Another Day; Another Beginning

A New Beginning -Chapter 1-

My name is Amber White, and I am alive. Everyday I wake up and remember to smile. I live everyday as if it's the last. I live in the moment because tomorrow is not promised, especially for me.
I am 17 years old, I have three older brothers and two little sisters. The three older brothers are triples, there all 18 and run the school. All athletes. The oldest is Jack, the middle kid is Jason, and the youngest is James. Then my two little sisters, Sophia and Gracie. Sophia is eight and Gracie is five.
My four best friends are; Cassie May, Chase Warner, Chandler May, and October Park.
Cassie and Chandler are brother and sister; Cassie's 17 and Chandler is 18. I've known them since middle school. There not bad kids but people don't go out of there way to mess with these two.
Chase is 17. I'm closest to him, we've known each other since We were in dippers. We known everything about each other and are often told we look like a couple that has been dating for years. His older brother, Richard is 18 and the school bad boy.
October Park is the girl everyone wants to be. She's 17, smart, funny, drop dead gorgeous, super shy and is super super geeky. Like scary geeky. I met her in sophomore year, she punched the schools biggest bitch and we were instantly friends.

*Beep Beep Beep*
I groan, gosh how I hate that sound, I click my alarm clock off and look up at my ceiling. Unlike most kids there ceilings are plan white with nothing on them, mine is mint green. I painted it myself, had paint in my hair for a week but it was worth it. I also have a thousand drawn on, written on, painted on, glued on, bubble lettered quotes, pictures, and posters. Some have three words others are short story's. I love them all. They line my walls as well.
I smile. I'm alive and I'm ready to take on the world. Today I'm a senior and this year I'm going to to be reckless teenager. Well kinda reckless, not too reckless. And I'm still gonna do my homework.
But why, oh why must it be at 5 am??? I groan and get up, I take a quick shower and do a dark green smoky eye for my make up. I put on a green tank top and black skinny jeans and of course my green converse. And my signature black leather jacket. I take one more look around my room. My desk has textbooks, a laptop and a thousand papers with doodles and quotes on them my walls have posters, drawings and even more quotes. I think I might have a problem with quotes. I grab my laptop and school bag and head down stairs. My oldest brother is studying for school. I don't know why or how because it's the first day but that's my brother. The nerd just don't tell anyone. The other two are eating cereal.
"Hey sis" James says. I smile. Jason waves and goes back to his food. That boy eats anything and everything.
I ruffle Jacks hair, "You okay there brother dear?"
He grumbles and bats my hand away, "I'm fine I just don't want to fail. "
"School hasn't even began." I roll my eyes.
He glares at me, "Shut up, nerd"
"Yeah I'm the nerd, I just have good grades." I say nerd in quotations.
"You also love books." He fires back.
"And quotes." Adds James.
"Shush up James. I don't need anything from the peanut gallery." I roll my eyes. "Anyway, as lovely as you all are I'm going to school. See ya guys, good luck at football."
"We don't need luck lil sis." Smirks Jason. "Don't you need a ride?" He asks .
"Well look who's decided to join the conversation. And no thanks. Taking the mustang."
He rolls his eyes but then his eyes go wide. The other two are looking at me like I'm crazy. He then drugs and puts his bowl in the sink.
"Bye mom!!!" I yell up the stairs.
"Bye honey, have a good day at school!!! Did you take your medicine?!?"
"Yes!!" I run back to the kitchen and Jack hands me my pills. I take them and head outside to my car. Jason does the same and gets into his Jeep and leaves. He usually rides with the other two. I wonder why he's not.
Oh well. I'll ask him later. I get into my car I absolutely love my car. It is a 1969 Ford Mustang Boss 429 Fastback, it's a deep violet purple with black leather interior. It is sexy as can be and a lot of people are surprised when a girl steps out of it. I love hot rods, American muscle, and really anything that deals with old cars. I hate now a-day Fords. In 1985-1988 Ford trucks started to suck, that's just my opinion.
I pull into my best friend Chases' house. His house is bright baby blue. With a lavender door. Wild like himself.
He comes bouncing down the stairs and stops and looks at my car, his jaw falls.
I roll my eyes and shout out the car window, "Close your mouth and get in the car."
He walks over and gets in, "Explain!?!"
"Explain what?" I give him an innocent look and bat my eyelashes for effect.
"The car!!! You haven't been in this car in four years." He pauses, "Since the accident."
"I know but since it's still a new year I decided to have a new me, do wild and crazy things." I grin at him as we stop and a light. He looks completely shocked.
I chuckle softly, "Babe it's not the end of the world, it's just a car."
"It isn't just a car Amber White it's your baby!!!" Chase yells at me.
"I know but like I said; new me. This is the first step." I wink at him and as the light turns green I hit the gas and speed to school. And sadly we arrive shortly after.
I park and grab my bag and get out. Chase slowly does the same. There's a few guys standing on the wall looking at my car and me. I smirk, one of the guy standing there is Richard Warner. The school play boy and bad boy. I mean my brothers are players to but this guy has girls falling at his feet begging him to sleep with them. It's disgusting to say the least. The biggest bitch of them all, Julianna is always hanging on his arm, or trying to. There 'dating' and I use that term loosely because she cheats on him and he cheats on her, so I have no idea what they are. But any girl that tries being anything with Richard is left with a broken heart. And sometimes a slap from Julianna.
One of the guys standing next to him, I think Tyson, wolf whistles, "Damn baby, can you drive me like you drive that car?"
Chase puts his arm around my shoulders and I say, "No sweetie, that's what I have Chase for," I pause and look him up and down and pull a look of disgust, "And he is so much better than you."
The other guy rolls his eyes and smacks Tyson on the head, "Idiot."
Richard grins, "Is she always going to stick up for you?"
Chase rolls his eyes, "Fuck off Richard."
"Wow, Richard, I think your brother finally grew some balls."
Chase whispers under his breath so only I hear, "Eat my ass with a straw." I try and hold in my laugh, I really do. But it fails. The boys give me weird looks. Looking at them makes me laugh harder.
I look at Chase and he smirks, "Let's go inside before I die."
We go to our home room. The bell rings and five minutes later Cassie walks in. I don't know why our teacher even tries anymore.
"Mrs. May, why are you late? Not a good way to start the first week of school."
"Well you see, I saw a flying unicorn and decided to follow it instead of coming to class because I just don't care." She smirks and plops down in the chair next to me. The teacher roll his eyes.
I fist bump her and wait for the teacher to turn away. We are doing last minute changes to the schedule. Mine didn't change. We have P.E. third period, history fourth, and English in sixth together. I look at Cassie's and we have first period Calculus, history fourth, and Chemistry fifth.
"We all have history fourth. Yesss!!" Chase says
"So we're not going to be doing anything that period." I say.
Cassie scoffs, "Not like you do anything in history anyway."
I laugh, "Not true I do enough to pass. And nothing more."
The bell rings. Me and Cassie go to Calculus. Math first period. What fun this will be.
I sit in the back row by the window. Cassie sits next to me. Richard and his group walks in and he sits right in front of me with Tyson in front of Cassie and the other guy, Max maybe? Well, no name sits on her right. Great, this is gonna be a long day.
