Chapter 2:

Ellie Roger:

I opened the grey car door of my Holden Cruse and hopped in, grabbing a hold of the black seatbelt.

I heard my seatbelt click in and i put my hands around the black steering wheel, driving out of the automatic double doored garage.

As I drove along I twisted the volume button up to about sixteen and hummed rather loudly to Demons by Imagine Dragons.

I could see the view if the black gates to the school that were wide open for the students to drive in a park in the car park.

I found a parking spot in the third row, fourth spot, in which was next to my boyfriend Alex's Audi R7.

I found myself smiling at the fact he had decided to turn up on this twenty five degree Celsius day.

Opening the car door back up with my long, skinny fingers, I slid out of the car gently.

Shutting the door I looked at myself in the car mirror.

My hair was in a best pony tail and my round, black rimmed glasses sat across my kaleidoscope eyes and touched the bridge of my tiny nose.

I sucked in a breath and turned around on the soles of my feet that had black, leather ravens on them.

I put my heavy, purple back onto my shoulders and walked into the school where I would meet up with my best friend Livvi.

I scratched the side of my face with the tip of my sharp nail and put my arm back against my side.

My arms swung slightly as I walked towards the canteen area.

I spotted the familiar brown haired girl in the canteen line up, fiddling with her gold coins.

I laughed and walked over towards a metal pole that was situated on the right wide of the canteen, catching Livvi's brown eyes.

She waved towards me showing her nearly straight teeth, smiling.

I waved my hand back at her and smiled too before setting my arm to my side once again.

Livvi was third in line.e

In front of her was a guy with bleach blonde hair, then a girl with short, choppy, brown and blonde hair.

It actually looked really pretty.

It was her new hairstyle.

The small girl was in my class, with the name Lisa. 

My head turned towards my left and I saw three figures walking straight ahead, in which one was my boyfriend Alex.

Nobody knew about him, even Livvi who I told nearly everything to.

It was out little secret and I loved it.

The best thing about him was his gorgeously breathtaking smile and also the way he laughed cutely at me when I got excited or happy about something.

I wished we didn't have to keep it a secret but our relationship was strong.

We'd been going out for around two months.

I stopped smiling and turned my attention back towards Livvi who was making her way over to me, her smile showing her dimple on the right side of her tanned cheek.

"Ellie! Want a muffin?" She asked holding out a vanilla, choc chip muffin.

"Yep. I didn't have time to eat breakfast this morning." I smiled at my best friend in appreciation.

"I'll pay you back tomorrow." I bit into the warm muffin that had just been put in the school microwave and licked the crumbs from my lips.

"No, it's okay. I know how hard it is for you to get breakfast in the morning while your parents are harping at you to hurry up twenty four seven. I honestly don't know how you put up with them." Livvi pondered.

"Oh, I can assure you that it is a very difficult task." I sighed in contemplation.

"I feel you, I feel you."

"No you don't." I laughed at her.

Before she got the chance to reply the bell rung loudly and I dropped my bag onto the floor, taking the last mouthful of my muffin.

Kneeling down onto my knee I unzipped my bag and reached into it, grabbing my timetable.

I looked at the green piece of paper and came to the conclusion that I had English after rollcall.

I folded the paper and stuffed it back into my bag that I put over my shoulders once again and walked alongside of Livvi.

We turned to the left, making our way over to the grey stairs that led to B block.

In a couple of seconds we were at the bottom of the stairs, ready to walk up them.

I put my right foot on the bottom step, then my left.

Continuing this process for about ten steps, Livvi and I were in the open spaced corridor that had teenagers rushing past.

When we got to the ends of the corridor it was evident that only three others had made it to rollcall so far. 

Nicole Vandeviere who stood with her guy friend; Kenji Montello.

Kenji was this unnaturally buff guy who loved play pranks on everyone.

Once he destroyed my science work, causing me to have a major freak out where I stood up with a tear making its way down my slightly tanned cheek that was a natural tan.

He told me in these exact words, "no offense, but Ellie, you seriously have to loosen up."

It was quite true though, but I couldn't just loosen up about that.

My parents would have a major freak out if they found out my school work wasn't completed to full standards and at all at that, too.

I heard the jingling of keys and turned around to see the tall lady with shoulder length chestnut hair that had a very nice fringe.

Her name was Miss Daquan.

She was an awesome teacher at around the age of twenty four.

One of the youngest teachers along with her boyfriend who was a hit P.E teacher.

Don't worry I'm not trying to seduce the guy.

That'd be undeniably gross.

Besides I've got an amazing, secret boyfriend.

The silver key met with the silver lock and the teacher twisted the key into the lock, revealing the empty classroom apart from the yellow tables and blue chairs that were tucked neatly underneath the desks.

Livvi and I paced over to the front row seats that were situated on the right side and sat down, staring at the smiling teacher.

She had her roll in her slender arms, with a black pen in her right hand.

I heard the door opening as fourteen students walked in chatting away to their friends, sitting in their preferred seats.

I turned my head back towards the teacher and fiddled with the navy blue sleeve of my school jacket.

"Owen Aaron?"

"Here!" A boy at the back of the class shouted while trying is best to stop moving his fiddling hands.

Owen was ADHD.

"Marley Burke?"

"Yep." She answered not even bothering to look up at the teachers hazel eyes.

"Trey Denver?"

There was no answer in the room and I gathered that him and Harvey Raylend, along with their best friend Fox, were skipping rollcall and first period.

Fox.

Not his real name, and everyone knew that just not what his actual name was.

You see he registered his name as Fox, plain old Fox in the school system.

With allowance from his parents of course.

"Livvi Dylan?"

"Yup." My best friend answered from beside me with her smiling face looking at the smiling teacher.

Those two were like the smiling buddies.

I rarely ever caught them both not smiling.

I felt like tuning out but despite that I continued to listen after remembering that there was some possible way for my dad to find out if I was paying attention in class.

My mum and dad would ground me with ease if they knew I was daydreaming in class, trust me, they've done it before.

"Amy Fuller?"

There was no answer and Livvi and I turned to look at the second row, where sure enough, Amy's seat was not occupied.

"Toby Grey?"

I heard a whispered, "here." And nodded my head at miss to tell her that he was in fact, here.

"Melissa Gross?"

"Yep, I'm here." She said and turned back towards her friend, Catherine Manning whose name was called in the time I was studying Melissa talking.

"Kenji Montello?"

"Yes miss, I am here, no need for fear!"

Everyone in the class snickered along with Livvi and I.

"Harvey Reyland?"

No answer and the class rolled their eyes in expectance.

"Ellie Roger?"

"Here." I answered the teacher.

While she called out the rest of the class I tuned her out but kept my eyes on her in order for everyone to not be suspicious about the fact that I was daydreaming, despite the fact that I knew nearly every single person was already doing so.

From underneath the desk I checked my white samsung galaxy S2 phone for a text message from Alex, but instead found one from my dad.

-Good Luck on that Maths test today. Remember you must achieve 100% and the worst being 99%. No exceptions. You'll be grounded otherwise. Your mother says good luck as well. We love you sweetly. Have fun with the day :)-
