Chapter 1

Groggily, I stumbled out of bed as my alarm clock screamed at me. It had said it was 7:43 am. Rather quickly, I shot straight towards the bathroom. I was going to be late for school which began at 8. Not having enough time to shower, I chose a pair of jeans and a sleeveless top which I hoped I wouldn't get in trouble for. Usually I wouldn't have freaked out as much as today of being late. But, because my first class teacher told me that if I was late again, I'd receive a detention slip for after school, I didn't want to risk. Especially since today is the first of June and work is getting busier. That means more tips, and more money into my account.

Not caring how my hair looked like, I slipped on my blue pair of sneakers and spritz myself with a Justin Bieber perfume I had received as a gift earlier this year.

I had exactly six minutes left and I was in hope for a ride. Hoping my mom or step-dad were downstairs, I checked the kitchen where they usually were. A deep smell of crisp bacon filled my nostrils making my stomach growl.

On the table, sat a note taped to a covered plate. It read:

'Ariana, 

Sweetie your step-dad had to go to work earlier today and I had to go get streamers for his work party tonight. Sorry for not waking you up, you looked very peaceful! Have a nice day at school and I left you a plate of bacon and pancakes. Don't forget to eat breakfast!

Mom xx'

I groaned as I looked at the plate which I desired to devour. But I had no time. Grabbing only a strip for my run, I quickly hopped on my bike not caring at the laughs I'd get. I could NOT get a detention.

Halfway there, the light turned red and I looked to my left and right. Only a signal of one car coming showed. I took this as an opportunity to go off which earned me a loud beep and a rather not nicely word.

Finally, the scenery of the building I went To school at came into sight. I locked my bike in the special bike place we had and hurriedly ran for my first class which was history. Just as about I was going to make a sharp turn to reach the class, the bell rang twice indicating it was the second and final bell. Great. I was late.

I snuck into class, hoping Mr. Tod wouldn't notice. Thankfully I made my way to my seat and slid in. Mr. Tod eyes connected with mine and his head tilted but didn't say anything to me directly. I hoped he wouldn't notice.

"Now, who can tell me what we learned today in class?" Mr. Tod asked several seconds before the bell rang to go to our five minute break.

Nobody raised their hands; Mr. Tod sighed and skimmed his eyes around the class his eyes falling on Luke. I almost snorted right there.

"Luke, can you explain what we did today in class?"

"Uh, we learned history," Luke said. The class laughed at his remark and mr. Tod shook his head.

"No, Luke, we learned how different people from different places come together as a team. And how every person has their own sort of culture-"right then and there the bell rang. Mr. Tod shook his head and motioned us to leave from his desk.

The air in my throat almost hitched as I made my way I out hoping he wouldn't notice me.

As I passed his desk, with out looking at me directly but looking at his papers on his desk and writing with his right hand, he stretched out his hand and handed me a bright yellow paper.

'Detention today after school at 3:00-4:00 p.m. for being tardy for class more than three times. '

I read the paper and groaned as I left class. Great! Now I couldn't work extra at the shop today and had to go on night shift also. Luke and Perrie were at the door waiting for me; I passed them glaring at the paper.
