I wake up to the most annoying sound in the universe, my alarm clock. Ugh.

I was a little bummed that we didn't get to go to the lake yesterday, but there's always another day.

It was 4:00 A.M. sharp so I get out of my bed and change into a sports bra and spandex shorts. I get my equipment and head to the basement. I haven't done this in a while, so I have a lot of energy to release. I was more than slightly excited as I opened the basement door and head over to the yoga mat to stretch. After that, I walk over to the speed bag . I bounce on the balls of my feet a few times before hitting it with my right hand then left and repeating for around 10 minutes. I head over to my worn out punching bag and start. I send one punch after another; I know I should've put on gloves or wrapped my knuckles, but I just couldn't wait. I have too much stress in my life to wait for simple things like this, even though I know I'll regret it later. After two hours of punching and kicking, I was satisfied.

I went to the deep freezer to get an ice pack because my knuckles were split and a little swollen. I used medical tape to get it to stay in place. I've been doing this since I was young. Boxing. At first it  was just for fun because it seemed exciting, but now I can't live without it.

I go to my room and pick my outfit; a black tight crop top, my high waisted skater skirt, thigh high socks, and my favorite black creepers. I know I know, it's a lot, but you never get a second chance to make a first impression. After that I went to the bathroom and took a shower. I decided to let my hair down, then I threw on my leather jacket, got my stuff, and went to the kitchen. I found a plate of chocolate chip muffins with a note on one of them.

Good morning honey,
Your father and I are gone to work and your brother went back to campus. Your car keys are on the table by the door along with the house keys and your car is in the garage. Good luck in school!
Love
Mom xoxo

I grabbed two muffins and a Gatorade before heading to my car. I used my GPS to find my way to the school since I've never been there. As I pulled up, I saw a good sized school building with a huge rock next to it that had the words Ever Green High painted on it. I was quite early so I parked up front and made my way to the office.

I got in and was immediately greeted with the smell of new furniture and cat food. There was an old lady with salt and pepper hair pulled into a neat bun behind a huge desk. She looked up and waved me over.
"I'm guessing you're the new girl." She says as more of a statement than a question. " Yeah that would be me." I replied.
She handed me a folder with my schedule, my locker and its combination, and a map of the school.

I went to my locker and looked at my schedule. I have Art class first. I internally do a happy dance and quickly walked to class, as people were staring to arrive.

504... 506... 508... 509! It took me a while, but I finally found the art room. I walk in to see a woman, most likely middle aged, with short blonde hair and bright green eyes. She had a navy blue apron, covered with paint splatters. She looks up at me as I sit down near the back.
"Hello dear, I'm Ms. Sanderson, but you can call me Ms. S." she says with a warm smile.
"I'm Eden." I say.
Ms. S went back to work as I sat at an empty table. She told me to feel free to use any equipment in the art room since I got here so early.

I pulled out my sketchbook and my pencil and continued the drawing I've been working on for about two months now. It was a drawing of me with my best friend Valerie.

Valerie and I were friends since day one. Technically before, since our mothers knew each other and were pregnant at the same time. She was also my neighbor. We were basically twins even; she slept over at my house and I hers, we share a birthday, we get in fights, but we make up within 5 minutes, and my family treated her as exactly that. Family. She grew up without a father, and I grew up without my parents, them being busy with work. We would have play dates since we were 5 months.

To say the least,  Valerie was my life. She always kept me going, and I miss her so much it hurts. I would basically have to write 'I MISS YOU' on a rock and throw it at her face to show her just how much.

The drawing is of us, on our 15th birthday, sharing an ice cream cone, because her a dog ate hers. It was the best birthday I've ever had in my entire life.

As I was drawing, I noticed that a girl was watching me like I have a third eye. I quickly put away my sketchbook and looked up at her. She has long dark hair and fair yet tan skin. She has a roundish face with plump pink lips and a button nose. She was shorter than me, but had a nice figure; soft curves in all the right places, but still slim. She was gorgeous.

"Hey, my name is Sarah." She says putting her hand out for me to shake. I shook her hand and introduced myself.
"You are SO good at drawing," she says " and sorry if this sounds a little creepy but you're hot." She says "I'm straight though," she adds, "I have a boyfriend. Just over there actually." She says, pointing at a tall guy with blonde hair. He notices her and makes his way over to us. "This is my boyfriend Aiden, and Aiden, this is my new best friend Eden." She giggles lightly, "your names are basically the same." She adds. Aiden and I shake hands and they sit down next to me.

"So, how long have you guys been dating?" I ask, curious,
"Actually, next month will be our three year anniversary." Aiden says proudly, kissing his girlfriend's cheek.
I struggle to keep my mouth closed at that and eventually let my jaw drop.

"Wow." Is all I can say.
"Yeah, I know." Sarah adds.

We get to know each other for a while and they invite me to sit with them at lunch. I agree and soon enough, the bell rings. I head over to my next class, Precalculus. I don't like math that much, but I'm great at it so my parents push me to take higher courses. I quickly rush to my class and sit at the back. Everyone files in and I see Rebecca walk in and she sits diagonally to me.
"So how was your day so far?" She asks with a smile.
"Not as bad as I expected," I say with a nod, "I actually made some new friends." I say smiling.

The bell rings and the teacher walks in.
"Good morning class, I believe we have a new student here today." He says scanning the room until he saw me. He beckons me to the front of the room and tells me to introduce myself.
"Hi. I'm Eden and I recently moved here from California." I say rushing back to my seat. I earn a few skeptical glances.
Good job Eden, you had to weird them out with your fidgeting.
Shut up conscious.

This is going to be a very long class.
