Burning Ice

Chapter 1-A Typical Raven Day

AN: Hi everyone I just wanted to encourage people to write comments and feedback no pressure though so don't feel pressured ;) I really do want to be able to improve the story. Thanks ;)

As I pick through an apple tree I feel a hand brush against mind. Warmth and love. I reach for it but it suddenly disappears.

...

I adjust to my surroundings, my room is a mess. Just like always. I shut my eyes but my inner-self scolds me for it. "Get up, Get up GET UP!" no just five more minutes please I tell myself yawning and digging into my warm pillow. "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO, you’re going to be late for school. Did you forget you have your speech today?" Panic surged through my body. SHOOT! Oh my god I'm not ready, did I practice enough my hands become cold and sweaty. I take no notice rubbing them on my blanket and flinging myself on the cold floor. I ran into the bathroom and prepare for school.

After about 10 minutes I'm finally in the kitchen. I yank the fridge door open and digging through it, find nothing of my interest. "Hurry up mister picky pickle! Your bus will leave without you and you'll be waiting at the bus stop again." I know! Fine I open the freezer and grab the only thing we have that qualifies as a quick breakfast. I open the bag to fast and two of the blueberry waffles slip out and fall on the floor. Oh come on. "Are you really that stupid, Raven?" Shut up! I grab the waffles and throw them in the trash. I feel a tinge of guilt for wasting food. Oh, no time, I'll be hearing it from my dad later. "You bet you will you idiotic klutz!" I sigh. You grab two more waffles and place them on the plate. Will that even be enough I thought? Doubting myself I grab another waffle and stuff it into the microwave. I put it in for 55 seconds and run to the front to pack my bag. "Seriously, you didn't pack it yesterday! No more fan fictions!" I mentally slap my head. Oh give me a break. My day is obviously going to be a total disaster.

*Beep

Breakfast is served. I walk to the kitchen already doubting my day and grab the waffles from the microwave. I made a 3 layer sandwich and put in cream cheese as the filling. Surprisingly it actually tastes good. "Check the time and hurry, hurry, hurry!" It's 8:15am but school starts at 9:00am. I should be fine. I'm just scared about not having enough time to rehearse.

Stuffing the last bit of waffle in my mouth I slip my plate into the sink and rinse it with some water. Done! I grab my bag and swing it over my shoulder. Opening the door I leave. Normally I check over my things but I'm in a rush. Walking out the door a blast of cold winter air hits my head. Burr! My jacket, uh-oh! OH well not like I'll die. With complete doubt I walk as fast as I can to the bus stop.

The doors open and I walk out of the bus. I really should have just went back for my jacket but considering I live in the 20th floor of an apartment with the slowest possible elevator it was either school or being cold. I grimly walk to the front of the school when suddenly a cute looking guy walks down in my direction. Darn it! "Move it you’re over-reacting again, and don't you dare make that goofy smile." The guy passes my way and stops. I stand there. Suddenly I'm not so cold.

"Are you coming?" Oh how embarrassing, I thought as heat rushes through my cheek. I rush to the door half running, half walking. Oh total humiliation.

"Thanks." I mutter. He nods in response. Since my school has two doors I refrain from a round 2 and rocket up the stairs and open the door at lightning speed not even turning around for a second glance. Sooo embarrassing I thought. I began making my way towards my locker when I start smiling like an idiot. And no it wasn't because of a him or a guy. In front of me I spotted my friend Melody.

"Boo!" I shout as I approach her from behind.

"Hey Raven!" My friend started laughing as I pouted from a failed attempt to scare her. "Hey it's not my fault you’re so adorable." she replied pinching my cheek.
