~CHAPTER ONE~

~EMILY'S POV~

*BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP*

I threw my alarm clock across the room and it finally stopped beeping.

"Thank the lords. Stupid alarm. I swear I will SMASH that damn object to bits."

"WAKE UP EMILY! DON'T WANNA BE LATE FOR THE FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL!"

I heard my mom screaming at the top of her lungs while I groaned.

"URGHHHH. 5 more minutes shall do"

I closed my eyes and smiled a bit then drifted off to sleep again.

"WAKE UP EMILY! NOW. AND I MEAN IT!"

She came into my room looking a bit angry. She marched down the stairs and I buried my head in my pillow. I threw my blanket over my head and groaned loudly then sighed. I had dreaded for this day to come. Why? It was the first day of school.

-During the middle of the school year. It was bad enough that I was going into a new school but during the middle of the semester?

"C'MON."

I just didn't want to wake up. I wanted to stay in bed all day and just ignore everything. I burrowed my head in my pillow and felt my eyes closing. Finally, my mom had exploded and I quickly jumped out of my bed and headed for the bathroom.

"OKAY OKAY MOM ILL BE DOWN IN 10 MINUTES. JEEZ. CALM DOWN!"

I yawned then stood in front of the mirror. My face was bloated from sleeping late and I splashed cold water on my face to somehow minimize the bloating.

"GREAT. BLOATED FACE. DAMN IT"

I brushed my long curly brown hair then twisted my bangs and pinned it with a bobby pin. I curled my hair but on the end and sprayed a tiny bit of hairspray. I quickly washed my face and brushed my teeth then headed to my closet.

"hmm.. what should I wear.. this? that? this? hmm.. Nope..Nahh.. wai- perfect."

It was a white-laced crop top with a jean vest with black skinny jeans. I decided to wear my white TOMS along with it too. I put on light eyeliner and mascara (I wasn't a fan of heavy makeup) then stood in front of the mirror.

"okay.. it's fine! you'll be great! just meet new friends and -oh what the hell am I talking about. it's gonna suck"

I plopped down on my bed and threw my stuffed animal across the room. I let out a loud sigh then slung over my backpack and grabbed my iPhone and headed downstairs.

"hey mom"

"got everything you need Hun?"

"Yup! Everything. By the way mom, any chance I can pass off as being sick today?"

"hahaha ohhh Emily your too funny Hun now hurry along or you'll be late"

I groaned and walked past the door. Right before I headed off, my golden retriever, Louis, came along wagging along his tails.

"Now now Louis, I would love to take you to school but I can't!"

I petted his head and he started whimpering. He was panting and wagged his tail with the leash in his mouth. His eyes were glistening and I chuckled.

"I'll take you on a walk after school! Kay Louis? Now, be a good boy and go inside!"

I pointed at the door for him to go inside and he sadly trotted back in.

The new school was only about a minute away. It was a little scary that I was going to be in a whole new different environment without anyone to talk to. I missed all my friends back home already and swallowed a huge lump that formed in my throat. I let out a big sigh then kicked a can on the side of the street. I was walking when suddenly I heard a loud honk and a boy yelled at me
