Choices Must Be Made

Chapter 1

Bella's P.O.V

I hate my life. I mean, it's senior year best year blah blah blah. That's bull shit. You have to deal with people. The worst part is getting up early. I mean, who likes mornings? Not me, I wish I could sleep for life. But no... because "my life is made of something" or "I'm here for a reason" well it must be such a God Damn horrible reason, because I just don't see it.

"Bella get out of bed!" My dad yelled from downstairs.

"Okay dad!"

My eyes turned to the clock. 6am. Great. I hate Monday. I crawled out of bed, I made my way to my closet. I pulled out a t-shirt and a pair of yoga pants. Lazy days are also known as Monday. I pulled a couple of bracelets out of my jewelry box. I don't want them to know my secret, so I hide it.

I got up and walked into the bathroom grabbing my phone. I texted Ashton.

'Can I have a ride to school this morning Ash?' Well I already knew he was going to say yes, well he's my best friend so duh. 'Hell yes! Why ask? Just tell me you need a ride. (: I'll be there at 6:45.' I smiled at the text.

Still smiling, I walked into the bathroom. I ducked under the counter, and grabbed my makeup bag and a hair tie. I threw my hair up into a bun. I opened my makeup bag, and took out my mascara. I put it on carefully. I walked out of the loo, heading downstairs. I grabbed my ear buds and grabbed my school bag.

6:30 already wow. Do I really take that long? I took a seat on the couch in the living room. I pulled out the remote, and turned Switched at Birth on. After all, my dad is at work, so why not?

I fiddled with my thumbs.

Wow. I'm tired. My eyes flicked to the clock. 6:43 oh shit. I turned off the tv, grabbed my bag and headed out the door. I opened the door, I heard it click behind me. I slowly walked up to the sidewalk. I pulled out my phone and clicked it on. 6:45. Where is he? Just in that thought, like on que, Ashton pulled up. I walked up to the car and opened the passenger door. ''Hey love.

" He smiled. "How are you?"

"Hi Ashton." I smiled. "I'm great thank you."

"That's okay." He smiled and pulled out.

"Thank you for the ride to school I appreciate it."

"Don't mention it." He smiled again.

"How have you been Ash? I haven't talked to you in a while."

"I'm great, thanks." I nodded. "And Calum?"

He just shrugged. "I don't know honestly."

I just nodded. I looked down. I saw a Starbucks drink in Ashton's cup holder. I picked it up and took a sip of it.

"You can have the rest if you'd like." I jumped.

I looked over to Ashton. His eyes were still on the road."No, it's okay." I took one last sip and put it down.

I looked up to see my school. I sighed at the sight. Ashton turned his head in response. "You okay?" He looked me dead in the eyes. "Yeah, fine." I lied. "Okay." He responded in his Aussie accent. I smiled.

He pulled the car to a stop. He turned to look at me again. He opened his arms. I smiled and hugged him. "Text me if you need something." I nodded and kissed his cheek. "Bye Ash. I love you" I sighed "Awh I love you too!" I pulled away and opened the door. I looked back at him and waved. He waved back. I got out and shut the door, I watched him drive away. I love Ashton. He's like my older brother.

I rushed off to my first class. I only have two miniutes! I rushed through the halls. I finally stopped at my class room. The bell rang right when I walked in. I took a seat in the back of the room.

"Alright class, today we have two new students. Lucas and Lukas. Both spelt different. Please come to the front of the class."
