More will be posted after the chapter so go on and read :D
Chapter 1
It was around 7:02 in the morning on the Friday before spring break. I had been lying on my bed for the past half an hour trying to convince my lazy butt to get out of my warm, cozy bed. My phone rang on my dresser and pretty much made me get up so I could stop the high pitched beeping coming from it.
‘Giving you a ride today?’ it read.
‘Yea, thanks’ I replied.
I walked over to my bathroom and turned on the shower. While I waited for the water to warm up, I brushed my teeth. After I finished, I stripped and got into the now warm shower. As soon as the warm water hit my skin, I was fully awake.
After I finished washing my hair and rinsing, my shower was finished. I made my way over to my walk-in closet and chose today’s outfit – a purple and blue striped shirt, slightly torn dark blue skinny jeans, and my black vans. Next, I walked back into my bathroom and started working on my hair. I already decided it was going to be a lazy day, so I just brushed out the knots in my long, blonde hair and put it into a ponytail while sweeping my bangs to the side. Lastly, I put just a little eyeliner on to bring out my goldish hazel eyes.
I checked the clock – 7:58. My phone started to beep again.
‘Be there in 3’
I made my way down the stairs and, grabbing a cup of coffee, made my way to the front door, exiting the warm house and entering the cold, overcast outdoors. Ryan was pulling into my driveway behind my mom’s car, and I waved to him. Both my parents work full time and go on a ton of business trips, so I barely see them. I don’t really mind, though, because that just means I get the house to myself more and I can have friends over whenever I want.
I opened the door of Ryan’s red 2001 Corvette and sat down in the passenger seat, all the while studying his features.
Ryan has short, dark blonde, spiky hair; sparkling, electric blue eyes; and stands 6’3” as of late. Almost all the girls I know are after him. I have to admit, he is kind of cute and maybe, just maybe, I have the slightest crush on him.
“Yo,” Ryan said with a smile on his face.
“Yo,” I responded, grinning as well. Ryan chuckled.
“Your voice gets really high when you say that,” he pointed out. I laughed at that.
“That was a kind of weird thing to say,” I countered, still laughing. “But then again, you are a weird person.” As I said that, he turned his face and glared at me.
“I’m gonna get you for that later.”
“Mmhm, I’d like to see you try.”
A couple minutes of driving later, we made it to our school; our plain, boring, way-too-normal high school. We got out of the car and Ryan slung his arm around my shoulders, and we made our way to our two other best friends. Lizzy and Sean were sitting in the quad area at a table, hand in hand.
Lizzy has gold eyes and shoulder length, brunette hair that is cut in layers. At 5' 1" she is kind of short to be sixteen. Her boyfriend of five months, Sean, has spiky hair like Ryan, but it is slightly longer and it’s brown along with dark brown eyes. He stands 6’2”, just one inch shorter than Ryan.
“When are you two just going to go out already?” Lizzy asked exasperatedly. “It’s obvious you both like each other.” I shot her a death glare because, since she was my best friend that was a girl, I told her about how I thought I might like Ryan.
