ANGEL IN DISGUISE

First Incounter

Ch. 1 First Incounter

" Emma ....wake up it's time for school." I hear my guardian say at my door.

" Ugh...,school ....wonderful." I groan and put the pillows and comforter over my head. The sun isn't even out yet for crying out loud!

" Get Up, EMMA!", You don't want to be late for your first day of being a senior do you?!" he says jokingly through the door.

Oh boy, the first day of being a senior, and like all the times before my guardian seems thrilled about it. Except this time I can drive myself, which should mean I could sleep a little later. I turn to look at my clock 6:30 am, oh wonderful twenty mintues to get ready.

" EMMA!" he bangs.

" I'm UP." I finally say before he bangs my door down and comes through to really get me up out of bed. Suddenly, my cell phone goes off. I pick it up " BEEP!" Ugh okay this is going to get annoying the only reason why I got the phone was so my guardian wouldn't freak out if I was home a little late. Now it is starting to be a real pain. I open the message, of course it would be the only person I could never be mad at, my best friend Ash.

" Are you FREAKING kidding me. You are so not up yet are you?? OMG you are going to be LATE as our first day of seniors! Get your BUTT OUT OF BED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

After I scrolled down the five thousand exclamation points, I text her back I am on my way and make notes to put my cell on silent next time.

I toss the comforter over and throw my pillows on top as I get ready. I look around for some clothes and decide to wear my neon green Free Spirit T-shirt and some white cut off shorts. I look around for some shoes and see my converse thrown in a corner next to my closet. I slide them on and then look in the mirror. Since I don't have a lot of time on my hands, I decide to just brush my blonde hair and let it stay wavy. When I am done with that I put a little bit of eyeliner on and some green eye shadow to match my top. I stare at my refelction in the mirror for a little while until I think I look decent enough for school.

I look at my clock, and with only minutes to spare I grab my keys and head towards the door, but it isn't fast enough. There holding a camera to my horror stricken face is my guardian.

" You know Brandy wants a picture of you, with you being able to drive to school now and being a senior, so give me that pretty smile!" he laughs at the look of shock and horror on my face.

" You know Brandy would hate it if I didn't get a picture. " he adds.

I give the best fake smile I can and jump towards the door, run to my car, and lock the doors, praying Brandy and Scott won't find another torture method for humiliation.

After several mintues of waiting for doom, I start the car and head towards the school. I listen to the radio as I drive and it feels like no time before I see the place I will be spending my last year at. Willow High. Population 3,467, counting me 8. You would barely be able to tell it is a school with all the trees and trails, the small roads barely visible to the ongoing life around it, only to find behind these woods, as magical as they may seem, a place full of judgement and ridicule. Well at least it is my last year....finally.

Well like I said before this place has it's good and peaceful times, that is until everyone enters the parking lot. Suddenly, my best friend Ash is right behind me parking her car and waving for me to come on. Normally I drive her, but today I was running late so now I am going to have to hear how she was stranded to deal with driving and talking to herself. Wonderful.

I walk towards her " Guess what. " Ash says half way jogging to me.

" What?" I ask trying to lighten my mellowed out mood.
