"Wake up!"

Ugh I especially hate mornings I really do.

After laying in bed for some time I finally get up and get dressed. I grab my running shoes and head out for my morning run.

I play soccer so I have to stay well conditioned. Personally I'd like to say I'm pretty good, but no one even knows its me who's out there playing.

My friends come to most of my games since my mom is busy with work most of the time.

I pop in my headphones and start a nice jog.

We live in California, so by now its
already pretty warm. Well it never cools down actually. Its nothing to unbearable though.

By "we" I mean me, my mom, and my older brother.

My brother Tyson is the opposite of me. He is the cool, popular, football playing jock. He's a notorious player, which I don't personally approve of. He skips class and I always have to cover for him but still manages to get good grades in order to still play. Oh, and everyone knows who he is.

As I turn the corner I speed up my pace. I'm pretty fast.

I mean I'm not the bragging type.

I can see the trees and bushes flying past me as I run. I run this rout every day so i don't even need to look where I'm going. It's second nature.

All of a sudden I run into what feels like a tree. I stumble back but manage to keep my balance.

"Sorry" a deep voice says.

Wait...is it just me or did that tree just talk.

Last time I checked I was still sane.

I look up to see a really tall guy. He looks to be about 21 and really tough. No joke he could be a body builders r a personal trainer.

The man was wearing a simple grey t-shirt that was pulled tight from all of his muscles. He wore blue jeans as well. His arms were crossed over his broad chest and his deep brown eyes were just staring down at me.

"Umm its fine I should've been looking where I was going" I responded shyly.

The guy didn't say anything just stood there looking at me. Almost like he was remembering all my feature and trying to recognize me.

It got awkward very fast. Not to mention he just knocked me straight on my ass.

Since it didn't look like he was going to say anything I started to move to leave. The man didn't make a move to stop me which i was thankful about.

I continued on my run, sprinting back home cutting my route short.
I was home soon enough. As I walked in the door I could hear noises in the kitchen.

Walking in I grabbed a water before heading up to my room for a quick shower.

I quickly rinsed off knowing I was already going to be late for school.
Getting out I dried off and walked over to my walk in closet. i leafed through my many clothes.

Did I mention that we have a lot of money. We live in a mansion practically . My mom insists on buying me everything, especially clothes. I don't even wear half of them.

I pick out a simple t-shirt with our school colors and pair it with my light wash jean shorts. I slip my feet into some black flip flops before heading back into my bathroom.

I half dried my hair and put my slightly wavy locks into a ponytail. Heading back into my room I make sure to grab all of my homework and head downstairs.
