Forbidden Lovers

Chapter 1

I waved to my friends, they laughed and waved back and then drove off. Loud music blasted from the old car, and I could still hear them singing along from down the street. I smiled, and walked to my door and let myself in. 

"Skyla, is that you?" Mum shouted through.

"Yes mum." I walked into the sitting room where she was reading a magazine. She was once young and beautiful with a curvaceous body. She was 5"9. After having two children she grew paranoid about weight and started crazy dieting, losing more and more weight each week. She was always trying out new diets, and she weighed a close amount to what I did. The more weight she lost, the weaker she got. She fainted a lot and ended up at the doctors, who gave her a target weight to get to. She has to keep going back there and weigh herself every so often, and I worry about her. 

"Did you have fun honey?" She looked up and smiled at me. I bounced into a seat next to her. 

"Yeah it was good, but I've got homework to get on with." I hugged her and then dragged myself up from the comfy sofa and bounded up the stairs. Halfway up I stopped. I heard laughs and thumps of music: my brother had friends round. I quietly walked past his room, peering around his door that was slightly ajar, to see who he had over. It was Daniel the boy in the year above me. Daniel was the guy most people liked, the popular guy who you didn't want to mess with, the guy who can get his own way at everything. The boy who is kind of cute..There's a Daniel at every school. 

I walked past and finally entered my sanctuary. I flopped onto my bed, looking up at the lights I stuck to the ceiling to feel safe at night. Sighing, I rolled over and grabbed my school notebook from my desk, to check the homework I had to do. Luckily, all I had to do was bake some cupcakes for a funraiser tomorrow. Because I  taking cooking, I have to do it. 

I ran downstairs and bounced into the kitchen. Looking in cupboards I didn't see any promising sights; I'd have to go out and get ingredients. 

I headed out of the corner store, a full bag of ingredients in each hand. I looked down at what I had bought, smiling. Not looking where I was going I bumped into somebody, dropping my bags. Shit. I hoped the eggs hadn't cracked. I knelt down, putting everything back into plastic bags,

"I'm sorry, I wasn't looking.."

"No, don't be, it was my fault Skyla." I looked up, seeing my friend Anna knelt down helping me. 

"No it wasn't, but thanks anyway." I smiled as I put the last of my things into my bags, thankfully the eggs weren't cracked. 

"It's okay. I saw you with Sophia and the others at the shopping centre earlier, they were putting mentos into coke," I looked her in the eye and we both giggled, "But you didn't join in."

"Well..I didn't want to get into trouble." 

"Screw that. Live a little, we're only teenagers once in our lives. Do something wreckless once in a while. I've got to go, sorry for bumping into you." She walked into the store and I shook my head in bewilderment. 

I took the last tray of cupcakes out of the oven. They smelt amazing. They looked perfect, if I must say so myself. I got out an icing bag and filled it, and then proceeded to do my favourite part of baking, the decorating. 

For the next hour I iced and sprinkled and glittered more than fifty cupcakes. One last chocolate ball was gently placed on a perfect cupcake and I was done. I happily looked over my creations, wiping my hands on my baking apron. Right on cue I heard loud bumps as the boys raced down the stairs and into the kitchen.

"I smelt food." Wow that's my smart brother. 

"Yes. That's right," he reached past me and tried to grab a cupcake. I swat at his hand an threatened him with a wooden spoon. I know, I'm just so violent.. "If you dare to even touch one of these cupcakes then I swear I'll upload that picture of you from Halloween last year." Daniel looked amused behind us.

"You wouldn't dare."

"Craig; you know I would." He sighed and then left, saying he had to go call a mate. Daniel stayed, and gave me the puppy dog eyes. 

"Skyla you know you love me." He got on his knees, making me giggle. 

"Daniel no," I laughed at him. He got up and started to walk away, so I turned back to my cupcakes, about to package them, when I felt arms around my waist lifting me up and tickling me. 

"Daniel put me down!" I screamed. 

"Only if you let me have one." He whispered in my ear. A shiver ran all the way through me, and I didn't know why. 

"Fine okay okay." I surrendered. He took a cupcake, and had a big bite of victory. I packaged up all of the cupcakes and put them in the fridge to cool. Turning around, I noticed something in Daniel's hand. 

"Daniel. You brought booze here?!" He had a bottle of Vodka in his hand. 

"Um. No. No I didn't." 

"I'm not an idiot Daniel I can see it!!!" I marched over to him. I could smell cologne on him. It was..nice. Looking into his deep brown eyes I felt reckless. 

"Do you want some?" Live a little, we're only teenagers once in our lives. Do something wreckless once in a while...

"Yes."
