Save Just One Life

Chapter 1

"I'm going now, dad" I yell as I get to the door and grab my jacket off the hook.

"Okay, make sure you're back by four so you can drive your mother and I to the air port" He yells back. I groan and pull the door open.

Why can't Jase drive them?

Jase is my brother. We're a few months a part in age and get on really well. Most of the time. I look completely different to Jase, unlike him I have long dark hair, a light dusting of freckles, stormy grey eyes and I am super skinny. He is skinny too but that is about the only similarity, he has blonde hair that sticks out all over the place, bright blue green eyes and he is quite short, for a guy, meaning we are about the same height. Jase is short for Jason by the way. I am his adopted sister, I was adopted into his family when I was three and I get along with him but not his parents, even though I call them mum and dad.

I hear a car hoot outside and pull the front door open. I wave at my two friends who have been waiting (very impatiently, I might add) for me for about five minutes.

"Hey Izzy! You know you and Paige didn't have to pick me up" I pull open the door of the back seat of my friend, Isabella's new car and jump in.

"Nah! We wouldn't leave ya!" Izzy turns to me. She always seems to have gum in her mouth. What's with that?

"Yeah, we definitely couldn't" Paige agrees. She has shoulder length light brown hair that is always perfect, braces, and she is also quite short. She is the opposite of Izzy. Izzy is tall with curly red hair that she very rarely has the time to straighten even though she hates it the way it is. When it is straightened though, it reaches a tiny bit past her waist which is the longest I have ever seen anyone's hair. Not straightened Izzy's hair is like a red cloud around her head. She also is covered in freckles and she is quite skinny. Paige and Izzy's attitudes are the complete opposite too: Paige is usually quite quiet, she is very hard working and one of the smartest people I know. Izzy doesn't care about her work, she has verbal diarrhea all the time and she is bubbly, energetic and great at sports.

I am thrown back against my seat as the car pulls out into the main road. Did I forget to mention that Izzy is crazy? Well she is.

"Izzy! You could have killed me!" I yell "I'm not even strapped in yet."

She smirks "Well pay attention then, Miss goodie goodie"

I roll my eyes and turn to my other best friend.

"How have you been, Paige?" I notice she has been grinning since I got in the car but when I ask her this she blushes. Looking down she replies.

"Oh, alright" she replies breezily.

"Paige, what aren't you telling me?" I reach forward and poke her, then notice Izzy smirking "What is it Izzy?"

"Oh, just something that happened to Paige yesterday evening" She grins and Paige blushes even more.

"Come on Paige! You can tell me anything, we're best friends. Besides, Izzy won't be able to keep quiet for ever"

"Uh" She bites her lip "CarsonaskedmeoutonadatelastnightwhenIsawhimatthewarehouse"
She says all that without taking a breath.

"What? Paige, I didn't get any of that"

She sighs "Carson asked me out on a date when I saw him at the warehouse"

"Paige that's great!" I shout, so loud that Izzy gets a fright and jerks the wheel to the left, almost hitting a dark green land rover driving in the opposite direction.

"Sorry!" She waves apologetically at the man in the passenger seat of the land rover as he flips us the finger "Fine then, be like that" Izzy mutters, pulling the finger at the retreating land rover behind us. I laugh. I told you she was crazy.
