The Golden Girl and the Bad Boy

Chapter 1- Early Rising

Lilly's POV:

The familiar sound of the ringing of my alarm clock woke me up early this morning. After hearing the sound I felt my dainty body hit the ground with a thud. I slowly picked myself up and checked my bed hair in the mirror to find that my face was covered in black marker.  Hurriedly I ran to my small onsuite bathroom to try to wash it off only to find out it was permanent marker. Great I was starting out at my new school as a joker.

After trying to remove the marker off my face for the 100th time and having a shower while listening to my favourite hits, I ran to my cupboard to find myself a suitable outfit for my first day. I settled for a baby blue crop top with white ripped jeans and a pair of All-Stars. I quickly ran downstairs to find my brother, Carter, sitting at the marble island and my mom standing at the stove preparing a gourmet breakfast. 

I quietly tip-toed up to my younger  brother and ruffled his newly cut and gelled hair and hugged my mother from behind while placing a gentle kiss on her cheek.  After saying goodbye to my brother and my mother I grabbed my Audi car keys and bag and ran straight to the front door. Finally reaching my car I hopped in, found the GPS, typed in the coordinates and started on my route to school.

After a mostly quiet ride I slowly stopped at a stop street, and when I looked up to my right, I noticed a boy around the age of seventeen leaning against the garbage bin with a knife in his upper arm. Ignoring the anxious feeling in my stomach I cautiously got out the car and made my way around the back of the car until I was only a few meters away from him.  There lay one of the most beautiful looking boys I had seen in the seventeen years of my existence.  There the boy sat with not a single emotion shown on his face, his eyes facing the ground.  Slowly and waringly he slowly lifted his face and his eyes travelled up the length of my body until finally reaching my eyes. By the time his eyes reached mine, I felt completely self-concious and could feel the blush creeping up my neck. I stared deeply into his hypnotizing blue eyes that were now staring straight back into mine.  After a few minutes of staring at each other I saw recognition flash through his eyes and he suddenly broke eye contact and then darted away. 

After realising what happened I stood there dazed and the faint feeling of a hand on my shoulder brought me back to reality.  Slowly I turned around to be met with a sparkling pair of green eyes staring back at me.  There stood a girl around my age with blonde curls cascading down the front of her body to her waistline. Slowly a grin spread across her face until she doubled over in laughter.  Wondering what she was laughing about I snapped my fingers in front of her doubled over figure and slowly she began to stand upright again.

"Hi, my name is Maria.  And you are?" the blonde girl, Maria, asked.

"I'm Lilly.  If you don't mind me asking, but why did you start laughing?"

"You seem to have a bit of marker on your face."

"Oh, yeah....um, I woke up like this.  My stupid brother must have been wanting to make my first day absolutely horrible," I replied embarrasingly.

"Don't worry, I have hand sanitizer in my bag." Maria said while carefully reaching into her bag and pulling out a purple bottle.

Slowly applying the sanitizer to my face and removing the black marker, I asked Maria which school she went to, and fortunatly she went to Fareland.  She then proceeded to offer to show me around.  I politely accepted and offered her a ride to school.

Only 5 kilometers later, we stopped in front of  a huge silver gate with the schools crest on it.  Beyond the gates stood a beautiful castle like building.  Looking at Maria in confusion, she slowly confirmed my thoughts of this actually being my new school.  After parking my car, Maria led me towards the office so that I could get my timestable and find my locker.  The lady at the front desk with the name of "Madge" politely greeted us and handed me all of the things I would need for the school year. Then we set off to find my locker. 

After running around, we finally found my locker with only ten minutes to spare before class started. As we slowly approached locker 105, I saw a familiar figure standing against the locker with his arms crossed. As I opened the locker an orange liquid poured on me from above.  Standing there shocked stood the boy from earlier this morning with a blonde barbie doll standing next to him.  His face spared no emotion while hers were staring daggers into my soul. She harshly kissed the boy's lips before pulling away from him and approaching me with a sly smile on her face.

Coming up to my ear she shrieked, "If you come as close to Liam as you did this morning, you and Maria will both be done."

Standing there opened mouthed I looked over at the boy who's name must be Liam to see that he looked at her with absolute hatred. Liam slowly started clenching and unclenching his fists and then ran staright towards the barbie doll.  Just as he was about to make contact with her I put myself between the raging bull and the barbie doll.  Suddenly Liam's force collided with my body, making me slip on the orange goo and making us both make contact with the floor. As soon as I saw the postion we were in my heart rate sped up at his closeness. He was inches above me with his arms on each side of my head (in the push up position) and his lips were parted and only centimeters from mine. Suddenly he turned his face and stared into my deep dark brown eyes and slowly inched forward, and I  started closing my eyes waiting for the touch of his lips on mine but when I opened my eyes his face was even further away now.  He was still staring at me, but this time his face was filled with amusement and his lips were pulled into a smirk. Slowly he leaned forward again but this time he kissed my jaw just below my ear and whipered in a low and seductive voice,"Hi I'm Liam, nice to meet you princess."

After hearing these words I pulled my head back and to my surprise he was already standing with his hand in front of him, waiting for me to pull myself up as teachers and students scurried past us in a hurry to get to their classes on time.  Reluctanly I took his hand and after standing up, I found the urge to hold his hand for a few seconds longer before dropping my arm to the side of my body.

Liam looked down at me with a look admiration and then ran down the hallway. As I turned around to head to the bathroom to freshen up I felt the feeling of butterflies in my stomach. As I kept on walking I felt as though I was being watched, and when I turned around to check I caught a smiling Liam watching me make my way down the hallway.  For some reason I knew this wouldn't be the last time seeing Liam.
