"Morning." I groggily say walking into the kitchen Monday morning. School starts today.

"Morning." My mom says cheerily. Ethan, me and Dad look at each other before looking at mom. "Are you alright?" I ask her.

"I'm fine." She turns around and places my dad lunch on the table.

"You hate Monday's mom." Ethan deadpans. I agree with him.

"I'm just happy today, is it such a crime to be happy for once. Your both going to school for the first time, your father finally going to be selling those house around here we don't need. Can't I be happy?" She starts to cry.

Ethan and I look at each before slowly standing up. "Oh look, Dad, your wife is crying," Ethan says.

"Yeah, bye we have school." We both run out of there. When my mom starts to cry, she gets angry. An angry mother is not a good one to be around.

But it's weird how she been getting so emotional recently.

"Let's go bug," Ethan shouts from my car. I walk forward and climb on the driver's side. Dad showed us the way to our school.

I begin to drive to hell. I look out at the big empty roads and turn to Ethan.

"No no no no no." He starts to shake his head.

"Oh come on," I whine.

"No Elena, no no no, did I Mention no." He says but who am I to listen to him.

"But we're gonna be late Ethan," I say look at the clock that showed 8:25 am. School starts at 8:30 am. 5 mins.

"I don't care." Ethan groans.

"Too bad I can't hear a word you're saying," I say and change the gears and putting my foot down on the accelerator.

"Elena," Ethan shouts.

"Shut up brother," I say.

4 mins later I see the building.

I change the gear again and slow the car down slightly before parking the car. The car skids to a halt.

"I hate you," Ethan whispers.

"Aww, I hate you too brother." I grab my bag and step out. I fix my hair and shrug my leather jacket on. I stand beside Ethan and look out at the students who are looking like they've seen a ghost.

"How bad can this be?" I say.

It's bad. This is really bad.

I already managed to piss off football players girlfriend. I haven't been to one class. But if lunch bell counts as a class then I'm going there.

I walk into the cafeteria and I'm met with student everywhere. "Elena." I turn to the sound of the voice. Amanda.

She sat with her brothers, Ethan and other people. I began to walk over there and pay no mind to any of the people watching me.

Confidence is the key to everything. Even getting guys.

"This girl hungry and wants food," I say as I reach the table. I look at the cute blond guy who has his mouth wide open, I smile at him sweetly. He stands up and moves to sit next to some other blond guy.

I sit down. "Damn." The cute blond one says.

I lean forward and bite my lip and pick up one of his fries, "mind getting me some." I say in almost a whisper he nods and walks off. I shake my head with a smile. Show a guy a smile and make your voice sound like sex coming to from your mouth. They'll do anything for you.
