Let the story begin.
Boo mornings and all who support it.
The alarm clock sitting on the night stand had been ringing since 5 in the morning it was almost 6 now. Yes, I'm lazy- so what SUE ME! I'm a 17 year old girl. What do you expect. With all the energy I could gather I turned the alarm off. Well, let's get this over with.
I took a long time taking a shower and blow drying my dark hair into waves. I stared at the reflection in the mirror. Even to myself I looked very plain Jane. Dark brown hair, brown eyes. Simple right? Tanned skin, well, barely. I mean since when was the last day this place got any sun. But then there was the shape of my eyes. This revealed the truth, the truth of my nature. The only shape I can describe it is, tilted almonds. Almost catlike. No. That part of me is dormant along with all of the other fabulous symptoms...well.. most. I swear it's like get one, get 10 free. I snorted. How true that is. Before changing into my favorite comfy green t-shirt and cargo jeans, I applied a little eyeliner and mascara. Once again SUE ME I'm a teenage girl.
Grabbing my Luminarium Academy hoodie, my old boarding school, I started to head out. But then I saw the embroidered outline shape of a bird rising from its own ashes, Phoenix. I couldn't help but smile at it. The happy memories that flashed through my mind. But of course so did the bad ones.
No, I quickly reminded myself, don't let this bother you. Not today.
Quickly snapping me to reality. Loud honks came from outside. Huh? Jumping over some boxes, I look out of my bedroom window.
"SUNNY!" said two very familiar, VERY LOUD voices. Of course Alexis and Dianna blaring loud music and singing from their car waiting for me.
"Idiots." I chuckled.
I ran downstairs, grabbed my bag and headed out, right before I stepped out of the door I yelled "adiós Papa, Mama." I ran up to the drivers' door of the Honda Civic Sedan and tapped on the window to get Dianna's attention. She pressed a button and the window rolled down smoothly. Turning the volume she asked "What?"
"I don't go to school with you guys, remember?" I said matter-of-factly and slightly amused. Gods, did they have short term memory or what.
"Well, we thought we might give you a ride to La Push." Dianna said fluttering her eyes innocently. Too sweet. What was in it for her.
"Ya, that and the fact we heard a rumor that their 6-foot sexy ass guys there." Alexis added straight out. Obviously not thinking anything innocent at all. I rolled my eyes.
"Whatever, I just wanna get there and back. Wait how'd you know I was going to La Push? And Alexis aren't you dating Keith?" I questioned sliding into the sleek sedan and slamming the door.
"Aye, watch the slamming. To answer you question Look around Sunny where the hell else are you supposed to go." Dianna said rolling her eyes at my cluelessness.
"To answer your second question Keith and I are taking a break." Alexis finished. Ugh, the whole on and off on again thing is so confusing. She's too good for him anyway.
"And you what about Anthony?" I pointed accusingly Dianna as she pulled out of my driveway.
"Just because I can't touch doesn't mean I can't look. Seat belt, please." I put the seat belt on.
This discussion led on to more boy, relationship, sex blah blah blah shit. Not that I don't find that topic more than you know...discussable. I just rather not. I find it boring compared to everything else that has happened to us at Luminarium Academy. You know with me being a-a-
"DIANNA! STOP!" I yelled as a huge sandy blur flew by the front of the car. She yelled as she slammed her foot on the brake. Swirved, and jerked to a stop. The seat belt nearly cracked a rib but it-it just saved my life.
"HOLY SHIT!" Alexis panted, her hand pressed to chest. All of us were silent until our breaths calmed and we were able to speak.
"WHAT THE FUCK WAS THAT!?" Dianna yelled. She looked freaked beyond her mind.
"IT WAS HUGE!" Alexis added.
"A bear." My voice sounded oddly calm. That was a lie. A bear? Ya, right. "Let's keep going. And throughout today, just keep a heads up. Leave your cells on...just in case."
Without a reply they nodded and we drove off again towards La Push. Alexis turned to look at me, she looked terrified. She was afraid after what happened at L*A. I shrugged as if I said no biggy, she nodded tried to distracted herself. Her eyes found the hoodie in my arms and she smiled.
"You still have it." She said happily.
"What?" Dianna asked peeking from the corner of her eye.
"The L*A Hoodie."
"Really? I still have my choker with the Phoenix on it."
"I still have the chain belt with Phoenix on it." Alexis nodded.
Right when she said that we drove up to a large red bricked building. Dianna pulled her car up to the front of the school. Teenagers were all over the front of the building and in the parking lot.
Alexis looked all over through the window. "Aw man, I don't see them." She pouted.
Dianna turned around and looked at me with a teasing smile. "Now, sweetie, I packed you some extra cookies to help you make friends. Remember don't talk to strangers and stay away from those meanie bullies."
"Har-D-Har Har that was so funny I almost forgot to laugh. Later.." I countered. I jumped out of the car and slammed the door. As soon, as was 15 feet a way. I heard them yell.
"BYE SUNNY! WE LOVE YOU!" They made kissy faces. I turned on my heel gave them the bird and turned back to walk toward the entrance of the school. I heard their laughter slowly fade.
I had just reached the entrance to the school when I felt someone's stare almost pierce through me. Right before I went in I looked around. Nope, nothing, nada.
"I must be paranoid." I muttered walking in.
It looked just like your typical high school. Lockers, classrooms, teachers, students, the whole shabam. I walked to the main office and asked the old secretary, very politely might I add, for my schedule and such. She had narrowed her eyes and looked at me very suspiciously. The look practically screamed this-little-thing-upper-cutted-some-chick-in the-face. I snatched the schedule and marched out to the hallway. Leaning against the wall I read the schedule.

