Chapter 1

Becky's POV

The alarm buzzes. I reach out to hit it but end up falling out of bed.
"Fuck me," I whisper to myself. "Clumsy me. Great way to start off the day,".

Then it dawns on me. Today's the first day of Sophomore year. And I'm new. That's gonna be great. Everyone staring at me. So fun!

I rub my eyes and stretch before I head downstairs. I can already smell the pancakes cooking. I sigh as I sit down at the table. My dog Cooper comes to greet me.

"Hey baby," I say as I pet him. His tail starts to shake causing hair to fly everywhere. I sneeze.

"Thanks for cooking today Carter, I promise I'll do it soon," I say as he places the pancakes down in front of me.

As I submerge my pancakes in syrup and start gobbling them up.
"Perfection as usual," I say cheery.
"Thanks Becks," my brother says as I get up.

I start to get ready. I turn on the shower, the light pattering of the water against the tile is soothing. Once it's the right temperature I get in. I sigh as the warm water hits my skin. As usual I shampoo and condition my hair and Wash my body.

Once I get out I ring out my hair and wrap the towel around my body, I put on an oversized shirt from one of my favorite bands: Ajr, and I put on some jean shorts.

I pull over my hoodie, grab my bag and head out the door. Once I got out of the door the smell of freshly mowed grass greeted me. It was of course fresh, kinda sweet and sharp. I love freshly mowed grass.

On the way to my bus stop I run into something hard. I almost fall backwards but someone catches me. Yes properly catches me, like fairy tale dance, dip kinda catch.

I look up to see a guy about 6'4, with curly brown hair, a chiseled jaw, and gorgeous green eyes. We just kinda stared at each other. Nobody moving frozen in time. I clear my throat and get up, shaking my head.

"Sorry about that I...I...," I say but him staring at me is kinda intimidating. I look down at my feet.
"I should have been watching where I was going," I say. Just as he's about to respond his friends call him over.

Great. I probably made the impression that I'm a clumsy idiot that can't even catch herself when she's about to fucking fall.

I wait at the bus stop just scrolling through my insta and snap. I put in one of my earbuds and turn on my music. The song "Bang," by Ajr, comes on.

By the time the bus comes I already want to go home. I've been here for 5 minutes already. Can I go home now. But I know what mom would say if she was here "the best way to get over something is to try it". I wish she was here to tell me what to do, but alas she's not.

"This is when it begins" I think as I roll my eyes. The bus comes barreling down the hill.

Hey guys so this is my very first book so sorry if it's not great. I'm learning so give me time and hopefully by the end I'll be better. If y'all have any pointers I would love to hear them and sorry this chapter is kinda short I just wanted to introduce the character.
