Ambers POV
"Amber wake up" I heard my older brother Dean say "you have to get ready for school or I'm leaving without you" I sat up and threw my feet to the floor, I felt my necklace bounce against my chest. I thought to myself
'this damn necklace bugs the hell out of me' even though Dean has told me all about it, how I must keep it on and under no circumstances I take it off. I pulled myself out of my thoughts and walked to my closet, pulling out a pair of skinny jeans, a tank top and a plaid button up shirt.
I went to my vanity and did my make up. Priming, contouring, concealing and putting on foundation. I blended it all together and went for a nude eyeshadow and I did a sharp wing with eyeliner. I quickly grabbed my bag and ran downstairs to put on shoes. Just as I finished tying my shoe Dean walked out of the kitchen
"Ready?"
"I guess" I sighed. I hated school more than anything, but i sucked it up and started walking out to deans truck. An old S-10 pickup truck. I looked down and saw my necklace, it's a really weird shape, it's hard to describe, it looks like half of an ancient symbol
"So I'm guessing you don't think your charm is so dumb now?" Dean laughed, as he put the key in the ignition
"Shut up Dean, it's stupid people are literally letting a piece of metal tell them who they are supposed to be with." I sighed. Dean always told me to never loose the damn thing. He met his 'soul mate' when he was about 14, but she had died in a car crash with her parents; no survivors. Dean threw the necklace in the ocean, he says it was 'the biggest mistake of his life'
My parents were buried with their necklaces. We lost our mother to cancer and my father in Iraq.

Dean was held back for two years, so he is a 18 year old in 10th grade.
I'm 14 and I'm in eighth.
We pulled up to the school, got out of the car and walked to the brick building.  Dean and I parted and I went to my locker. Unfortunately I had a bottom locker, with the cockiest kid in eighth grade above me; his name is Nate
I looked around and he was no where to be found so I quickly opened my locker just for him to come up behind me two seconds later and say
"Oh Amber, always on your knees for me" I could hear the smirk on his face.
"Fuck off" I mumbled under my breath. I stood up,trying to seem intimidating but I don't think a 5'5 girl is very scary to a 5'11 football player.
"You don't scare anyone, you're like five feet tall, the only thing intimidating about you is your brother. What's his name again?" He asked
"Dean"
"Yeah, he wouldn't let anything happen to you" he scoffed. I walked away from the lockers and into my homeroom class. I sat at my desk on my phone.
I heard my teachers heels click against the ground and that was my warning to put my phone away. The second the door closed, the bell rang.
"Okay class, my name is Mrs. Wolfe" she started "First of all let's go over the rules. Don't be late. No phones." She only had two rules so, she might be a cool teacher.
"And class," she started again "when the bell rings go to your first period class."  With her last words the bell rang.

Fast forward

I walked into the lunch room and saw my brother at a table with his friend Cody, I walked over to them
"Hey, where's your food" Cody asked me
"School food is disgusting"
"She's gotta point" Dean popped in.
I looked around for anyone I knew, I have two friends, both guys. Their names are Drew and Austin. But they always skip classes so I don't see them a lot. I kept looking around the big room and i spotted Nate. He was staring at me. I was extremely uncomfortable
"You okay?" Cody asked me
"Uh, yeah" I responded
"Amber your such a liar." Dean started "Cody she's either into a guy or a guy is making her uncomfortable" Dean finished with a smirk. I won't lie Cody and Dean  are like overprotective brothers sometimes. They started looking around and eventually saw Nate staring at me.
"It's Nate isn't it?" Dean whispered
"Who's Nate?" Cody asked
"He's the dumbass who has the locker above mine and no Dean he's so fucking immature" I sighed
"Then Nate is making you uneasy" Dean said
"Yes Dean, he says some dumb shit before homeroom and he's fucking staring at me" I scoffed
"What did he say that was so bad"
Cody asked
"Just dumb shit" I stood up and went back to class because my classroom was on the other side of the building and I only have 4 minutes to get there.
"Hey Amber!" I heard from behind me. Someone caught up to me, it was Nate
"What do you want Nate?"
"I saw you staring at me" he smirked.
"No I wasn't, and if you don't get away from me I will smack that smirk off your face" I threatened
"Amber I thought we established that you aren't intimidating" his eyes went straight to my chest, his fuckboy game is really strong right now
"Eyes up here Nate" i slapped him
"Excuse me?" He acted like he didn't do anything wrong
"Ugh never mind, I have to get to my class" I walked away but he still walked with me.
"Me too, I have English class" he said
"Same" I sighed we walked into the same class and of fucking course the damn teacher is lazy and put us in abc order by lasts name. Of course I had to sit with Nate. My teacher didn't teach, he just lets us talk pretty much, it's usually a free time. But about 15 minutes into the class the teacher decides to pair us up with the people sitting next to us, we have to write a 20 page report about Romeo and Juliet. Nate slipped me a piece of paper with a number on it. Damnit this teacher hates me. The bell rang and I went to my locker and out to deans truck and waited for him. But instead of Dean and Cody, Mae decided to come out and talk to me.
"Hey Amber? For that report I can come over to work on it." He suggested
"Yeah thats cool, I'll text you my address" I said  as Dean and Cody walked out of the school and Nate walks away, I couldn't help but smile.
"Hey Cody is spending the week at our house in the guest room." Dean said
"Okay, um, I got a project today, and I have to work on it with a partner can he come over?" I asked
"ITS A HE DEAN SAY NO" Cody screamed
"Yeah he can come over, but who is it?" He asked
"Nate" I mumbled only loud enough for dean to hear.
