Chapter 1: An Ordinary Day

"Jack! Wake up Jack!" His sister's voice carried him to the land of the awake and Jack Overland stretched his arms wide before falling onto the floor which woke him completely. He looked up to see Emma standing there in his room looking at him.

"Morning, Em." Jack spoke trying to hold back a yawn.

His sister giggled but then pointed at his alarm clock which read half 7, Jack's eyes widened! He was late for school! Trying to get off the floor, he tripped over his bed duvet and cursed under his breath. He pushed his sister out the room whilst he got dressed, putting on a blue hoodie and some jeans that looked like they had seen better days.

Rushing down the stairs, Jack ran into the kitchen gave his mother a quick peck on the cheek and grabbed some toast of the side. He slipped his shoes on but was stood by his mom looking at him disapprovingly.

"Shoelaces now Jack." She told him sternly. Jack looked down at his feet and grimaced, he had forgotten to tie his shoelaces, again. It wasn't his fault; he just never seemed to remember to tie his shoelaces. He hated wearing shoes but knew that it would be a bit odd if he went around high school with no shoes and everybody thought he was weird anyway, it didn't want to add up the list of things that people thought he was.

He was known as the school's loner and prankster, his pranks were famous throughout the school, he always escaped detention though because the teachers never caught and quite frankly he thought that they must have been getting tired of them now.

He did have a biology partner who he usually talked with called Ana. She was of Indian descent and wanted to be a dentist when she finished school and college. Jack thought it was funny that she had such a strange obsession with Teeth.

In fact she was obsessed with his! Every time he walked into the lab, she would shove her fingers into his mouth just to make sure he was keeping all his teeth as perfect as he could. Jack looked after his teeth or else he got a stern lecture from Ana.

Since it was a Monday morning, it meant that Jack had biology first period straight after home-room so that mean Ana was going to stick her fingers in his mouth at least three times throughout the lessons, she always seemed to check more on Monday because she never saw him.

Jack heard his sister came out the front door and they both began to bolt for the bus, Jack's brown hair was bouncing everywhere and being windswept by the wind making it messier than it already was.

His sister followed closely behind him. Soon enough they managed to reach the bus stop.

Emma went the elementary school just down the road from the high school, they took the same bus but Emma got off a stop earlier and walked to the school with her best friend Jamie Bennet. The two were inseparable but Jack had never met Jamie because Emma never invited him over.

In fact Emma never went over any of her friend's houses, instead she spent the weekends and evenings with her brother and they were would do all sorts of things together. Their mother who was single worked late nights so Jack cooked dinner with his sister most nights, usually it would be a take away because the food he cooked never turned out right.

Weekends were a little more peaceful and Jack would often take his sister out to the theater or park. Sometimes their mom would join them and other times it would just be them. Jack was close to his sister and even though there was an 8 year difference between them, they got on really well and had little to no arguments.

The bus finally arrived five minutes later and Jack claimed the seat by the front like he had always done, his sister climbed over next to him and began to tell him about this lake she had seen at a park that she wanted to skate on.

Jack listening intently to Emma babble on and on about skating. It was the middle of November and the snow had come quite early this year so the pond was frozen over. Jack knew that they would have to be careful but he was sure it was going to be safe for them.

"Jack so when do you think we can go skating?" Emma asked with a big smile plastered onto her face.

Jack paused for a moment before he began thinking. Saturday seemed like a good choice, they didn't have anything planned for this weekend so it would be good to do something.

"How about Saturday?" Jack responded with a lopsided grin.

"Yeah! That sounds great!" Emma replied giving Jack a big hug.

The two talked about what else they were going to do that weekend until Emma got off the bus and Jack was left alone, staring at the window and dreading school.

Jack walked into first period before Ana was right in front of him, her fingers prodding away in his mouth. After about two minutes and that she was positive that his teeth were alright, she finally removed her fingers.

"Ow! Ana, do you have to do that every time you see me?" Jack put his hand onto his now throbbing cheek.

"Sorry Jack, they're just so beautiful!" Ana squealed before heading back over to their biology table.

The next hour or so was spent yawning and doodling on a piece of paper, he never listened in Biology and he really wasn't interested in it. Ana had been watching him with a scowl on her face but he just ignored it, she knew he didn't like Biology.

Once it was over Jack headed over to his locker to get his books for free period when he noticed the transfer kid from Australia known as Aster. He was quite popular and had only been at the school since September.

He knew Jack quite well after an incident where Jack had dropped a pile of snow onto him when he had been carrying decorations for next year's Easter play. He hadn't been happy and the two had been sworn enemies ever since.

Beginning to head over to English, Jack could feel Aster's eyes boring into him as he walked down the hallway to the English. One day Jack knew that he was going to get him back and Jack dreaded that day.

English dragged on as the teacher began to mutter things about Shakespeare that Jack really didn't care about. He nearly fell asleep, if he didn't keep quietly banging his head on his desk as an effort to wake himself up.

Finally the bell went and Jack made his way to the cafeteria for lunch. Jack usually ate Lunch alone and watched other people talk with their friends and have a good time. It was at times like these that Jack felt so alone. He didn't know where Ana went but he just assumed she was with her other friends that always seem to crowd around him when he walked out the biology lab.

They never talked to him, only look at him with awestruck eyes and it kind of freaked him out a little bit. He felt jealous of Aster, as he saw him laugh with his friends, green eyes glinting away like the hope of spring.

For the rest of the day, Jack was in a sombre mood, not paying attention in any of his classes and was quite glad that he could get onto the bus and go home away from the hell hole that was school.

When Emma got on, he could feel a smile appearing on his lips as she told him about her day and that she had a snowball fight with her friends on the way home, it caused Jack to put his arms around her and begin to play a game of eye spy. He wanted her to not talk of friends or else it would leave an empty gap in his heart.

Arriving home, they both ordered a take-away while Jack did his homework and watched tv. Jack sighed, sometimes it just wanted his life to be different not something ordinary but what could be said, today had just been an ordinary day.
