Ugh. The alarm clock rang: 6:00 am. Just another day in high school. You know, if it weren't so early, I might enjoy school.

I grab some random clothes from my closet: a 'Pink' t shirt ( that's actually a light blue), and some sweat pants. I throw my hair into a quick messy bun because I don't even care anymore, especially since it's Monday, I refuse to dress even remotely nice on this most hated day of the week.

My parents work a night shift, so they're not home yet. I poured myself some Honey Nut Cheerios to eat. Mmmm all that sweet goodness.

I yelled for my twin brother, River, to come on.

I quickly grab my keys and head to school. I'm sixteen and got my drivers licenses 2 months ago-finally, thank the lawwddd.

River didn't get in the car within 2 more minutes so I cruised out of the driveway leaving his butt.

As I pull up to the school parking lot, so does my crush. He has been my crush for like, ever. He's captain of the basketball team. The only downfall is he is dating a cheerleader who is extremely pretty, and I'm neither of those things.

I snap back into reality and grab my bag out of the backseat. We get out of the car about the same time. He reaches the door before me and holds it for me. I start to get butterflies. Then I realize that his girlfriend is right behind me. Well then...

I walk to the holding area that we sit in before school starts and walk over to my best friend. Her name is Analynn, and like me, she is considered a nerd. But she's the type of nerd everyone knows: captain of the Science Technology  Engineering  and Math (STEM) team, she president of student council, and shes very pretty. People know her- not me, but I like it that way.

"Hey" I tell her she says hi back then we go to class because I'm almost always late... hey, it takes time to look this good. Just kiddin;)

It's just a typical school day. At lunch, Analynn has a StuCo. meeting. So I sit with my other friend Lucas. Lucas started sitting with Analynn and I one day because his other "friends" were bee-otches(who doesn't love a Mean Girls reference) but I don't really know why he chose us... So it's just Lucas, Analynn, and Milla to fight off the evil monsters in the world... we play a lot of video games. Yeah, we are those people.

After lunch the rest of our periods drag by, as usual. History next, then English.

Finally it's theatre-my eighth period-Rrriiiiinnnnnggggggg there's the bell. Time to go home, finally. I grab my keys out of my backpack and head for the car. I watch the ground and try to avoid anyone at all, and I bump into somebody. I say sorry then look up "why such a rush?" Said Nathan Hamilton! That's the guy I was telling you about earlier that I have a big crush on. "Sorry" I tell him and begin to gather my books. He bends down and helps me take them to my car. Pfft, that's what everyone in those movies do. Like where the girl drops her books and the hot guys picks them up. Cliche. At this point my stomach is full of butterflies and I think all the happiness my explode out of me though a huge stream of rainbow puke. I thank him and get in the car to leave. I can't believe that just happened. He's hella fine, nice, athletic, smart enough to stay in sports (key words "smart enough") what else could you want?

I noticed River trailing behind me so I hopped in the drivers seat and let him take the passengers.

"Why the hell did you leave me this morning?"

"Well I just happened to not want to be late" I replied, although that wasn't completely true. I hated my first period.

He tries to say something else but I turn up Heavydirtysoul by Twenty Øne Piløts on the radio to drown him out. I love my brother and honestly he was probable my best friend, along with Ana and Luke, but I didn't want to talk right now.

When I get to my house I go straight to my room to analyze what just happened. I don't tell my mom hi or grab a snack, which is highly unusual because well who doesn't love food. I pop in my earbuds to my favorite radio station on spotify and think. Does he actually know who I am? I question myself. He seemed pleased when helping me. He probably thought I was the new girl. Now I know why he helped me. He thought I was the new girl. Mystery solved. Honestly no body at school knows me. Last week I was asked by someone, who has been my lab partner, if I was new.

I trail deep into thought until my moms call for supper pulls me back into reality. "Time for dinner!" My mom yells. "Coming mom," I reply.

I walk into the kitchen to find some chicken spaghetti and green beans with garlic toast, one of my favorites. Just as we start to pray, my stepdad burst in the door shouting excitedly. Once he realizes we are praying, he shuts up and bows his head along. "Amen" my mom finally says and my stepdad sits down and grabs a plate.

"Guess what!" My stepdad said as he took a bite of garlic toast. "Huh?" My mom stuffs a bite of spaghetti into her mouth. We live in the middle of no where in Texas, so our manners are a bit shabby.

"I got a job opportunity in California, that offers three times the pay and I get promoted to assistant managers the entire firm! I haven't taken it yet. I wanted to talk with yall first."

"That's amazing, honey!" My mom says. They've been together for almost 4 years now. My real dad abandoned us when I was born-the reason still unknown-yawn.

Moving to a new school wouldn't be the worst thing. Although I would be losing my two best friends, it would give me a chance for a new start. Like, I've thought a lot moving somewhere and changing almost every aspect about me. Maybe going by my middle name- Nicole- instead. Maybe changing my personality from nerd to over-confident-but-not-enough-to-be-annoying type.

"Where specifically in California?" I ask him.

"Huntington Beach," he tells me.

"That's legit. One of my favorite you tubers live there! Maybe I can meet him."

"Honey, can you go to your room so that we can discuss his decision?"

"Yeah. It'll probably be the last time you see me tonight though I'm really tired. Goodnight yall" I kiss my mom and hug my stepdad and walk to my room.

At first I grab my laptop to do a little research on this 'Huntington Beach' place. Maybe it won't be so bad. I mean we are only about 35 minutes from LA.
And I can still text and call Analynn and Lucas. That reminds me! I need to tell Analynn. I grab my phone and text her.

Hey. I might be moving to Cali😜very possibly. Hate that I might loose you though. -me

Ddinngg

Dooooooood that's legit!!! But Mills u best keep in touch with me😄☺️ -Analynn

Pfft duh. -me

I set my alarm and gently start to drift off to sleep. Then my mind decides to start singing the Farmers Only jingle. Needless to say, it was a long night.

AN:
Alrighty you guys. The first chapter is obvious Cheesy as heck but hopefully it gets better.
