Chloe rolled sleepily about her big four poster bed. The warm blankets entwined all around and comforting her from the cold outside that was trying to creep in through the window. Her alarm was annoyingly sounding louder and she blindly tapped on it till it stopped and dropped to the floor. It was her first school day back since the accident two weeks earlier. She lazily rolled out of bed, pulled on her slippers and her robe walking to her en suite bath room. She was a lucky girl, she had a large bed room, with a huge book case, she had raised flooring near the high sliding doors that opened up to a balcony. Chloe then had a door where it opened up to a large private study of her own and the door in her room was the only way in. She found a sliding book case that lead to the back yard and it was Chloe's own private sanctuary one of which she had. But the rooms still needed her personal touch, something that made it for her. She pulled off her robe and pyjamas and warmed herself in the shower washing off all the nerves returning to school. Then she randomly thought of why Jacob had not called since her accident.
"He is probably busy" she thought to herself.
Chloe couldn't rush the shower; she was appreciating the warmth off it. Chloe stepped out of the shower and pulled a robe on, wrapped a towel around her head and wiped away the due on the large vanity mirror. Chloe's skin was pale with not a single blemish on it. Her green eyes stood out in contrast to her brown and red tinged hair. She had long waist length hair with layers, it was a buzz ball. Chloe blow dried her hair and straightened it nice and crisp. She walked around her bed and in to the room where her clothes are kept. Chloe picked out a gray waist coat, black tights, leather beige knee length boots, a black tank top, a white long sleeved cashmere underneath with long flowing sleeves cardigan over top. Chloe clipped in a black bow pinned in to the side of her head and smiled to herself in the mirror and her put a little make up on, went and grabbed her school bag.
Chloe walked down to the kitchen and sat on the table with her mother typing on her lap top and her father reading the newspaper. Her father was kind and caring, her mother well could be controlling.
"What have you got today dear at school??"" her father asked Chloe.
"I have trig, art, music, math, biology. I am going to head to school early today father " She replied.
"Do you have your lap top with you dear?" her father asked her.
She pointed to the hand bag style bag beside her. Chloe got up and grabbed her bag
"Make sure you rug up dear. It looks rather cold out there" her mother told her kissing her on the check.
"Yes mother, my hat and scarf if by the door"
"Come here" her father laughed and kissed her on the cheeck. "What about your breakfast?" he asked concernly looking over his glasses and putting down the paper.
"I will get something from the diner dad. I have to go" Chloe called out as she hurried away and left for the door. She put on her beret, woolen scarf and headed out the door.
She rushed out to her car and hurriedly got in, turning on the heater and driving to the diner. Chloe bought her breakfast and drove to school. Chloe got to school early and got a park close to the school entrance. She got out her Jane Eyre book and began to read it to calm her nerves. Chloe could hear she being called by Mike's group from a few cars away and to not be the stranger she usually would like to be, Chloe cringed and so she got out carrying her back pack and lap top.
"Hey Chloe, how is the head?"Mike asked tapping on his head.
Mike was being his joking self.
"Yeah good, still on my shoulders" she replied back biting her lip sheepishly and looked down to the ground.
Chloe felt awkward as they all laughed together to the joke.
"We were just talking about the deb ball, I know it is only August and it is in November. Were you going to go?" Angela asked.
"Ah sure…" Chloe nervously laughed.
Three cars came along and parked. It was Edward and his family. Edward had parked beside Chloe's car and he got out smiling crooked looking towards Chloe's direction. Chloe looked up and gave a quick smiled at Edward and waved at him. He stood beside his car with his bag on his shoulders looking directly at Chloe.
"Here are the freaks" Mike whispered and the others laughed along.
"That isn't very nice" Angela commented.
"Guys I got to go and meet up with someone. But we must shop for some deb dresses soon".
"Freaks upon freaks" Eric laughed.
Chloe hunched her shoulders and stared down to the ground. She clenched her teeth and took out her drink bottle and swallowed the refreshing water. She could feel one of her head aches coming on. It didn't help with the snide remarks she could hear coming from the direction of the group behind her.
"You okay Chloe?" Edward asked as Chloe got to him.
He could see she was had a slight glisten of a temperature.
"Yeah I am fine. I just get these headaches every now and then…" she muttered. "Well they can sometimes be unbearable". She moved away from Edward as if she was scared of him.
"Do you take anything for it?" he asked in concern stepping towards her.
