The boy I never knew I needed

Chapter One: Last First Day Ever

Angel

The day has come, truthfully, I should be excited. It is the start of the end, senior year, the last year in the hellhole, Brooks High; while words cannot begin to explain how happy I am that it is the end, something about the school year ahead scares me. I do not know if it is the classes I am taking or the year outside of school, but I can tell I am not mentally prepared for what is about to come.

"ANGEL MADISON PRICE, GET OUT OF BED FOR GOD SAKES", the voice of my mum snaps me out of my thoughts. Yes, my name is Angel, I was meant to be a boy, came out a girl and my parents decided I was Angel or something; I do not know why, were not even religious. hopping out of bed, practically sprinting to my bathroom, I turn on the shower. Undressing from last night PJ's, I catch a glimpse of myself in the mirror. I love myself and I love my body, but like every other teenager in the world, I cannot help to pick out my own flaws. shaking away the negative thoughts, I begin to wash my hair, and body and shave unnecessarily fast. "Angel hurry up, I need to shower too" that, that is why I shower so fast, because my twin brother, Kai does not know what patients is. hoping out of the shower raping my hair and body in a towel, then I unlock the door. "Jeez could you take any longer" Kai said "oh Kai, my five minutes I spend in the shower is nothing compared to the half an hour you spend" I replied while walking into my room across the hallway, closing my door I hear a "fuck you" to my reply. Unbelievably from that interaction, my brother is my best friend, we have only grown close over the last couple of years, when we were younger it was simply different, he was a boy into ninja turtles and trucks, and I was a girl into barbies and Bratz. but we have grown and now I would not know what to do without him. glances at the clock, I realize I need to hurry up. rushing to my closet, I pick out a simple outfit, an oversize tee shirt that I stole from my brother's room, black denim shorts, and paired it with black platform high-top converses. walking over to my desk, I decided to straighten my long chestnut brown hair, even though it will be back to wavy by the end of the day; should put some effort in for the first day. once done with that I apply a bit of makeup, nothing too dramatic, I am not much of a makeup person anyway.

walking downstairs, greeted by the smell of my mom's waffles. my mom is another person I could not live without, she is the absolute rock of our family, I go to her for everything, and she is nothing but supportive. "Morning mom," I say walking into the kitchen, "morning Hun, how you sleep? I thought I would cook you breakfast this morning; you know being the last first day" my mom replied excitedly. "Thanks mum, I slept well, wish I didn't have to get up so early". my family and I are not morning people at all, besides my dad, who works morning shifts; he is always awake early. "Mom, do I really have to go, it's that early" my little sister Riley asked. Riley and I are not so close, I do love her, and I will always protect her no matter what, she just gets on my nerves most of the time.

Leaving the house was a hassle, mum wanted multiple photos, even wanted us to recreate one from when we were little. Once we escaped, I hopped in the silver Audi A3 along with my sister, my brother got into his Gray Mazda rx5. Now I know you are thinking, why do not we go to school in the same car, Kai is going to pick up his girlfriend Bianca up on the other side of town, and honestly a girl just wants to get to school.

Pulling into the school carpark, it is like Riley could not get out of the car fast enough, I think she got out before I even parked the car. Shaking my head, I climb out the front seat, grab my bag and start the walk up to Brooks High. Open the doors, I realise nothing has changed, yes, I am a senior now, but I was still plain old boring me. I considered myself to be an average student, I was not an A student, but I definitely was not failing, I played sports but again average, I was not popular, but I was invisible like I said, I was average. pushing my way through the crowd trying the find your locker on the first day of school was the hardest mission any 5'1 person has ever faced. finding my locker, I turned to the left and meet with the sight of my best friend Paisley shoving her tongue down her boyfriend, Tim's throat. Paisley has been my best friend since the sixth grade, nothing can end our friendship. I cleared my throat, catching both of their attention, "AHHHH, I've missed you, I'm so so so sorry we didn't see each other this summer, I was just so busy" Paisley says while hugging me, I just smiled and hugged her back. the thing about Paisley is she is an incredibly good friend but besides school, we barely see her; all her time is dedicated to Tim. "I can't even with some people, they don't have a clue on how to dress" Sam says while walking up to us looking around in disgust. Sam was my other best friend, we had become friends in the fourth grade after I dropped my lunch on the floor and she gave me half of hers, we seem to have fallen outs often but we always find our way back to each other. "Or Sam maybe the issue is that you dress up too much" Paisley replied, she was not wrong, Sam had showed up to school today in red mini dress and heels with a Prada backpack, for school, public school. before I could continue the conversation, the bell for first period ran, I said my farewells to my friends and headed to my first class. 

Walking past different friend group and couples, I could not help but question why anyone gets into a relationship in high school. None of their relationships are going to last, it is just pointless heartbreak if you ask me. I will not get into a relationship till I am done with university. the walk to history seemed forever, just as I round the corner to the classroom, someone not only knocks me over but spills their coffee on me. looking up in a rage, I am meet with chocolate brown eyes.
