chapter one - new beginnings

Reagan's P.O.V.

On a normal day in San Antonio it's a scorching 97 degrees, and the last thing anybody wants to do is leave the house.

Sadly, summer break is coming to an end, and with that, school is just around the corner. I don't want to have to see any of my classmates from the last three years of high school. In just a year, I will be free from this small town.

I used to be very involved in school.. I was on the track team, I played basketball, I was even apart of the math and science team for a short time. All of that changed at the end of the first semester when my aunt passed away. We were extremely close, closer than I am to either of my parents.

I have decided since then that I wouldn't be as involved in school, and that I would take it easy for my senior year. I have grown very distant from everybody in my life and my attitude is destroyed. I'm surprised that my best friend, Carter, and my boyfriend, Jackson, have stuck around through my constant mood swings- aka my newly formed bitchiness.

Carter has been over almost every day since summer began and would only leave when her parents begged her to come home. Jackson has started to become resentful towards me. I'm not as affectionate as I used to be and we haven't been hanging out as much as we usually do. He has been very short and I don't think that we may last much longer as a couple. It's sad to think about, considering that we have been together since the end of freshman year. Tomorrow will be the first time that I have seen him since our two year anniversary at the first of summer.

Not only am I dreading having to go back to school, but I'm dreading having the face Jackson. It's currently 2:30pm and I'm stuck preparing my school bag for tomorrow. I pack in two journals and a binder that I use to hold my schoolwork. I grunt and throw the bag by my bedroom door and plop down on my bed.

My phone lights up and vibrates against my bedside table. I glance over and see that it's Carter, so I reach over and grab it, using finger id to unlock it. I see a screen full of texts from Carter.

carter: REAGAN
