The First Day

My name is Selena McCarty and I just moved to Ipswich. The whole reason I even moved was because my adoptive parents died. Yea you heard me right I'm adopted. I guess my real parents didn't want me. Now I'm stuck in a town where it rains 50% of the time and to make it even more fun I'm in a new foster home. My foster parents thought it would be a good idea to enroll me into Spenser Academy. So I'm spending my senior year at this academy and my guardians said I could live on campus.

Flashback

I was in the backseat of the car staring out the window watching the trees roll by. Then my adoptive mother spoke to me "Lena put your seat belt on" I rolled my eyes a little in a playful way and said "Yes mother" while I reached for my seat belt, pulled it across my body and snapped it into place.

My dad just looked back and smiled at me. I didn't care if they weren't my real parents, they were all I had and they treated me as if I was their own. Next thing I know I hear my mother screaming saying "Look out", that's when I saw it. A truck was headed straight into the driver side of the car. Than that's when I felt the impact. I remember my head hitting the window and hearing my mother scream.

That's the last thing I heard before I let the blackness consume me. I didn't realize that was the last time I would see my parents or that the last time I would hear my mother and father. I woke up in the hospital 4 days later with 10 stitches in the back of my head and a police officer telling me he was sorry because my parents didn't make it.

I couldn't believe it. They were gone just like that, just ten seconds before everything was normal. Then ten seconds later my life is living hell. I lost them, I can't believe it, I fucking lost them.

End of Flashback

Next thing I know I hear someone calling my name.

"Selena, Selena"

Then someone started shaking me and yelling at me again "Selena get your ass up now, snap out of it!"

Then I came back to normal. I was sitting on my bed staring off into space while Kate was shaking me. I guess I must have had a daydream. Oh yea by the way Kate is my roommate. She is fucking awesome, we kind of just clicked at orientation and decided to be roommates.

I shook my head a little before I said something to her "Sorry Kate, I was just remembering somethings". She gave me a look as if she thought I was hiding something.

"Selena is it what I think it is" she questioned me. I looked down and took in a couple breaths before I said anything "yea Kate, it's just that day keeps replaying in my head, and I keep thinking what if I didn't make it out."

I had told Kate all about my life and how my adoptive parents were killed. She made me look at her, "You shouldn't be thinking like that. Just be thankful that you did make it out."

She gave me a half smile before opening her mouth again " Now get your lazy ass out that bed, we are going out." I guessed she saw the confused look on my face because before I could ask her where she simply said "shopping".

"Great now I have to go shopping, this should be fucking awesome" I said with so much sarcasm in my voice. Kate knows that I don't really like to shop, I know the only reason she is doing this is to bug me. "Oh just shut the hell up, we are going shopping because we are going out tonight."

"Wait, where are we going?" I asked her. "It's a little surprise so just be patient." I glared at her " Damn it Kate, you know I hate surprises!" I yelled at her. She just turned around and laughed at me.

Next thing I know we are in my car speeding down the street to the mall. 20 bags, 10 stores and 4 hours later we are finally done and on our way back to the campus.

As soon we step into our room I collapsed on my bed after throwing the bags down. The last thing I heard was Kate telling me to put the clothes away. Psh I will put them away after I take a nap.

About half an hour later I woke up to Kate jumping on my bed. "So much for my damn nap" I thought to myself. "Come on sleepy head get your ass up and take a shower" she told me while she got off my bed. I grabbed all my things that I would need so I could take my shower.

15 Minutes later I'm out the shower and on my way back to the room. Next thing I know Kate throws me some shorts and a simply tank top while telling me to sit in her chair. 30 minutes later I finally get out of the chair and put on the clothes she chosen for me. My outfit consisted of a simple red lacy tank top (that showed off a nice amount of cleavage), a pair of black jeans that clung to me like a second skin. My make-up was simple just some lip gloss, black eyeliner, and some mascara. She didn't put any eye shadow on me because the eyeliner made my emerald green eyes 'pop'. Then my black hair was straight and went half-way down my back. If I must say so myself I look pretty hot.

Kate made me do a quick spin so she can admire her work. The I heard her gasp and I turned around quickly. "What's wrong" I asked her. She gave me a smile and said " damn girl how many tattoos do you have."

