Amara got out of bed and went to take a shower she passed her father's room and, noticed he was gone. She knew he had gone to Bangkok for a business trip. Her father was the owner of a large chain of banks and was currently on the verge of opening one in Thailand.
She got into the bathroom and slowly undressed, goosebumps appeared as a cold breeze came in from the window. She looked at the mirror and stared at the girl in front of her.
She had a long thin nose, brown eyes that were complimented with softly arched eyebrows, rose pink lips and straight shoulder length brown hair.
She was practically a spitting image of her mother and she hated it. Her mother had left Amara and her father for her father's rival. It wasn't that surprising because Amara knew her mother was a gold digger and a bitch who would go down on you if you had a fat wallet.
Michael Mason had loved his wife dearly and it broke Amara's heart when she witnessed her father cry after her mother had broken the news that she was leaving them. After that the Mason family was never the same.
Amara barely saw her father because of all his work, as well as the fact that he became an alcoholic after his wife left him. All in all Michael could either be found in a country across the world or at the bottom of an empty whist bottle. Amara could tell that he missed her very much, but she couldn't say the same about herslef. Her mother was always there for her but for all the wrong reasons.
Amara quickly pushed the thought of her enstranged mother away and quickly hopped into the shower. She took less than five minutes to shower and in ten minutes she was out of the door, not bothering to get breakfast.
She was so tired but that was no surprise seeing as how it was a Monday, the second week of school and she already had three essays and four tests and two labs.
She would say senior year is going to be a bunch of papers and test but that would be an understatement. She hopped into her Ford Mustang '67 and pulled her face in disgust as she saw the all too familiar neon pink bra on the gear shift. She made a mental note to have a discussion with the owner.
She made it to Oscarfield High School in fifteen minutes. Oscarfield High School was known to be the best high schools in all of New England. It was a brick building that looked old but still had a modern vibe to it.
It was two stories high with a football field on the west end, a gym in the basement, a massive cafeteria that served the most amazingly fresh and delicious food ever, a large assembly hall and up to seven different science labs. It wasn't a private school yet some of the wealthiest kids were enrolled into the program.
AMARA'S POV
I pulled up into a parking spot near the entrance of the school and turned off the ignition. As I got out I was bombarded with wolf whistles and cat calls but just ignored them as I made my way over to the group of cheerleaders chatting aways.
"Amara!", squeeled my best friend Fillipa, she jumped down from where she was sitting and gave me one of her infamous bone crushing hugs. " Thank you so much for letting me borrow your car for my date with Brent." Fillipa Stewart had been my enemy from ninth to eleventh grade. We used to be best friends along with another girl, Steffy Altman in elementary school and junior high.
That all changed when Fillipa had joined the cheerleading squad, I mean I could have joined if I wanted and I know I would have made it but the attention is just too much. Fillipa just sort of drifted away from Steffy and I. Soon we were social outcasts, we were just a piece of gum stuck on Fillipa's shoe. So in the end it was just me and Steffy, but things change and so do people.
Summer before senior year----
I walked up to Steffy's door and walked. " Hello!" I shouted, I waited a few seconds until I saw Steffy's head appear from the kitchen, but she wasn't alone. She was with William Spencer, I had a crush on him since tenth grade and Steffy knew how I felt about him. I saw the smile on her face drop when she saw me.
"Oh, it's you", she said with disappointment in her voice. " Will do you mind giving us a second?" she asked the love of my life. " Yeah sure no problem babe," he responded before giving her a passionate kiss.
I hung my head down so I didn't have to see them. After Will left, Steffy came up to me and hissed " what are you doing her". I looked at her with utter disbelief, "NO! What is he doing here? And why did he just kiss you?" I whsipered/yelled at her. She didn't even seem fazed by my obvious pain and anger, she took in a breathand the words that came out of her mouth will always be etched in my brain."Amara, how do I say this? We can't hang out anymore, you are just too you and you bring me down on the social ladder and William is here because I invited him over 'Mar. How could you possibly ever think that someone like him would go for someone like you. Everyone leaves you Amara, your mother, Fillipa, me and Bry-"
"STOP IT!" I shouted, I didn't want to hear the rest.
I headed towards the door but before I stepped out I turned and looked back, hoping Steffy would just start laughing and tell me it was all just a joke and I was on the tv show Prank'd. I guess we can't have everything.
I drove around Oscarfield, bawling my eyes out in my car and found myself in front of the person i was supposed to hate's house. I slowly got out and rang the bell.
The door opened to reveal a stunning girl with short cropped hair. I attacked her with a hug and cried on her shoulder, she was tense for a minute before she held me and rocked me back and forth. I cried for hours that day, it was one of the worst days of my life but that same day I got my friend back.
"I'm glad you had fun" I replied nonchalantly. She didn't seem to notice my out of it attitude so I said good bye to her and made my way to library. I bumped into someone and fell onto the ground with a very unlady like thud, I was about to apologize until I caught sight of who it was.
