the one day - first love

I walked down the stairs of my house, and picked up the keys to my black Volvo, and shook it by the key ring so that all of the things stuck to it rattled. "Are you gonna get up now?" I asked my 14 year old brother Justin.

"Yeah" was his small reply, and he got up and headed outside, and we were on our way to the first day of a new year to school.

My mother is a very good lawyer, and father owns a few companies and also writes books. Both very attractive and intelligent. My older brother, Paul, left for college on a scholarship. And Justin, is an all rounder, and captain of his swim team. I, Shannon, myself am a 16 year old, gets high grades and all guys fall at my feet, head cheerleader and popular, but single, I'm waiting for the right guy.

I parked her car in an empty space, and both of us headed to the building, and I went to my locker. "Shann!" I hear a familiar voice go.

"Em!" I say back at my best friend Emily, in the same expression, and soon we were in each other's arms, "wow, I missed you so much!" I said, glad to see her again, she wasn't a cheerleader like me, she was in the school drama things and got lead parts, and she had a boyfriend, Dan, who is pretty good looking and also takes part in the school plays.

"Oh me too, how was you holiday?" she wanted to know.

"Um, it was... interesting" I shrugged, "and tiring. And yours?"

"Oh, with my grandparents it's always the same! Stay home and do their chores, and look after Gramps' farm" she told me, and I listened, and nodded, and then Dan showed up with us.

"Hey girls!" he said with a grin forming across his face, he hadn't changed at all.

"Oh, hi Dan" I smiled, as he walked towards us, and put his arm around Emily.

"Hey Dan!" Emily said happily, pulling him into a hug, "I missed you."

"I missed you too baby" he said, and no sooner they were making out. So I smiled at their happiness and walked away, with my favourite book under my nose as I walked. And there was a bump, and I looked up to see a new and beautiful face of a guy, maybe a little older than me.

"Sorry!" we both apologised at the same time and then a second later we were both chuckling.

"Oh, hi I'm Shannon," I said smiling.

"Hey, and I'm Luke, and new here." He informed.

"Oh, Luke" I said, "I'm guessing you're a senior."

"Oh, yeah, senior" he sighed.

"Right" I said "do you have anyone to show you around?"

"Uh, no" he said.

"Mind if I?" I offered.

"Not at all" was his response. He smiled down at me, he was pretty tall and I could swear he had a six pack under that shirt of his.

"So..." he started as we were walking, "what book were you reading?" He looked curious to know.

"Oh this?" I raised it up to show him, "I'm reading Gone with the wind, I've read it like 5 times." I said.

"Oh, cool! One of my favourites as well" he said, impressed.

"You read?" I asked surprised, "Not many guys do around here, but that's great."

"Yeah, I'm not from around here," he said to me "reading is one of my best hobbies"

"Oh, awesome, me too!" I said "I mean about reading."

With that we got to his class and I had to leave for mine.

My first period was English with Emily and Daniel.
