Same thing every morning, I would argue with myself wether to get out of bed or not. In the end I would get up and head for the shower. Thank god I have my own bathroom, Jorden always took forever in the morning. I swear he thinks he is a girl sometimes.

I stared into my wardrobe hoping a outfit would just jump out infront of me yelling Pick me, Pick me im cute. In the end I settled for my black skinny jeans, long purple vest top, black crop cardagin and my purple convers. I brushed my hair ran the straightners through it, hoping it would stay straight all day. I sprayed a ton of hairspray to keep my hair in place, put on my Kiss perfume and my bodyspray. Before I left my room I placed my fave bracelet on, It was a charm bracelet from my granny before she passed a few years ago, the charms were letters that spelt out 'Believe in you.' I grabbed my school bag and headed down the stairs. I was running late so today I had to skip breakfast.

"Bye Mum, bye Dad." I shouted over my shoulder and headed to the cornor where the bus stopped. I had my ipod on, blasting Demi Lovato.

School was the same boring place it has ever been. I finished in Maths early and had to wait the rest of the period doing jack all. English went by far to quickly as normal. I love english, my parents say that I only like english cause to me it is a easy class but the truth is I love getting lost in different worlds. During lunch I debated with myself again, this time about going to choir. Of course my nerves got to me and I didn't go. The rest of the day went by in a falsh and before I knew it I was walking home listening to my ipod and reading my new book. The Truth About Forever. I had only got on the Friday and it was my third time reading it.

As I got to the bottom of my drive I walked right into my brother who was just staring across the road like a ejit.

"Jorden what the hell?" I asked pulling out a headphone and folding the cornor of the page. Across the street from us was a moving van. A woman was walking back from the house, she had longish brown hair and wasn't very tall. She was soon followed by a taller boy, about my age. He had light brown hair and a gourges smile. I looked at my brother and rolled my eyes. Jorden was always a nosey-parker, he had to know everything. I walked into the house and headed to my room to dump my bag. I headed down to the fridge to grab and apple and redbull, if I was gonna stay awake for doing my homework I was gonna need it. Non of the homework was due untill the following Monday but I needed to get it out the way. As I closed the door I saw a note to Jorden.

"Yo Jorden!" I screamed up the stairs.

"What!" He yelled back.

"Mum and Dad say you have to put the bins out tonight!"

"Can't be bothered. I'll give you $5 if you do it!" He could never be bothered to do it.

"10 and you got a deal." I yelled. He hated giving me money but hated doing chores even more.

"Whatever! Will you just put them out for me?" He asked.

"Sure thing." I put my apple and redbull down and grabbed the bin liner and headed to the rubbish bins outside.

As I opened the door our dog Sparky ran out and sat at the bottom of the steps. I headed to the end of the drive and put the bag in the bin. I put the lid down and looked up. The new boy across the road looked over and waved. I smiled and waved back. I started to head back when the boy shouted.

"Hey I was wondering if you knew where the bus for South High stops?" He asked reaching me.

"Emmmm yeah, its the bus I get. It stops at Lincoln Dive." I said staring in his eyes. The were a perfect brown, I could feel myself getting lost in them.

"Where is Lincoln Drive?" The boy asked placing his hand in his pockets.

"Well if you want I could show you tomorrow? If you want me to." I suggested. Brushing a bit of hair behind my ear.

"Yeah, I'd like that. Thanks. I'm Justin by the way." He streched out his hand and I streched out mine.

"Allison, but most people call me Alli." I said.

"Well Alli, I guess I'll see you tomorrow then."

"I guess you will. See you tomorrow then." I said and walked away.

"Come on Sparks." I shouted and the dog soon came running towards me, Justin was walking home but looked over his shoulder, smiled and waved. I did the same and walked inside.

"He likes you." Jorden jumped out from the living room and making me jump and scream. I hit his arm.

"Ass. And no he doesn't, he doesn't know where to get the bus so we are gonna walk together tomorrow."

"Uh-huh. He likes you."

"Whatever dude." I grabbed my apple and redbull then headed up stairs to start my homework. I looked out the window and saw Justin take in a few more boxes, he must of seen me cause he waved. I waved back and started on my homework.
