Chapter 1

1

It was always chilly in the morning. It was as if my parents didn't like the heat. It's amazing that it's cold knowing that we live in California and all. I always thought that was strange. I sat up in bed and looked around my dark room. I looked to my clock to see it said 6: 30. Why is it so dark if its morning? Who cares. I quietly slipped out of bed and walked towards my door. I threw it open and peaked down the hall. In one swift motion, I ran quickly but silently down the hall and into the kitchen. Once I made it there, I opened the fridge and began rustling around for food. Nothing. When was the last time my mother shopped for food? Try 5 years . I closed the fridge and turned around quickly.
" Why do you do that?!" I exclaimed.
Out of the shadows Malcolm (best guy friend) appeared in black jeans and a black t-shirt. He looked like a greaser from the 50's. He loves to scare the mess out of me. It's his specialty.
" I came to pick you up for school." he said quietly.
" Well, I'm not ready yet." I said. " How did you get in here anyway?"
" Your parents are stupid enough to leave a key under the mat." he said stepping back to give me space. " That method is so old."
" I know, they are pretty stupid." I said grabbing an apple. " Are you cold?"
" No."
" Your never cold, why is that?" I asked.
" Because my blood is cold." he said.
" Your blood is not cold." I said smiling frivolously. " You just have a very dark secretive side to you."
" I do?" he asked a smile appearing on his face.
" Yes, yes you do." I said walking back up the hall. Even though his steps are quiet, I could still hear him following me. " What are you doing?"
" I have to pee." he said. " Took me fifteen minutes to get here. Then another fifteen to get in. Your parents really have this place caged up."
" Maybe that's why they keep the key under the mat." I joked. " Their not expecting any visitors."
" Yeah maybe." he said. I walked back into my room and I dressed quickly then headed back for the kitchen.
" Aren't you going to wait for your parents to wake up?" Malcolm asked.
" No, just leave them be." I said. " Their always rotten in the morning."
" Ok." he said following me out the door. I pressed in the code to open the gates so we could leave. I grabbed my backpack and flung it on one shoulder. I heard Malcolm's skateboard roll down the driveway and shoot right past me.
" You should get one." he said. " We would get to school faster."
" Why don't you give me yours then I can leave you behind?" I joked.
" Your funny, that's why I'm gonna leave you." he said going faster now. I laughed then crossed the street. By the time I got to the center of the street, a car skidded down fast.
" Alex watch out!" Malcolm called to me. I turned to see it and just froze in my tracks. I couldn't think, all I did was watch. Then the car instantly stopped.
With me frozen in the street, a boy about my age jumped out of the car. He kept screaming I'm sorry, I'm so sorry. I still just stared saying nothing. Malcolm ran up to me. The guy grabbed me by the shoulders and looked me in the eyes.
" Are you ok?" he asked. Malcolm pushed him off me and hugged me tight.
" What is your problem dude?!" Malcolm yelled and the guy brushed his hands through his hair.
" It wasn't me, it was my driver." he said. Soon the driver got out and three other boys piled out of the car. While I...I was still frozen with fear that I just had a near death experience.
" Alex, talk to me." Malcolm said softly but in a worried tone. I looked at him then my lips parted.
" I'm ok." I finally managed to say.
" You still look like your in shock." Malcolm said.
" Well why wouldn't I be, I just nearly got hit by a car!" I screamed at him mad that he didn't understand the situation. But I knew he cared. I was just petrified at what had just happened. " I'm ok, really." I said to the boy.
" What's your name?" he asked me.
" What's yours?" I asked back.
" I'm Jacob, or better known as Princeton." he said.
" Why are you better known as Princeton?" I asked.
" Because I'm in the group called Mindless Behavior." he said. " We were on our way to our hotel."
" I've never heard of you." I said turning to continue walking to school. I didn't mean for it to sound harsh but, that's just how it came out. I really have never heard of them.
" Really?" he asked.
" Really." I said. " That's ok. I'm not going to press charges or anything just forget it ok."
" Well I would hope not." he said. " Can I give you a ride to school?"
" With your driver? I wouldn't even in hell." I said leaning on one hip. " I suggest you get another driver before you find yourself dead on the street."
" I'll look into it." he said chuckling a little. " Actually, I think we'll walk now. Hey Sam! We're gonna walk to the hotel. It's not that much farther."
The driver nodded.
" What?" one of the other boys said. " I don't wanna walk."
" Lazy ass." Jacob said. " We're walking. Shall we?" he gestured out his hand for me to go on.
" Um, no. You can walk, but we're not walking together." I said. " I don't even know you."
" Let's go, we're going to be late for school." Malcolm said.
" Yeah, your right." I said continuing to walk.
" Ok, then I'll see you two around!" I heard Jacob call at us. Talk about weirdo....
