Love Me Or Hate Me

~Chapter 1~

My alarm clock on my phone was going off. I checked the time 7:25AM. Urgh great now I have to wake up early just because of school starting. I groaned while debating whether I should have a few more minutes sleep. Just as I was about to lie down the door opened and a little boy with brown tousled hair walked in, in other words my 4 year old brother. 

"El mummy says get up" he said while looking at me with his big blue eyes. Yep his blue eyes can trick you into doing anything be aware of that. I groaned and lied down anyway. 

"Elllll get up, get up, get up" he says louder while jumping on my bed, I don't even know how he got there but then again I am sleepy.

"Urghh fine Jack, I'll get up when you get off of me" I say while shoving him off the bed.

"Fine El but mummy will shout at you if you don't get up now" he whispers at me, like its a secret. That's what I love about my brother even if he is four he cares and does not act like a spoilt child. 

"Okay Jack I'm coming" I ruffle his hair just before he walks out of the room. Great now its 7:40. I walk into my en suite bathroom, yes I have my own bathroom, and yes  our house may be a bit larger than a reasonable size, but that's just because one of my parents is a doctor, the other a lawyer.  We may have a big house but that doesn't mean anything, because I hardly see my parents around the house. I know they want to spend more time with us as well, and they try too but it never really happens on a regular basis. If anything I wish my parents had a more simpler job where I could see them more often. I am grateful though for what they have done for me and Jack. 

After I had a shower, I am now looking through my wardrobe for something to wear, it is my senior year after all.  I put on some shorts and a simple HERO baggy T-shirt, I comb my light brown hair and let it fall to my waist. I put on some light makeup just to make me look less tired. Once I finished everything I grabbed my bag and walked downstairs, and into the kitchen. I look around and see my mum making pancakes and Jack sitting on the Island. Dad must of already went to work.

"Morning Mum" I said while taking a seat opposite Jack on the Island. 

"Morning El, how was your sleep?" she asked me with a smile. That's something I liked about my mum she would always smile and understand me. 

"Good I guess, well before Jack came in" I said while sending a play full glare at Jack, who was eating a pancake with his mouth full.

"Well someone had to wake you up, its your first day of senior year and you don't want to be late for that." She said sternly with a play full glare. While walking up to me and giving me my pancakes. 

"Thanks Mom, and I don't really care, I just wish the summer lasted longer" I said while finishing of my pancakes and putting the plate in the sink.  I grab my bag and checked the time. 8:00.  Great, i'm just going to be 15 minutes early, I knew I should have had that extra minute sleep.

"See ya later Mom," I said whilst walking to the front door. 

"Bye Jack" 

"Bye El" They both said simultaneously as I closed the front door. I walked outside into the Californian weather, with the sun blazing above me as I walked down the streets getting closer to school. I hope this year is going to go well, after all it is my last year of high school so I'm going to make the most of it. I've changed I'm not what I used to be, and I definitely won't let anyone walk all over me like what happened in 9th grade. I definitely will not let anyone like Cayden bully me about anything, to do with my personal features. It may have been 2 years since he bullied me a lot about my weight and I definitely have lost a lot of weight since then, but I still cannot get this uneasy feeling in the pit of my stomach which still makes me fear that it could happen again.

But it won't happen again, I am stronger now and Cayden isn't here anymore. 

Yes, Cayden isn't here anymore so nothing to fear. I push that thought to the back of my head as I walk into the school gates looking for my two best friends. I go to sit on the usual bench. 

They must not be here yet, I guess I am early.

Just as I am about to look around the school grounds I feel to pairs of hands jump onto  my back. I immediately jump up and let a shriek.

"Arghh you two had to do that" I give them a glare but a smile is coming through as I pull them both into a hug. I

"I missed you El"  Zane says as he fake cries over my shoulder. 

"No I missed you more El" Taylor says as she hugs me tightly.

I flick my hair over my shoulder  "Wow I know I'm amazing, and it makes me even happier to know that my two so called best friends fight over me" I say smirking at them 

"Wow your ego's grown over the summer El" Zane says with a smirk on his face.

"OHH I'll pretend I didn't hear that" 

"I can say it again if you want" Zane says again 

"Well then- "

"Listen guys I don't know about you but I think we should got to our lockers the bell is going to go any second" Taylor says interrupting our rant. 

We both agree with Taylor and get up off the bench and walk towards our lockers. I don't know what I'd do without these two, they've helped me through a lot and we've known each other for years. Taylor has long blond hair that reaches her waist, she has big blue eyes that stand out like my brothers, and has an extremely nice body which she gets a lot of attention to even though she doesn't acknowledge it.  

Zane has dark short brown hair that goes really well with his green eyes. He is quite popular in school because of his good looks and nice body, people who don't know him consider him as a player but people like me know that, that rumour is totally wrong.  All  three of us  have our quarrels and most people think us weird, well what can I say I'm not weird but unique.

I put some things in my locker and started walking to register room, I turned around too quickly and bumped into someone, which resulted in me falling to the floor. As I got up I heard a male voice chuckling. 

"Wow I just arrived back here and I already have girls falling for me" he paused "literally" 

I looked up and there stood the blond haired boy with blue eyes and a smirk,  that has haunted me for years with fear. Now that I finally overcame that he had to return. 

The feeling in the pit of my stomach was right because right in front of me stood the boy who I had feared for a whole year. 

In front of me stood the one and only Cayden Hayes.
