Chapter 1: Back to School

My ears were welcomed by the sound of my irritating alarm clock. I slowly opened my eyes and it dawned on me that it was the first day of senior year. I woke up quickly, too quickly that I got dizzy. As I clutched my head with the dizziness, rushed to the bathroom and, surprisingly so, Alex, my badass twin sister, wasn't there. I guess she had already started preparing for the first year as a cheerleader.

After taking a shower and washing my teeth I went back to my room to wear my outfit for the day which was thrown out on a chair. It was my normal jeans and over-sized grey hoodie which had 'Surfing' in a wavy manner spread across the hoodie. As soon as I wore them I went to the bathroom to do my hair and pulled it up in a ponytail. As I was staring at my reflection in the mirror I remember that I still have to wear my shoes so I run off to my untidy room.

As I step in I see Alex standing in front of my open closet with her big cheerleading bag. She is wearing her lemony shirt, with a picture of a sunflower in the middle. Her shirt was tucked in her ripped jeans and her white sneakers were tied perfectly. Her hair was put in a messy bun and she was pushing her round glasses in between of her eyebrows.

"Hey, sleepy-head, are you ready for senior year?" she cheerfully said as she came to give me a hug.

"No definitely not. But yes I am down for the pranks and cool stuff" I told her with a smile as I sat down on my bed and started tying my shoes. She stayed there staring at me while I calmly tied my shoes. When I was finally finished we both got our stuff and headed downstairs. 

As we hurrily get down the stairs, mum is already there with two small brown bags in two hands. She hands one each to us and as I peek inside I see a lemon muffin and 10 dollars.

"This special treat is only for today. From tomorrow you will be having your regular lunch." she told us as she smiled and hugged us. Than she put one hand on my shoulder and the other on Alex's shoulder and said with wet eyes: "Oh my young girls are drifting of to senior year and before you know it you'll go to college, get a diploma, start a family of your own-" she paused there as she sniffed 

"Hopefully between college and having a family there will be a big gap." dad said as he came from behind us and gave us each a kiss on the forehead.

At that moment there was a car honk coming from outside. As all four of  us turned, from the kitchen window half of a pink Mercedes with white and shiny diamond stickers is visible. Me and my sister know exactly who that is. Ladies and gentlemen, that poshy girl in the driver's seat is our best friend in the whole wide world, Brooke Turner. 

As we said our goodbies we rushed to the front door and in front of our frontyard, our friend was parked. She was wearing her usual light brown jacket made of wool and her matching chequed crop top and short skirt. She also wore one of those Kardashian sunglasses and as she looked at us, her black hair was swaying in the drift. Her chanel earrings were shining in the sun. She also wore her pink glossy lip balm.

Well of course she wore like that I mean that makes her popular in school (also the drama she creates. That makes her popular too) We ran to her as she told us:

"There they are. My twinzies. Anywho who is excited for senior year? Wohoooo" she shouted as we both settled in her car. "So any requests for a song" She said as she turned to us. But she didn't even give us a chance to finish when she said "Ok none? So let me choose one".  Alex and I knew exactly the song that we were gonna hear next: Golden by Harry Styles

After a road trip of singing to Golden we found ourselves in River High's parking lot.  As we got out we walked to the front of our school and it was spectacular: Banners with 'Welcome Back to School' painted on them, the school's arm (yellow and dark blue with a golden lion in the middle) and students all over the campus: some studying, some panicking, some chill..... all types of students. Then on the right there was River High's only competitor, Rosewall High.

The story of how they became competitors takes us back to 1603 where two sisters in Eden had decided to build a High School together but they didn't seem to agree so instead they built two different high schools and they were enemies ever since.

Bus doors were being closed, shouts and excitement of children could be heard from both Rosewall and River High. The damp street was making it more feel like September and to think that almost 8 months from now we will be graduating! And a whole crazy year awaited us...........
