I only own my OCs!

First Day

The girl jumped, then groaned as her alarm was blaring for her to wake up. Without much effort, she unplugged it and rolled over. The next thing she knew, she hears shouting coming from the hallway.

"Joanna! Get up. You're going to be late on your first day of school!" her father stated rather happily.

"How can you be so cheery at this hour?!" she thought bitterly to herself as she got out of bed. Yawning, she made her way toward the kitchen where her father was making breakfast. "Yo" Joanna said, taking a seat at the table. Her dad turned away from the stove and gaped at her.

"Whoa, what let you out of the cage?"

She rested her chin on the palm of her hand and gave her father a tired glare. "Apparently a monster called dad" she grumbled. It's not her fault that almost every morning her hair likes to make her look like a deranged lion. Her father chuckled and patted her head while setting a plate of freshly made pancakes.

"Oh you know you love me! Now eat. I have to get ready for my first day of work at the Hospital." Once her father left the kitchen, she began to munch at her pancakes.

Her father, Michael Reed, got a job as the hospital's new surgeon but what she didn't understand was from all the other places he could of chosen to get a job from, He chose Jasper, Nevada as his top pick. She had asked him earlier about his decision and all he said was that Jasper had a better offer.

Joanna finished her plate and headed down the hallway toward her bedroom. Once in her bedroom, she stripped off her night clothes and started to put on the clothes she set out the other night. Her outfit contained a peach colored undershirt with a white lacey top that went over it, light colored capris, and black flip flops. She looked at the mirror on her door and grumbled to herself. Someone should have told her that short hair actually made bed hair look worse.

Figuring that she could do little with her hair she grabbed one of her head bands and slicked her hair back which gave her hair a more spikey look it. Smiling to herself she walked to the bath room and put some light make up on to make her blue eyes pop. Giving one last look into the mirror, Joanna quickly walked to her room to get her shoulder back and went to the living room where she found her dad touching up his tie. "Looking good dad" he looked up and gave and her a clumsy smile.

"You think?"

Joanna nodded "Yep! You look very professional"

Her father did, indeed, look very professional. His work clothes contained a light blue dress shirt with a midnight blue tie, black dress pants and shoes. He also slicked his dark brown hair back which reached a little past his ears and topped it off with his glasses.

He grinned at Joanna "Well thank you dear" he bent down and kissed her forehead. He then grabbed his coat and started to head toward the door. "I'm probably going to be late tonight so feel free to unpack more boxes and have a good day at school!" he opened the door.

"And you have a good day at work!" she said quickly. Her dad gave her a thumbs up and the headed out the door.

Since Joanna and her dad only had one car. She had to walk to school which didn't bother her really even if the school was a little over a mile away. Walking gave her time to think what it would be like going to this new school. Joanna just hoped she didn't have to deal with many immature teens.

While walking down the street, Joanna failed to notice what was going on in her surroundings. All she heard were tires screeching to a stop. Surprised, she yelped and took a quick step back, only to stumble and fall on her backside. "Ow" she mumbled as she got on her hands and knees.

"Oh geese, I'm so sorry! I didn't see you walking while I was pulling out. Here" he pulled her hand and lifted her off the ground.

"Thanks" she said, dusting off her capris. Joanna looked up and immediately felt a little embarrassed. It was a teen roughly around her age. He had short black hair which gave him a punkish look to him and was wearing a plan gray and white longed sleeved shirt. For a guy, he wasn't that bad looking. Which left Joanna stuttering on her words. "S-sorry! I should have been paying more attention."

"No worries, so are you new to the neighborhood?"

"Um yeah. My dad and I just moved here over the weekend. I'm Joanna by the way." She held her hand out "But everyone calls me Joey"

"Nice to meet you, I'm Jack" he shook her hand. "So uh, you walking to school?" she nodded "Me too! Uh well I-I mean I'm not walking I was just about to drive there" Jack scratched the back of his head. Joanna giggled. "Wow, he's kind of awkward" she thought.

"Anyway, do you want a lift?" Jack took a step back and Joanna gasped.

"What a beautiful motorcycle!" she exclaimed. She looked at Jack. "Are you sure it's okay? I would be fine walking on my own."

"It's the least I could do after almost running you over and besides" he padded the seat. "She's much faster"

"Well I guess it will be alright then, Thank you!" she waiting for Jack to get on and then she sat down, but, right when she made contact with the motorcycle, she felt this really strange sensation, kind of an out of body experience.

"You okay?" Jack asked

"Huh? Oh yeah! Sorry I must have spaced out for a second." Joey placed her bag in between them and she grabbed onto his shirt and they were off. While driving down the street, Joey smiled to herself. "School hasn't even started and I already met a nice guy!" she thought just as the duo were pulling to the Jasper High parking lot.

So? What did you guys think? I haven't written a Fanfiction in a long time so I'm a bit rusty but I promise it'll get better!
