4 Chapter 4- 3 Years Later

3 years later

My alarm goes off. It's currently 6:50, so I go to the bathroom and get ready for the first day of Senior Year. My best friend Jasmine will be waiting so we could walk together to school. I live near the school now as my parents bought a house there. I quickly brush my teeth, wash my hair and shower. It is summer so I decided to wear light and cute clothing. I wanted to wear a skirt. I was searching like a maniac through my drawers and I realised it was missing. Sh!T.

"Mom, did you take my yellow knee-length cotton skirt?" I screamed from my room.

"It's in the wash. You wore it last weekend when we visited your cousins. You gave it late!" my mom shouted from the kitchen.

I let out a heavy sigh.

I pulled out a brown mini-skirt that reached mid-thigh. I'm not comfortable wearing dresses above my knees or my thigh area. Jaz forced to buy this from the Christmas sale in Gucci. T still has the price tag on it. Just for one day.

I grab a black t-shirt and tuck it in my miniskirt. I put on a pair of wedged sandals and complete my look with a necklace with the letter H. This necklace is very special to me, it has many memories connected behind it. I kept my makeup minimal by only applying some concealer for my eyebags. I didn't need mascara as I had pretty long lashes, so I just applied some lip balm.

I grab my backpack and phone and head downstairs. I help myself with cereal and a smoothie.

"Hey sis," my brother Tyler says.

"Mornin' little bro," I reply cheerfully.

Today, I finally start Senior year as a VCE student and I'm excited as we get free periods and other privileges. Since I'm 16 and under 18, I cannot leave school during free periods, so that means extra time in the library. Totally okay by me, because I love the library!

Tyler is my younger bro and he is 15, so he is studying in Year 10. We fight ALL the time, but we love each other equally well. He has the protective younger brother look, while I have a cute and funny elder sister look. He is popular in school and a basketball and baseball player. I'm not popular but I'm well known for being his elder sister. I'm famous around his friends. I love hanging out with his group, they're annoying but friendly.

"Bye Mom, bye Dad! Love you." I shout and blow kisses. "So, I'll see you in school?" I ask Ty.

"Gotcha Han. By the way you look pretty in this outfit. Attracting some boys, I suppose?" Tyler teased.

"Thanks, but that's not happening." I reply cheekily.

"If any of those douchebags trouble you, I'm one call away and they're one step away from getting a facial makeover by my talented fists." Tyler said with a semi-concerning look.

"Don't worry, I can handle," I laughed and reassured him. "I'm sure they have other girls to go after."

Tyler takes the car, he has a special under-age driving permit for short distance driving, an Audi A8 while I preferred walking with my best friend Jasmine.

"Hey Jaz! How are you?" I pound on my bestie while giving her a massive bear hug.

"I-I am ch-chokingg." She gasped for air when I released her.

"I missed you so much girlie. It's so good to see you finally!"

"Me too Han! So good to see you. I went to Brazil and you went to Europe for Christmas hols. I just came 2 days ago."

"I can't believe we're finally seniors now. We have leadership positions, prefect ship, awards, prom and," I was cut off by Jasmine.

"Cute boys, hot boys." Jasmine finished for me.

I gave her a playful glare.

"Talking about boys, you finally wore the miniskirt we bought. What made you change your mind?" She giggled.

"I couldn't find another skirt," I huff.

"Damn, your legs look so good. They're long, slim and tan. I don't know why you don't expose them much. You sure have a shot at the boys and the slap in the face for some girls."

"You look awesome too Jaz. You got a tan, the trip to Brazil did you some good," I checked Jaz's outfit. She was wearing a casual sundress outfit an let her beautiful maroon-brunet hair out.

We walked together talking about our vacation together. I met Jaz in my History class. We were both silent, then I started to talk to her, and we ended having a nice chit-chat and exchanged numbers. We got closer when we discovered we had many classes together and different and unique interests. We have a lot in common and opposite. She has been my best friend ever since and we were like sisters. She was always encouraging and weird, and she is one of the reasons I forget about my past.

"You should come to Chandler's party next Friday." Jaz exclaims.

"I don't want to Jaz, you know I'm not comfortable with parties…" I whine.

"OMG Hannah! Don't be naïve. Live a little, expand your social life. You are so pretty and attractive, almost all the boys have a crush on you. Maybe you'll meet your soulmate there. Let's have some fun. Only 2 hours, okay?"

"Okay, 2 Hours," I grin. "I guess there's no harm in making friends."

"Yay! I love you." Jaz screams and hugs me.

I chuckle and walk towards the school office.
