Fire. Sceamimg. Smoke. Everywhere. It's all around me and I feel as if it might swallow me whole. Next thing I know, I'm being carried out of my burning house and placed on the front lawn near the sidewalk. I see my dad running back into the house to get my mom and brother, I hear sirens of the firetruck approaching. I turn to look at the bright red flashing lights as they come closer. I suddenly hear a loud crack and whip my head around to look back at my house, I was blinded by a bright light as my house exploded. I covered my head with my arms in an attempt to stop the flying debris from hitting me on the head or face. I can remember screaming and trying to run to get to my family in the demolished house, my attempt failed as I felt the arms of a firefighter wrap around me and yank me away from the burning building. I was kicking and screaming for him to let me go but my efforts were in vain. I was taken to a medical van and given a serum to knock me out. That was the last time I saw my family

I woke up drenched in sweat and panting heavily, the room still dark from night. I lie there in my bed to catch my breath for a few minutes before sitting up and wiping a hand across my damp forehead. I looked at my phone on my bedside table. 5:00am, knowing I wouldn't be able to fall asleep again I got up and headed to my gym room on the first floor of my two story house. Over time I realized that doing gym in the morning fully woke me up for the day and I was able to function properly. I would usually gym for an hour before school every morning except for weekend's

The nightmare of my family's death is a common re-occurrence I have to deal with every now and then. I have kind of gotten used to it, but not to an extent were I don't feel sad about the situation. I know it's not my fault, I was only eight when it happened, but I can't help but miss them sometimes. I vowed never to feel useless, and that I would live on in my family's memories.

Gym flew by faster than I thought it would and helped me forget about last nights dream, I was soon headed upstairs to shower and change for school. I decided to wear a black tank top and my favorite hoodie, with black cargo pants and white converse shoes. Checking my appearance one last time in the mirror, I exited my room with my bag slung over my shoulder. I walked down the stairs and grabbed an energy bar for breakfast, my phone buzzed in my hoodie pocket, I pulled it out and read the messagers ID.

Jimin.

Jimin is one of my first and best friends, and also happens to be the one who attracts a lot of girl attention. He can be a pain in my ass but I still wouldn't trade him for anyone else. He was the one that helped me get through some of the toughest moments in my life too, he's an untradable gem

Jimin😝
Hey Hera, did you study for that history test we have today?

Hera😎
Hey jimin, yes I did.
Let me guess
You didn't

Jimin😝
You're funny Hera, but yes, I didn't 😑

Hera😎
I knew it

Jimin😝
Don't get smart with me🙄
But please help me out🙏

Hera😎
You know, one of these days, I'm going to leave you to do it yourself
But fine
You're so annoying

Jimin😝
Thank you so much❤
I may be annoying but you still love me😇
And I highly doubt you'll leave my pretty self alone

Hera😎
🤮

Jimin😝
😘

Hera😎
See you at school😂

Jimin😝
See you

I chuckled at our small coversation, feeling warm and fuzzy inside. I've been best friends with Jimin for years, he was there when my parents died and had helped to comfort me through those hard times. His parents saw me as their daughter and had no problem taking me in after the incident

I put my phone in my pocket an grabbed my keys off the kitchen counter. I then went to get my skateboard that was leaning against the wall near the front door.

Upon opening the door I was greeted with the bright sun and chirping birds, a small, warm breeze made chills roll down my spine

I locked the door behind me and started walking down my driveway to the sidewalk. In one fluid motion I rolled the skateboard on the ground, stepped on it and pushed off. The ride to school from my house was 15 minutes long. Not that bad depending on the morning rush hour.

I rolled down the pavement, and avoided crashing into people walking past me. I mumbled a few 'hellos' and 'goodmornings' to people along the way, when I saw the school come into view, I sped up slightly. I wanted to speak to Jimin before school started

Hey guys, so this is my first book so cut me some slack for the first couple chapters😂

The chapters will also get longer as well

So, for those of you who are wondering, bts are Hera's best friends. And red velvet are also in the book and they will act as Hera's bullies( no hate pls, I really needed an antagonist and I just decided to use them, they are amazing people and this book in no way reflects them in real life)
Stray kids will also make an appearance sooner or later.
Enjoy guys.

Also, I'm still deciding if I want to add smut or not. I'm not good at romance so pls forgive me
