Ties (Book 1)

2. Red Lights

"Ouch, crap," I gasped in pain.

Maybe I should have started pushing my chair in before I went to bed; it would have changed the oh-so-dangerous life I lived. It was the third time I had hit my toe on the dang chair. If I ever break my toe, it's because of you, chair. I became more than awake because of the shooting pain on my toe. I made my way to the bathroom. Once in the shower, I could not get out anymore. All the lavender and cherry blossom smells made me relax and want to stay in the shower for eternity, but I couldn't. Hell on Earth—school—was waiting.

I put on a simple aqua blue sundress and black leather sandals to go with it. When I went downstairs, I guessed Maryanne had not arrived yet, since the house was silent. Man I was actually hoping for some breakfast today. She never came that early though. It had simply been a hope of mine that she came early by surprise.

I hopped in my bullet colored Mustang and drove to school after I finished making myself presentable for the day. I remembered how much I had to beg to get the car. My father said it was not good enough for me. He always wanted and had the most luxurious cars. I obsecrated for the car with all my might, not wanting to draw any more attention to my riches. He complied and said that after high school I could get another car more fitting for his princess. Princess my butt.

"Stupid red lights, why can't you just turn green when I say so?" I huffed out with impatience.

I decided to focus on the radio and sing my little heart out while I danced around nonchalantly. Little to my knowledge, the cute-eyed boy I ran into the day before was in his black truck looking at me without even trying to hide his amusement or the fact that he was just staring at me. Boy did I really hate red lights. My face probably started turning as red as the light.

I knew he was still looking at me. I had felt his piercing eyes through the window. My car flew when I hit the accelerator as soon as the street light changed color. Only slowing down at the school zone because I was not about to get a ticket for speeding. Twice already that I had met him during embarrassing situations.

Finally I arrived at school and parked in my spot. I rested my head back and closed my eyes, so I could try to forget about my embarrassing situation. Deciding just to move on and forget about it, I opened my mirror to put on some lip gloss. I pushed the door open and stood up. All of sudden I saw someone pulling up besides my car.

"Wow just wow. Shoot me now," I murmured, rolling my eyes as I slumped and walked towards the gates of Hell.
