Destined for Love

One

Thursday 9 pm.

My eyes are heavy. I've written 2 essays for English. I follow my feet to my dresser, change into my soft care bear pajamas, and set my phone on the nightstand aside from my pink rock lamp.

My walls are a Sage-like green matched with my floors which is a delicate grey fluffed carpet.

Photos of me, Raven, and Mel are taped to my closet doors. Next to it is a big Bay window seat. A beautiful old-timey vanity right next to it.

My dresser sits on the opposite side. A bookcase hangs above, filled with all my beloved (and very worn) romance novels.

I climb into my queen-sized bed and get comfy into my sheets ready to dive deep into my slumber. I normally don't fall asleep until 11 but I give myself the benefit of the doubt tonight and get ready for bed early.

"Buzz buzz", "BUZZ BUZZ" I turn back over snatching my phone from the charger "Rav" it reads. I let out a dramatic huff before answering.

"What's so important is that you've just disturbed my sleep, Raven" Tiredness is obvious in my voice. I still give her my best at sarcasm.

"First of all, Katherine your sleep schedule is utter shit and second I'm going to be late to school tomorrow. That being said you will have to carpool with Draven and the boys" she nags. Draven is her twin brother.

"How could you do this to me? Why oh why Rav" I fake cry. "I'll see you after 2nd period, weirdo. Good luck with that beauty sleep. Love you".

Beauty sleep won't be enough for what I'll have to endure in the morning. "Love you too Rav" I hang up the phone and roll back over.
Sleep takes over quickly.

The clock goes off and I groan loudly before turning it off. Rolling out of bed I walk to my closet. I look at my phone and see "7:03" written across it "shit" I mutter.

I'm going to be late. I grab a simple blue zip-up jacket and a white tank, and putting them on quickly I grab a matching mini blue skirt and my doc boots.

Of course just as I get my shoes on I hear Draven laying on their horn in the driveway. Before even getting to brush my hair I rush down the stairs to the car.

"Took you long enough" I hear a familiar voice groan from the backseat as I walk down the drive. Corbin.

The biggest player known to man or maybe just my high school. Regardless he's been with basically every girl in school and has taken every opportunity to pick on me since the day I first met him. Which I believe was through Draven.

It's also how I met Vincent who's sitting in the front seat. I throw my bag on the seat and hastily throw my curly auburn hair into a messy bun.

Getting out of the car I thank Draven and begin my walk to my most dreaded class. Math. "Your hair looks nice put up" I hear Corbin say next to me.

"Don't you have somewhere to skip off to?" I ignore my need to question his comment."Not today" he answers before disappearing down the hallway.

"What was that about?" My best friend Mel says as she skips up next to me. "No idea, whatever it was I'm sure it was just another thing that was meant to get under my skin" We walk into our class and sit our stuff down.
