Chapter 1 (Alice's view)

When I woke up this morning, it was foggy-weather you could expect where I live. I got up from my bed and did my usual routine-shower, clothes, food, teeth, hair, etc. When I finished, I found my older sisiter waiting for me in the kitchen.
"Hey Alice! Need a ride to school?"
"No thank you Emily. I want to walk today."
My sister looked at me in suprise. "In the rain?"
I looked out the window-the fog had left and the rain had came. "I guess. I just wanted some exercise. Besides, you've done enough to help me lately. You let me live with you in your new house-I don't want to take advantage of you!"
My sister smiled. "I had to let you come, especially since mom and dad were killed..." Then we both looked into each other's sad faces then smiled again.
I blinked. "Ya I guess you did...I still don't want to take advantage of you though."
"Are you sure?"
"Yes-I'm fine don't worry. See you when I get back!"
Once I got to school, I went to my locker, got my stuff for my first class, then closed it to find my friend Nathan leaning against the lockers next to me.
"What's cookin' good lookin'?" He said as he smiled at me.
I sighed. "Don't you have anything else to do?"
He smiled. "Why would I want to leave the girl of my dreams?"
I laughed. "You perv!"
He stared at me with love in his eyes and a smile on his face. "Just because I like you doesn't mean I'm a perv!"
I smiled. "Bye Nathan."
"BYE MY LOVE!" He shouted at me as I left the hallway laughing.
Once I got outside, my best friend Katelyn walked up to me. "Hey Alice! What was going on in the hallway just now?"
I giggled. "Nathan being weird again."
Katelyn smiled. "Oh...So, what did he do?" I stared at her. "We aren't dating Katie."
She frowned. "Darn. I always wanted to vote you as cutest class couple, but I don't think that's likely to happen because of you..."
"Yep..." My voice trailed off as the bell rang. "Gotta go. I have art first period-and I don't want to not finish today. See you later!"
"Bye!" Katelyn yelled to me as I left for class.
