Defying Gravity(GxG)

Chapter 2

            Every morning I wake up sweaty and shaking from the dreams I had about my father, then I throw up from the sickness the bastard who shot him gives me. I thought last night would be different though. For the most part I didn't dream of my dad, and it wasn't until I had woken up and went back to sleep that the nightmares had came back. Ive got use to them though.

I definitely wasn't ready to start school today, and honestly I just wanted to go back to sleep and never wake up. Nevertheless I got ready anyways. I wasn't one for makeup but I'm making an exception for today. I just put on a little mascara and lip gloss. My Dad always told me that mascara made my blue eyes shine like the ocean, of course I knew he was obligated to say that since he was my dad.

Before going down stares I looked over myself once more in the mirror. I wasn't wearing anything fancy; my outfit consisted of only a white v neck t shirt and black skinny jeans. It was simple and plane and that's exactly what I liked about it. The less attention I draw to myself today the better.

I grabbed my leather jacket and my sun glasses and walked down stares to meet my aunt who was sitting in the same chair as yesterday reading the daily newspaper. She looked so professional in her business outfit and her glasses bridged on her nose.

"Good morning Lucy." I said sitting across from her. I was trying to make this feel like home since I'll be here for at least the next six months. She looked up and smiled, "Amber there's really no reason to be so dressy on your first day," she teased.

"I'm not one for looking nice...ever" She laughed "I would have never guessed." I checked the time on my phone and realized that it was still only seven so I still had time to kill. I could tell Lucy was just about ready to take off for work.

"Hey, Lucy do you happen to know where a coffee shops is around here. I can't start off my day without coffee." She chuckled and said she would text me the directions. After she left I grabbed my backpack and got ready to leave. I still couldn't get over the fact that Lucy had bought me a new motorcycle. I knew that once I got a job I would repay her.

I started my bike up and heard the familiar roar of the engine and took off in the direction of the coffee shop. For some reason being on a motorcycle gave me a thrill. It made me feel alive again. I mean, I wasn't crazy on it but something about how the wind felt gave me a feeling of comfort.

Luckily the coffee shop was right next to the school because I hadn't realized how long it would take to order and finish it. Pulling into the school parking lot gave me Goosebumps. The scene in front of me was exactly how I had pictured it in my head. There were people sitting on rails of the entrance and football players throwing the ball in the grassy area besides the school.

It didn't take long for me to find the parking lot for the motorcycles. I quickly pulled in and getting my phone out to see how much time I had until first period. I have no idea what my classes are so I'll of course have to wonder around and find the office to get them.

One of the nicest looking Harleys I have ever seen pulled into the spot right next to mine, and a teenage looking boy got of it. He looked my way and starred at me for a couple seconds. He had dark brown shaggy looking a hair and eyes that looked as if he could tell a story with them.

"Finally someone else who rides a bike around here, and to my luck she's hot," he gave a smirk and leaned against his bike. I knew He was flirting but I tried to surpass the compliment. I went to walk away when he grabbed my arm lightly to get my attention.