Ugh, Chemistry. Me + Balancing Equations = EPIC FAILURE. Did I just say that? But, seriously UGH! P.E? Calculus? It's like my own personal hell. How am I going to find my way around this place?
"Hi there." I looked up from the paper and HOLY HIEGHT OF HELL! I think I found Alexis's 6-foot sexy ass guy. He had to be at least 6 ft 5, russet skin, dark black eyes, and black hair. Not only was he tall he was definitely buff. "I'm Jacob Black." He smiled holding his hand out. (AN. Haha gottcha there didn't I.)
"Um..Hey. Uh- I'm Sole -I mean- Sunny Rivera." I blurted. Oh wow, that was smart. Very smooth sunny, very smooth. I shook his hand. Mentally slapping myself, I tried to refrain from staring him wide eyed.
"So, your new right?"
"Yup," I said mentally cringing. New girl...Again..
"Wait! Your not that chick who punched Stacce Hall in the nose are you?"
"Yeah, I am that chick What? Is she a girlfriend of yours?"
"Ha. No WAY! She wishes." He laughed. Well, someones over confident.
"Wait, how the hell do you know this? It just happened yesterday."
He shrugged, as if it was a regular thing. "News travels fast, especially gossip." A smile spread across his face, pure amusement. "You? You punched her?"
"Why is it so hard to believe? Bitch had what came to her. And I'm not usually a violent person." Most of the time. Haha. His smile spread.
"I just...uh...not to be mean or anythin' but your pretty damn short." He said quickly.
I raised my head, lifted my nose up in a stuck up manner. "I am 5 ft. 2. 5 ft. 4 with heels. I am sorry I don't have the height of hell. Now, if you excuse me." I turned on my heel and began to walk in some random direction.
"Hey hey, look." He caught to me in no time. I stopped and turned to him, giving him a 'what?' kinda look. "I'm sorry if I offended you, wasn't really thinking." Well, duh. "To make it up to you I'll help you find your class."
Woah, hold up. "Why?" I asked utterly shocked.
His eyes sparkled with a knowing gleam. "Let's just say, you'll thank me eventually."
What a weird kid. He held his hand out for the schedule, which I gave to him. Now that I thought of it. That secretary didn't give me a map...she probably wanted me to get lost.
"So," He said as he read my schedule. "we have English, Homeroom and Calculus together. But don't worry I'll introduce you to the guys. You have few classes with em too. Well, except for Spanish your by yourself."
"That's okay, just show me where it is and I should be okay." He nodded.
"Okay, well, c'mon we don't wanna be late." He led me through the halls. We talked the whole way there. Jake was a nice guy. He was really easy to talk to. I couldn't help but realize the jealous glares from the girls we passed. I mean, he is pretty damn hot. But, at the same time. There's nothing there. And I keep getting this feeling not to think of him that way, thank you my amazing intuitiveness. It felt almost as if there was a big sticker on his forehead that screamed. 'HE'S NOT YOURS STAY THE HELL AWAY. MINE!' I laughed, Jake looked at me with questioning glance, I shook my head. Could you imagine, Jake with a sticker on his forehead walking around. Totally LOL... I never said that...EVER!
"Here it is." He pointed to the door.
"Okay," as I reached the door knob, Jake's hand snatches the knob first.
"Wait!" He looked worried. He was hiding something. "Before you go in. You should know something." He paused, as if he was trying to figure out what to say.
"What?" I encouraged. Sorry, I really don't want to be late on my first day at a new school.
"My-broth- friend, Seth, he uh well might stare." stare? I frowned. "No, no don't worry. He's a good guy, a great guy actually when you get to know him." His eyes where completely truthful. I could tell by the way he talked about his friend he really cares about him. Well, how bad could it be?
I shrugged it off. "Okay." I smiled trying to convince what doubt he had. He nodded and opened the door slightly.
"Ladies first." I pushed the door open and walked with Jake right behind me. All the students were talking amongst themselves. The teacher, Mrs. Peterson, was sitting at the desk typing away at her laptop. Jacob walked in front of me to her.
"Mrs. Peterson?" Mrs. Peterson glanced up at him. She looked about in her late 40s with sandy colored hair and hazel eyes.
"Yes, Jacob?"
"We have a new student."
She had confused expression on her face. He gestured toward me. Understanding replaced confusion.
"Ah, Soleil Rivera. Yes. Well, please take a seat. And I'll mark down that your here." She said going back to the land of cyber space.
What? Now, I might be skipping classes. I've never done that...okay maybe once...twice – three times top, I swear.
"Sunny." Jacob said pulling me out of my mental denial rant.
"Excuse me?" Mrs. Peterson said looking at Jacob, annoyed that he pulled her away from her typing and from where I was standing she was writing a novel. An Erotica. I swear this stuff would make even Alexis and Dianna blush. And they were far more experienced. I mean, I'm no virgin Mary but dear lord, what fantasies involve a water bottle. I think I'm gonna throw up. One thing that made me laugh was the fact it had so many spelling mistakes.
"She likes to be called Sunny." He said staring straight at her confidently.
Clearly annoyed, she said. "Please take a seat, Jacob." And with that she went on with her naughty typing.
Jake rolled eyes and turned to me, "C'mon sit with me and the guys, I'll introduce you. We can talk this whole period and then I'll take you to your locker, unless someone else wants to..." His voice trailed off at the end. He began heading to the back of the room and that's when my eyes met his.
So, I decided to give a kinda-sorta cliffy. Tell me what you think.
