Chapter 1
As I sleepily climbed out of my bed and stumbled to the light switch, I could hear my mom Victoria, yelling at me to get up. "Alyson get up." I heard as I did every morning. Then, I finally realized that the first day of my junior year was finally here. What made me even more excited was that this year was starting out seemingly perfect. I was anxious to start getting ready. I knew that the faster I got ready, the faster I would be reunited with my best friends: Lexi, Nicole, Tara, and my boyfriend of four months Brian. Lexi and Tara had been my best friends since kindergarten. Niki had come in the ninth grade and we had accepted her with open arms. She was such a good addition to our group. She was sweet and kind so she fit right in with us. She had some self-esteem issues but we all helped her work on that.
I walked slowly into the hall and into my bathroom. I went in and squared myself in front of the mirror. I picked up my brush and brushed through my blond hair routinely. Once I had that done, I put on my hot pink sparkly top and my tight black pants and my make-up , and went down stairs for breakfast.
Downstairs I was greeted by my dad, John as I walked into the dining room. "Good morning Alyson." my dad said as I sat down to eat. "Good Morning Dad." I said leaning down to hug him ."I never got to ask you how work was yesterday. So how was it?" I asked simply to make small talk." Well, just the normal. People coming in sick and hurt. Just the normal day for a doctor." he said, knowing I wouldn't want details. "Good morning Alyson." said mom as she walked in. She was in her business suit, which wasn't out of the ordinary since she was a lawyer. "Good morning mom. Do you have court today?" I asked as I got up to put my plate in the sink. "Yes, a lawyer's work is never done." she said with a chuckle.
I went upstairs to get my cell phone and backpack. Then I ran downstairs and out the door . Outside it was once again cloudy as it was almost everyday in Newport , Rhode Island. I walked down the driveway to my red BMW M3 convertible. I put the key in the ignition and backed out of the driveway. Seeing the ocean as I backed out was so calming and calming was exactly what I needed.
Driving to school felt so natural. I didn't even have to think about it. When I pulled into my normal parking spot, I saw Lexi with her long bronze hair blowing in the breeze as she leaned against her yellow Porsche 911 turbo. She had a smile on her face as she waved at me. I got out of my car and gave her a huge hug. "Oh my gosh, Alyson I missed you so much!" Lexi said still smiling. "I know, I haven't seen you since you got on the plane for the Bahamas two weeks ago. So how was your trip?" I asked knowing the answer because she had texted me the whole time she was there but still so excited to see her face again. "It was amazing .It is so beautiful there and I needed a little relaxation. But I am glad to be back because I missed you so much " she said with another big smile. "So where are Niki and Tara?" I asked surprised that I didn't see them. "Well, there's Tara." Lexi said , pointing to Tara's black Viper, as she drove into the spot next to me. As soon as her car stopped Lexi and I ran to meet her. She got out and we both gave her a hug. She shook her long black silky hair." So Tara, what did you do over summer vacation other than street race?" I said skeptically, knowing that most of her break was spent racing her viper." Oh that's hard. I didn't do much else." said Tara. "so do you know where Niki is?" Lexi asked Tara." You know Niki, when I called about five minutes ago she was getting ready so she should be here in ten minutes." Tara said.
As soon as we walked into the school I saw a familiar smiling face looking my way. It was Brian. The second he saw me he came to give me a hug and he kissed my cheek. "Hi sweetheart." Brian said. "Hi Brian." I said as I hugged him. He held me in the hug for a minute longer and whispered into my ear, "I missed you." a small smile curved his lips. "I missed you too." I told him. Brian, my first real boyfriend, was a nice guy and I really liked him but he had problems showing his affection. He would hug me and occasionally kiss me on the cheek but only if he was sure there wasn't anyone watching.
