Chapter 1
Kate’s POV
“KATE GET YOUR ASS UP.”
SHIT. It’s 5:30 am. I woke up 30 minutes late.. mom is going to kill me.
I get up out of bed. I cringe as my bare feet touch the freezing cold floor. I get dressed in a white tshirt, black skinny jeans, and black converse. I quickly put my hair up, and put on makeup. I run downstairs as fast as I can so I don’t get beat again. I make my mom and step dad breakfast.
“Hey mom.. Hey Dave..” I quietly mumble
“Don’t ‘hey’ us. It is 6 am. And we still don’t have breakfast. We outta punish you for that.” Said Dave, my step dad. He then grabs my arm and I’m roughly pushed against a wall. Falling down the wall in pain, quietly crying. I don’t dare make a noise scared something will happen.
“Get up and make us breakfast. Or I’ll make your punishment even worse when you get home after school.” Dave said grinning.
I stare at him wide eyed. I quickly get up and make Dave and my mom breakfast. I made eggs, bacon, sausage, and pancakes. I quickly set two plates with food on it and bring it to them.
“About time.” Said my mom looking at me with a disgusted look.
Oh. I suppose I should introduce myself. Mine name is Kate LaRose. I am 16 years old almost 17. My mom wasn’t always mean to me. When my dad died in a car accident she blamed it on me because I was the one who wanted McDonald’s and he got it for me. After he died she met Dave and told Dave what happened to my dad. Well, in either words told him that I was the one who got him killed. So now I’m basically there maid. And when I don’t do something they like Dave beats me.
I looked at the clock. 7:30 am it read.
Shit. I’m going to be late for school.
I quickly grab my keys, and leather jacket, run to my car and off to school I go. Yay...
RILEY’S POV
“MOM...DAD! IM GOING TO SCHOOL!”
“ALRIGHT. BE CARFUL!!”
I get my keys and go to my new school. Once I get there. I start getting nervous. Not because I’m new to the school. But because I’m different. I don’t wanna hurt anyone. I’m here for a new start. I take a deep breath. Get out of my car. And start walking to my new school.
"Here we go..”
KATES POV
As I walk into school I noticed everyone gathering around someone. But I can’t see who. So I walk closer and see the most beautiful boy I have ever seen. I see his eyes meet mine, I quickly look down and run to my locker.
RIIINNNNGGGGG
First bell. I quickly grab my books and walk to class quietly. As I get to class I notice the boy is in my class. He is standing by the teacher. As soon as everyone settled down and last bell rang I notice he is looking at me. I look down and start drawing on my notebook.
“Mrs. LaRose. What is the answer.”
I look up and see everyone in the class looking at me.
“I don’t know..” I say quietly. Everyone in the class laughs. I look down. And I feel a tap on my shoulder. I look up and see the boy sitting in the desk right next to me.
I stare at home wide eyed. He’s go beautiful. He has dark brown maybe black hair. With a very beautiful blue eyes. He is wearing a black tshirt, black jeans, and black Jordan’s.
I clear my throat.
“Yes?” I mumble.
“Hi. My name is Riley. What’s yours?”
“Um.. hi. I’m... Kate.” I say
RILEY’S POV
As I walk into school I am surrounded by a huge crowd of people. Mostly girls which some are pretty hot. I try walking away from the crowd. I look up and away from everyone and see the most beautiful girl I have ever seen looking at me. And time stops.
Oh my god. She is beautiful. I thought.
I see her look down and run away. I try to get to her but I can’t. There are too many people. When I finally get threw the crowd I get my books and walk to class.
As I enter the class room I stand by the teacher and see her walk past me. God. She smells amazing.
RIIIINNNNGGGGG
Second bell. Everyone settles down and looks at me.
“Good morning class. As you can see we have a new student today. I will let him introduce himself.”
“Um.. hi. My name is Riley Black. I transferred here from New London. And um... yeah..” I say nervously.
I look at the girl and see her drawing on her notebook.
“Alright Mr. Black. You can have a seat right next to Mrs.LaRose.” I see her pointing toward the girl. I nod m head and quietly walk to my seat.
I stare at her drawing in awe. Wow. She can really draw! I thought to my self.
“Mrs. LaRose. What is the answer.”
She looks up and looks confused.
“I don’t know..” she mumbles.
Everyone in the class starts laughing. I feel bad for her as she looks down embarrassed. I tap her shoulder.
She looks at me for a few seconds with wide eyes.
“Yes?” She says quietly. Her voice is like music. Sweet, calming, angelic!
“Hi. My name is Riley. What’s yours?”
“Um... Hi....I’m...Kate.” Kate. That’s a beautiful name. Kate LaRose.
