~Chapter 1~
Sunlight trickled through wooden blinds and hit the sleeping form of a young woman. The shrill sound of an alarm rang out and awoke the girl from her peaceful slumber. She slid her hand out from underneath the blankets and grabbed the blaring nuisance, mumbling curses at it before throwing it across the room.
"Ash, hurry up! We have to get there early for our first day of school!" The voice of another teenage girl called out.
"I'm coming, Ky! Be down in twenty!" Ashley Davies grumbled back. She climbed out of bed and stretched. As she walked over to her closet, she wondered what kind of new life she had ahead of her. She sighed and ran one of her hands through her hair. Ashley wasn't the kind of girl who showed any fear when it came to new things. She was, after all, the daredevil of the family. This time though, she was anxious. Not because she was living in a different city, but rather because she didn't know what kind of people L.A. had to offer. Would they accept her? Would they only be friends with her only because of her father and her money? She had friends in New York City, yes, but many of them just used her. What If that happened here? What if she fell into bad habits again? These thoughts plagued her mind as she put on a pair of black skinny jeans, a white fitted Led Zeppelin t-shirt, and a new pair of red Chucks. She stared at herself in the mirror and murmured to herself, "I guess it's time to just hit the madness."
Precisely twenty minutes later, Ashley sprinted down the stairs, keys and sunglasses in hand. She grabbed an apple off the kitchen counter then ran out to her silver Porsche convertible where her twin sister was already waiting and tapping her foot impatiently. The sisters shared many of the same features. Both had brown hair, deep brown eyes, tanned skin, bodies most girls were jealous of, and, of course, dazzling smiles. The main physical differences between the two were their hair and their smiles. Ashley had curly hair and nose-crinkling smiles whereas Kyla had straight hair and dimples. Their personalities, however, were polar opposites. Ashley was the badass, yet mysterious musician and artist while Kyla was the perky, drama geek and scholar.
"About time, Ash. I was afraid I was gonna have to pull out the big guns," chortled Kyla Davies, while flexing her 'muscles'.
"Oh, shut up lil' sis," Ash teased back, hopping into the driver's seat.
"Hey! You're only older by three minutes and twenty-seven seconds!"
"So? I'm still older than you. Now get your ass into the car."
"Fine, bitch," growled Kyla as she climbed into the car muttering harsh words about her sister.
"Do you wanna walk to this school?" Ashley asked her with a smirk as she pulled out of the driveway. After driving for a few minutes in silence, she turned to her sister and asked her what the name of their new school was.
"Uh…King High. Hey, look at that girl. I wonder if she's ok," Kyla said curiously as she pointed at the girl who ran in front of their car. Ashley looked up and saw a girl with blonde hair running past them. She was wearing a pair of short jean shorts and a blue tank top that showed off her midriff. She also noticed that the girl had a couple tattoos. "Wow, she has a really hot bod!" Kyla announced loudly disrupting her sister from her thoughts.
"Ky, don't forget that I'm the gay one here," Ashley joked, her eyes never leaving the blonde.
"Oh, shut up. I'm just admiring her body. Ooh! We should ask her if she needs a ride."
"Hmm. Why not, maybe she goes to King," replied Ashley thoughtfully as she rolled down her window and drove towards the blonde girl…