I turned around to see that Lexi and Tara were looking at me and Brian with the same look that people get when they are watching a romantic movie. Instantly Brian's face turned red. "I'll meet you at your locker in about ten minutes ." he said referring to the tradition of walking me to class that he had begun when we started going out.." That sounds good. I'll see you soon." I said to him smiling. He turned and walked away. I turned to my friends "Uh-Oh" Lexi said "She has that look, the, I'm so frustrated that I might break something, look." she continued to warn Tara." No, it's not you. It's Brian. He just gets so nervous if he even thinks some one is watching."
I said sighing. Out of the corner of my eye I saw Brad. Brad had the biggest crush on Tara and he didn't try to hide it. "Hey babe, what's going on." he said putting his arm around her waist." Get your hand off my waist before I amputate it." Tara said annoyed. "Oh and by the way I will never go out with you so don't ever call me babe ever again or I will cut your tongue out." Tara added as she flipped her hair hitting brad in the face with it. We all had our reputations at school. Everyone called Tara a slut even though she wasn't and most everyone was scared of her because she stood up for herself and the three of us if we needed it unlike any of the other girls. I was the fairly smart, girly one, Lexi was the funny energetic one, and Niki was the really smart, self conscious one. Even though we were all very different we had three things in common. We were all rich, we were all hot, and we all loved each other more than anything else. "Okay then let's go outside to see if Niki is here yet since I have now dealt with that." Tara said. "Okay" I sighed.
When we got outside, I saw Niki getting out of her purple Dodge Charger. She was pulling her curly brown hair into a ponytail. We all ran up to her car to meet her. We all missed Niki the most, mostly because she had been in New York City all summer with her grandparents. We had all been to different places over the summer. Tara went to Indianapolis, the racing capital of the U.S., Lexi had gone to the Bahamas with her mom and dad, and I had gone to Paris for some fun and shopping with my mom while my dad was working. None of us had been gone as long as Niki though, and when we weren't gone we spent every second together.
We all said our hellos and goodbyes and sulked off to our first period classes. I went by my locker before my first period class." Are you ready" I said to Brian who was leaning against my locker." Yeah let's go he said walking at my side. We got to my class and Brian looked around and then gave me a kiss on the cheek and then I walked into my science class which just happened to be my worst subject. The up side was that Lexi had the same schedule and the down side was that Tara and Niki didn't. I walked in and sat by Lexi knowing that that would make science a little more bearable.
Mr. Jones didn't come in until two minutes after the bell rang. When he walked in, he had behind him a 5'9, blond haired, green eyed guy that looked like he belonged on the Abercrombie advertisements. I leaned over to Lexi." Where did he come from?" I whispered." I don't know but wherever he came from I want to go there." Lexi said giggling. " This is Lucas Drake." Mr. Jones announced to the class. " You can go sit at the seat on the other side of Alyson." he said to Lucas pointing to the empty seat to the left of me. I kept my eyes on him as he walked to our table and sat in the seat at the very end of out table. He leaned down and began to draw on a sketch book. I didn't know exactly why, but I was so intrigued by him. I couldn't possibly like him though, because I had a boyfriend and I didn't even know this guy but I just was drawn to him. He was so mysterious and beautiful. I looked at him and obsessed over his pale perfect skin, and his shaggy blond hair, and the flawless features of his face. He looked up from his drawing to see me studying his face and smiled. I looked away very quickly, but I knew that he had seen me because our eyes met and at that moment everything seemed to be absolutely perfect.
Before I knew it Lexi was nudging me so that I would come out of my daze. " You have been out of it all class period." Lexi said with a snicker." I know. I'm so sorry." I said to her with an apologetic look. " No it'd okay. I know who you were so distracted by." Lexi smiled. " Okay so you caught me. You just know me too well I guess." I said smiling back at her. We picked up our stuff and started walking to our U.S. History class.
On the way we saw Niki and Tara. "Hey Tara, hey Niki." I said as we all met in a circle. "So how was science?" Tara asked. "Oh my gosh, it was so boring." I told them." Yeah well, Alyson, something makes me think that staring at the new guy made your science a little better." Lexi said. "What?" Tara and Niki said in unison. "You met a guy in science?" Tara asked sounding a little shocked. "Okay, so yes, there is a new guy in our science class, but I know what your thinking and I have a boyfriend." I explained. "Yes but tell me just how good-looking this guy is." Niki said. " Well I didn't look at him that much." I lied. "Oh please you spent all period starring at him, well except that one moment when he saw you looking at him. Lexi said. " Yes but do you honestly think that I would just dump Brian just because a new good-looking guy came?" I said." I don't know but we are going to be late for history if we don't hurry." Niki said walking off.