Oh now I know why she reacted like that when I turned around. I forgot she never saw the tattoo on my back. It was of a Phoenix emerging from fire. This one was the biggest one I had because it started at my right shoulder and went halfway down my back. I guess you can say that I love the phoenix.

I lifted up my shirt so she could get a better look at it. That's when she turned me around. "Lena I thought you only had the cross on your arm for your adoptive parents". I looked at her " well umm yea I kind of forgot to show you the one on my back, my bad."

She simple turned around to grab her clothes that she was going to wear tonight. So while she was changing I slipped into my closet and came back out with some red and black motorcycle boots. Kate just looked at me, "ummm where do you think you are going with those boots" she asked me. "well if you must know I am planning on riding my bike to where ever we are going."

It looked like she was in deep thought while I was putting my boots on and grabbing my jacket. She finally opened her mouth "where the hell am I going to ride cause I'm not getting on that motorcycle?"

I looked on my bed and grabbed my car keys and threw them to her. "Don't mess up my baby" I told her with a smirk on my face. She simply nodded and said "follow me."

I'm so lucky that it wasn't raining today. I grabbed my helmet out the trunk of my car and then mounted my bike. I slowly turned my bike on and it was music to my ears. The sound of hearing my Ducati 1098 R would never get old to me.

I waited for her to pull out of the parking lot before I started to follow her. It only took me a minute before I caught up with her.

We had been driving for about 20 minutes before we pulled onto this little dirt path. As I was looking around I noticed more cars as we started going farther and farther down the rode. We finally found a place to park and I took off my helmet while shaking my hair a little, good thing my helmet hair wasn't that bad. I unzipped my jacket and put it in my car along with my helmet and locked the doors.

The only things that were surrounding us were trees. We just kept walking until we both heard loud music and we saw orange embers in the sky. That's when I realized that she took me to a party. Then the trees opened up into a giant field.

As I looked around I saw that there were a couple of fires started, there was a couple of tables set up that had speakers and a radio on it. It looked like the whole school was here. Hell half of the town was probably here.

I looked at Kate "so tell me who all is here".

She started with some boy with long hair that went down to his shoulders. "ok that is Aaron Abbot, he is a prick and treats girls like dirt. The girl that looks like she's attached to Aaron's hip is Kira Snider, everybody knows she is a stuck up bitch."

I couldn't help but laugh a little, then I saw someone looking at me. I tapped Kate and pointed in his direction " who is that?"

She turned her head to see where I was pointing to "oh that's the new kid all I know is that his name is Chase Collins, he is kinda cute tho."

I couldn't help but wave at this so called Chase. He waved back at me with a smile on his face.

Then I heard a girl say "Hey Caleb", then I heard Kate say "their here".

I couldn't help but turn around to see who she was talking about. "What do you mean their here?" I asked her. She simply said " The Sons of Ipswich."

I turned to where she was staring to see four guys walking towards us.

She ran up to the one with shoulder-length hair and kissed him, so I only assumed that this was her boyfriend she was telling me about.

He looked over at me asking Kate "so who is this?" She said "this is my new roommate Selena McCarty. Selena this is Pogue Parry" then she pointed to a kinda short guy with brownish hair "Tyler Simms."

She had pointed to a blond hair kid that was really hot, she started talking "Re...." he butted in and took my hand saying "Reid Garwin, nice to meet you." "Nice to meet you too."

Then the tall one said "Hi I'm Caleb Danvers." I shook his hand and it felt as if I had met him before.

I started talking to Reid when all of a sudden the girl that Kate told me was Kira walked over right in between of me and Reid. "Oh hey Reid, how was your summer?" She asked him without even acknowledging me. Reid looked around her to me and she finally turned around facing me. By then I was trying to not let my anger get the best of me then she spoke " hi I'm Kira" and she stuck out her hand. I took it in a firm handshake. "Selena" I just simply replied with my name. "Oh your the girl that just transferred in right?" "Yeah I just transferred in."

She looked at me for a second before saying "Oh yeah now I remember you, your adoptive parents were killed in a car crash, while you made it out with just a scratch. How does that feel?" I couldn't take it anymore I got in her face and said "tell me how does this feel?" Before I knew it I had pulled my arm back and hit her dead in her face with everything I had. Kira fell back on the ground grabbing her nose. I could already see the blood as it started dripping down her face.

