The New Year

Jax POV

I wake up to the deafening buzz of my alarm clock. Uggh, Monday, the first day of senior year. (A/n This is a totally different story line to the one-shot I made) I groan, rolling over and turning it off, missing a few times. At least I get to see Em today. I haven't seen her in a week. Longest week since Rebel's Boot Camp. God I hated that place.

I groggily get up and go over to my closet. I'm still tired so I cast a spell in my head to put my uniform on. Blue shirt, khaki pants, tie, and of course my leather jacket. I rarely go anywhere without it.

Once I'm ready for school I go downstairs to see my little sister eating waffles at the table. Jessie got back from W.I.T.S. A few days ago. Dad is in the living room drinking coffee and reading books on how to be a better parent. And my pro leggings baby sister is in a dress. Weird.

"Oh, hey big bro." Jessie says, turning to face me. Dad looks up from his book and casts a spell to make some mixed berry waffles with whipped cream appear on a plate to Jessie's right.

"Thanks. How's it going Jess?" I ask, sitting down and biting my waffle. Man these waffles are good!

"Good. I am so ready for school today!" She squeals. Dad drops the book and I cut my sister a funny look. No Novoa in their right mind is that happy about school. Especially Jessie. And the fact that she's in a dress. Something has got to be up.

"Are you feeling okay, Jess?" My Dad asks feeling her forehead. It is a very weird thing for her to be happy about school. Or in a dress for that matter.

"Yes. Why, I don't look bad, do I?" Jessie asked, fiddling with her hair. That's really weird. Why would she... Oh my god. The dress, the fear of looking bad, the excitement to go to school, it all makes sense. This is about a boy, isn't it. From the look on Dad's face he had the same revelation.

"Who is he?" I ask with a smirk. Jess cuts me a worried look before looking like she's going to kill me. Aha! I knew it! This is about a boy.

"Psshhh, boy. There is no bo... Okay fine, his name is Ethan!" She gives up trying to play it cool. I smirk before feeling my over protective big brother instinct kick in. Dad says the same thing in unison.

"No boys allowed!" We shout a tiny bit. I know how boys are, and if they're smart none of them are going anywhere near my little sister. Jessie pouts at her waffle while I chuckle and ruffle her hair. A few minutes later I finish my breakfast and grab my backpack.

"I'm gonna get an early start, okay?" I ask. My Dad nods and Jessie waves.

"Say hi to Emma for me!" She shouts. My sister loves spending time with Em. When we're alone she jokes about getting used to seeing her as a sister, because one day she probably will be. I blush every time she does that. The thought of marrying Em makes me get butterflies in my stomach.

"Will do!" I shout, shutting the door. I get on my bike and drive to school. Iridium High, you better be ready. You're about to get Jax'd.. again.

Emma POV

I wake up in the morning before my just- in- case- I'm- too- tired- to- get- up- at- 6- am alarm goes off. I look at it.

6:05

Perfect. The alarm was set for 6:30. I always wake up extra early on the first day of school. It's the Alonso family tradition.

I get out of bed and go over to my closet when I remember, I forgot to bring my uniform out of the laundry room last night. I'm still tired so I cast a spell to get myself ready. When I look at the mirror I'm fully dressed in my uniform, my hair is curled, and my makeup is perfect.

Once I'm ready I leave my room to see my dad making pancakes and Andi sitting at my table. Of course she's here, she loves the free pancakes. She turns her head to look at me and waves.

"Hey Em." She smiles. I take a seat next to her.

"Hey Andi, how's life?" I ask. She went to Silicon Valley to visit Phillip's parents with him for two weeks, and barely called. I'm not surprised though, if Jax took me on a trip for two weeks I wouldn't call a lot either. Or maybe ever.

"Good. Phillip's parents are so much cooler than the Van-Pelts!" She exclaims. I laugh at her enthusiasm. Once the pancakes are done my dad serves us each a plate. Andi's are regular and mine are peanut butter guacamole. Some people find it strange but it's actually really good. Andi makes a face at me before chowing down on her breakfast. My Dad always says Andi is like another child that he never agreed to. He loves her like a daughter, regardless of her loud behavior.

"That sounds fun." I smile, biting into my pancakes. Yummy!

"They let us play Zombie Apocalypse 4 and gave us each a copy. It was so cool! Maybe we can play it at our annual back to school sleepover tonight!" She suggests, practically bouncing with excitement. I smile and nod. She is way too hyper today. She's never this excited about anything.

"Well girls, I'm going to head to school. Remember to lock the door when you leave Emmy." My dad says, tossing me the house keys. I've gotten better at catching them.

"Okay, bye Dad." I shout.

"Bye girls!" He replies.

"Bye Mr. A!" Andi shouts with a mouthful of food. I laugh at her. She swallows once her mouth is closed.

In a few moments we finish our breakfast and put our plates in the sink. I grab my bookbag after checking what's in it. We head out the door, and I lock it once we're outside. The walk to school begins, and I can't wait to start the brand new year. Hopefully we can have a calm, normal year. No more drama.*

So that's chaper one. Don't worry, chaos will ensue soon. There will be a new girl in the next chapter. This is a fairly short chapter, it's 1,108 words without this note. I hope you guys enjoyed the chapter, I'll try to update soon.

*Keep dreaming Em, keep dreaming :)
