I felt awake before I even opened my eyes. I hadn't had a nightmare in years!! I rejoiced in the feeling of not having to get up immediately to wash my face and calm myself down. I laid there peacefully, drifting in and out of sleep. 

"My luna," I heard. I groaned. Not this stupid thing again. 

"Leave me alone!!" I grumbled, slipping under the covers. 'Like that's gonna solve my problem' I thought. My mood went from happy to irritated almost instantly.

"It's time to wake up."  'Yeah, whatever' I thought. 

"You'll be late for school."   My eyes popped open and I let out a shriek. How the hell does this person know I go to school? What the hell. 

I sat up quickly and regretted it because I got a head spin. I put my feet down on the floor and stood up, but everything was in two's and the world was spinning. I fell to my knees. 'So not a good idea,' I thought to myself. 

Was it Gramps? I held my breath, but heard no signs of life in the house. I breathed a little, and when I got control, glanced at the clock. 7:15. Shit! I was gonna be late for the bus! It comes in 15 minutes! I jumped up and quickly grabbed whatever I could find out of my dresser. It happened to be a pair of plain denim jeans and a faded blue hoodie. 

On second thought, I grabbed Lucy's jumper she lent me the other day and shoved it in my backpack. I raced to the bathroom, changing and putting on my shoes. I brushed my hair, struggling on some nots and trying to find a hair tie. 'Ah screw it' I thought. I treaded down the stairs as quickly and quietly as I could. I didn't have time for breakfast anymore, glancing at the clock and seeing only a few minutes left until 7:30. I grabbed an apple out of the fridge and slung my bag over my shoulder.

I shut the front door and made my way out onto the side of the street. It had been raining last night, and there was a thick layer of water covering everything. The bus wasn't here yet, and I breathed in a couple of times. PHEW! I hardly ever wake up late. If I had've missed the bus, I would have been screwed. I looked up and down the street before staring at the house in front of me. It had trees out the front and a nice garden with lilies and roses, I think, in the garden opposite the walkway from the door. And there, on that pathway, stood........

Aiden. 

I choked, my eyes nearly popping out of my head. He looked handsome and king like as usual and had dark denim jeans on, but this time with a white shirt. He didn't have his black sunglasses like on Friday, but his black biker jacket was grasped in his hand. His luscious, shaggy blonde locks fell over his eyes and I had to stop myself from drooling. I thought he was rich, so why is he living in my estate!?

"Morning Sang!" he called out from across the road. I cringed, turning around to see if Gramps was already banging his way through the house and out to where I was standing for talking to me. Sometimes, I seriously thinks he want's me to be lonely for the rest of my miserable existence. 

I turned back around, grateful that he wasn't coming, and gave a shy wave in Aiden's direction. He frowned, and started making his way across the road and towards me. I started shaking my head and my hands out in front of me, trying to signal him to stop. He didn't, though. 'Stubborn-ass' I thought. 'You're going to get both of us killed.' 

He stopped at the ditch and smiled up at me. Even though I was standing on the ledge, he was still half a head taller than me. His crystal blue eyes were lightened, and his hair was ruffled like he didn't pay much attention to it in the morning.

"How are you?" he asked.
"Fine... thanks" I added. Can't forget my manners, now. "You live there?" I asked, pointing to the house across the road.
"Temporarily." Whoop there it is. I knew he didn't live there permanently. He's too rich to live in this estate. Although, the house was really pretty and was certainly well cared for, making it look 10 times better than what our house looked like.
