I let the warm water cascade down my back as I washed the strawberry scented shampoo out of my hair. I always prefered tearless shampoo but once i found out tearless was a lie i switched so quick. I ran my fingers through my waist length blonde hair. before finishing the shower and grabbing a towel and my thick black rimmed glasses.
I never liked contacts and i also never liked my glasses but did you think i was about to stick some thin clear cover in my eye? uh no no fuck that sweetheart. I made my way out of the bathroom and pulled out a skater skirt and crop top and threw it at my bed almost hitting my cat in the process. "Sorry Rosie!" I squeaked out. I had no intention of hurting my only friend and one of the only people I spoke to. I got a soft meow in response as i changed into my outfit before brushing my hair and blow drying that lsightly wavy mess that was about to be murdered with my flat iron.
"Aurora breakfast will be ready in twenty minutes!" I heard my dad call. Andrew was a silly guy not to mention the only person Who knew how to cook. him and my stepmom got got married a few years back I only recently started to call her mom since we moved. he said that they met at a Business call. If you're wondering what happened to my birth mother i really can't answer that. She dropped me and my birth certificate on the steps of a police station somewhere in north dakota and when they found my dads file they had to put me on a plane BY MY SELF FOR THAT MATTER and send me to georgia. All my life i've been homeschooled so no reason to speak and make friends. Until now of course. I slowly made my way down the stairs and sat down as Mary immediately started to do my hair. Its not that i'm a brat and can't do it myself and all she just does really good high pony tails and I can barely do a low ponytail. As soon as she finished i started to slowly eat my breakfast looking at my dads plate.
"Eating the whole pack of Bacon or?" I joked, tilting my head to the side in a joking manner.
"Oh hush you vegan!" Andrew shot back before earning a tug on the ear by Mary and me sticking out my tongue.
"She started it babe!" He whined, with a playful pout as I picked up my plate and skipped to the sink.
"Bye mom! Bye dad!" I called as I heard what seemed to be the bus pull up.
*at school*
I slowly made my way from the bus loop and into the office fiddling with the hem of my skirt as they printed off my schedule. It was so awkward standing there like a shy idiot.
I grabbed my schedule as soon as the woman was done I immediately ran to what seemed to be the 500 wing. It was extremely crowded and I could feel anxiety bubbling up in my stomach. oh god please no.. not now.. I thought before I was pushed against where the wall dips in and the lockers start. why is someone pressed against me.. i didn't ask for this please exit. I thought to myself slowly looking up as I saw a boy with a mop of side swept brown hair before hearing a low rumble "Sorry newbie.. It'll be over soon I promise" The unnamed boy whispered as i felt his minty warm breath fan against my now rosy cheeks. It all happened in a spilt second as he soon stepped away in the new less crowded hall. "Are you lost sweetheart?" The boy asked fixing his backpack straps as i shakily handed him my schedule. A smile soon appeared on his face "You're in for a treat. You have me in all of your classes" He chuckled, wrapping his arm around my shoulders leading me to what i assumed to be my first class "So Aurora Marie Lincon.. That has a nice ring to it" He chuckled, before removing his arm and knocking on the classroom door feeling the slightlt cold air as it hit my rosy cheeks.
"Chandler Riggs. late again?" The teacher scoffed, as who I now know as chandler led me to two opened seats.
Chandler opened his mouth to soeak before i immediately stood up despite my brain telling me to keep my mouth shut.
"H..He helped me find my way h..here.. I..i'm Aurora Lincon.." I stuttered out, biting my lip nervously trying to avoid eye contact with all the other students before I immediately sat down looking down at my lap, squeezing my eyes shut. The teacher gave me a soft nod before going back to handing out papers.
I felt a soft tap on my shoulder making me turn my head to the right and tilting it to the sidein confusion as Chandler handed me a folded piece of paper. I slowly took it and unfolded it letting a soft giggle escape my lips
'thanks for that newbie <3 ~Chan' I looked over at him before writing back with a shy smile on my face.
'Welcome oldie c:'
I quickly folded it before passing it back hearing a soft chuckle escape his lips as he gave me a lopsided grin.
'We should hang out after school. I could show you around town'
I bit my lip before pausing my notes and writing my number down quickly.
'Sure! I'd like that a lot! ***-***-****'
I slowly passed it back before continuing my notes.
*after School*
I shyly stood at my locker with my books in hand and phone to my ear.
"Yes dad i'll be home before curfew.. What no! He just wants to show me around. Yes he's very cute just.. Shush it! Yeah yeah im definitely feeling the love" I whined at my fathers many questions, feeling my cheeks heat up as I look down the hallways before bouncing my way towards Chandler "Hiya Chan!" I said, excitedly bouncing on the balls of my feet. "Well hello Sunshine" He laughed, ruffling my hair as he grabbed my hand lightly tugging me to the exit. "Okay so first off im taking you to this really 1950's diner and then we can walk around" He said with a wide grin as he opened the Jeep door for me. I shyly climbed in and buckled up. "Oo I'm excited. my room has a lot of vintage stuff so i'll be in awe for a while" I mumble shyly.

"Cute" He chuckled before pulling into a parking lot and stepping out, running over to my side quickly practically stumbling in the process. I covered my mouth and let out a girly giggle as I, jumped down from me seat, grabbing my purse excitedly. "come on!" I squealed, grabbing his arm, tugging him to the building excitedly.
As we entered I felt Chandler tense up. I looked up at him "You okay?" I hummed, leading him to a booth. "Huh? Oh yeah i'm fine" He chuckled, sitting across from me. "So what do you want hun? anything your little heart desires" He smiled. I pushed my botom lip into a playful pout "Don't mention my heightttt" I whined, crossing my arms.
The rest of the time was spent us giggling over jokes, twenty questions, and favorite comics or books. ———————————————— How was that..?? I honestly really like it but i want your opinions! Auroras face claim is Elle fannings because she played Aurora in maleficent so its vv fitting. If you're wondering yes Andrew Lincon is Auroras birth dad and Aurora has a thick british accent. Aurora is from the U.K but her when her mom and Andrew divorced her mom got custody of her and took her to the US. we will hear more about Aurora's mother later on in the book but for now she's not a full on main character just a background character. this book will not involve any 'mean girls' because that's really cliché any who! i'll post the next chapter when i can!