We all walked into U.S. History together. This was the one class we had together. We sat in four desks all in a group. We sat down and started talking about Lucas once again. "So, what is this mystery boy's name?" Tara asked. "I think his name is Lucas." I said trying to sound unsure of myself. I heard the door open but didn't hear anyone coming. Suspiciously , I turned toward the door to see Lucas standing in the doorway. "Oh my gosh," I whispered partially to myself and partially to my beat friends that sat around me." Is that him?" Tara asked, now realizing why I had been starring at him." He is so hot!" Niki said. He walked past us and looked at me and smiled. As he walked away I heard him let out a low chuckle. Suddenly, I heard footsteps behind me and saw two hands come to cover my eyes." Guess who." I heard a familiar voice say." Hey Brian." I said with a sigh." Hi sweetheart." he whispered in my ear. "So how was first period?" I asked him smiling. "It was okay. I have English first period." Just then Mr. Burk walked into class. I had all my favorite people around me. Tara was in front of me, Niki was to my left, Lexi was to my right, and Brian was behind me. I glanced at Lexi, and in front of her was Lucas. I knew that I had to be more careful about looking at him because Brian was right behind me. I just couldn't help it, he was just so beautiful. I knew that he was a guy and I was supposed to say he was handsome , but beautiful was the only word I could think of that even came close to his perfection.
Suddenly, the bell rang. It startled me, and I jumped in my seat a little. After I jumped I heard the sound of Lucas's low chuckle. He walked to the door and met up with Nick and Kyle. Nick and Kyle were fraternal twin brothers. Usually, they only hung out with each other but they seemed to accept Lucas so graciously. As they left, I leaned over and me, Tara, Niki, and Lexi huddled together." Is it just me or does he laugh at me A LOT!" I said wondering if I was the only one that noticed. I turned around, realizing that I completely forgot that Brian was behind me. Luckily, he was completely oblivious to what I was talking about." Can I talk to you for a minute alone?" Brian said to me. I knew that any normal girl would be panicking right now, but I knew that there was no way he was going to dump me. He was just to insecure.
We walked out to the benches outside of the history building. My friends walked past us, all of them giving me distressing looks. I desperately wanted to tell them that I was sure that everything was going to be okay. Once Brian saw that they were gone he looked at me and smiled." So, I was just wondering , I know it is three weeks away, but ,do you want to go to homecoming with me?" he asked very nervously." Of course, Brian. I would love to go to Homecoming with you." I told him smiling. He looked around and then bent down to kiss my cheek. In the four months we had been dating he had never actually kissed me before. He had kissed me on the cheek, but had never really…kissed me.
I walked away from him smiling and found that my friends had been trying to listen from around the corner. "What happened?" Niki asked almost frantic. "Yeah, we couldn't hear what you were saying. What's going on?" Lexi said running to me and almost knocking me over. "Yeah tell us what happened." Tara said. "He just waned to ask me to homecoming." I explained to them. "WHAT!" they all shouted at once with a shocked tone in their voice. "That is why he wanted talk to you alone!" Tara said with anger stirring up in her voice. "Calm down Tara." I said to Tara in a calming voice. "Well I am going to give him a piece of my mind. There is no reason for him to scare you like that." Lexi said beginning to walk off. I grabbed her arm. "Both of you just take a deep breath." I said. Tara and Lexi both took deep breaths." Okay well I've got to go to class. I have computer next and Mr. Roberts will kill me if I am late." said Tara turning to walk to class. "Yeah I bette go to class too." Niki said as she rushed to catch up with Tara. Lexi and I both had English next. We walked side by side to class.
