Blue Moon Blood Moon

Chapter one

Riiiiiiiiiing. Riiiiiiiiiiing. Riiiiiiiiiiing.

"Nooooo," I mumble under the covers.

Riiiiiiiing. Riiiiiiiing. Riiiiiiiing.

"Why? Why? Why do I have to go to school?" I ask myself, finally gathering up all my strength and reaching for the alarm to switch it off. Once I'm done I drop my head on the bed. "Dear God. Thank you for this wonderful day you have made us to see today. Let us rejoice and be glad in it. In Jesus' mighty name I pray. Amen."
With that I lazily get up and head straight to the bathroom. I mumble a good morning to my mom.

"Morning," she says back.

How can she be so jolly in the morning? Or maybe I'm just not a morning person? I shake off my thoughts. I do not want to get a headache right now. I'm saving that for school.

I grab my toothbrush and brush my teeth, before taking a shower. The cold water always helps me cool down. After changing into my uniform I head downstairs. I don't eat breakfast in the morning unless it's cereal, since we are out of cereal I drink some water. I go back to the bathroom, realising i did not brush my hair. I go to my room and grab my backpack, then realise my legs and face are too oily so I wipe them. Finally I go bac downstairs. My dad honks the horn for the umpteenth time. "Coming!" I call out. I pack my books and lunch and head out to the car. I shove my things into the car before realising I left my phone. "One second!" I call out, sprinting into the house before he can stop me.

Once I finally settle down in the car,we take off. And yes this is what happends every morning in the boring life of Joy Starkus.

Riiiiiiiiinnnngggg.

"Ergh, stupid school alarm," I say heading to my locker.

"Well goodmorning sunshine," my friend Ross says, strolling up to me.

Ross Jack Peterson. 5'9. Dark brown hair. Blue eyes. Tanned skin tone. Muscular. Yah I know. This dweeb and I have been friends since kindergarten. He is like the brother I never had.

"Hey Ross," I yawn.

"Woow, you woke up on the wrong side of the bed", he says lifting a few strands of my hair and dropping them on my face. I glare at him and he only grins, showing off his charming dimples. I grab some books from my locker for first period Chenistry.

"Joy! Joy! Joy! OMG! JOY!"

Thats Melany Green, my crazy best friend. We have been friends since dipers and we went to the same kindergarten, where we kinda adopted Ross. She is a 5'4 I'm a 5'5. She has fair skin and long dirty blonde hair.

"Hey what's up?" I say.

"There are new kids in school. Super hot. Three of them." She says, trying to catch her breath.

I roll my eyes.

"That's it? I actually stood here to listen to you say that?" Ross asked. That got him a glare from Melany. He just raised his hands in defeat and walked away after whispering, "Goodluck," to me. I snorted.

"Hey pay attention," Melany said slapping my arm.

"Ok ok, hot guys, but you know I' not interested in any guys right now, relationships are just too much for me to handle. I don't think I"ll ever get married," I say as we walk to class.

"Yah I know, I know, but you have to at least see them an admit they are hotties. No scratch that Greek gods baby," she says before sighing and dramatically placing her hand on her forehead palm up.

I stiffle a laugh before rolling my eyes. When we got to the classroom door my heart just stopped. Like literally. Mel was right I saw Greek gods at that moment. My knees went weak when one of them looked at me. My eyes riverted from his and straight to the ground. I pulled Mel behind me as I looked for our seats.

"Chick slow down. I don't have legs as long as yours." She said trying to balance herself.

I let her go and sat down, ignoring what she had said. I turned to the back and saw that guy still staring at me intently. My heart was pounding rapidly and I found myself breathing rapidly. Ergh why does this always happen when I see a hot guy.

"Ha! I knew you would react," Mel says. "Mel-1 Joy-0," she says, making hand gestures in the process.

Ergh whatever. I'm just glad I'm able to control my emotions before they get out of hand and cause me to do something I'll regret. I'm glad it will be over soon cause it's just something that just happens then boom it's gone. Just breathe Joy, breathe. There we go.

"Don't flatter yourself, the reaction is gone," I say. "Like they always do," I add.

"Whatever man. Bottom line is you did. Just like an acid and a base. The reaction will end, but it still takes place," she says.

"Gasp! When did you get your brain replaced?" I ask feigning shock.

"Really?" She asks rolling her eyes. "You know wh-"

"May I call the house to order," Mr Frazier says as he enters the classroom.

Everyone stops the noise and pays attention.

"Today I will be explaining neutralisation reactions. Slow me down if I'm going too fast. Feel free to ask any questions," he says with a smile. "First let me introduce some new students who have joined us. Matthew Meyers, Blake Fisher and Andrew Meyers," he adds.

The three get a few death glares from the boys while the girls give them fox whistles and some fan themselves. Yep, that hot. I just rolled my eyes. Pathetic. Sooner than later these boys will be out of fashion and then newbies will come and they will be out of fashion and the cycle continues.

I mean look at Daniel Ford. Just last week when he came he was the talk of the school, today he is completly old news. Sad I know.

"Looks like somebody is interested in you," Mel says in a sing-song voice, patting my shoulder. "Third row last seat," she says.

I look back and see that same guy staring at me. Creep.

I roll my eyes and pay attention to Mr Frazier, who had already started teaching the class. I can still feel that guy's gaze on me. This is going to be a loooonng lesson.

Riiiiiiiiinnnnngggg.

Yippppy. Freeeeedddoooommm. Chemistry is finally over. I immediately head out the door, ignoring Mel who keeps calling out to me. I head straight to my locker. I grab my books and when I close the door my eyes come face to face with beautiful hazel ones.

Breathe Joy Breathe
