Shattered Wonderland

Chapter 3

The next morning I struggled to get up I was tossing and turning all night I had trouble falling asleep it wasn't until I saw it was 2 in the morning that I forced my self to close my eyes and sleep. Reluctantly I get up and head towards my closet grabbing my favorite pair of dark boyfriend jeans and a light pink oversized sweater. Once dressed I walk over to my vanity letting my hair fall it reaches down towards the middle of my back I huff to get my bangs out of my face my hair has gotten really long maybes it's about time I get a hair cut. Brushing my hair I tie it into my signature messy bun. Feeling a little happier than usual I add a bit of pink lip gloss on my lips. What can I say I might be a little giddy today that doesn't mean I want to stand out at school. Taking one last look I grab my bag and head downstairs.

"Morning," I say grabbing an apple from the fruit basket on the kitchen counter. "Morning," my mom says raising an eyebrow "you seem happy this morning" giving her a kiss on the cheek I smile "I have to go Lizzy is waiting for me" I ruffle my brother's hair on my way towards the front door. "Bye" I close the door.

"So what's up with her?" my father walks in looking at my mother. "I have no idea whats so ever" looking at the closed door. "So Mr.Ethan Parker coffee?" she asks him teasingly. Walking over he gives her a kiss "that would be great Mrs.Parker"

I see Lizzy's car in front of my house I quickly walk over opening the door I let my self plop down on the passenger side. Glancing my way she smirks "and why are you all giddy this morning?" "Oh, nothing," I say looking out the window as we drive off. Parking the car she looks at me "you....my friend have to tell me everything at lunch ok" I just nod at my friend like I said she, not one to stop until she gets what she wants whether that be a boy or having her friend tell her what she's hiding I love her but sometimes she gets on my nerves.

We walk through the crowded hallways and stop in front of my first-period advanced art. She hugs me pulling back she grabs my shoulders "have a fun class....don't get distracted by Mr.collins" she winks at me finally walking towards her class. *sigh* I roll my eyes every girl drools over the art teacher its only been a year since he replaced Mrs.Adams as she decided it was time for retirement. Sure Mr.Collins is hot his short chocolate brown hair always looks nice and his five o'clock shadow frames his jawline nicely not to mention his green eyes that seem to look right through you. And with him being younger than most teachers and pretty well built I see how he can have an effect on all the girls around the school hell even some of our female teachers can't help but drool. I, on the other hand, drool over a totally different person... Jake.

I walk in and take my seat beside the window. Looking out I see a familiar Black BMW pulling into a parking spot. I see an outline I know all too well he walks around to the passenger side and opens the door holding his hand out great I roll my eyes when I see her grinning from ear to ear. My heart clenches who am I kidding.

A loud clap makes me turn my attention to the tall man up front "now class there are still 5 more minutes before the bell rings but seeing how everyone is here" he looks around the room "well get started..... Today we will be working on using light and shadows to make this fruit basket look three dimensional on your canvas however you are only allowed to use gray and white charcoal pencils if you have any question please call me over." with that, he sat down at his desk and the class started sketching away. I've always loved to sketch and with how much I did sketch I got pretty decent at it.

Walking through the cafeteria doors I scan the room and finally spot Lizzy waving at me. I walk towards the table and sit down in front of her she pushes a tray towards me smiling "here I got you your usual" I smile "thanks". "Sooo" she raises her eyebrows I know that look and whats shes asking. But before I could open my mouth someone sits down beside her, grabbing one of her fries Im glad for the interruption. "hey" she said smacking his hand. I have to admit he is kinda hot dark brown hair and chocolate brown eyes and very muscular to my surprise not really my type. Looking questioningly at my friend she smiles "this is my friend Ryan. Ryan this is my best friend  Alice" his eyes look at her then land on me "hi Alice nice to meet you" I meet his eyes "hi, back at you and Ali is fine" he smiles and looks back at my friend "just a friend im hurt Lizzy I thought we had something special" chuckling she winks at me. I roll my eyes at her seems she has him where she wants him I feel a little bad for him hopefully he survives I chuckle at myself as they stay flirting with each other. Finally taking her eyes from him she directs her attention towards me "I was telling Ali that she should come with me to your party this weekend" taking another fry he looks at me smiling "yea you definitely have to come it's going to be crazy fun" shrugging I look at me friend "sure why not" hearing his name being called he stands and walks off with a wave and meaningful look at my friend.
