I woke up to the sound of my sister well foster family sister banging on my door. "Fifteen minutes 'till school!" She informed me as she walked past. Shoot! I had slept in. I jump out of bed and pull on my clothes. I grab for my brush but it's not on my night stand. "Shoot, shoot, shoot!" I growl and start searching my room. Finally I find it under a pile of clothes and run to the mirrior. I brush out my long, smooth, red hair and pull it back into a pony tail. I grab my back pack and run downstairs.

My plan was to run straight out to my car but I'm stopped when I reach the kicthen. My foster mother, Maggie grabs the back of my back pack as I run by, and I'm jerked backwards. "Whoa, whoa, whoa. Where do you think you're going without eating breakfast."

"I'm late." I say darting for the door again, but I am jerked back again. "Let go I'm running late I need to go."

"Not until you eat your breakfast." She says and directs me to a big plate of toast. Then she watches while I cram it down my throat, hardly chewing.

When I finally swallow I run out the door, waving at Maggie as I leave. I run to my beat up, red truck and unlock the door. As I get in I notice something on the ground. I pick it up. It's an eagle feather. It seemed a bit weird to me, considering there weren't really many eagles in a big city like this. I thought about that for a minute before snapping back to attention. What am I doing? I'm late! I jump into the car and start the thundering engine. I push the truck as fast as it will go an the way to school but I still get there 3 minutes late.

As I run to my first class I get a text from Sadie who is my best and only friend. I look down at my phone. Where are you? I ignore her and keep running. She was all ways freaking out that I wouldn't come to school. But the truth is I just like to sleep, so I happen to be late a lot. By the time I get to my class I'm gasping for breathe. I take a minute to compose myself before walking in with my head down.

Mrs. Fult is in the middle of a lecture and ignores me as I come into class. Shes gotten used to me running in anywhere from 5 to 30 minutes late. In fact I think she would actually go into shock if I actually showed up on time. Sadie raises her eyebrows at me as I walk to the back of the classroom to sit by her.

"Sleep in Eliana?" She asks once I sit down.

"Of course not why would you think that?" I say with mock offense. She cracks a smile and focuses back on the board. That was when some one else walked into the room and this time Mrs. Fult stopped right in the middle of her lecture. It was a boy, and he was gorgeous. I mean not just your average movie star gorgeous more like my goodness hes an angel gorgeous. Or at least that was how he looked to me. He was tall and lean with dark hair and golden eyes. And oh my those cheek bones were amazing. I sighed but then so did every other girl in the room, maybe even Mrs. Fult.

He looked around the room then adressed Mrs. Fult. " Hi I'm Pierce I'm new here, where can I sit?" Mrs. Fult blinked at him a couple times then seemed to come to her senses.

"Oh! Oh yes you need a seat. You can sit right up front." She says, tapping a desk. Pierce nods and sits down. I sigh again then turn to Sadie. She was so boy crazy she was sure to be swooning over him even more then me. But when I see her face I'm shocked. Not only is she not swooning she was glaring! At Pierce!
