Chapter 1
This story begins with a loud ringing in my ear at 5:30am in the morning, everyone else is asleep so I have to creep around the house so I don't wake them I prefer to wake up earlier than everybody else so I can get more done as I slip on my uniform and head down stairs with my school bag. I make myself some toast and coffee seeing as I'm still half asleep. I hear the stairs slowly starting to creak my dad walked in "it's fucking 5:43am go to sleep" he huffed "there's no point I need to go to school in like an hour and a half" I rolled my eyes "your fucking useless sometimes" he growled "I'm taking the bus though" I argued, he just ignored me slamming the door behind him and storming up the stairs. He is so inconsiderate of other people it really annoys me. I just have to deal with it once I get my career on track. I can finally move out of this place FOR GOOD! Of course I'll visit I do love my family even though we argue a lot the only thing I would change is my dads verbal Abuse the only reason I know he's verbally abusive was when I was 8 and I got a side character in a play and he was calling me stupid and that I won't get anywhere in life, I thought it's was normal until I met a guy called Stephan who had got the exact same part as me and his mother was cheering him on I was really confused and when I looked around, it seemed like all the parents were supportive of there children. But the good thing is Stephan saw that I was upset and he and his mother comforted me. To this day Stephan is my best friend. Whenever my dad comes at me with his cruel words I always go to Stephan's house. his mother is one of the most pure people I've ever met always welcoming me with a warm embrace speaking to me with a soft tone always listening to my problems she always understands my decisions and feelings and respects my boundaries, well most of the time sometimes she goes over the top with things like always trying to set me and Stephan up she means well but Stephan means to much to me as a friend and I wouldn't risk that just to explore feelings that aren't there..for me anyway. Quickly my toast popped out of the toaster and the kettle had boiled I placed my breakfast on the breakfast island and ate it while doing my homework
After that I brushed my teeth and put my hair in a messy bun with a few curls sticking out. I was on the brink of leaving the house for my bus when I heard my sister run down the stairs "have u seen my hairbrush?" She asks "no" I reply because I haven't "LIAR! I BET YOU TOOK IT!" she growls "what?? No I didn't, why would I want your nits in my hair?" I scowled, she looked so offended. "I don't ha-." She was cut off by my mother running down the stairs wrapping her dressing gown round her waist "what's going on?" She said, rubbing her eyes as she reached the light "I was just leaving for school mum" I said, giving her a quick peck on the cheek and rolling my eyes at my sister "okay hun have a nice day be good and keep working hard" she smiles. As Ieft I could hear my sister ranting and raving about me to mum but I didn't care. I looked up at the house to see my little brother Reggie looking out the window waving me goodbye. I gave him a big wave and walked to the bus stop.
When I got there, Stephan was there sitting on his phone. I crept behind him "boo!!" I screeched in his ear, "whataaswaaaaaaaoooaa" he jumped, I laughed at the statement he said "you learning a different language?" I giggled sitting next to him "I should learn by now you do that every day!" Placing his hand on my shoulder trying to catch his breath I glanced over his hand on my shoulder and looked at his phone and I burst out laughing. "What's funny?" He was confused as to why I was laughing "you stalking me on Instagram?" I teased "wha- no it's my on my for you page" he stuttered "bahah Stephan that's my profile.." I said jokingly "I was just about to message you where you are!" He défends himself "why are you looking at my content thennnnn?" I say getting closer to him, slowly the bus pulls up and the doors open Stephan quickly gets up "c'mon let's go!" He says as he helps me up. He's so funny this is why he's my best friend he makes me laugh so much my stomach aches
When we got onto the bus I sat near the window and Stephan sat in the aisle seat. I nudged him in the arm gently and playfully whispered "stalker!" He pushed me away "shut up" he laughed I pushed him back so it turned into a playful fight "stop flirting guys" Aliana teased whilst seating on the other side of the row Aliana was another friend of ours she had blackish frizzy hair and tanned skin with hazel green eyes she was so pretty but she is very sarcastic "yeah get a room" jaxton said sitting next to Aliana. He gave her kiss, those guys only started dating 2 months ago but to be honest they both have commitment issues so no one thinks it will last but they act like a happily married couple well sometimes when they fight THEY FIGHT no literally they physically fight each other it's funny to watch
"What's the first lesson?" Aliana asks me assuming I know myself "don't ask me I don't know!" I giggle, Aliana just rolls her eyes. I look at Stephan who is staring at his phone once again, "stalking me again?" I smirk "are you ever gonna let that go?" He asks " nope" I laugh he leans back into his chair "what are you on about?" Jaxton asks "oh Stephan wa-." I said trying to explain but what cut of by Stephan sitting up blocking my view of Aliana and jaxton "nothing it's literally nothing" he snaps "are you guys secretly datingggg?" Aliana laughs pushing Stephan back in his chair so she can see me "he wishes" I scoff, jaxton and Aliana bursts out laughing "no I don't!" Stephan shouts pushing me playfully again. Jaxton and Ali along with Stephan started talking about some random stuff that I really didn't care about so I looked out of the window and zoned out only to hear my thoughts. This got me thinking we never did answer the question of what first lesson is first. I hope it's not maths. As I looked away from the window I saw Stephan wavering in my face and calling my name "ELIZA!" He shouted "what?? Jeez you're so Loud" I said covering my ears "were at school" he whispers I laughed at him and pushed him onto the aisle and out the bus door when I stood on the pavement and the bus had driven off I closed my eyes and sniffed there air with motivation to actually do the work in school today "you coming?" Stephan asks "yep!" I answered happily putting my arms around Stephan just as we started to walk up the stairs to school a black car pulled up behind us grabbing everybody's attention
While everyone was staring at the shiny clean black car a young boy came out of the car, he had a well built and muscular posture, but a bitter look in his face of course all the girls stood there in awe of him and his seductive jawline, delicate black hair, his immaculate eyes that were dark blue and just a tint of turquoise in the middle he also had impeccable taste in clothing...BUT I wasn't drooling all over him like those girls were!! He probably has a arrogant personality anyway
"Let's go.." I say grabbing Stephan's arm before the other boy passed us "you're the one who stopped in the first place" he started dragging himself behind me. I just ignored him so we could get to class
