Fangs

Chapter 1

'Beep Beep Beep'

Ugh! I slap my arm around on my bed side table as i attempt to silence my pesky alarm. I hate the thing, but my mom insists that i have one considering that without it, i would wake up at noon. I slowly open my eyes and wipe the sleep away from them, i stare at the clock as it reads 6:00 am. I roll myself out of the warmth of my beloved bed and stumble to my bathroom.

As i turn on the lights i squint, seeing as how the intensity of the light is too much for my eyes to bear, especially since its so fricken early in the morning.

I'm finally able to fully open eyes, i lean my head down in the sink as i splash cool water in my face which is rather refreshing and helps me to wake myself up. I gently dab my face with a dry towel and look up to be greeted by my reflection. I give myself a once over in the mirror, i think I'm pretty OK looking, i have blond wavy hair that reaches just above my breasts. I'm about average height for my age, my boobs are a pretty decent size for my body type, and as my mother so often likes to remind me, i have a nice petite body with curves that compliment my figure. But I'm just average, there's nothing really special about me.

Sometimes when im in the mood ill put on some makeup, today is definitely one of those days since i got barely any sleep last night and i look dead. I quickly moisturize my face and apply some undereye concealer then set that with powder. In addition i add a thin layer of eyeliner and a bit of mascara with some pink tinted lip balm.

As im exiting the bathroom i hear my mom scream up at me from downstairs "Gwenny! If you dont get a move on your going to be late for school!", i look over to my bed stand and check the time...Crap! Where did the time go, it's already 6:30 and i havent even gotten dressed or eaten breakfast yet and i have to leave in 25 minutes!

"COMING MOM" i yell down to her as i quickly head towards my closet. I look inside and pull out a simple outfit, just a plain blue teashirt with a pair of jean shorts and my black converse.

I run down the stairs and as soon as i reach the bottom i am surrounded by the most delicious smell in the world, scrambled eggs and french toast, my absoloute favorite.

"Smells great mom" i said as i greeted her with a smile and sat down at the table.

" Thank you sweetheart" she replies, setting a full plate with a napkin right in front of me. I dont even wait for her to hand me silverwear, as soon as i see the french toast i shove it all into my mouth. I hear somone clearing theyre throat and i turn my head to the side. Blush creeps onto my face when i see my mom looking down at me with her 'you better stop or your gonna get it' face.

With a full mouth i murmer a quick "sorry mom."

And she just replies with a "mmmmhhhhhmmmm"

*********

After finishing my food and putting my plate in the sink i hear my older brother Jake coming down the stairs.

"Hey Jake" i say to him as he heads toward the table to get his food.

"Hey Gwen"

"Honey," my mom starts at jake, " your going to be late, you only have 15 minutes to get to school and its a five minute drive."

Jake replies, " Er yeah uh...sorry mom i didn't hear my alarm go off so i kinda slept in."

Mom huffs " Its ok just hurry up and eat your food so you can drive you and your sister to school."

" K, hey wheres dad?"

"He already left for work and he wont be back until 9."

My dad is a very important buisness man for a softwhere company so he works pretty long hours. We dont see him a whole lot, especially on week days but we've all gotten pretty used to it so it doesnt really bother anyone anymore.

My brother just says ok and turns his attention back to his food.

*******

Jake and i walk out towards his white 2015 Kia K900 Sedan. Before we leave he asks me the same thing he has for the past 2 years.

" So its friday, are you doing anything tonight? "

I sigh, " No jake and im perfefctly ok with that, i think ill just stay in and read"

Usually this response works for him, he usually just grunts and sarcastically says 'sounds fun'....but not this time, this time he says back rather loudly.

" Damnit Gwen, your 17. You shouldnt be wasting your friday nights at home reading some lame book. I seriously dont get it, your grades are perfect so you shouldnt be worried about that, and its not like your ugly, i mean how could you be when your related to all this." he motions to himself with his hands, "look, im ummm... im going to a party tonight and i think you should come."

I mentally roll my eyes, i know who's party hes talking about, its his firend jackson's, i really dont like him, back in middle school he would always stare at me whenever he was over at our house and he took every opportunity he had to touch me.

" Thats nice of you jake but really, im fine." i say trying to convince him that im perfectly ok staying at home.

"Please gwenny" he pleads sticking his bottom lip out, oh great now he's using the pet name mom gave me.

"Thanks but no tha-" Jake suddenly cuts me off and screams.

"PLLLLLLEEEEEEAAAAAASSSSSEEEEEEEE GGGWWWWWEEENNNNNYYYY!!!!!!!"

" OK! " i shout, " i'll go, just please shut up"

With that he smiles, seeming to be surprised that i said yes. He gives me a quick kiss on the cheek "Thanks gwen", we pull out of the driveway and head towards the school.
