That One Annoying Kid

Willow's P.O.V
Don't you just hate school? I mean I do and I don't. I hate school because I have to wake up early in the morning for it, and all the schoolwork. But I love it because it means more time with my friends. The worst part about waking up for school in the morning is my brother. He always manages to find a different way to wake me up in the morning. Last week he: Tipped water over my head, turned his music on full blast, kept flushing the chain of the toilet in my bathroom, opened the curtains and turned the lights on and off. I literally have the worst brother in the world sometimes but at other times, he's the best. I mean let's think about it, without Darcie I honestly probably would've lost my sanity. Because things have been different since mom left. She told us she was going to the theatre with some friends- but she never came back. Hell, I don't even know If she's alive. I haven't seen her since I was 5, and I'm now 15. And a half. Dad isn't home as often anymore either. He has a super job that pays an awful lot, so me and Darcie are pretty much spoilt, as much as we refuse- Dad says we deserve it after we've gone 10 years without mom. Darcie's 20 now and he looks after me. Well me and the gang. I should probably stop calling us a gang, it makes us sound like bad people. The truth is, we have a band. An awesome one at that. Me and my best friend Owen play the guitar and sing. April plays keyboard and Ru plays the drums. I honestly don't know how we do it, but we sound pretty good. We're the only band in the school and people love watching us perform.

"WILLOW! GET YOUR BUTT OUTTA BED!" Darcie screams, hitting saucepans with a wooden spoon.
"YOU HAVE SCHOOL YOUNG LADY AND IF YOU DONT GET UP THIS SECOND, NO PANCAKES FOR YOU!" He continues. I sit up and rub my eyes.
"Okay Darce I'm up I'm up!" I say, swinging my legs over the bed and slowly trekking downstairs. I go into the kitchen and take my seat at down the table.
"Blueberries?" Darcie asks.
"Yes please." I reply.
"Cream?"
"Yes please."
"Onions?"
"Eww no you weirdo." I grimace.
"Chill Will I was only joking." He says, laughing. I nod and he places the plate of pancakes in front of me.
"Orange juice?" He asks.
"No thanks. Have we got any apple juice?" I ask. He nods and pours me a glass of apple juice. I take a sip of apple juice and cut a bit from my pancake, putting it in my mouth.
"Darcie these are awesome!" I say giggling.
"You bet they are, they're made with extra love." He laughs at his comment.
"You are the cringeyest brother ever." I giggle.
"Alright. I'll pick you up from school today okay? So wait outside the gates for me." He says. I nod. I finish the pancakes and my apple juice and go upstairs to get dressed. I pull on an oversized galaxy sweater and a pair of black leggings. I brush my hair and decide to leave it down. I spray on some apple perfume and run downstairs, putting on my white converse. I grab my bag from the banister and open the door.
"Cya Darce!" I yell.
"Bye Willow, have a good day at school and I'll see you when I pick you up!" He yells back. I walk out of the door and start walking to school.

When I get to school there's mutters about a new kid. Well that's cool. I see Ru, April and Owen stood by the fountain so I walk over to them.
"Hey hey!" I say, standing next to Owen.
"Hey Willow." They all say.
"So Willow," Ru starts, "Have you heard about the new kid?"
"Yeah I heard mumbles but that was about it." I say.
"Well I heard that he got kicked out of his old school for punching some kid in the face." Owen says.
"And beating up some other kid." April adds.
"Yeesh. At least we all know not to get on his bad side." I say. We all nod in agreement. There's a bunch of gasps and squeals from a bunch of people so we turn around. A boy with brown hair walks through the gate with shades covering his eyes. He has black skinny jeans and a black leather jacket.
"He's probs a vampire Will." Owen whispers in my ear. I giggle. His gaze averts towards us, well at least it seems like it. He starts walking over to us and I can hear April and Ru gulp. He gets to us and just as he opens his mouth to talk, the bell rings. I grab Owens wrist and start walking inside.
"Definitely a vampire." He says. This time the whole group laughs. We go to our lockers and grab our things we need until lunch. First on my schedule is double music- the best lesson ever. Ru, April and Owen all take music with me and it's even better when we're grouped together. We walk into music and everyone stares at us. Well not at us but what's behind us. I turn around and see the same kid from earlier. My group and I quickly rush to our seats and sit down. That's when I realise the only available seat is next to me. You can't be serious. He takes a seat next to me and opens his mouth to talk once more but for the second time today, the bell rings to inform classes are starting. Our music teacher, Mr Ryans, starts role call.
