McKenna's POV

"McKenna! You have to get up sweetie! It's the first day of school!"

I rolled over to face my clock and it read 8:45. Today was the first day of High School as a Junior. "Yay" I mumbled very sarcastically. I rolled onto my butt and yawned. School didn't start for another hour but might as well get up now.

I stood up and stretched out then opened up my closet. I grabbed my favorite leggings and my long black boots. I got my pink knee high socks and put them on under my boots which covered up most of the socks until an inch shows. I went through my shirts and found a plain white one. I grabbed my favorite short lace-up skirt and fastened it to my waist so it was over the shirt.

"McKenna! Breakfast!" My dad yelled from downstairs.

"Okay! I'm on my way down!" I yelled back.

I walked down the stairs with my high-heeled boots thumping down on every step. But they weren't so high-heeled that I couldn't walk or that I would trip on. I stepped down onto the tile of the kitchen and my dog, Oreo, jumped up and needed attention.

"What time is Ethan picking you up for school?" My dad questioned while getting my breakfast on my plate.

"About 9:15 or 9:20" I replied looking at my iPhone 5s scrolling through Instagram.

"Okay." My dad shrugged and picked up his briefcase and put it beside his chair.

Dad always cooked the best breakfast. He wasn't so good with dinner but it's not like he burnt everything. It was still good but breakfast was heaven on a plate. I ate my strawberry waffle and my dad left for work.

I looked at my phone and the time read 9:00 so I went to the bathroom to wash my face, brush my teeth, and do my hair. I splashed the water on my face and squirted the soap onto my hand and rubbed it on my face. After I rinsed, I brushed my shining white teeth. I pulled a chunk of hair from each side of my head and pulled them back. I took two bobby pins and pinned the two strands down. Then applied pink lip gloss to match my sapphire blue eyes. Along with mascara.

I read the clock again and it said 9:10. Okay, I'll go pack up. I went to my room and put my binder inside. Which had everything I needed. Once I packed everything up, I went downstairs to watch the last 7 minutes of Doctor Who before I left. The TV turned on and I resumed my show. When there was 2 minutes left of the show, I heard a honk from a car. I turned off the TV and got my stuff.

I passed the picture of my mom holding me as a baby. I missed her so much. It's almost been 4 years since she died when I was 12 of cancer. I sighed and went outside the door to find Ethan sitting in his black convertible. Ethan was my very best friend. In fact my only friend I had. He saved me from being friends with the popular girls when I first moved to Miami.

"Hey!" I said in my high-pitched voice

"Hey Kenzie!" He embraced me as I entered the car.

I tell him to call me Kenna for a nickname but he likes Kenzie so I just go along with it.

Ethan's POV

I got up at 8:30 so I could pick up McKenna at 9:15. I rolled over to sit on my bed. I got a Nike tee shirt and some shorts. I put on tennis shoes and put the front of my hair up. I have normal guy hair, I just put the front part of my hair straight. I walked downstairs and got a strawberry Nutella sandwich on white bread. I sat down to watch the last 15 minutes of the last episode of the season of Doctor Who. I looked at my iPhone 5s and it was 8:45 so I had just enough time.

*15 minutes later*

I turned off the TV and got into my black convertible. I put my school stuff in the back and started the car. I can't believe I'm a Junior starting today!

I'm so excited. I was on my way to my only friend's house: McKenna Walker. She has been my best friend ever since she moved here in Miami when she was in 4th grade. I saved her from the popular girls, I didn't want a new girl to be turned into a bitch. I've been here when she went into Junior High, when her mom died, all the time I've been there for her.

I turned onto McKenna's street and parked in front of her house. Beep beep! I honked at her. She came out of the door with her sapphire blue eyes and pink lip gloss with her little black skirt. She was as pretty as always.

"Hey!" she said while climbing into the front.

"Hey Kenzie!" I said embracing her in my arms. She hates me calling her Kenzie, she told me to call her Kenna for a nick name. I love the name Kenzie but she gave me that look so I corrected myself.

"Kenna. Hey Kenna.." I mumbled.

"Thank you"

McKenna's POV

I climbed into the car and Ethan started the car and looked at me with his brown eyes and brunette hair. He was so adorable. We drove through the drive-thru of Starbucks.

"I would like a grande vanilla frappucino made with cream instead of milk with caramel drizzle and an iced mocha with whipped cream please." Ethan said into the inter com.

"Okay that will be $7.67 at the window please" the lady said back

"Thanks" I smiled at Ethan and we drove to the window.

We got our drinks and drove to school which was only 10 minutes away. When we arrived, we saw

Kelly. The most popular girl in school.
