CHAPTER 1
Gwendolyn's POV
BEEP BEEP BEEP
I woke up to my alarms annoying beeping; I quickly glanced at the clock already knowing it read 4:00am. I stretched and climbed out of bed and headed for the bathroom. I quickly did what I had to do and changed in to my work out clothes.
I have woken up this early since I was to go jog and practice my ballet. My mother says it will keep me fit and even if I didn't want to do it, I couldn't defy mother she is a very scary woman when she is mad. I love the fact I have to wake up early and work out I can stretch my muscles also because I can see the sun rise and the moon set.
I walk outside my house and went into a slow jog I ran about 2 miles before I decided to head back I saw the park I used to play at when I was younger it was only when my parents were out of town. They thought it was a inappropriate to play with children of a lower class and had forbidden me from going there, but that didn’t stop me I loved going there the kids from the orphanage and foster homes would play there and I found it fun to ask them questions about their life.
As I neared the park I saw someone who I would never expect to see up so early. His name was Hayden Dolin he has been in every single one of my classes since preschool. He goes to my school on a scholarship and was known as the schools ‘bad boy’. He’s in the skater clique in my school and I’ve had a crush on him since 4th grade.
Even if he did like me my parents wouldn’t approve and neither would my friend. I have always been drawn to him but care too much about what others think to do anything about it. I walked into the fence surrounding the park and walked to the swings I brushed a couple of leaves of before I sat. I swung slowly watching as Hayden did tricks with his skateboard.
He did a couple of ollies and three boneless then a no comply and pressure flip I watched in awe as he preformed those tricks perfectly. I once read a book on skateboarding once that’s why I knew some of the tricks but I would never dare going on a board it was too scary to even think about. Hayden noticed me watching and started to come over. I couldn’t help but stare at him; he has long black silky hair that was longer than most guys, his shocking gray-green eyes that looked blue when he was angry, pink soft lips which have snakebites under them.
I let my eyes wander lower to his white shirt that clung to his chest showing his six pack. “Hey princess what are you doing here?” he called while still walking over. When he reached I stood. He towered over me at 6’2 I’m 5’4 making me have to look up at him. “I could ask you the same I’m just heading home from my jog I take one every morning at this time” I replied. I was truly curious as to why he was awake at 4:30am.
It is dangerous to be out at this time this is a fairly rich neighborhood and there could be a mugger or a rapist out. I knew I shouldn’t have been out either, but if my mother found out I didn’t go I probably never see the light of day again she is very strict about my exercise.”Well I couldn’t sleep last night so I decided to go for a walk and isn’t it a little early for a jog princess?”
I stared at him with a blank look on my face and asked “why do you keep calling me that?” It was starting to get on my nerves but I never let anyone know if they were getting to me one of the things father taught me when I was younger.
“Well Princess, because you have such a perfect life I thought it would make sense to give you the name of someone who has a perfect life.” I stared at him shocked at his words. “Perfect life? Ha! I wish” I snorted. My parents could care less about me only themselves, all my friends are using me because I’m rich and semi-famous and I have a secret no one knows that is killing me.
All that was on the tip of my tongue but I decided to let him think what he wanted. “I’ve got to get home I’ll see you some other time,” I turned to walk away only to have my arm grabbed a second later. “You don’t have to go now it’s only 5:00 I don’t know what you could possibly have to do at this time I know girls take a long time to get ready but school doesn’t start till 7.”
He asked me curiously. I have to go home and practice my ballet which takes an hour then I have to practice the piano leaving me 30 minutes to get ready and try to look my best. Does that answer your question?” I snapped.
I instantly felt bad “I’m sorry I have a lot on my mind right now and I really do have to get home.” He flashed me a nice smile and said “it’s cool I’ll let you go I’ll see you later.” He grabbed his board and started walking away. I went home after a few moments and went into my dance studio I did my warm ups and started practicing my routine for the national ballet competition.
Still not done
