The Mystery Boy

Chaper 1 : Changes

Packing my last bag. Taking my last look. Smell the last faint smell of the air freshener that my mother would use. Walking down these old squeaky stairs one last time. Oh how I'm gonna miss it. No matter where I look I see her. I see her dancing in the kitchen cooking her amazing food. I see her sitting on the couch reading a book. I see her at the kitchen counters in the mornings with my lunch bag and huge smile on her face.
I never thought that so many little things could mean so much. I jump once I feel a hand on my shoulder. "Hey you okay?" My father asks once he sees me staring off into space of the plain dark hallway.

"Of course why wouldn't I be."

"Well considering the tears running down your face I kinda figured that you wasn't."

I didn't even realize that I had been crying. "I'm fine." I say as I run to the car, throw my bags inside, and put my ear buds in making sure that my music is on full blast. I know that I sounded rude when I was talking to my dad. I know he doesn't really deserve it. He does what he does for me. Its just lately I've been pushing him away. Its also not all my fault his new girl friend (which I hate) always takes him away so I just stay to myself and push everyone away.

I guess I got so lost in thought that I fell asleep because I woke up to my dad shaking me awake. I looked out my window and saw a big house. I have to admit that it was nice it it wasn't home.

After many hours I finally got my bags unpacked and my room how I wanted it. I have to go to bed early because I have school tomorrow. I hop in the shower and then go to bed.

Beep. Beep. Beep.
Ughhh. I hit my alarm plenty of time before it actually stopped. I woke up regretting actually setting my alarm last night. I roll out of bed and put on a dress and heels. I curled my hair. Its my first day I should at least look cute. I get done and I go downstairs.

"Eat your breakfast. I'm taking you to school." Lisa (my step mom) says as I reach the bottom step.

"I'm good just take me." I say.

"You sure?"

"Positive." I say getting I to the car and putting in my ear buds.

We drive to school not saying a word to one another. We finally pull in the driveway. I get out and just keep walking. I feel so many pairs of eyes on me and I hate it. I walk into the building and I look for the office. I swear this place is like a maze because I'm pretty sure I passed locker 172 about a hundred times already. I look around and accidently run into somebody dropping my books and falling over. Well I almost hit the ground but I got caught. I look into the eyes of my savior. He has icy blue eyes that looked straight through me. My whole body shivered.

"Watch where your going next time." He says in a deep cold voice then just walks off.

Well then I think to myself getting on my knees to pick up my books when a pair of hands help me. I look at this guy as he says "I'm sorry about Trey he can be a douchbag sometimes. I'm Nick and you are?"

"Scarlet, hey do you happen to know where the office is?"

"Yes actually follow me." And that's exactly what I did. He waited for me to get my schedule and asked to see it. "Oh sweet."

"What?"

"We have all of the same classes."

"Oh cool."

Nick took me to all of my classes and took me to lunch then I lost him. I just went to grab my lunch and I sat at a empty table. Nick found me and started talking my head off. I look off and look into the same pair of eyes from this morning. I jump and look back at Nick. "Hey I'm gonna grab some water I'll be right back."

"Oh okay."

I walk over to the water station and grab a cup. I choose a random water depenser.

"Not that one." A random voice says. I look over and see Trey.

"Huh?"

"Get water from the first one its better."

"Okay." I get water from the first one and start to walk away when he grabs my shoulder.

"Wait."

"What?"

"I'm sorry about this morning."

I roll my eyes. "Oh I bet you are."

" I am look just listen to me be smart and stay away from Nick."

"And why would I do that."

"He's not who you think he is."

"And how would you know?"

"Well he is my brother."

"Oh... Well I don't know why you supposedly warning me but I can handle myself. Besides he doesn't seem like much of a threat to me."

"Okay, whatever I tried just don't mention this to him. Do whatever you want." And with that he walks away.

Okay I know this book isn't the best yet but we will get there... Hopefully. I'm going to show you what the characters look like. I hope you like it.
