'the moon loved the sun
so much,
that he died every night
just so she could shine

BEEP! BEEP! BEEP! BE-
i slam i'm palm against the annoying alarm clock that woke me from my sweet slumber. i few more minutes wouldn't hurt right? i could feel my eyelids getting heavy and right when i was about to give in and let sleep take me into its loving arms i feel a small weight collapse on top of me.
"what the....." i mumbled, but it comes out sounding like a man which scares me a little. i hear a small giggle which was muffled by my hair and small hands come into my view.
"hey bear," i force out trying to control my morning man voice enough to not scare my younger brother away.
"heyo gray!" is what i get in return.
very loudly might i add. how is it even possible to be that happy in the morning? i roll over earning an 'oomph' from Cole. finally opening my eyes i see Cole's big blue eyes looking straight at me, full of excitement. i cant tell how long we stayed there but it was obviously a while because we were snapped out of our trance by my alarm clock going off again. i move over to hit snooze again when i look at it properly. 8:40 am, Friday. my eyes widen, probably to the size of saucers.
"crap crap crap," i mumble getting up at the speed of light.
my eyes widen even more when i remember there's a 4 year old in the room that hasn't been introduced to 'bad words'. my family has never been ones to swear, i myself don't swear often because of this i've just gotten used to not swearing at home but my mum is a goodie goodie so she would flip if the word crap even slipped out of my mouth or especially Cole's. honestly i don't see what's so bad about it. i snap my head towards Cole.
"never repeat those words." i say pointing at him as he nods innocently.
"good now shoo i have 20 minutes to get to school!" i almost yell at him.
he stands and scrambles out as i bolt to my wardrobe. i grab a yellow shirt and eased jeans, quickly putting them on before i rush into my bathroom which is connected to my room. i quickly brush my teeth and brush my long blonde hair and giving my lashes a thin coat of mascara. taking a glance in the mirror i approving of my appearance, i run out grabbing my phone, money and shoes then running and almost tripping down the stairs. i grab an apple from the kitchen and grab my keys yelling a quick goodbye, slamming the front door behind me.
heading out into my car i get in and turn it on. i own a pastel yellow mustang. she's a beauty and she's also quite pricey. if i had the choice i would have got a car from the junk yard and fixed her up and i would have been good. i live in a wealthy family. dad is a business man and so is mum. they are kinda snobby about it but i couldn't care less. money doesn't mean anything. if you have enough to buy food and shelter then your good because you can't buy love or happiness. soon enough i'm in front of the school. i quickly check the time and it's 8:58 am. 2 minutes. i got this.
i bolt down the hall to my locker grabbing my english book and small pencil case before slamming it shut. a loud ring echoes through the halls twice indicating the warning bell. shit i must have been daydreaming hella deep to have missed the first bell. i pick up my speed zooming around the corner just to run into something hard.
"watch it nerd," someone growled from above me.
anger bubbles in me. who the hell does this ass think he is. i look up to see Ace Kole. wow today just keeps getting better, god is really feeling me today. where do i even start with this kid. bad boy. brown hair. big brown eyes. absolutely gorgeous. douche.
"how about you watch your mouth and don't be rude," i snap.
i'm not scared of him like everyone else he's rude and probably a big softie on the inside so.
"excuse me?" he says lowly taking a step forward.
"you're excused," i tell him standing up,
"now if YOU would excuse ME i have a class to get to," i shove past him. a hand wraps around my wrist and i pull away knowing it's him. i turn around to face him.
"what?" i raise an eyebrow.
he just stood there and studied my face for a good 30 seconds before i cleared my throat. Ace blinked a couple times like he was breaking a trance and a small smirk grew on his lips.
"what?" i questioned again. all he did was start walking backwards before he turned around and was out of site. i stood there dazed before i remembered i had class.
"crap! right!" i ran towards my classroom opening the door to an annoyed looking teacher.
"miss Jeffery!" Mr Adams scolds, "your late which means i'm going to have to-" i cut him off.
"a detention. i know, i don't care," i head to the desk furthest to the back of the class and put my headphone in and start blasting music.
well, hasn't this been an interesting morning.
