Chapter 1~

unknown POV

For months now I had been lying awake at night, just thinking. Not just about anything , about someone and tonight was the same as any other, just lying there think about her.

Lumi's POV

"uugh" I groaned in frustration tossing and turning, pulling the cover tighter around my body and the pillow closer to my head. For months now I had found it impossible to sleep, incoherent thoughts plagued my mind and it was impossibly hot in the room. It had become that hot that I'd come to the point of wearing only shorts and a tank top every night.

I hated wearing shorts. Especially shorts as short as these, but now I've come to actually like sleeping in them, it was more comfortable.

I rolled over more trying to get more comfortable only to fall harshly onto the floor instead. Giving up I turned on the light and went across the room to the window, going around my bed in the middle of the room. The room was small and it only took 3 large strides to get from one side of the room to the other. I didn't much like the room, it had dark grey walls and a large window in the middle that looked over a very popular park, it was perfect for any creep to look into and it happened to be the window to a 17 year old girls room.

Sitting under the window sill was my favorite place to be. Sitting down I rest my head on my legs, that were now covered in goose bumps, letting my dark blonde fringe cover my face.

~~~~~~~~~~~

It's Wednesday.

I woke up to my alarm blaring, discovering I had fallen asleep on the floor on accident.

" SHIT!" I swore once I realize I had almost slept in.

The time read 6:45 and I was meant to get up at 6:30 to get ready for school. Knowing I would only be later, and more panicked, if I did so, I didn't get breakfast. Rushing instead to grab the bag I got too lazy to pack last night.

"GREAT Just GREAT!" I mutter hopping on my socks while grabbing a white button up shirt.

Being late was something I hated and often yelled at my older brother, River, for. Seeing me now he'd probably laugh yet knowing him, he'll probably just be getting out of bed now, without a care in the world.

That's the thing with us too we "look like twins" people say but we have the complete opposite of personalities, we complement each other almost. Although it was still insulting to be told we looked like twins, especially seeing as he is 3 years older than me, him being 20.

By the time I had; showered, got changed, put everything in my bag, done the dishes, my teeth, my hair and gone toilet it was 7:30, time to head to school. Grabbing my shoes and bag on the way out I jumped in the front seat of the car outside.

"Someones excited for school" A voice chuckled, "You even forgot how to button a shirt."

Confused as to what was meant by that I looked down to see my shirt lifted in the oddest of places as I had missed the top 3 button and somehow put the bottom button mid way up.

"Shut up Orion. I was in a rush, ok?" I huffed out slightly embarrassed at my wardrobe malfunction, which I got to fixing immediately.

"Well you should fix it before you get seen." Orion replied his eyes narrowing slightly. "I'm guessing you didn't have breakfast then?"

"Ho-? What? no I got it..." I stuttered, "Is this bully Lumi day?!"

Orion had been a friend of mine for years now and despite the age difference of 12 years we get on really well. And I am not going to lie I have had a crush on him for a little while now. We met through my mum and I later found out he works basically next door to the school I was to be joining. After he found out he insisted he'd take me.

I had been transferred to this school, by my request, so I could get a fresh start in hopes it would help ease my anxiety that had built up for 3 years at my last school to the point I was rarely in classes anymore. It's been 2 months since I started, although it was intimidating I had gotten into a new routine. I had a belief that as long as I didn't get into the habit of missing classes again then my anxiety might not get as bad as it was before.

"Well as hard as it is not to, no." He laughed, "But you need to take better care of yourself. How about we stop by some where to eat?"

"Yes! And you know exactly where to go!" I tell him.

The journey to school was a long one, so I was thankful it had the fun of Orion. His humor knew no ends and his sarcastic comments and risky driving made the mornings enjoyable. I ironically don't actually know where he works, I've just been told by him it's next door to the school so I assume he means one of the bars or theaters nearby, which explains his humor and suit.

Orion wasn't a bad looking guy either so getting a job in places like that wouldn't exactly be hard for him. He had black hair that was shaved down a bit at the sides and his eyes were a dark chocolate brown.

On the way to school like he said we stopped by MacDonalds. I had only been going to this school for 2 months now, I haven't even seen half the school yet, but I swear we have stopped here at least 6 times by now. Orion ordered himself a coffee seeing as he had breakfast and I ordered pancakes with sausages.

We had travelled 30 miles which had taken about an hour drive, and an hour 10 when you take a Macdonald stop.

Once we arrived at school it's 8:40 and school is pretty abandoned, with very little people walking about. Orion's worked started before the average time everyone turned up for school so I was ridiculously early every morning. A small price to pay I guess.

"Do I need to walk you inside? We all know what you're like with your clumsiness." Orion joked raising an eyebrow at me.

"Ha ha very funny, more like someone needs to go with you stop you scaring people." I laughed back, joking about his height.

I'm not gonna lie, if I met Orion on the street and didn't know him I would definitely be scared. He towered over people at his over 6 foot height and he had a bad case of resting bitch face.

"Oh sure!" He sarcastically replied.

I stepped out the car and he leaned into the steering wheel of the car his brown eyes meeting my blue ones.

"Have fun! Don't get in trouble, trouble maker!" He yelled the last part through the window as he sped off to where ever he goes.

Like the child I am, I stuck my tongue out after him, even when I'm aware he won't be able to see me.

Once in school I navigate my way to the ICT corridor for my reggie class. Mrs smith is always there early so I just walk in. Taking a seat in one of the 30 or so desks spread around the room, all of which face Mrs smith and each equipped with an old computer, as that's all the school could buy.

School start at the normal time of 9 and no one really shows up till ten to so I just sit there, sometimes on my phone and other times helping around the room for whatever classes are going to take place.

~~~~~~~~~~~

So that's chapter one, boring I know but we need to build up. The spicy stuff comes after okay? Also I'm gonna start chapter two now cause why not? I also based Orion's looks on Robert Downey Jr. and made him tall just to take the piss cause Robert is a small bean.
