Trailer to book up above or to side depending on what you use to read.

-Annabel-

My alarm started going off. I reached over and hit the snooze button. "Annabel, you need to get up! You don't want to be late for school!" My father, Evan, yelled up at me. I used all my strength and sat up. I then stood up and looked in the mirror. My red hair looked like a mess. I plugged in my straightener and went to my closet. I grabbed a Sleeping with Sirens band tee and a pair of black ripped skinny jeans. By the time I finished changing my straightener was hot, so I started doing my hair then I did my make up. A simple winged eye liner along with my fake eyelashes. I also applied a little black lipstick.

I lined my wrists with my many band bracelets and then put in my tappers. I moved my lip ring with my tongue and grabbed my black neff beanie putting it on. Finally, I put on my black vans. Satisfied with my look I went downstairs. "Morning sweetie," my dad said kissing my cheek. I grabbed an apple out of the bowel, on the counter, not wanting to eat much. "We are going to Felony's tonight for dinner, so you can meet her son," my dad said.

I groaned. Don't get me wrong I like my dad's girlfriend I just feel that's she's changing things, and now she has a kid. I can not imagine how my life would be with a little kid running around. "Come on, Annabel, don't be that way," he said. "Okay, sorry," I said throwing my arms up in defense. I grabbed my book bag and thrown it over my shoulder. Off to hell- I mean school, I go. "Bye dad," I yelled exiting the door. I grabbed my penny board from the garage, since it was a nice spring morning, and started riding to school.

When I made it to school I jumped off my board and carried it by my side, and of course hateful words were thrown at me. I tried my best to ignore them. I saw a familiar blue haired girl by my locker. "Alex!" I squealed. She turned around and squealed, "Annabel!" We hugged after not seeing each other over the weekend. "I love your outfit today!" Alex said. "Thanks I put it together myself," I said casually flipping my hair. Alex and I laughed.

"Annabel!" I heard an way to familiar voice say my name. I turned to see him walking towards me. "Jordan!" I yelled. I sprinted towards him and nearly tackled him to the floor. "Oh my mosh when did you get back?!" I asked. "About around midnight," he said shurging. "Is Kyle back too?" Alex asked when we reached my locker. "Yeah, he's showing Damon and Johnnie around," Jordan said. "Who are Damon and Johnnie?" I asked. "Couple of youtubers that were at warped who decided to start going here. Damon and Johnnie are juniors like us," Jordan explained. "Yeah aren't they also in My Digital Escape with us?" Alex asked. "Johnnie is, but Damon is just another youtuber that was there," Jordan said, "and Shannon decided to stay home." The bell rang signaling we had 5 minutes till first hour started. Jordan flung his arm over my shoulders. "To class we go!" he said making me laugh.

| After School |

When I got to my locker Alex was waiting for me. "Hey let's stop at the gas station and get some Peace Tea. I'm having cravings for it," she said rubbing her hands together. "I heard we're getting Peace Tea?" Kyle asked coming out of absolutely no where. "For the love of bands, Kyle, you scared the shit out of me," I said playfully hitting his chest. "Did you guys bring your boards today?" I asked. "I did," Kyle and Alex said in unison, so they stopped by their lockers and grabbed their boards. While we were ridding to the gas station a group of populars were driving by and decided to yell, "Emos" out at us and throw some sort of food. "Assholes!" I yelled as we flipped them off.

After we got three Razzelberry Peace Teas I pulled out my iPhone and I opened my snapchat. "Cheese!" I said as we held up our Peace Teas and smiled. I saved the photo then added "Peace Tea squad" as the caption and posted it on my snapchat story. "Make sure you send that to me!" Kyle said. "Yeah, me too!" Alex squealed. I felt my phone buzz signaling I had a text message. "Hey, Jordan wants to know if we wanna hang out with him, Shannon, and the new guys," I said. "Fine with me," Kyle said. "Yeah, I don't care," Alex said shrugging.

| Jordan's House |

When we got to Jordan's, Mrs. Sweeto let us in and told us they were in the basement. "You guys made it!" Jordan said making his way towards us, "Annabel, let me introduce you!" Jordan grabbed my hand and led me to a tall blonde boy. "Annabel, this is Bryan Stars," Jordan said motioning to the boy. "Nice to meet you, Annabel!" Bryan said in a awful impersonation of a British accent. "Next, we have Damon Fizzy aka D Fizzy," Jordan said motioning to the boy with the long brown hair. Damon waved and smiled. "And finally we have Johnnie!" Jordan said smiling.

My brown eyes were met with a pair of electric blue ones. Johnnie was around my height with long black hair with red thrown in it. He also had a lip piercing. His blue eyes look bold with the eyeliner on them. I stood there starring at him with my mouth ajar. "Close your mouth, Annabel, or you'll catch flies," Shannon said. My face turned a deep red from embarrassment as I quickly closed my mouth. Johnnie was really good looking. You know the kind of good looking where you just can't help but stare. I wasn't the only one starring though. Johnnie seemed to be taking everything about me in. Maybe even judging me.

I wouldn't classify myself as beautiful, but I wouldn't consider myself ugly either. "It's uh- nice to meet you, Annabel," he said a stupid grin crept on his lips. It went silent again everyone was looking from me to him. Finally Kyle broke the silence. "Hey we should make a video!" Kyle said. Everyone began chatting, but Johnnie and I remained silent and just starred at each other with no emotion. I felt my stomach do twists. Did I just get butterflies? My phone buzzed causing me to break my gaze with Johnnie.

Dad: Annabel where are you?! You were supposed to be home right after school.

Shit. I cursed out loud instead of in my head like I planned. I ran up to Jordan and started pulling his arm. "Jordan, can you please drive me home? Like right now?" I asked making puppy dog eyes. "Uh- sure I don't see why not," he said grabbing his keys off the dresser. "I'll be right back guys. Just don't make too much noise. Also please don't touch anything," Jordan said in a serious tone. We climbed into Jordan's car and he drove me home.

-Johnnie-

I just kind of stood there for a second. "Johnnie, you okay?" Bryan asked breaking me from my thoughts. "Huh? Oh- oh yeah," I said shrugging. Annabel was... breathtaking to be completely honest. "Hey Kyle?" I asked. "Yeah, Johnnie?" he replied. "Are Jordan and Annabel- uh dating?" I asked bitting my lip. "Annabel and Jordan? Oh no they just have been friends for a really long time. Why?" he said. "Just wondering," I said.

"Johnnie, we better go if you want to make that dinner," Bryan said. I groaned. "I don't even get why I have to go," I said. "Come on, Johnnie, I think it means a lot to your mom. I don't think I've seen her this happy since your dad died," Bryan said slinging his arm over my shoulder as we made our way to his car.

Welp there we go the first chapter! It's a long one too.

And no Annabel DOES NOT look like Ariana Grande. I just used her in the trailer because she was the only actress, I could get gifs, of that had red hair at a point.
