The Alpha's Law

03- Torchwood High

"Mommy said to wake up" Ian yells jumping on my bed and legs. I yelp flipping over out of his way. Ian jumps off the bed, does a summersault, and runs out of the room like a maniac. Who gave him sugar for breakfast? 

Today is the first day of school. We haven't even spent a whole day in Torchwood, and we are already attending school. Even Ian is going to first grade here. We have to drop him off on our way to high school.

"Riley and Chloe are you up?" Mom yells, probably from the bottom of the stairs. Chloe yells from her room, in response. I just stomp on the floor not having enough energy to yell. Even though I went to bed super early I feel extremely tired.

I groggily go to the bathroom to brush my teeth and take a shower. There are three bathrooms so Chloe and I get our own. I finish in record time and go to the closet. Since Chloe and I share clothes we use the closet in the fifth bedroom so it will be in a common area. 

Picking out clothes for the first day of school is hard. Picking out clothes for the first day of school, at a new school, in the middle of the year is terrifying. I don't want to seem snotty or too boyish or too scary. 

I settle on a floral top with jeans and leather boots. But just in case I put converse, a green henley and a ponytail holder in a drawstring bag. I'm guessing girls dress impressive here but just in case I don't want to stick out. Chloe must be thinking the same thing because she comes out of her room wearing an almost identical outfit.

"Nice" I say walking beside her to the kitchen. Dad is making eggs while Mom is reading the paper and Ian is eating fruit loops. I sit down looking at the clock. We have fifteen minutes before we have to go to school.

"How are you going to get to work?" Chloe asks to Dad as he dishes us eggs. I never thought of how he would drive to work when we are taking the car to school.

"They dropped off the squad car last night, so I can drive to work this morning" Dad answers, sitting down with coffee. Dad used to be chief of police but I don't know what he will be here. Maybe he will have to start from the bottom and work his way up to chief.

"I'll get it!" Ian yells as the doorbell rings. Mom lets him get it since she can see the doorway from here. It's another one of my parents theories. Making him independent, by letting him get the mail and open doors.

"Mommy Mommy look" Ian yells jumping up and down. Kameron struts through the kitchen door smirking slightly. I jump up and run into his arms. I haven't see him in months. 

"What are you doing here?" Chloe squeals hugging Kameron. He leans on the doorway crossing his arms. He definitely is more muscular than the last time I saw him.

"I came to take my two favorite sisters to school" He says winking. It isn't just his muscles that are different. He went from awkward to extremely handsome and charismatic. I am saying that as his sister, so that means a lot.

"Are you taking me too?" Ian asks jumping into his arms. I laugh slightly, it looks so cute. Chloe yelps from her chair and jumps up.

"What?" Everyone yells simultaneously. Chloe just grabs her backpack from the chair.

"We are late" She says running towards the front door. Panic mode sets in my brain. I grab my bag, the car keys and Ian's hand before dashing out of the house with Kameron behind me. If it wasn't for Kameron I would have fallen straight down the stairs. But he caught me just in time, before my face hit the concrete.

"I'm driving" Kameron says hopping into the driver's seat. I throw him the keys and help Ian in his booster seat. 

We get to the school five minutes early. Ian's school is next to ours so it only took five minutes to drop him off and get here. Kameron parks the car, getting out to talk to some people. 

We got our schedules and maps in the mail so all we have to do is go in and find the classroom. Chloe and I don't have many classes together unfortunately. So I am basically going into this school knowing no one. 

The school isn't that bad. Each section of the building is a different color. There are three floors and around 1,000 students. The map is detailed so I shouldn't get lost but that doesn't help the butterflies in my stomach.

Everyone is hanging around the hallways and I notice instantly I am overdressed. Chloe exchanges a look with me that she sees that too. All the girls are wearing earth tones, jeans and sneakers. With a few exceptions all the guys are wearing black, blue, or grey. And with a few exceptions most people here are extremely attractive.

We duck into a bathroom to change clothes. Good thing I brought spare clothes, I don't want to be that girl. I finish first pulling my hair up into a ponytail shortly followed by Chloe. The bathroom is actually clean unlike our former school.

"So meet you in lunch?" Chloe asks walking out of the bathroom. I nod my head giving her a hug. I can't even talk, my hands are shaking and my heart is about to beat out of my chest.

