWS I hate dress up and make up and well high heels and anything like that but she's changing me

Erik's voice came through the door then

"Come on guy's I have your chore sheets lets get to work" he said. "Coming" we both said walking to the door.

When he seen me ERIK'S eyes grew to saucers "um um" he shook his head and said eyeing me "you clean up well, here y'all, your chore sheet's" he handed us our sheets and said " Stella your with me, today Ava your with Jordan" he looked at Ava sympathetically and patted her shoulder

"If he tries anything ,anything at all tell me."

He said "Me and Shaun will take care of it" he said looking dangerous. "okay" Ava said suddenly very scared. I patted her shoulder and said, "It'll be okay honey" she nodded shakily and said "well see you guys at lunch" walking away from us fighting tears of worry I looked down and read mine and Erik's schedule. Ugh Angus hates me.

"Well come on then best be get'n started" Erik said

Taking my hand and dragging me to the stables.

Cleaning the horse's stables wasn't that bad. It was actually

Fun me 'n Erik had a blast. "Ughh this is DISGUSTING" I had groaned at him half crying. "I am knee high in shit. Litaraly"

"Aw come on Stell its not bad." he said."Easy for you to say you had a horse before" He also had his jeans tucked tight into his wellies, his sleeves rolled up to his elbows

and his red and white checked shirt open to reveal a white vest top. Erik was SO hot. He has dark brown hair with one dark blue streak as his fringe. His hair was cut in that cute kinda messy bed head look but also not so messy that you'd think he was a slob. He had the same sapphire coloured eye's as me. Well maybe a shade darker than mine. He had a strong nose an full lips. He was muscular,but not in a rugby player way and not in a science greek way kind of in the middle, but make no mistake he's strong enough to kick ASS. "what?" he said after noticing me staring "nothing" I said blussing a deep (DEEP) red.

I looked at him through my lashes. He was smiling.

I looked down and smiled. Then A RAT suddenly appered right next to my foot.I screamed a REALY girly scream,and Erik looked up startled. Then to my total embaressment I sliped trying to scramble away and was lying on my back in the mud. Well I was telling myself in was mud although the smell said different.

Erik (of course) was laughing. Hysterically.

"Are you?" break. Another laugh. " Okay?" he gasped between laughs. I threw a lump of muc (he wishes) at his chest. That stopped him laughing. "I'm fine just help me up" I said through clenched teeth. He smiled, looked at his chest were the stain was. "you want to start a shit war?" he said it like a challenge he knows I can't resist a good challenge. Jerk "Maybe" I said standing up. He walked right over to me "you sure?" he whispered in my ear

"yeah" I whispered back "okay then" he said shouted (toatly taking me of gaurd) "CHARGE!" and then he threw a shit ball at me laughing. "You sneaky son of a bitch"

I laughed throwing a ball right back and then we started a poo-ball war.

About half an hour later we had formed a truce. Well actually had Erik made me say "I give I give" about 40 time's and I was actually LAUGHING! Its been SO long since I've laughed "we were suppose to be cleaning the stables NOT dirtying it even more" I pointed out "well my side's done. What about your's?" he asked

"Em" I said eyeing my side " It could use some work" I said blushing he stroked my flushed face and said "come on we'll do it together" he picked up a pitch fork and handed it to me, then walked over and got the wheel barrow

"Lets get started"

It took us both about 10 minutes to Clean hole my half which

Means we had 5 minutes to clean off.

The stabels were just one wooden part of a HUGE barn. The eastern end was the bath/locker rooms thats were me and Erik were headed.

"Right well enjoy your shower" he said laughing and waving a strand of my sticky hair in the air. I laughed aswell, and wove my fingers in his messy hair and said "you too" I whispered and then he was close to my face breathing heavily. Too close he's too close. This is bad get out of here. My subconscious whispered. So I did just that "well beter hit the showers before Gothel. I mean AGNUS" I sneared her name "catches us" then I turned and he said "yeah your right see you in a min" then I walked through the locker room door.

I looked around the familer porcalan space. It hadn't changed. I'm standing in the bathroom section. It was like anyother school bathroom, it was 15 feet long and 14 feet wide, average sized, the walls were lined with water stained tiles. The eastern side was a lined with cubicals and the western side was sinks. There was one thing about this bathroom that always suprises me. The mirrors. The mirrors were HUGE with gold (like REAL gold) frames and there were five. On my first day here about 4 months ago I exiled myself to this bathroom crying the whole time and crying is how Ava found me "Are you okay?" she had asked me in a quiet voice "No" I had sobed at her. So she came down to kneel beside me and gave me a big big hug and said exactly what my mother had always said when i was upset "Well then tell me what happened Sugar, so I can make you okay" then she smiled such a sweet smile so I confided in her and told her about how I had gotten a terribal roomate that had smacked my head off the wall because I wouldn't clean her half of the room at this she had gasped and pulled my head up to check my face I had a busted lip, a black eye and a broken nose. "oh honey" she had started crying with me "then she wouldn't show me where to go and some boy's were being terribal to me, see" I had told her then yanked up my sleeve to reveal the bruises the boy's had left on my porcilin skin "O MY GOODNESS, what did your friends do when you told them" she had said deffenetly angry.

"I don't have any friends" her eye's had widened to the size of footballs "its my first day here" I had to explain. Once I did understanding crossed her face "well then let's get you a new roomate" she had said to me "who?" I had asked a little scared "ME!"she had said smiling at that I smiled and it was the first time I had smiled since my parent's died.

So then she had dragged me down to the admister's office

And within 5 minuets we were roomate's

"There all settled" she had said "Thank you."

Your welcome, oh my names Ava Hamilton by the way" she said holding out her hand to me I shook her offered hand and said " Swan, Stella Swan"

That was the beginning of a beautiful sisterhood.

But back to the present I walked into the the locker room section it was the same as the bathrooms only instead of cubicals it was a row of black electric showers that just begged you to slip and crack your skull. I got in and began the hardest, fastest shower I have ever had, but praise to me I was out of the shower dressed and drying my hair

In 4 minutes.

When my hair was semi dried I walked out of the bathroom to find Erik. He wasn't out yet so I knocked on the door and shouted "Erik you done yet?" then he walked out he was also clean and dry. Well his hair is still black so he's semi dry. "you look cleaner" he said looking me up and down "you to" I laughed he laughed with me

"lets go" we both said. Then laughed.
