Just One Time

Chapter One

As I sat down on the sand looking out into the distance, I knew my whole life was about to change. From the moment I was born to now, everything was normal, until I realized that not only am I about to see what my whole life has in store for me, but I am also going to see my whole life. Let me explain, from the moment we are born to the time you are about to graduate there are videos and pictures of you that show your progress in life that your parents have taken. Though whenever that's happening, you also get to meet the love of your life, you will see what are the top 5 jobs that best suits you, and just about everything will fall into place. Well that's what my mom always tells me.

The wind ran through my hair as I looked to my side and see my parents with my younger siblings. They were all having the time of their lives, while I am here afraid on figuring out who I'm about to become.

"Logan! Come on!" My mom yelled before my dad threw a bucket of water on her. My younger siblings were all laughing as I chuckled before grabbing the water gun an soaking each of them. Today is my last day with them and it was a great day.

"Logan! Fear the queen of mean!"

As I woke up the next morning which was a Saturday, my mom and dad entered my room with bags at hand and a sad smile. My younger siblings came running inside and hugged me with a bone crashing hug.

"Are you ready, darling?" My dad asked me as he sat on the bed. My mom soon joined as I sat up and sighed.

"Honestly, I'm not." I said while my smiled putting a strand of hair behind my ear.

"You got this baby girl, today is your night." She  said as I smiled.

"Though we should really get ready." I nodded and looked at the bags on the floor.

"Makeover time!" My siblings yelled as I groaned.

While I got my hair and makeup ready. My nerves started building up little by little. I was already looking different, like those popular girls who will always bully me along with the guys in that group. My mother was a true makeup artist and amazing at styling hair. No wonder why she still looks in her 20s. As she finished she looked at me like if I was some sort of celebrity. She walked towards one of the bags and pulled out a black long dress with a pair of golden heels. I looked at my baggy clothing as my mom only smirked. That's when I knew I was gonna die.

As soon as I came out of the bathroom my family were all in my room with proud smiles. That also included my cousins who so happen to be going to the same high school as I am and in the same grade all dressed up as well. Unlike them, I wasn't captain in any sport, I didn't have any friends, and I am very antisocial. All three of them are dressed in their fancy tux, shiny black fancy shoes, and rocking a fresh new cut.

"Wow cuz, I never thought I would see you without a messy bun and baggy clothes." Kevin said as I chuckled.

"You look beautiful." Michael said.

"We should get going so we can find some seats."  I nodded as my other cousin Joshua led the way. I swear that boy is gonna be hard to break, he never talks and always looks so serious. At least he isn't straight up rude to anybody.

While we exited the house and hopped into our car, my dreams will either come true or it won't. My nerves were building up and I was shaking uncontrollably. Not like a maniac of course. But while I was deep in my thoughts the car stopped, I looked out of the window and see that we were finally here.

Others were getting off and looking amazing as I stayed put.

"Would it be too late if I say I would rather go to jail then be here?" I asked out loud as my dad gave me that stare.

My cousins all got off first than me.

"You ready, my lady?" Michael asked as he put his arm out for me hold. I nodded as we all walked inside the school with one another and entered the auditorium.

The seats were all labeled with our names. People were all talking with their friends, but like I said, I was a loner. I simply pulled out my phone and opened the app Wattpad where I was reading one of my favorite books. Who knew dating a gang leader could be so terrifying yet romantic at the same time. Though I feel that I would die right away, my poor excuse of endurance will literally kill me, like who needs weapons whenever your body begins to hate you for working out?

"Dude I hope I get that chick over there." I looked up from my phone to make eye contact with the captain of the lacrosse team. He simply smirked as I ignored him and looked back down to my phone.

"Omg, I love your dress!" One girl said as she walked up to me. I instantly knew her. Her name is Lindsey, future fashionista and straight A student. She is popular but also hangs out with the "nerds" most of the time. I smiled at her and shut my phone off.

"Thanks, I like your dress as well." I said to her.

"Aww thank you, I made it." My jaw dropped as I looked completely off guard. I can barely make a sandwich.

"Oh I have to go, my name is Lindsey by the way."

"Logan." She smiled and wondered off to another group of friends.

Quickly I sat down at my seat and turned on my phone. But while that is happening, many girls are whispering to themselves about some hot guy they have never seen before. Curious, I looked around and manage to see a Greek god. I calm myself, remembering that there is like a small chance I would ever get to be with this guy. He looked rather annoyed about all the attention he's getting and just stuck his nose in his phone.

People began sitting down as he sat down right in front of me. My world was finally going to present itself. The lights dimmed and the principals walked on stage. Their proud smiles and amazing outfits totally showed they have been getting everything planned out since last year.

"Welcome everybody! I hope your ready, because today, everything is going to change."
