Prologue

Alex p.o.v

   I wake up as my sister bouncing drew my sleep away "What" I drew out as my eyes snaps open, ignoring the sensation to rub it." Well, mom left around 5 and dad has been working overnight, it's 7 and school starts at 8" She says resting her arms on her hips. "Maggie, is this the best time to remind me of the world's problem'' I say, stretching out of bed ''If, it gets me to school then yes'' She answers skipping out of my room. My feet shuffle along the wooden board as I make my way to the bathroom, I walk over to the sink facing the mirror as a freckled teen boy came to my view. I speed my way in the bathroom, brushing, washing and dressing. I settle for those furry celebrity hoodies and khaki pants as I rush to the kitchen.I enter the kitchen faced with my sister stuffing fruit loops in her mouth, uncivilized I know. I grab an apple as my sister hands over a letter probably from our mother.

 Alex, your father and I are going to be coming back late so dinners in the microwave and turkey's in the oven. Tell Mrs Charles to send the boys over after school, don't forget to take the keys. -love Mom.

"Love mom'' I scoff out biting into my apple. ''We have 20 minutes minus 10 minutes drive'' Maggie says dropping her bowl in the sink. ''Wow, my sister is suprisely good in Math'' I reply sarcastically, ''Let's go for a coffee run '' wait for it, I say in my mind ''at Starbucks '' She finishes. ''Drinking Starbucks doesn't count as drinking coffee'' I say grabbing my keys heading for the door once we are out, "Besides....'' I say before my mouth was clamped by surprise. ''Besides what.... Oh! do you like it'' she says pointing bat the strange marking on the pavement. ''You made this'' I said in awe. ''Yes'' she nods her head. ''It's amazing and am sure mom went cahoot'' I say jumping over the artwork. ''Yeah she did, she screamed my name louder than Dave could scream ALVIN'' She runs towards the car screaming the Alvin bit. We both hopped into the car zooming our way to Starbucks, I said Starbucks isn't coffee doesn't mean I won't drink it.

I drop my sister off at the front of the school, her strange friends hollering her over while I go park the car at the assigned senior's parking lot, I know perks of being a freshman.I enter the school through the backdoor, stepping into the half empty, half full hallways. I scan the halls looking for my best friend - Jenny . After, 5 minutes I give up sighing and then make my way to the lockers. I reach my locker faced with a black haired and blue eye specimen otherwise known as Jenny. ''Have been looking for you'' I say my eyes fixated on her black butler shirt.