I had enough of her shit. You can say what you want about me but you never bring up the only parents I have ever had. I was walking back over to her when that guy Aaron got in my way. I glared him at "get the fuck out of my way before you end up like that bitch on the ground." He just looked at me like he didn't hear me. I turned around cause Reid came and grabbed my hand. I looked at him and whispered "look just trust me I got it." He nodded at me and whispered to the other guys.

"Look Aaron I know you think you are the shit but you are nothing to me." He walked closer to me until he was in my face. "You really are a feisty one, I like it sweet cheeks." I couldn't believe he just said that to me. For some reason I could sense Reid getting mad. I looked at Aaron and next thing I know I kneed him in his stomach and hit him in his ribs one good time before he fell over in pain.

That's when all his friends came over and next thing I know Pogue, Tyler, and Caleb was in front of me while while Reid was shielding me in a very protective way. Then Chase walked in the middle of all the guys "look we really don't need to start all this trouble." Aaron spoke up "Selena owes Kira an apology." Before I could say something Reid had spoke "No, no see you got it all wrong, Kira owes Selena an apology."

Somehow Chase managed to calm down all the guys while Reid was still holding onto me. I couldn't help but feel safe and protected by his side. After everything calmed down Reid gave me long hug and then he looked me in my eyes "I'm sorry that happened." I couldn't help but hold him tighter "it's fine it wasn't your fault so don't feel sorry."

Just then Kate, Pogue, Caleb,Tyler and Chase walked over to us. Kate couldn't help herself " Oh my god Lena that was fucking kick ass!" I couldn't help but laugh at her comment. "How do you know to fight like that?" Caleb asked me. "Well when I turned 12 I wanted to do MMA and my parents actually let me give it a shot. I been doing it ever since."

I guess Pogue didn't believe that a girl like me could do that cause he had his mouth open the whole time. "Pogue you should close your mouth before flies fly in it" I just couldn't help myself. I know I can be a smart ass sometimes. That little comment earned a laugh from everyone.

Then all I heard was "wow" I turned around and saw Tyler looking at my shoulder. I knew exactly what he was looking at, "so you like it" I asked him. He was still in shock "hell yea." I started to lift my tank top up some "well how about you get a better look". Kate was the only one that knew what I was talking about. Everyone walked over to where Tyler was standing. I heard a couple of "damns" and "that's bad ass". I just had to chuckle a little.

That's when some kid announced something over the speakers, "Hey Tim just called and said there are a couple of cop cars headed over this way."

With that said we all took off walking fast back through the mazes of trees to where we parked. Chase finally caught up to me "hey I'm Chase Collins, those where some pretty good moves you had back there." I shook this hand "thanks Chase."

I heard Pogue ask Kate if she needed a ride back, she said no that she drove up here in my car. Chase asked me "Hey do you think I can get a ride back with you?" I laughed a little "Ummm Chase riding with me right now wouldn't be a good idea, how about you ride back with Kate." "Wait Kate I thought you said you drove up here in Selena's car." I heard Pogue ask Kate. "Yeah Pogue she did drive up here in my car but it doesn't mean I rode with her." "Wait what do you mean?" Pogue had such a confused look on his face.

We finally got to the place where we left our cars. I pointed over to the torch red 2010 Mustang Shelby GT500 coupe. "That's my car." Once again their mouths all dropped at the site of my car. "Kate unlock the doors so I can get my things out of it." Once it was open I went and pulled on my motorcycle jacket and grabbed my helmet and slammed the car door shut. I walked over to my Ducati and mounted it. None of the guys saw me until I started it up. Pogue's eyes shot over to the sound "holy fuck you got a Ducati too?" I just smiled at him and nodded. "Maybe we should race sometime." I said while putting my helmet on. Kate had already pulled out with Chase in the passenger seat. I rolled up to the side of Tyler's Hummer and I noticed that Reid was driving.

I flipped up my helmet, "thanks for tonight, it was nice meeting you guys." With that said I closed my helmet and turned around to speed away. Before I left I could have swore I heard something that sounded like Reid "Can't wait to see you again."

I thought to myself "this is going to be one hell of a school year."

Hey if you have any suggestions just comment and let me know. Thanks for reading, I will try to update by tomorrow.
