Destiny Awaits

1. The First Day

***Hello, I haven't decided on any pictures yet, but I will add some later on. I'm thinking of drawing the characters out and showing a different one each chapter. However, since I can only draw anime/manga versions, they will look like that. Anyways, I hope you like the story so far! Even though it looks so boring right now... Also, I'm open to feedback! Can't improve until I know what I'm doing wrong :D ***

My name is Ambrosia Lillis. I've been living my life for a while now. Sixteen years to be exact, but my life has changed over the past few years; it's different. I have a secret nobody knows, not even my mom. I'm all alone. If I tell someone, they'll think I'm crazy. I don't know if it's a good idea, but I have no other choice except to keep it a secret unless I want to be shipped off to a mental hospital like a loon.

The night before, Ambrosia nervously asked her mom if Josephine could spend the night. Every year, she never got the chance to see her best friend during school. Ambrosia swore this year would be different. She hardly heard her mother agree over the usual parent's reply screaming in the back of her mind: no.

The sudden, loud chirping of Ambrosia's phone woke her out of her comforting sleep. An audible groan left her lips before she turned over to see Josephine asleep beside her.

Checking the time, Ambrosia glanced at her phone and let another groan escape her lips. If they didn't leave her cozy bed now, they'd be scrambling out the door to make it on time. Trying not to let sleep overtake her, she shook Josephine's unconscious body, already knowing the outcome of this useless tactic. Ambrosia gave up after only a few shakes and decided to try another approach.

With a long, deep breath in, she screamed loud enough to wake only Josephine.

"Josephine! Wake up!"

"What?!" Josephine shrieked, startling awake. Amused, Ambrosia chuckled.

Josephine hated mornings as much as she did. Mornings were made to ruin lives. While Ambrosia had always found solace in the moon, Josephine enjoyed anything but the first rays of the new sun.

"It's time to get ready for school. It's the first day, remember?"

"Of course, I remember!"

"Then, get up!" Ambrosia exclaimed, shaking her.

Rolling over, Josephine whined, "I don't want to."

Ambrosia smirked, "Whatever. More boys for me."

"I'm up," Josephine cried, jumping out of bed. Ambrosia began to laugh.

Once both girls were dressed and ready, they walked downstairs to grab breakfast. Ambrosia wore a plaid shirt with some black leggings and a pair of black sneakers to match. Her dark brown hair fell in natural spirals, touching her lower back. Chocolate eyes shone in the light but were midnight in the shadows. An almost flawless skin was soft to the touch, but Ambrosia still was not impressed.

Ambrosia watched through the clear, rearview window as her three-story, brick house vanished. The lively, little neighborhood she had grown accustomed to lied on the edge of their average town where nothing exciting ever happened.

In the driver seat sat Callum. Next to him was her best friend, Josephine.

With everything a person could hope for, Ambrosia was proud to be Callum's sister. He had good looks, intelligence, and a great personality.

As Ambrosia hopped out of her brother's car, Callum's many friends came rushing over.

"Hey!"

"What's up?"
