A/N: Hey Guys, this is the first chapter to my story!!!!! I hope you guys enjoy it!!! Happy reading!!!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
??? POV
My name's Alexia Elisabeth Stonebrook. Alex for short. My favourite thing to do is read or study. You could call me a nerd, but I'm not your average nerd either. I love to sing and listen to music and I'm hoping to become a singer when I graduate. I've already secured a place at one of the top music labels in the UK, and go at least once a week to help artists record demos and songs for fun. No one knows this of course, apart from my best friend Laura, but at school, I'm just that ordinary girl that no one notices.
Right now, it's 6 am on a Friday, I'm on my phone in bed checking if I got any messages from Ed Sheeran, a friend of mine which I'm recording with tomorrow. Typical me, though I really need to get out of bed to get ready.
I pull the warm duvet off my bare legs and almost immediately, a harsh cold greets them. I shiver as I walk to my wardrobe and take out my outfit for the day: a pair of denim dungarees, a baggy orange t-shirt and a pair of Adidas superstars. I quickly throw my clothes on as I pack my school bag, remembering to pack my homework. I quickly check my watch: it's 6:35, I need to be out and in my car by 7:30, giving me plenty of time to have breakfast and get my other things ready. As I walk downstairs, I feel my phone vibrate in my back pocket. I quickly check it and see that it's a message from Laura.
Four-Eyes:
Hey Ryder, can you pick me up today... my car broke down :(
Ryder:
Sure, and stop calling me Ryder! Do I look like a spy to you?! I'm not Alex Ryder!
Four-Eyes:
Jeez, take a chill pill... see you in a bit ;)
Hot-Head:
See ya x
I lock my phone and slide it back in my back pocket as I begin pouring milk into my cereal bowl which I'd prepared whilst texting Laura. As I sit on one of the chairs in the kitchen, I feel my phone vibrate yet again, but this time the message is from Ed.
SHEERAN:
Hey Alex, are you still free for recording tomorrow?
Alexia:
Yup, seriously can't wait tho :) What are we recording again?
SHEERAN:
Cool! we're recording photograph as a duet and don't with you as backup vocals. Btw, I'm bringing a friend who I think you'd like to meet who's gonna be helping you with vocals.
Alexia:
Sick! I'm super psyched! See ya later :)
SHEERAN:
Bye
By now, I'd already finished my cereal and am on my way to my bathroom to do my makeup before I leave the house. I jog up the stairs to my room and make my way to the other side, where my bathroom is. I take out my plain, black, glossy make-up bag and rummage through its contents until I find my foundation. I apply a very thin layer so that my face doesn't look too overly made-up. I quickly dab on some concealer and add a bit of bronzer and blush to my slightly tanned face. I finish my look with squash coloured lipstick to match my orange top and a bit of mascara. I then throw my long dark hair into a ponytail and curl the ends quickly as I grab everything so I'm ready to leave.
As I walk out the door, I feel my phone vibrate continuously in my back pocket. I whip it out and check the caller ID. It's Laura.
"Hey Ryder, where you at?" Laura shouts down the phone line.
"On my way, I'm about to leave, I'll be there in two minutes, don't worry." I reply whilst wincing at the loudness of her voice.
"Cool, see you in a few" She responds not as loudly as before.
"Yeah, talk to you then" I say as I hang up. I open the car door and get in whilst setting my bag on the seat behind me and my phone in the cup holder next to the steering wheel. I turn the ignition key and begin to make my way out of my drive, heading to Laura's house.
As I turn on the familiar corner of my friend's road, I spot her sitting on her door step checking her phone. I drive up to her house and honk my car horn grabbing her attention. She quickly slips her phone into her side pocket whilst she gets up and pats her leather skirt down. She runs over to the car door as fast as she can, her two long braids swishing as she makes her way over and her big framed glasses resting atop her head.
"Hey Alex" she says, greeting me.
"Hey Laura" I reply enthusiastically. We sit there for a couple of seconds until Laura opens her mouth.
"You know, we could spend all day doing this, but we're gonna be late, so DRIVE!" She half shouts, half yells.
"Right, already on it" I laugh as I drive forward, en route to college.
On they way, we talk about the strangest of things: 14th century politics and where the Bermuda triangle is now, but half way through the journey, a few minutes away from college, Laura asks me this:
"Are you meeting up with Ed tomorrow?" She asks casually.
"Yeah... Why?" I ask in return.
"Allllllllleeeeeeeeexxxxxxx..." She begins.
"Laaaaaaaauuuuuurrrrrraaaa..." I whine back in a jokey manner, knowing exactly what she is going to say.
"Is it possible for me to go and meet Ed tomorrow?" She comes clean.
"Sure, why not?" I reply, making Laura smile a thousand times brighter. As you can tell, she is trash for Ed Sheeran, and she had been bothering me for ages to meet him ever since I became friends with him, so I decided that it wouldn't be a bad idea if it was going to make her happy.
"Thank you thank you thank y-" She begins before I cut her off.
"Now if you don't shut up, I MIGHT change my mind."
Laura nods her head rapidly and mimes zipping her mouth shut, locking it and throwing the key out the window. I laugh at her actions as I enter the familiar school parking lot and search for a parking space. Finding one quite near the school building, I zoom over and park my car in the empty spot. As I get out, I check the time, 8:15, meaning we have 45 minutes until our first lesson.
I begin making my way to the student entrance where Laura is already there waving at me to hurry up, but I'm distracted by the car that just pulled into the student parking lot. The car hurriedly parks in the space opposite mine, taking no care if it damages the cars around it. The car door opens, revealing dirty blonde hair, and as I register who it is, I turn around and sprint to the door.
As I look behind me one last time, my eyes are met with ice blue ones. I shiver, turning around to walk indoors, hoping to get as far away from there as possible.