She goes to the left while I go to the right. Fortunately my locker is right next to my first period class. I have Mandarin Chinese first period in the green section. I didn't expect the school to be this big. It takes five minutes just to get to my locker. I don't have much stuff to put in there but I stop anyway.

"Watch out!" A tall figure yells as I clumsily bump into his chest. A warm tingling feeling spreads through my body. I look up to see one of the hottest people I have ever seen. He has short brown hair that makes me want to run my hands through it. His eyes are milk chocolate brown and are staring directly at me.

'' I am so sorry" I say trying to step around him. But someone else steps in front of me. The second guy is handsome but not as handsome as the first. He has dirty blonde hair and light blue eyes. 

"Are you new?" The second guy asks. I choke on air trying to think what's going on. The first guy sniffs the air and whispers to the blonde.

"Yeah today is my first day" I say my voice shaking. By now the whole hallway has stopped to watch and listen. I wanted to make an impression at this school but this isn't exactly what I was thinking.

A third guy comes to stand behind the first person. He is probably the third handsome with cold grey eyes. Although he is the only one looking sympathetically at me. 

"Well, don't bump into me again" The first one yells walking away. Even though they just scared me half to death I must admit they are the hottest guys I have seen in my life.

I walk into the classroom with my head held as low as possible. The teacher is a woman and looks about 27. She isn't Chinese but is speaking fluently to a student who looks completely lost.

"Oh you must be Riley " She says turning around. The whole class turns to look at me like they have never seen a girl before. I walk up to her to hand her the sheet she has to sign. She smiles taking it out of my hands.

"My name is Mrs. Shreighton, you can have a seat next to Aiden Jacobs" Mrs. Shreighton says pointing to the last open seat. Just my luck it is the grey eyes guy from before. I put my stuff down and sit next to him. He looks me up and down as if deciding what kind of person I am. 

"It's Jacob" He says quite randomly. I take my eyes off of Mrs. Shreighton to look at him. 

"What?" I ask bewildered. It seems kind if random thing to say.

"Everyone calls me by my last name. So I'm not Aiden, I'm Jacob" He says smiling. His smile transforms his face from a somewhat scary angry person to a boyish cute guy. 

"Okay well then I am Kendall" I say smiling back. At least he isn't yelling at me like his attractive friends. I look ahead at the board and listen to Mrs. Shreighton go on and on about pinyin.

...

The day is going by so slowly. Finally it is seventh period lunch. One of the two classes Chloe and I have together.

"Over here" Jacob shouts across the lunchroom. I pinch Chloe's arm in excitement. I have only been at Torchwood for six periods, but I already know Jacob and his friends are the popular crowd. Not the jerk kind though that gives nerd wedgies or punches kids in the band.

"Omg this is really happening" Chloe whispers as we walk over. There is about ten other people sitting there. Including the guy the blonde guy from earlier.

"Got you a lunch" Jacob says smiling as I sit down. I smile taking the tray of French fries and salad. 

"Thanks'' I smile looking around at the table as another guy hands Chloe a tray. Everyone here is gorgeous, the girls all have perfect hair and eyelashes and all that. And the guys all have perfect hair, smiles and all that. It feels like some club because all the guys are wearing black. 

"So where did you guys move here from?" Jacob asks smiling again at me. His smile painfully reminds me of Jude. Even though Jude is nowhere near as attractive as Jacob. 

"Pasadena, In California" Chloe says smiling. She looks like a little kid in a toy store. Like she can't believe she's here. I feel the same way but am trying to hide it.

"Did you hear about the council meeting?" A very skinny girl asks from down the table. Jacob shushes her and gives her a look that could kill. She shrinks down into her chair in silence. That was a little weird but I shrug it off and eat some fries.

"Here he comes" the blonde guy says under his breath. I look around to the front doors. The guy I bumped into walks in looking like he owns the school.

"That's Jace" Jacob whispers in my ear. I guess Jace is above the whole last name thing. I haven't even had a real conversation with him but I can already tell he is a jerk. 

"Who are they?" He asks loudly making the whole lunchroom go silent. His brown eyes seem to burn a hole in my face. 

"This is Riley Kendall and her sister Chloe Carter" Jacob says with an attitude. Jace looks around and sits across from Jacob and I.

