~Chapter 1~
I groaned rolling over in bed, practically groping my bedside dresser; my fingers fumbling over the chilled wooden surface, looking for the beeping alarm clock that had woken me up from the first night of an actual nightmare-less night for the first time in months. A huge crash from outside my closed bedroom door made me bolt up right as the door was thrown open. I yelped as Breauna appeared in the doorway baring a wooden spoon and a pan. She hit the pot a few times making a god awful noise.
"Get up!" She screamed over all the racket. "Come on Sage, it's our first day at our new school!"
"Okay Bre, I know I'm up!" I yelled.
"Get up!" Anna screamed racing past my door and down the hall with a blow horn in her hand. I stood up and padded over to the dresser and digging through several drawers and pulling out something to wear before I yanked the curtains open, light streamed into the bedroom. I quickly got dressed in a pink over sized sweater, light blue skinny jeans, and a pair of light gray vans.
I was still in shock that school was starting in October, the girls and I had to switch schools because ours was almost completely demolished in a flood in late August, so we were basically being forced to go to the second nearest high school in our area; which was WoodVille High, in WoodVille, Maine. But WoodVille High was also known as the girls and I's best friend Lizzy's boyfriend Liam's high school.
I straightened my wavy blonde hair, that came down just below my chest, before putting a little bit of mascara on and brushing my teeth. I haven't really worn real make like foundation, I mean I have it I just don't really think I need it. I guess it's just a habit I have picked up from my mom after all those years of living with her. I walked down the stairs and took a seat at the table, next to Bre who was casually eating a bowl of Lucky Charms. Taylor was passed out, her head lazily draped over her folded arms that rested on the cherry oak table top, Lizzy and Anna were still upstairs getting ready.
I couldn't help but miss my mom, and wonder what she was doing right now. Was she thinking about me or missing me? She is probably sitting in some boring meeting that she constantly has to sit through, the ones where a bunch of sophisticated people sit there, looking all fancy and crap, with their expensive pens, and crisp papers they have ready to present to the company's panel. My mom works at a publishing company that's head quarters is in Hartford, Connecticut so she goes out there ever two weeks and stays for four weeks. My father is said to have moved back to Maine, but I don't have any motivation to talk to him especially after he just ditched my mom and I ten years ago. So I stay at Lizzy's older sister, Sarah's house when my mom isn't home. But I live there with Bre, Taylor, Anna, and Lizzy. Sarah normally works late and stays at her boyfriends apartment which is a lot closer to the hospital she works as a nurse in, Lizzys older brother Louis is at college he lived with his dad for a long time so I haven't gotten to meet him, but he's coming out this weekend to vistit, but until then that basically just leaves the entire house to just five girls.
I am shaken out of my thoughts as I hear a knock at the door and Lizzy's dog Jewel clambers down the stairs and begins barking. Lizzy must have answered the door because Liam walked into the kitchen holding her hand with three guys trailing behind him. I hear Bre choke on her cereal as she looks up at them her cheeks flustered, as she puts her spoon down and sits back. As if taking in the sight of three insanely hot guys in our dining room.
"Oh um, guys they are- hold on. Anna!" Lizzy yelled as Anna appeared in the threshold of the dining room and kitchen area. Her long blonde hair was curled on the ends and she wore a pair of skinny jeans, an oversized sweatshirt, and a pair of uggs. She held an apple in her left hand, but soon dropped it as soon as she saw the three teen guys. "This is Anna, the one with the long blonde hair is Sage, that's Breauna, and that's Taylor." Lizzy added, Taylor was still asleep.
