Amber POV

School. S-C-H-O-O-L. Even worse, I'm in HIGH SCHOOL, which is pretty bad. Dixie is in 4th Grade. She's also in the Advanced Academics Program so she's I guess really smart? I was in the Advanced Academics Program also when I was in Grade School, now I'm in AP Honors in all of my classes. It's pretty normal I guess. Anyway, school is simply the worst thing you could imagine. Originally, Dixie and I were home schooled, until our parents were murdered. Ever since I turned 18, I'm old enough to take care of my sister. It gets pretty lonely sometimes. Like when I had my first period, my mother was there. I could talk to her every time I felt emotional. Now, all I have is Dixie and my best friend, Emily Dothenwell. She's like the closest thing I have to family, other than Dixie. But the thing with being the role model, is that you have to always stay positive, and that's what I always try to do when I'm around Dixie. Sometimes when she sees though my fake smile, she starts bugging me on how I need to stay positive. But she can also be a huge brat in those moments.

"Amber!"
I started to wobble on my feet. I started to look around the room to look for Emily.
"Amber, are you deaf or something?"
There she was, all up in my face.
"Oh, uh sorry Em, I just zoned out..." She gave me a disappointed look, but she had a playful meaning with the look. She shook her head and smiled brightly at me.
"Amber, do you even know our homework?"
I squinted at her with perplexity. "HOMEWORK?" I screamed at Emily.
"Of course we have homework Sherlock, we have it everyday!" It was clear she was getting pissed. "Is something wrong Amber?"
I shook my head. I barely even know what's wrong with myself. Why am I thinking so much about being lonely, I mean, wouldn't I be used to it by now?

"Oh my gosh, Amber Cassie Kikabiaji, come back to this world!" I was still dozed off in my own little world, and that was when Emily decided to take a little action.

Emily slapped me awake.

I almost fell off my chair. "EMILY!" The teacher came over towards us and shushed us to make us quiet. I gave Emily the death stare while she smiled proudly back at me.
"RRRRRRRIIIIIIINNNNNNNGGGGG!"
It was the bell, I shoved Emily playfully and shouted "Race you to the lockers!" My curly brown hair brushed into my face, and instead of crashing into my locker, I crashed into a guy.

He looked down at me like I was some tiny piece of crap.
"Watch where you're going bitch!" I stepped back from the guy. He had huge muscles and big hands. He was wearing a leather jacket on top of a black shirt. For his pants he had ripped jeans. I started to blush like crazy. He probably saw it because he started to take the hair out of my eyes. He looked down at me lovingly.
He grabbed my chin.
And he kissed me.
