Chapter 1 - Anything Could Happen.

*Beep Beep Beep*

My eyes shot open at the sound of my alarm clock. Looking over, the blue numbers told me it was 5:00 am, time for my run. Sighing, I got out of bed and went over to my walk in closet to change into spandex shorts and a t-shirt and put my hair up into a ponytail. As I walked out of my room I grabbed my IPod off the charger before heading out the door. I walk out the door and the smell of the woods near my house filled my lungs. I walked to the path leading into the forest and started my morning run through the woods.

By the time I got home it was 6:00 am. As I walked through the door, the small of bacon and eggs wafted from the kitchen, and as I got closer to the source of the smell, I could hear my parents laughing. Pushing the door open I entered the large kitchen. My mom was standing in front of the stove with a pan of bacon on the left and a pan of eggs on the right. My dad was standing behind her, his arms around her waist, and he was whispering in her ear. They looked so happy, and they had yet to notice me.

"If you don't mind, I like my eggs without anything gross in them thanks" I said. They both looked up at me before giving me an evil grin. Before I realize what was happening, my mom turned around and they started into a heated make out session, "Okay that is so gross! I think I am going to eat an apple instead. Ew!" I yelled before turning around and running out of the kitchen. The mental image of my parents burned into my brain.

I made my way up to my bedroom, and walked into my bathroom. I turned the water on as cold as I could before taking off my sweat drenched cloths, and hopping under the cold stream. As soon as the water hit my skin, it started to soothe my sore muscles. I washed my hair with my vanilla shampoo and conditioner, and washed my body with the soy and almond body wash. Once I felt clean I got out and wrapped a towel around my body and one around my hair before walking out of the bathroom and into my closet.

I looked around before deciding on black skinny jeans, a fuzzy gray sweater with a black heart on it, and a gray knit beanie. After changing I walked back into my bathroom and put my curling iron on before pulling out my make-up bag. I applied a minimal amount of eyeliner and mascara before turning my attention on curling my long brown hair. After I finished I unplugged my curling iron, grabbed a pair of gray shoes and headed downstairs.

I walked into the kitchen and saw that my parents had left, most likely for work. They also left no food for me. Jerks! I walk over to the counter, and saw a yellow sticky note.

Elane, you said you didn't want any so we decided to eat it all, no hard feelings... :) grab an apple from the fridge. Have a good day and see you after school! Love Mom and Dad.

I love them but I hate them. I walked to the fridge and grabbed an apple before walking to the front door, grabbing my bag, and my car keys, and walking out to my yellow punch buggy.

I pulled up to school and got out of my car. My boyfriend Daniel came up to me and gave me a kiss before taking my hand and walking me to my locker. My best friend Jessica was waiting for me. When she saw me she squealed before running up to me and throwing her arms around me.

"Elane! You are the top candidate for prom queen! You are so going to win it!!!" She screamed in my ear. I laughed before replying, "You are so funny! Who cares if I win? Its prom! It is going to be a blast!"

The bell rang signalling time for class. Jessica ran off without responding, and Daniel started pulling me towards our first period class, English. As we walked through the halls, we got a mix of stares. Guys ogling at me and girls giving me death glares. We just ignored them and soon enough we got to class. Ms. Roque came in and when the second bell went to signal class started, she began her lesson.
