The President's Daughter

Chapter 1

Chapter 1:

I look at the mirror, combing my hair and tying it into a pony tail. I don't really like wearing make- up to school, but I do put lip gloss if that's even considered as make- up.

I slipped on my favorite yellow sundress and a pair of white sandals, normally I'd go for a pair of jeans and a shirt but it was hot outside and I'm feeling the summer weather.

I took my bag and went downstairs for breakfast.

"Good morning grandma!" I say as I kiss my grandma on the cheek. It was only her, me and my uncle in this house. My grandpa died two years ago and my uncle doesn't have a wife.

My grandma smiles at me, her blue eyes turning lighter. There was no doubt that we're related, I inherited my blonde hair and blue eyes from her but somehow my other facial features are different.

"I made pancakes honey, would you like a glass of milk?" she asks me with her kind and gentle voice.

"Sure" I tell her with a smile.

My grandma is the sweetest person alive, and my uncle was the most generous person ever but I know that they're keeping something from me.

They were the only family I know of, whenever I ask them what happened to my parents or where my parents are, they would always change the subject immediately.

Yes, I don't know where my parents are or if they're even alive. All my life, I lived with only my grandma and uncle taking care of me.

Sometimes, I get the feeling that I don't really know who I am... that my whole life might just be a lie, I have up trying to ask about my parents when I was 14 knowing that they won't answer me anyway.

Either way, I'm happy with them and they mean the world to me.

"You're uncle is waiting for you in the car" she informs me. My uncle worked as a gym teacher in my school, so I wake up an hour earlier than everyone else at school cause my uncle has to be there at 6 am.

I kissed my grandma and walked to the garage where my uncle always waits. As usual, he was cleaning his car, making it squeaky clean all the time. It always amuses me how much of a perfectionist he is, I mean for a guy that's quite rare.

"Oh there you are!" he says finally noticing me. He smiled at me and kissed my forehead.

"Lets go Jeremy, you wouldn't wanna be late for school" I tease him, he rolls his eyes and gets in the car. My uncle originally wanted to be a Science teacher, but the school principal thought he would be better to be as a gym teacher cause he was so fit and athletic.

Before we go to school, we pass by our neighbor's house cause they ride with us to school everyday. Our neighbors Mr and Mrs. Garcia are also teachers in my school, funny huh.

Like I said, my uncle was the most generous guy ever so when he found out that the Garcia's broke their car two months ago, he quickly offered them to ride with us temporarily.

"Good Morning! How are you in this very fine day?!" Mrs. Garcia aka my bubbly Spanish teacher, greets us. Her husband sits next to her and nods at us uncle in acknowledgement.

"We're very good, how bout you?" My uncle says politely.

"The sun is shining and the wind is blowing, who wouldn't be happy?" Mr. Garcia aka my Math teacher, says smiling a little.

Wow, everyone is in a good mood today.

We arrived in my school after 10 minutes, my uncle and the other teachers went straight to the teacher's lounge while I head to the library and wait for everyone to arrive.

I checked the time and it was only 6:30 am, school starts at 8. My best friend Melissa meets me here in an hour so I guess I'll just go read a book for a while.

I was about to pick up one of the books until I heard a loud thud.

That's weird... Nobody comes to the library this early, well except for our 60 year old librarian Mrs. Welch.

I looked around and found the cause of the sound, it was a guy accidentally dropping the box from the book shelf across from mine. He was bent down his back facing me and get stands up putting the book back.

Whew, I got worried for awhile there.

My heart started to raise when the guy faced me, it was Ethan Reed aka the shool's mysterious bad boy. Girls go gaga for him but he never seemed interested.

He was tall and lean and it was obvious that he works out. His jaw clenched when he saw me staring at him.

He must think I'm a creepy stalker now, but instead he gives me an acknowledging smile.

That's weird, we never really talked before. We had all classes together yet I will admit that this is the first time we took notice of each other's existence. Ok, maybe I'm exaggerating.

I nodded at him and got a random book and sat on the old couch beside the book shelf.

I saw Ethan walk towards me on the corner of my eye and I quickly opened the book I was holding pretending that I was reading.

"So I'm guessing you're one of those talented people who can read upside down" I hear him say, I looked at the book I was holding and see that the words were indeed upside down.

Well this is embarrassing!

I look at him trying to act confident.

"Well, maybe I am" I said smugly

"Maybe you're lying, cause I don't think you're the type who reads books about UFO's upside down" he answers me with the same smug tone I used.

"Well, I love UFO's and I read better upside down" I cross my arms as he sits beside me.

He laughs a little.

"I'm Ethan" he says putting out a hand

"I know" I say rolling my eyes

"I'm Alexandria, Alexa for short" I say shaking his hand

"I know" he says copying the tone of my voice.

I laugh at him, who knew this guy was so cool, I mean I didn't think he was uncool but I thought he was a snobbish type if guy.

"Ok so uhm... I have to go, do you mind giving me you're number?" he asks me. Oh my gosh, is he asking me out? He hands me his iPhone and I typed my 11 digit number on.

 It took a lot of courage for me to say this but what do I have to lose?

"Can I have you're number too?" I ask him smiling

"Sure" he quickly says as he sneakily took my phone and handed it back to me with his number.

"I'll see you later then" he winks at me and left the library.

Ok. What just happened?
