Stephanies POV

'Well hey, hi, hows it going? hmm well...If I had to explain my life in one word I would say...different. Ok I know what you think, how could it be different? Well everyone's life is different than other people. You have people who are wealthy, people who suffer from poverty, people with good lives, people with bad lives etc. well my life is on the road. I don't live in any one place, which is a bit difficult for my... let's call it 'habits'.

I am from Australia...well I was born there anyways. I lived there 'til I was three then we started moving, my dad said we had to. Well, three years ago, when I was fourteen we lived in Miami. That's when my

mother died. Well that's what people think but I know different. We all do.

Well that's my life...well what any normal person knows of it anyway. What makes it different is the reason why people think my mother is dead, what my family's secret is. But that's something to talk about in another time.'

I put the book / diary away. Stupid dad telling me I need to write down my 'feelings'. It was either this or counselling. I don't think any normal counsellor would believe me if I told them my real life. Although it would be funny to see their reaction...damn should have gone for the counselling. Ah well maybe another time. I got dressed quickly and put my hair up into two cute ponytails, not really caring for make-up since it was only school. What's the point in trying?

With that thought I slipped out of my room and went done to the living room where my older brother and my dad were watching TV. That's all of us. My brother is twenty and we always fight, but it's all for fun. When it comes down to it we would always be there for each other as any other sibling. My dad is forty three and looks it. He has a big build; you can see he used to work out. He's tan from always being out in the sun and has a strong jaw with a bit of stubble. He has black hair which is going grey around the edges and green/brown eyes.

My brother is the same. His hair is a bit lighter than our dads, more of a brown like our mum. His eyes are the same colour and he also has a bit of a tan. Neither of them have shaved lately, there's no point they say. Me, on the other hand I take after my mum. Sure I have the same hair as my dad but that's it. My eyes are a light brown shade, which go gold in the light which is cool. I have pale skin and cheeks that old woman would call 'pinch-able'. I'm very short compared to the others, only standing at 5" 3'.

"Hey sweetie you going to school today?" asks my dad. "Yup" I reply popping the 'p'. My brother gives me a surprised look and decides to comment "wow, Steph actually going to school? Where's the camera." "Oh haha you're so hilarious. I just don't want to become an idiot, like you." I reply sweetly.

I currently live in the countryside. We own fifteen acres of land which is full of wildlife since it's like our own private forest. I love it here since it's so secluded although hunters and poachers like to go onto our land. Usually we leave them but some get cocky and think they can kill everything in sight without any trouble, which is where we have to step in. I still go to school which kind of sucks but it's only a fifteen minute drive away. And what helps is that I usually never go. It's never sunny where we live but that actually suits me perfectly since I love anything to do with the cold.

Today I was going to school, which is the first time this month. My attendance was crap and that's just how I like it. My dad doesn't care if I go or not, hell if it were up to him I wouldn't have an education; we would be on the road more.

I went out and decided to walk it since it was a good enough day. The classes droned by endlessly. Once again I questioned why I even came in today. Next thing its dinner time and I decide to go to the canteen for once even thought the food sucks. I swear to god they use dog food to make that crap. I find out a little too late that I have no place to sit....oops. I just stand there and I look like an idiot as I decide where to sit.

I see an empty seat outside where there are some benches you can sit on when it's nice out. I decide to sit underneath the shade of a huge tree and pull out my homework as I start eating my lunch. Hey, why not right? ; Less to do at home.

Suddenly someone walks past me and as if in slow motion he slips and falls right on top of me, spilling his and my food all over us. He looks up with a shocked expression and starts apologising so fast that I can't understand him. I smile timidly and tell him its fine, it wasn't his fault. He doesn't seem to be convinced but gets up anyways. Thank god, I thought I was going to be squashed to death, that boy is heavy!

When we get up we start brushing the food off ourselves and I sneak a peek at him through my eyelashes. Wow...he is one hot guy. He has brown floppy hair which goes into his eyes and the greenest eyes ever. You can see he exercises by the muscles that seem to want to pop out of his top.

When I finally stop checking him out I look to his gorgeous face and see he is smirking. I start blushing and look away. Damn him, making me get embarrassed. All of a sudden he leans in and I freak out. He brings his hand to my hair and I don't know what to do, I freeze. He moves back and explains "you had pasta in your hair" he smiles. "DANNY!" someone screams. The guy who is still too close to me suddenly whips his head around. That's when I see her and her troop. It's the bitch of the school, Betty. She runs over to the man whose name must be Danny and almost jumps him. "Hey baby, what are you doing here?" she asks. She finally looks over at me and her fake smile falters. "Hey there, thanks for looking after my man. I saw everything, I hope you don't go home just because of the mess you look." She says too sweetly but I can see an evil glint in her eyes. She's not pleased that I was talking to 'her man'.

A small girl from her pack of mutts steps up and walks over to Danny. Betty looks annoyed but doesn't say anything about it. "Daniel what are you doing! Are you trying to embarrass me by being near her." She nods over to me. Why that bitch, if she weren't too young I would punch her. She only looks about 15! Daniel glares at her and replies bitterly "Sis, this is none of your business." Oh, so that's why the small girl talked to him like that and Betty didn't mind. He turns to me and says "sorry about that. Maybe you could be normal and actually sit at a table for once." He smirks again. Well there goes the nice Daniel.

I quickly say thanks and half run back into the school, making my way to the bathrooms. "HEY IT WAS A JOKE!" I hear Daniel shout after me. I don't care at the moment; I just want to go home. As soon as I make it into the safety of a cubical I call my brother Jake and get him to pick me up. I am going home, taking a nice bath and then maybe going for a run. I don't need this kind of shit today.
