{AN: Hey guys!!! I hope you like the first chapter!!! Lizzy Above}
(Lizzy's POV)
It's Lizzy! Ben and I are starting our new school, Westbrook High, today. I don't really know how to feel about it. Mom says it's a 'fresh new start' but there's no way to know until I actually go right? Well, I gotta go get ready! Wish me luck!! I'll need it.
I put my favorite purple pen away and sigh. I guess I do need a fresh start. My brother too. We both kept getting bullied; me, because I'm an outsider, my brother because he's gay. My family and I are completely okay, and accept him for who he is, it's just, most kids at school didn't.
I go to my closet and pick out my favorite Blink- 182 shirt, pair it with my black skinny jeans, black on black converse, and to top it all off, my band bracelets.
"Lizard! Are you ready?" Ben knocks on my door, using the nickname he gave me when we were in 5th grade when I was obsessed with lizards.
"Yeah, come in. I just have to finish doing my hair and put makeup on." He flashes me a huge smile when I open the door and follows me into my bathroom. Today he's wearing his Green Day shirt that he's worn so much it has holes, black skinny jeans with a hole in the knee, and black combat boots.
"Can I use your blow dryer? I actually want to style my hair." He looks into the mirror and makes the weirdest face at his reflection, fluffing his hair a little. He dyes it a new color about every month and at the moment, it's a lilac color that goes well with his green eyes.
"Is that even a question, Ben? Of course you can." I hand him my blow dryer and grab my makeup. I put eyeliner on to make my gray-blue eyes pop. I turn to Ben to ask if he wants to listen to music while we get ready, but get blasted with the heat from the dryer.
"Gotcha!"
"Benjamin!!" I try to give him a mean look but fail. "I was going to ask if you wanted to listen to music, but since you blasted me with my blow dryer, I'm guessing that it's a no"
"Wait! Lizzy! Please can we listen to music!! I'm sorry I blasted you! I won't ever do it again!"
"Yes you will, but I still forgive you. Who do you want to listen to?" I pick up my iPod and plug it into the speaker.
"Yaaay! I love you Liz! Can we listen to Fall Out Boy?" I put on my FOB playlist and 'Thnks Fr The Mmrs' came on. We sing along as we do our hair. I straighten my black with red tips into a scene style. I look over to Ben and see that he styled it Michael Clifford from Five Seconds of Summer. He can actually pass as Michael, he has the green eyes, features, and he constantly dyes his hair like Michael.
"Ready?" I ask, pursing my lips.
"Of course, fresh new start, here comes Ben and Lizard!" I punch his arm playfully but smile anyways.
We pull into a spot and see that the whole front of the school is filled with a bunch of kids.
"How many people go here? Holy moly, man" I say slightly annoyed. I don't necessarily like groups of people. More people means a bigger chance of bullies.
"I know right?! I wonder if there are any cute gay boys." Of course my super outgoing brother loves the idea of a bunch of people.
"Wow, Ben! That's all you think about huh?"
