Slow And Steady

Chapter:1

Beep Beep Beep Beep.. My alarm kept ringing. I groaned and tilted my head to see the digital numbers in red. '8:00AM'

I snuggled into my thick blanket to keep myself warm until I feel a huge pressure on top of my head. ' Tysoooo, get off of me' I said to my excited brown 4 year old boxer who was hurting me because of his weight. Tyson, my lovely big boxer whose on top of me.

I shifted to the side and removed my blanket off me. A cool breeze hit me, as I looked at my window, open wide. I walked up to it looking out into the city of London. ' What the hell? I thought I closed the win....JASOOON!' I shouted to my brother.

I stomped straight Into his bedroom on the other side and attempted to open it. It was locked, of course. I knocked continually and harder it time, no reply.

I walked back to my bedroom and went straight into the shower. I stripped off my hoodie and sweat pants and turned the shower on. Warm water hit me as I wet my whole body. I washed my hair with my favorite cranberry scent shampoo. I scrubbed myself and rinsed off.

I rapped the towel around me and ran Into my walk in closet. Today was the first day of school since summer were over and I didn't know what to wear. I ended up picking my denim jeans and a white  tank, with a red jumper over it. I slipped on my converse and blow dried my hair. When it was completely dry, I tied it into a high tight pony to keep my hair away from my face and neck.

Stood in front of the mirror and took in myself. I see a fair, seventeen year old brunette who's about 5'8 looking right back at me.

' AJ, JASON, MARNY breakfast is served'. I hear my mom call out. Marny was my five year old sister and Jason was my eighteen year old brother. I grab my bag and walk down the stairs. I see eggs, ham, toast, sausages, ad butter on my plate. 'Yuuummm' I say while taking a seat on the dining table.

Half of my breakfast is over when Jason walks in and the sent of cologne fills in my nostrils. He sits without a word and eats his toast and egg.

When my mother goes back into the kitchen, I whisper ' you can't keep going out late at night and coming back from MY window.' He looks at me, and then at my busy mother. ' I have too, please, if I come from my window, mom and dad might be able to hear me, And I really don't want to risk it.' he pleads.

I sigh and nod. ' but you can't leave the window open, you have GOT to close it, it's like SO cold in the mornings' 'Deal' he says with a smile.

I finish my breakfast and run to my bedroom and brush my teeth. I run back down, take my bag and walk to Jason's car after saying my goodbye's. I sit in front and he starts to drive. We sit in comfortable silence.

When we reach school I get off and walk to my class. Everyone in the class are among groups talking, laughing, even shouting.

'AJ!!!', a familiar voice shouted in my ear as I entered the class. 'MELLLL! You have GOT to stop doing that!' I turned behind to see blonde hair and piercing blue eyes. 'Well,being your best friend,I can do anything I please,' she teased while sending me a wink,and ruffling my hair. Oh no she didn't. 'MELLISAAAA you get back here now!" I exclaimed when she ran out of class,realizing she's already in deep trouble.

Being the athlete she is,she sprinted through the benches and out the room. I ran as fast as I could and went to the door and took a quick left to follow my annoying best friend.

As I turned left,I crashed into something like a pillar and stumbled back I moved my hair out of my face and looked to the....Oh..Boy?

His curls were pushed off if his face,revealing the creases forming on his forehead,showing his clear annoyance. Hmm. Okay there.
