Lots of banging and tapping came from downstairs, making me turn and toss in my bed. I decided that putting a pillow over my head would help, but it really didn't. Finally I got up since I was not going to get much sleep with this racket.

I walked - well slowly dragged myself to the bathroom - and washed my face. I brushed my teeth, combed my hair and then took a long, loooong shower. Eventually I got out and dried myself and then went downstairs.

When I got to the kitchen I was surprised. Christian was standing near the counter trying to get the egg yolk and egg white out of the egg. He had a spatula in one hand and the egg in the other. Chris turned to me as I advanced towards the counter.

"Are you okay?" I asked with a confused expression, placing my hand on his forehead. I mean, he never step inside the kitchen unless he wanted something to eat.

"Good morning, Lana. And yes, I am okay." Why do you ask?" He replied, smiling.
Ooooooooookay.....

"You are trying to cook... or am I dreaming?"

"Thought I'd make you breakfast." He answered.

I eyed hin trying to break the egg and grabbed the egg from him. "I'll help." I offered, more like ordered. I didn't want to ruin the poor guy's self-confidence and at the same time, I didn't want him to burn the house down.

"No help needed. You just sit and relax and watch the pro." He smirked as if he was doing a great job.

"Puh-lease. You can even break the egg open. I'll help." I scoffed.

"Fine..." Christian gave in.

"No problemo." I said as I cracked the egg and poured the egg white and yolk into the bowl. I looked to my side to see Christian gaping as if cracking an egg was rocket science.

"What did you do? I was trying to do the exact same thing for the last 15 minutes. My achievements are in the trash." He said as he pointed to the garbage bin.

"I was about to drill a hole through this. Thanks..." He continued, mumbling.

I laughed at him, he was pretty smart but at the same time so stupid. I shook my head at his idotic sense.

"Don't you usually leave by 6?" I asked.

"Yeah, but like I said... I wanted to make you breakfast." Christian replied.

"And why....?" I asked confused.

"It's not a crime for a brother to make his sister breakfast. Seriously... I wanted to make it up to you for not being their for you even when you are there for me,"

"Chris, you don't hav--" I was interrupted by Christian.

"Just listen Alana... Yesterday, you made me realize how much I am missing life, missing my family. I do care and worry about you and dad. I know I haven't been here for you, but things are gonna change now. I want you to understand that." He said with a genuine smile.

I was speechless and nearly cried but that was put aside when he took a hand full of flour and threw it at me. And before I knew it I was covered in flour.

I was in rush for school... I was watching T.V while eating my breakfast that I forgot the time. I was already changed and made my way downstairs. Rushing to the bus stop, I took out the fare amount and slipped the money into my pocket.

Phew! I made it just in time because I could see the bus making its way towards the stop. I got in and made my way to the back since there were no empty seats in the front.

As soon as the bus reached the next stop, a whole crowd of the populars rushed in. And amongst them I caught a glimpse of Noah. Wait didn't he own a car??! And soon enough my question was answered.

"What's up Noah, my man? Where's yah beauty?" A voice yelled from a few seats from me, the guy's voice was enough to make a deaf man deaf. "Nothing much man. She has engine problems." Noah replied, his eyes traveling the seats and resting on me for a milisecond before taking a seat by his friends. For a second I thought that they were talking about some girl.

I was busy reading 'Lord of the Flies' when I was rudely interrupted by a girl. Looking up from my book I saw a very irritated Destiny standing by my seat. "Move over, idiot." She ordered and like the innocent, goody-two-shoes I was, I moved over a seat so she could sit next to the populars.

I was about to turn the page of my book when Destiny's over-sized purse knocked it off from my lap. As soon as I was about to grab it, a dirty blonde guy took it and read the title before putting on an impressed face.

"Good book." He said before handing it to me. "Cole. So you coming?" Asked a voice and the guy turned away. "Yea." He replied. Cole. I looked up to be met with Noah's piercing glare. I cleared my throat before fiddling with my hands.
