Chapter I | Anastasia's POV

THUD THUD THUD.

The sudden hollow echo of knuckles rapping on the my room door awakened me. Blinking a couple of times to adjust my eye sight, I check my alarm clock and see that it's 8:30. Shit I'm late. Oh well, I'll go tomorrow.

THUD THUD.

''Anastasia Rose Steele, I don't care if you're late, get your ass up and go to school!'' My mother shouts. Ugh, why can't she just leave me the hell alone?

''What the hell mom! I don't feel like going!''

''Anastasia I don't care how you feel, don't make me have to break this door down!''

Sighing, I plop my face back down on the pillow and let out a loud scream. I just don't understand my parents, they hate it when I'm home and they hate it when I'm out!

''Open this damn door!'' She shouts, followed by a couple more hard knocks.

I lazily sit up and walk to the door to open it, only to be confronted by the most annoying woman in the world!

''I'm up now, you see?'' I widen my eyes, ''My eyes are open, oh my gosh! Fantastic isn't it!?'' I say to her, quite mockingly, as if I'm speaking to a toddler.

Letting out a laugh, she says, ''Like oh my gosh! That's so magnificent, if only all morning's were like this!''

I glare at her, ''Yeah yeah yeah, whatever.''

She steps aside to let me pass and enter the bathroom, ''I love you!'' I hear her yell.

''Gag!'' I yell back. I sometimes wish I was a baby again, this school shit, and waking up early are pretty fucking annoying, I swear they will be the death of me.

Stepping out of the shower, I walk to my room. My palace, which I love to call it, because the way I designed it, is pretty fucking rad. It's all closed in, a tye dye colored bedspread, waterfall scented candles, and the LED lights make it colorful, it's beautiful, serene, and comfy.

I walk over to my dresser and choose a black striped sweater, jean stretch twill high-waist side zipper shorts, some black see through leggings, and my black combat boots.

I apply my Kat Von D's concealer on the scars visible on my thighs. Works like a charm.

I blow dry my hair, and run my brush through it, this will have to do for now. Not to be conceited or anything but my hair looks good even when it's messy.

Minutes later, I'm finally dressed and ready to go. Today isn't the day to be applying makeup on my face. I wanna go all natural today, so I just apply some Strawberry Sorbet flavored EOS lip balm on my lips. Perfect.

I walk to the kitchen and grab a green apple. ''Later's!'' I yell to my parents.

Grabbing my car keys off the key holder, I walk out of the house and stride towards my baby, my black 67 Camaro with white stripes. Well technically, it's my dad's baby, but it's going to be mine soon!

I get into the car and throw my black silver star studded bag in the passenger seat.

Putting the key into the ignition and twisting, I take a few seconds to appreciate the beautiful roar it makes. I love this car. I love it so much.

I turn up the radio, and the sound of The Middle by Jimmy Eat World blares throughout the car.

I bob my head up and down to the music and go through my bag, while keeping my eyes on the road, and take out my pack of Marlboro cigarettes.

Grabbing the pack, I take out a stick and grab my lighter and light up the cig, I inhale the addicting poison and release a cloud of tension.

I arrive to the hell hole, and the front of the school is deserted. No people just the cars on the parking lot.

Taking the key out of the ignition, I grab my bag and throw my keys in. I open the car door and walk to the entrance.

Exhaling a puff of smoke one last time, I throw the cig on the ground and stomp on it.

''Let's do this.'' I whisper to myself before opening the door and walking to the office to get a tardy pass.

I recieve my little blue slip and walk upstairs to my class. Once I'm in front of my classroom door. I roll my eyes, and take a deep breath before twisting the doorknob.

Walking in, I'm met with the eyes of all the idiots in my class. I see some girls snickering and whispering to each other, probably calling me a whore or worse. I don't care though, I've heard it all before.

It's then when I'm met with a face I've never seen before. His perfectly sculpted face is the canvas for his godlike features, full, tempting lips, and stunning, smoking gray mysterious eyes.

I don't know how long I've been staring, because Mrs. Teal has obviously been trying to get my attention by waving her stupid hand in my face and all the idiotic students in my class are now laughing.

''Ms. Steele, I think you have something for me?'' Mrs. Teal says.

''Yes, here.'' I say nervously and hand her my tardy pass. I turn my attention back to the new boy, and he's now smirking at me. Asshole. He must be so full of it.

''You may sit now..'' Mrs. Teal demands me. The worst part is.. The dude is sitting in the seat that's next to mine. Great, just great.

I walk to my seat, and I hear Elena whispering to Leila, saying how much of a slut I am. They're snickering and it's annoying the shit out of me. Leila's really scared of me, so I'll just use this to my advantage.

I lean over the new kid's desk and whisper to Elena, ''I'm sorry Elena, what was that?'' She just glares at me, so I continue, ''thought so, I wouldn't want to break your nose again.'' I now have the whole class gasping and laughing. I wonder how they even heard me. Nosy fuckers.

Elena's eyes widen and she calls the teacher's attention, ''Mrs. Teal, Ana just threatened to break my nose!''

Mrs. Teal has always been annoyed with Elena's presence, I mean who hasn't? She's all bark, no bite! ''Is that true Ms. Steele?'' She says.

''Ask Leila'' I say to her. Turning my attention towards Leila, I give her my threatening expression and she squirms uncomfortably under my stare. Ha!

''Leila?'' Mrs. Teal pressures her to answer.

''N-Nuh uh..'' Leila replies, stuttering while shaking her head from side to side. I smirk at her and turn my attention to Mrs. Teal.

Raising my eyebrows, Teal finally says something, ''I don't tolerate lying Elena, you know that. Just get back to work so I won't have to send you to the principal's office!''

Elena crosses her arms and huffs. She looks like a kid who's just been denied candy.

I sit down in my seat and I see the new kid staring at me, as if he's trying to read me or something.

''Stop fucking staring at me'' I whisper to him, harshly.

He glares at me before turning his attention to the front of the classroom. I fucking thought so, new kid!

Time flies and we're down to the last 3 minutes of class when Mrs. Teal announces who we will be partnered up with for our English project.

''Ana, you will be partnered up with Christian Grey.'' Who the hell is that? I'm about to raise my hand to question who it is when I feel someone poking my shoulder.

I look to my right and the new kid is smirking at me, ''I guess we'll be seeing more of each other after all.''

Fuck my life.
