Everest Hollow

Chapter 1

  (Kiara's P.O.V.) Again I'm here, walking down the trail in the woods. All the trees and leaves slightly tented orange, a beautiful mixture of colors altogether. I'm holding onto something.. I look down and it's a hand. I follow it up to the person it's connected to. It's her. The one who left me out of the blue. The one who didn't give me the chance to say goodbye. I try to speak but there's so much I want to say, that nothing forms correctly for me to get anything out. And just as I grow the strength to say goodbye she's gone. Everything goes black with a beeping noise that I realized was faint through out the time, slightly growing louder.

  I wake up to my alarm going off beneath my pillow. The repetitive vibrations making it harder to ignore. I turn off the alarm and check to see if I've received any messages or calls that I may have slept through. I don't know why I expected any, I don't even associate with many people. I stay to myself because doing anything other than such, is risky. Especially with a secret I can't afford anyone to find out about. The one secret of many that could ruin me, and make me have to relocate... again. And Everest Hollow is somewhere I wanna stay for a long time without having to travel.
    I grab my towel and head straight to the shower, desiring the hot water to consume my body. The second the water hit my skin I woke up immediately. Music lowly playing so that my older brother, Tristan doesn't wake up. He likes to sleep in late on his days off. On other days I'd wake up to him already gone. I turn off the water and and wrap the towel around my steamed body while I walk back into my bedroom. I go to my closet. I don't wanna stand out too much but I also don't want to look like the new kid everyone can pick on. I pull a Nike's sports bra over my head, and put on a black pair of boxers. I decide to go with an outfit somewhat basic looking. I pick out a black shirt with a white Jordan sign on the front. Ripped black jeans, slightly baggy but tight. And of course I have to put on some jewelry. I pull two gold thin chains over my head and a gold Rolex watch on my wrist. I take a look at my mirror on my walls and start to second guess my fit. Like maybe I shouldn't sag my pants , or maybe it's too much bling going on--
    " Maybe you should put your stud earrings in." A voice at my door, interrupting my thoughts, suggests.
    " You don't think it's too much?"  I ask, looking back at my reflection.
   " Nah, put em in sis." He sips his coffee and walks downstairs. So I put in my gold diamond earrings grab my phone and black Jordan bag and head downstairs.
   " How come you're up so early on a day off?" I question my brother when I see him again.
   " You really think I'd sleep in on your first day at a new school? Plus you lookin fly, I need a picture."
   " You mean another to add to the thousands we already have of my first day's?" I say with obvious sarcasm in my voice. He nods his head with that goofy smile and I can't help but give him what he wants. But he still gets an eye roll from me as I walk to the wall by the front door. He takes advantage of this and starts acting like it's a photoshop. Eventually I give in and start posing and he hypes me up with each one. He loses his shit when I sling my bag over one shoulder and look at my watch like it's an off guard . He's just lucky he's good with a camera.
   When he's finally had enough I tell him to send them to my phone. I go to the kitchen and grab a green apple. Thankful there's green ones and not red, I hate those ones. My  mom was the same way.. but as quickly as that thought came, it went. I look at the time and I have about a half a hour to get to school on time. I decide to just go now to avoid any possible traffic there may be. My phone buzzes more times than I can count. I look at it and there's two contact names, one being my brother that says 15 attachments and the other my girl best friend.

   Jasmin: What car you pullin up to school in?
   Me: lol I was thinkin the black Mustang
   Jasmin: Thinking the white Camaro
   Me: I guess we're pulling up looking rich
   Jasmin: Well.. we kinda are. See you in a few, drive safe
   Me: You too