"My brother loves those" I laugh as Jacob pulls out a sunny d mini bottle. We have a fridge full of them because that is all Ian will drink.

"How old is he?" Jace asks from across the table. I look down towards my salad not wanting to look directly at him. He makes me extremely nervous.

"Six" I say my voice trembling slightly. I look up to meet his extremely gorgeous eyes.

"He's six?" Jace says smiling. It doesn't seem sincere and is a little frightening. Jacob jumps up staring down Jace. Everyone at the table shrinks back.

"Don't!" Jacob snarls. Jace just smirks sitting back in the chair and crossing his arms. Fear spreads through my body. There is something strange about Jace that makes me fear him.

" I can do whatever the hell I want. And it's not even up to me." Jace says too calmly. Jacob shakes his head like he is trying to shake off a thought. This whole encounter is being watched by the whole lunchroom.

"Don't act like you are in charge of us, because you're not!" Jacob yells snarling. I can practically feel the testosterone in the air. The bell rings but no one dares to move. Finally Jace stands up and just walks out of the lunchroom.

"I'm sorry about that" Jacob says walking with Chloe and me to literature. He must be bipolar because he is totally fine now. 

"So are you guys enemies or something?" Chloe asks sitting down in Lit. This will probably be my least favorite class. The teacher looks 60 and extremely boring.

"No. He is my best friend, he isn't as much of an ass as he seems to be" Jacob smiles. The teacher is talking but no one is listening. Everyone is either texting or talking in hushed tones. 

"Finally it's over" Chloe huffs as the period ends. Chloe and Jacob talked all period while I tried to figure out what Jace and Jacob were fighting about. I didn't want to ask because I am still the new kid. Jacob seems to like me but I don't want to push it.

"How was your first day?" Kameron asks as we meet him in the parking lot. He already picked up Ian who is coloring in the back seat. 

"It was great. Hung out with Aiden Jacobs and his friends" I say getting into the passenger seat. Kameron gets in smiling slightly.

"They're good people. I'm glad you're friends with them. It will make it easier" Kameron murmurs turning violently onto our street. We only live about five minutes from the school making the ride short.

"Are you friends with them?" I ask raising an eyebrow. It's a little weird for a college aged guy to hang out with high school kids.

"Yeah I hang out with them sometimes, especially Jace" Kameron sighs pulling into the driveway. Of course Kameron has to be friends with Jace. Like my life wasn't unlucky enough already.

"Okay we're in charge. Do you have any homework?" Chloe asks Ian as Kameron drives away. Ian huffs stomping into the kitchen with his backpack.

"Wanna watch a movie?" Chloe asks plopping down on the couch. I agree sitting down to watch insidious. I haven't seen it yet and we are going to see chapter two soon.

...

"I'll get it" I yawn after the doorbell rings. We are about half way through the movie where the family is moving.

"Who is it?" I ask at the doorway. There is a slight pause before Jacob's voice comes from the other side. I open it and three guys push past me into the hallway. Each of them is dressed in black with hoods on. But I can recognize Jace, Jacob, and the blonde guy from earlier.

"What the hell?" I shout still at the doorway. The blonde guy goes upstairs without even asking for permission.

"Where's your brother?'' Jace snarls getting in my face. I shrink back but don't answer. Jace growls so fiercely it is almost unhuman. He sniffs heavily and runs into the kitchen. 

"What's going on?" I yell at Jacob who is the only one left in the room. He looks apologetic but doesn't say a word. I stamp my foot like girls in the movies. I didn't mean to but I am extremely angry.

"Got him lets go Lucas" Jace yells upstairs. He walks in with a screaming Ian over his shoulder. I go from angry to furious.

"What the hell is happening" I yell hitting Jacob and the chest. The blonde guy who is apparently named Lucas, bounds downstairs with one of Ian's stuffed animals.

"Put him down!" I yell almost crying out of anger. What the hell is going on? Was Jacob being my friend only an act to get to Ian? And why would they want Ian in the first place?

"I'm so sorry" Jacob says before leaving after Jace and Lucas. I would run after and try and fight them but it would be no use. They are way too muscular for me to do any damage.

I slide down the wall in a heap starting to cry. Chloe comes in from the living room looking confused I don't know how she didn't hear all of Ian's screaming and sobbing.

"What happened?" Chloe asks kneeling down next to me. I just shake my head.

"I don't even know"
