The Beginning - Chapter 1
EMILY'S POV
I open my eyes to the sound of my alarm on my phone going off. The noise hurts so much because I went to a party last night and may have had way to much to drink. I roll over and grab my phone and turn my alarm off. I roll back over to the position I was in before and just lay there with my eyes open, drifting off into my thoughts about Maya, I can't believe I was about to do that to her! I should never have thought like that! I loved Maya and no one else! I need Maya back! My thoughts get interrupted by my mum poking her head though the door and saying "Honey…It's time to get up to go to school"
"Yes. Mom I'm getting there!" I respond in a very sleepy voice.
I manage to drag myself out of bed making sure to keep the certain closed so that my head didn't start pounding in my head any more than it was. I walk to the bathroom, at this moment I feel nothing, I feel completely numb, I feel like I can't love again, I can't be loved and I feel like I can't be happy, I feel like I am a zombie walking because I feel absolutely nothing. I turn the shower on and wait a few minutes for the warm water. I take my clothes off, and then step into the shower. After about 10 minutes I'm just standing under the shower head and feeling the jets of water hitting my back. I can't even feel the feeling of the water hitting me. I look at my arms and notice that I have goose bumps, I put my hand under the shower head and feel that the water has turned cold. I quickly wash my body with my favourite coconut scented body wash and hop out of the shower.
I grab a towel and dry myself off, I wrap the towel around me and make my way out of the bathroom and back into my bedroom. I pick out some clothes and put them on. I chose dark blue skinny jeans with a white lacy top, and for the jacket I chose one of my favourite baseball jackets. I brushed my hair and my teeth and put all the books I would need for the first day back in a hand bag. I head down stairs and picked up the keys to my car, I was about to open the front door when I heard my mom in the kitchen call out to me "Honey…Are you going to have any breakfast?"
"No thanks mom, I'm not hungry, I'll get something at school." I respond not really feeling like I want to eat anything, I open the front door and say "Bye mom. I love you." I close the door before she can say anything. I hop into my car and make my way to school.
PAIGE'S POV
Rose and I are walking down the familiar halls of Rosewood high, making our way to our homeroom. When Rose all of a sudden grabs my arm and pulls me into the bathroom, she checks and makes sure that no one is in the stalls and says, "Paige. You need to make sure everything stays in check." Rose has been my best friend since kindergarten, she is the girl that knows everything about me, but sometimes she can be a bit over protective and that annoys me a little bit. "I will… I'll just make sure I stay as far away from her as I can" I respond sounding a bit annoyed. I think she picked up on it because she stopped having the protective best friend face and changed to the best friend that loves clothes smile. She turned on her heels and was about to walk out the door when she said "Don't hate me for caring". I looked at her with my 'are you kidding' look and said "Don't worry I will always love you" I say and give her a wink. She laughs and we walk out of the bathroom and head to homeroom. Thank god she isn't in my homeroom. I looked at my timetable and saw that the next class I had Political Science and Sociology. I stole Rose's timetable right out of her hand to see what classes we had together hoping she took Political Science and Sociology but she had History with Mrs Cooper first. I skimmed through the timetable and saw that we have English, Chemistry, Math and Gym together. I was really happy that we had four classes together, I was in at least two of her classes each day.
In homeroom, Rose and I just made small talk, we were making plans to go see the new movie that premiered a few days ago, 22 Jump Street on Saturday. We both agreed that we each would be free. We checked the times on our phones and chose to go to a screening at 11:25am. We decided that Rose would come over to my house at about 10:30 and go to the cinemas in one car. Before we could make any more plans the bell for first period rang. I got up and Rose told me she would text me if anything changed. We both said bye and I made my way to my first class.
As soon as I found a seat at a desk, 'she' walked in I was in the line of desks closest to the wall by the door at the very back. 'She' walked in with Spencer who of course was taking this class. 'I really hope she doesn't sit next to me' is what rushed through my mind when I saw her start walking to the back of the room. I stopped staring at her just in case she looked over in my direction and saw me gorking at her. She hadn't noticed me yet, so I looked at the front of the class looking at the teacher and what she was writing on the black board.
Just before the teacher was about to start talking I turned my head to see where 'she' was sitting, turns out that Spencer was sitting next to me, 'she' was on the other side of Spencer. While I was looking in her direction she looked at me and we locked eye contact, she smiled, oh my god that smile is so beautiful, I smiled back at her. We continued looking into each other's eyes for what felt like forever but what was probably only 10 seconds, before I turned my head towards the front of the class room and the teacher finally introduced herself "Hi Class, my name is Miss Gunn, I will be your Political science and Sociology teacher for this year." Miss Gunn looked very young about 24 - 26 maybe 27. Miss, was tanned but not nearly as tanned as Emily, she had long blonde hair just above her chest, almost as long as Rose's, She was wearing a Nike workout jacket that was fully black, and jeans. I couldn't help but think that the teacher looked sort of hot. Then I turned my head towards Emily and changed my mind. The teacher didn't look hot at all. Emily was the only one that was hot, gorgeous, stunning, and beautiful. Emily's hair was a light brown with blonde ends that blended amazingly. Her hair was perfectly curled. Her face is a totally different story, her lips look soft and warm, her dark brown eyes that I drown in every time I look into them. She was wearing a white lacy top, dark skinny jeans that fitted her legs so well, and a baseball jacket over the top of the white lacy top, the colors of the white and black, from the shirt and jacket complimented her skin tone amazingly!
I turned my attention back to the teacher as she was talking about what we would be doing this year. The teacher carried on for a bit before what the teacher was saying actually caught my attention, the teacher was talking about how the first assignment is a video of two of us doing a work out that uses joint movements and antagonist pairs. Also how the partners will be picked out of hats. I really hope Emily's name isn't picked out with mine. Miss Gunn was ripping up pieces of paper that she had written all our names on. She grabbed a pencil holder from her desk and tipped out all of the pens and put them on her desk. She then put the ripped up pieces of paper into the pencil holder and started shaking it. The first name she pulled out was Noel's. She then pulled out Jades. This carried on for a couple of minutes so Miss Gunn was about half way through the class then my name was pulled out. Guess whose name was next to be pulled out. Yes you guess right! Emily Freaking Fields. Emily was going to be my partner for this assignment and it lasted 2 weeks… 'How am I going to do this?' I thought to myself. Miss Gunn pulled everyone's name out of the pencil holder and then put all the pens back into it. Just before the bell rang signalling for second period to start. I grabbed all my stuff and walked out of the classroom before Emily could walk up to me to ask me questions about what we were going to do for the assignment. I walk into next class which is English with Mr. Fitz and sit next to Rose and tell her what happened in Political Science and Sociology.
