2 Chapter 1: Day 1

The smell of bacon filled the house. As soon as it traveled into my room my eyes shot open. My body felt energized. I got up and went to the bathroom to get ready.

"Honey! Your food it ready!!" My mom yelled from downstairs.

"I know!" I yelled through a mouth full of toothpaste.

       I heard a little chuckle from downstairs, and I looked into the mirror. My midnight black hair was put up in a bun and my icy blue eyes stared back at me. My features came mainly from my mom. The only thing I have from my dad is my attitude. I always have to be right even when I'm wrong and that is the one thing my mom isn't too fond of.

     As I finish getting ready I hear my little sister call from downstairs,

" I am eating your bacon big sis!!!"

     I slammed down my brush and ran downstairs. As soon as I got to my little sister she had a piece of bacon in her hand. I looked at my mom and she gave me a little nod. Slowly I crept behind my sister and pounced on her.

"Give. Me. My. Bacon!!"

"Never! It is mine! Mooom!"

"Give it!"

     I snatched the bacon from her hand and stuffed it in my mouth. While chewing with my mouth wide open I said,

"Mine."

"Ew fine just don't spit all of the crumbs everywhere nasty!"

     We locked eyes and both started dying out laughing. Then mom walked in carrying our book bags.

"Okay you two hyenas, are y'all doing laughing now?"

     We both nodded and took our bags. Mom took Alice, my sister, and I went to grab my keys. I had dads Jeep.. after he passed away a few months ago, mom couldn't drive it anymore and I knew she was going to sell it if I didn't take it so I did, and I liked the Jeep. Every time I rode in it I remembered him. I remember the feelings. The emotion my family had together. And it gave me joy.

"Bye honey have a good day at school!"

     My mom called after me as I closed the door. As soon as I started the Jeep I had an uneasy feeling. Like someone was with me. I started backing out and felt a cold tap on my shoulder. Quickly, I stepped onto the breaks. Looking in the rear view mirror I saw Mylee.

"WHAT THE HECK MYLEE! I could've gotten into an accident because of you!"

     I yelled at her.

"Oh don't be so mad about it grumpy pants."

     She laughed

"I just wanted to say good morning and accompany you on the ride to school!"

     She prepped up.

     Slowly I rolled my eyes.

"Well next time you want to 'say good morning' don't give me a flipping heart attack!"

"Okay okay I won't I promise. Hey are you doing anything this weekend?"

      She said as I started pulling out again.

"Um I don't think so, but next weekend it's Alice's birthday and I want to do something special for her."

"Okay well how about this.."

     As soon as I got to the stop sign I rolled down my windows.

".. what if we go to the beach with Mark and Lucas?"

      I looked at her and rolled my eyes.

"You really think Lucas is going to have the time to go to the beach? I wouldn't doubt he has a game this weekend again.."

      As soon as I said that I saw a hand grab the top of the passenger side of the window. My heart started to race really fast.

"You know Mylee, I think she's right."

     I heard a deep voice come from the roof. Lucas's head popped in the window and he crawled through and buckled up next to me. I gave him a slight punch on the arm.

"How long have you been on the roof! You scared me!"

"Since you and Mylee were bickering in your driveway. I climbed up while you yelled at her for scaring you."

     I looked at them both dead in the eyes. A low sigh left my mouth as I started driving again.

"You two literally can just wait in my yard or something. You don't have to do acrobatics!"

     Lucas reached for my hand and gave me a slight smile.

"Baby you know it was kind of funny."

"Yea so funny that I forgot to laugh but scream!"

    Mylee looked at me and started laughing.

"But the look on your face was priceless!!"

     I just rolled my eyes and finally pulled into the parking lot at school.

     I looked up. This is the first day that I have come back since my dad passed away. Maybe that is why these two came.. I felt Lucas put his hand gently on my shoulder and he leaned in to hug me. He could see it hurt me but he knew it was best not to say anything.

"Well. Are you ready to be back?"

     Mylee asked me with a slight generous smile on her face. I smiled back and nodded.

     It was the only thing I could do. Day 1 of school begins.
