Struck By Cupid's Bullet

1. A New Day, A New Life

*M/N's POV*

"M/N!" I groan as the curtains fly open, sending sunlight streaming through the window, "M/N, get up! You're going to be late!"

"For what..?" I mumble, pulling the covers over my head. A hand hooks over the edge, pulling my covers off me. I whine, reaching up, covering my eyes.

"Chase!"

My older brother glares at me, dumping my bed covers on the floor. Chase is older than me by three years, making him seventeen. He's never happy, like, ever, and he's so bossy. I wish he'd stop being so overprotective all the time.

"Get up. You have school."

"School..?" I mutter, sitting up slowly. I don't go to school. I was homeschooled until I was twelve, right..?

Then it hit me.

"SCHOOL!" I jump out of bed and into the adjoining bathroom, ignoring Chase whispering 'Idiot' and shaking his head.

"You'd better hurry up!"

"Asshole!" I shout at him as I strip my pyjamas and jump into the shower, "Why didn't you wake me up sooner?!"

"Because I at least thought you had the brain capacity to listen to your alarm clock." He answers. I growl and swear once more, rapidly getting dressed and running into the kitchen, outing on my shoes and grabbing my bag.

"Dammit, Chase," I grab a piece of toast off the plate, while Chase sips his tea, "Can you at least give me a lift? I'll never make it in time if you don't."

"You're thirteen years old. Start looking after yourself," He says coldly, and I pout, giving him my best puppy-dog eyes. He flinches, and I internally grin. He can never resist that look, "Fine. Make sure you have everything."

I punch the air in victory.

I meet Chase at his bike. One of his prized possessions. He'd kill me if I touched it without his permission.

"Hurry up, M/N."

"Yeah, okay! Geez!"

I catch the red bike helmet he throws me, and climb on behind him, wrapping my arms around his waist as we speed through the streets.

"We're here."

"Thanks, bro!" I throw him my helmet.

"You have a mission tonight, so don't get into trouble."

I grin and nod, though I know I'll probably be in detention. Chase drives off, and I adjust my red-laced uniform. A new school. My first school, but everything will be fine. It has to be. I need a bit of peace. I take a step into the school courtyard and-

"I'M GONNA HIGH FIVE THE SKY!"

-Get pushed to the ground by a kid landing on me.

"Whoops!"

"Aw, crap..." I mutter.

It seems school wouldn't be so peaceful after all.
