chapter 1

Upon hearing the loud music which was ringtone,I startled awake from my almost deep slumber. I had been hoping, praying and wishing on every shooting star for sleep to attack me and when it finally did , someone had the audacity to destroy it.

I angrily picked up my phone from the night stand to check the caller. The name Aiden was plastered all over my screen.

I sat up, what does that fucker want now. I answered it.

"What the fuck do you want?!".

"Errm...Anna , it's me Leo."

"Leo, why are you calling with Aiden's phone. Is he in jail and needs someone to bail him? . Tell him I don't have money and my allowance will not be used for such ."

He chuckled a bit." Don't worry your money is safe. He's just a little bit drunk. Can you come get him?."

"Why can't you just drop him off your way." I said hoping with all my heart the answer was a yes so that I don't get off my comfy bed.

"I've had one or two, probably more so I'm not equipped to be a designated driver."

Damnit I had to move. With a dejected sigh I said"okay send me your location."

I arrived at the club 30 minutes later. Leo holding Aiden by the shoulder I walked towards. Shifting some of his weight to me ,Leo helped carry him to the car. I opened the door and shoved him in and put his seat belt on. I turned to Leo and asked

"Don't you need a ride?"

"Thanks but I'm crashing at Jerry's place".

" Whew, thank God, I was just being polite. Bye Leo."

He chuckled,"bye, see you at school".

" I'm so not looking forward to school." I waved at him.

He waved back and I got inside the car.

I couldn't sleep after the brutally murdered one by you know who. After the many poor excuse of attempted sleeps I gave up and turned to my phone instead. I Check the clock and it was just time to wake somebody up before the alarm clock does.

I went to the kitchen for a metal pan and a spoon and headed towards my brother's room.

My hand was near his ear and I started making random noise with my equipments.

He shot up he just had cold water poured on him. He squinted his eyes at me,nose flaring and I started imagining smoke coming out of his ears in seconds.

"What do you want?!. Go away you soul sucking demon."

While he looked angry,I was enjoying every minute of it.

"It's time for school." I said almost chirping.

" Since when were you my alarm? You don't even like school. It's this about yester–".

He groaned and held his head, massaging his temple.

I thrusted a glass of water and aspirin to him. He drank the water with the medicine and sighed.

"That will be 40 bucks."

He looked at me,.eyes bulging

"40 bucks for tap water and cabinet aspirin?"

"Yep, 10 bucks for the walk from here to the kitchen, 10 bucks for retrieving it from it's hideout,10 bucks for the walk back and another 10 for humbly serving it to you with my beautiful face."

He glared at me about to rage on when I added

"Do you remember how you got here?,without mom and dad noticing?. You didn't think it was free right?. I'm gonna get my calculator and do the math for you." With that I sped out of the room and heard a thud – the sound of my head missing a very hard by seconds – followed by a loud

"You little–"

"You better not finish that phrase Aiden. Come for breakfast,you both." My mom said.

I had on a black hoodie and a black skinny jeans with black ankle boots. My untameable ginger hair has finally calmed down enough for it to be pulled into a double top knot. I met Aiden on my way to eat. He was wearing a white cotton t-shirt with white sneakers. He dress up the look by cuffing his jeans, featuring a cotton khaki bomber jacket.

He glared at me and I smiled sweetly at him. He bumped his shoulders into mine and I of course didn't settle down without a fight.

After breakfast, I pecked my mother on the cheeks and hugged my father. I pulled my chair back and said goodbye heading towards my car.

Aiden reluctantly followed , grumbling all the way. He left his car at the party and would have to go get it . As his part time driver it's soley my right to charge him.

I passed down the hallway of the soul sucking, panic grabbing of innocent young people is the ultimate hellhole also known as Abridge high. Many unlucky souls passed by me looking like they have gone through an apocalypse and have survived. It's my last year at this School and I can't wait for the day I will finally jump the hell out of here.

As if sensing me Brenda raised her head from her phone and looked my way. A smile stretched across her face. She was wearing a pink crop top with crazy jeans and a white heel sandals. Her brown hair was pulled into a ponytail and her makeup was light, making her olive skin vibrant.

I reached where she was – standing in front of my locker – and she engulfed me in a hug. After releasing me she said,

"You look awful. Like you stepped on a bee, Amber heard style."

"Wow progress, Sherlock. I couldn't sleep because some jerk thought it was wise to have as many drinks as possible and not have a designated driver."

"I said I would pay you for the inconveniences." Aiden said behind me.

I turned and glared at him.

" Of course you would , it's a fact. Don't say it like it's a favour, its an obligation."

"It's my money, I decide what to do with it."

" Oh really then you wouldn't mind if our parents anonymously find out about what happened yesternight. I mean they will only ground you , take your phone and probably your car keys too but you know, no biggie."

"It's just a favour that you are doing for me. Should we start counting the fav—"

"Both of you shut up." Bree said placing her hands on her hips.

"It's too early for you to be at each other's necks. How about you —" she pointed at me.

"Take what you take want from the locker and you —" she pointed at Aiden

"Go be gorgeous somewhere else." She shooed him and he chuckled. I gave her the evil eye to which she shrugged.

" What, problem solved" still staring at Aiden's back. Since our locker's were unfortunately a little bit close, Aiden was still here removing stuffs from his locker.

"I have bad news and even worse news. Which one do you want to hear first?."

"Huh, errm...none."

" Well our schedules have changed so we may sometimes not have the some subjects together. My first lesson is English while yours is Chemistry."

"What the fuck!. Since when do we change schedules only after a couple of weeks after school started. I knew Mr. Carey shouldn't have been allowed to rule the school. Just look at his name, Archibald like a fucking—" Bree covered my mouth and smiled at the onlookers.

" What's with Archibald, I think it's a nice name. Oh and history is last". She said holding a paper out to me. I snatched it to see and there it was in big bold letters.

"That fucking—" Bree covered my mouth again.

"You seriously need a filter for that mouth." She released me. People were still staring as if waiting for me to spit out fire.

"What are you looking at!" I snapped at them. They turned back pretending to busy themselves.

Aiden laughed." They sent it to us today. Guess you really don't open any school related stuffs at all. Even though mine is not better of I'm glad they changed it since it pisses you off. I've got to go bye Love." He winked at Bree who treacherously smiled dreamily at him.

"Bye Aiden." Bree waved at him

"Fuck you Aiden." He chuckled but didn't turn. Staring at his back I prayed for him to trip and when he didn't , it pissed me of more. On our way to Bree's locker – chatting all the way–, I bumped into someone. Turning to the perpetrator I discerned a high pitched voice.

" Hey! Watch it. This dress cost more than your life." Her blue eyes sparkling as if she just got a new toy to play with – more like a new prey to torment. A smirk appeared on Janelle's – infamously known as the wicked witch of Abridge high – lips and I rolled my eyes.

" Well if it's not —"

"Not in the fucking mood, move!." I bumped my shoulder into her own – this time intensionally – and dragged Bree with me. Just then the bel rung and I grunted in response. Lack of sleep always leave me in a shitty mood – otherwise I'm a delight– but chemistry as first lesson...kill me now,please.
