•Author's Note Part One•

So here's the catch.. At first this book was going to be about the usual mafia-brother books. Till I got a sudden idea and changed my whole plot.

Under this author's note is the original story I intended to write.

Chapter 1

I was on the beach, my brothers were chasing me, and I was having some much fun.

But then my alarm rang.

Of course, having brothers was always a dream. I had read so many books on siblings that I felt like I was missing out. I always felt lonely.

Groaning, I stood up to take a quick shower.

I always felt extra sleepy on a Friday.

Once I was done, I got dressed. I was angry at the school because we had to wear a uniform, which sucked.

Our school uniform included a sky-blue shirt, navy blue skirts/trousers (an option for girls), white socks, black shoes and a navy blue tie with the school logo on it.

I usually wore the trousers instead of the skirt because skirts weren't my thing. In fact, I barely had any skirts in my wardrobe.

Once I was dressed, I sleepily stuffed my books and equipment I needed for the day and walked to the kitchen for breakfast.

Mum was already there, and she was rubbing her forehead, staring at her laptop.

"Hey mum," I said, putting on a smile.

She closed her laptop and looked at me,"Morning Alexa."

"You still have that headache?" I asked mum. She had this headache for a few days now, and it wasn't showing any sign of going away.

Mum nodded.

"It's high time you see the doctor now," I told her.

"Bu-"

I cut her off,"No buts, you have to get better mum."

She sighed,"Fine, I will go once I have dropped you off at school, okay?"

I smiled, satisfied that I was able to convince her. Mum returned the smile.

I went and hugged her, but my nose stung me.

"Mum," I whined,"You put too much perfume."

She rolled her eyes,"I can't do anything about that, my boss says that I have too."

I sat down to eat breakfast as my mum, once again, told me about how strict her boss was I had never actually met this boss of her.

I quickly finished my food, and mum drove me to school.

I got out of the car while waving goodbye to mum.

I felt someone hugging me, I smiled and hugged the person back.

It was Hannah, my best friend. We met in third grade.

"I missed you so much," Hannah squealed.

I rolled my eyes at her,"It has only been a day."

"A dreadful, long day. Trust me, staying with a mean sister for a whole day is not fun," Hannah replied recalling the past few days.

I put my arm around her,"Why don't you tell me all about it?"
