Chapter One
The sun seeped through my curtains and lit up my face. My eyes fluttered open and I gently lifted the curtain to the side, revealing the beautiful view of Cedar Wood. The forest to the left, mountains in the background, the lake to the right, my school in the distance. I loved having a window right next to my bed, it was magnificent. I stretched and slowly sat up. I reached over and took my photography camera from my desk and took some black and white photos of the lovely view. Satisfied, I placed my camera back on my desk and swung my legs out of bed. I smiled at the photo of me and Finn, the love of my life, sitting on the shelf above my bed. I gazed upon all the items on my shelf, Pokemon cards, photos, pins and my journal. I picked up my ring, bracelets and my locket and put them on. My infinity ring with 'Finn' and 'Tessa' engraved on it, my two bracelets, my Juicy Couture charm bracelet and my sewn rainbow homemade bracelet. Suddenly, I heard a squeak. I giggled as I watched Monty and Charlie, my hamsters, hanging upside down from the cage bars. I quickly topped up their water bottle and food bowl then gave them each a little stroke. I yawned and went downstairs for breakfast. "Morning beautiful." My dad joked. I looked to the left and saw my reflection in the mirror. My hair looked like a birds nest and my pyjama top was half tucked into my shorts. "Woah.." I stammered. My dad laughed as he watched me stumble onto a stool. "You drunk or something?" He laughed. I giggled then turned to face our private chef. "Hello Mr. Louisiana" I said respectfully. "What will it be on this lovely summers day, ma'am?" He asked me, "Bacon, sausage and hash browns?" I offered cheerily. He nodded and happily scuttled off into the kitchen.
I could smell the food well before I saw it. My mom came into the kitchen and grabbed a cup of coffee and a tub of fruit. "I'm late for work." She exclaimed as she kissed me and dad. "Bye!" Dad and I called. I listened to the door close and the car engine start, then Mr. Louisiana's footsteps. He lay the delicious breakfast in front of me. "Bon appetite!" He sang and I happily thanked him. I hungrily scoffed down the food and gulped down my orange juice. I turned to look at dad, hoping we had nothing planned today. "What shall we do today my sweet?" He said in a fake posh accent. I giggled at his accent then said "Well I was planning to do something with Finn. We'd just be in the den in my room on the roof." The den in my room is actually the attic which I turned into basically my second bedroom, complete with a sofa bed and wardrobe with extra clothes. The ladder leading up to the attic is is my room so you couldn't expect me to just leave it as a dusty boring attic. "Sure," dad replied before sipping his tea. "Gonna get ready!" I call as I ran upstairs. I run to my wardrobe, picking my outfit carefully. I end up choosing an blue Abercrombie T-shirt, rainbow tie dye shorts and navy high top converse. I keep my jewellery I put on this morning on and I glide on some eyeliner, mascara and lip balm. I pick up my iPhone and text Finn. 'Hey Finn I'm ready come up whenever <3' I tap the send button and place my phone in my pocket. I climb up the ladder and into the den. The den is a colourful creative room with paintings and art I've made, bookshelves full of novels, activity books, sketchbooks, nik-naks and notebooks. In a cabinet next to the window I have all my art supplies. Also, if you open the window you can climb onto the garage roof which is flat and comfortable. The sun hits it but the large oak tree shields it from the blinding rays. I sit on the couch and feel something round under the cushion. I slip my hand under and take it out. "My Hollister perfume?" I think. "What's it dong there?" I shrug and spray some on. At the moment the doorbell rings, my dad goes to answer it. I immediately hear Finn's sexy Irish voice fill the house and make my lips immediately turn into a huge grin. "She's in the den." I hear my dad say, followed by Finn's footsteps coming towards my room.
"Hey Tessa!" Finn exclaimed before pulling me into a tight hug. I leaned my head back a bit and kissed his lips. When I try to pull away from the kiss he pulls me right back in, and holds me there. I started to smile, I always do that when Finn kisses me; I smile during the kiss. Eventually he pulls away, he gazes into my eyes and I gaze into his. His multi-coloured eyes. One eye deep sapphire blue, the other fresh emerald green. I give his nose a little peck causing him to scrunch his nose up; also causing me to giggle. "Hi." I whisper. "How's it going... Finn?"
