Twisted

Chapter One

The alarm blares into my ears, yanking me from my dreams. I reach and turn it off and stretch out of bed. My bathroom light blinds my tired eyes as I brush my teeth. I walk to my dresser, opening the messy drawers to hunt for clothes. I pull out my black ripped jeans, my white Nirvana t-shirt, and undergarments. I quickly change then go to my mirror and put my eyeliner on my top eyelid and mascara.

My cell phone buzzes and shows a text message from Chloe, I swipe the screen, reading and replying to her text, "Want to walk together?". I type 'Yes', click send, and put it in my back pocket. I grab my combat boots, bag, lanyard, and go to the kitchen.

"Morning sweetheart. How'd you sleep?" My dad smiles and sips his coffee.

"Fine. Can I walk to school with Chloe today?" I ask, grabbing a banana from the counter and peeling it open. He nods and continues reading the daily paper. I throw away the peel and peck my dad on the cheek before walking through the door and head to Chloe's house.

I push the doorbell and lean against the wall. Chloe opens the door and says goodbye to her family.

"Hey." I say, turning to start walking to school.

"Hi." She says, pulling out her phone.

"Who you talking to?"

"Brian. He's so sweet!" She squeals, pulling her phone to her chest.

"Yeah, I'm so jealous of you guys."

"Oh, hush! You will find someone soon enough!" She nudges me, playfully. She always says that. I sigh and trudge along to school.

We arrive at Lebanon High School, past other students, and into the school. As we walk to our lockers we pass Chloe's boyfriend, Brian.

"Hi baby!" She giggles and runs to him, jumping at him.

He catches her, "Hey babe." Then they start kissing. Just to make it clear, Chloe isn't my closest friend. But she likes to think she is. I gag as they makeout and turn to my locker. They finally stop and walk over to me.

"Hey Annabelle, Brian is having a party on Saturday. You should totally come with!" Chloe cheers.

"I uh.. I can't. I'll be busy." I lied.

She puts her hand on her hip, "Doing what?"

"Uh... Hanging out with my dad."

"I'm pretty sure you can do that later. C'mon, it'd be fun!" She whines and stamps her foot.

I don't like making people mad, so I said sure.

"Yay! We're gonna have so much fun!" She says in a high-pitched voice.

I let out a deep sigh and the bell rings. We say goodbye and go our separate ways. I walk to my second period, which is English. I squeeze through the other students, walk to the back of the class, and set my bag next to me. The bell rings for class to start and the teacher eagerly starts right away.

"Okay class, today we have a new student!" She smiles, "Dylan Dauzat, please stand up and introduce yourself." She motions her hand in his direction, and my eyes follow. The boy stands up, showing a very attractive guy. I stare at him for a little bit and listen to him talk.

"Hi, I'm Dylan." Oh my gosh his voice is so perfect! "I am a youtuber and I like-" I set my face in my hand and stare. His eyes meet mine and I quickly look away. He stutters for a second then continues, I look up to see his face become red. He finishes and quickly sits down.

It's been about a half hour of class and I've already finished all of my work and am reading my book called 'Divergent'. Yes, I'm sure you've heard about it. I just bought all of the books, including 'Four'. God, Tobias is so hot! Anyways, Dylan has already made friends in the class and has girls drooling at him. The bell rings and I shove my book in my bag and quickly head out of the class. Someone pushes me in attempt to catch up with his friends, making me stumble into someone.
