"You're fine. You look
fine," Alissa Steele said to her reflection in the full
length mirror next to her closet. After a half hour of attacking
her entire closet, she came up with a near perfect outfit for her
first day at North Sanburn High. It consisted of her favorite pair of
skinny jeans, a dark red Abercrombie hoodie, a tight white tank top,
and black converse. It was nothing special, Ally didn't want
to stand out, but to completely blend in.
Her brown hair was flawlessly straightened, and she bobby-pinned
her side bang back into a bob. A small amount of eyeliner and
mascara coated her big, green eyes, and tiny heart-shaped studs
were in her ears. She really had no idea how beautiful she
was.
"Everythings going to be fine,"
Alissa
continued her attempts to comfort herself. She had newly moved to
a small city named Sanburn, and if that wasn't bad enough today was
her first day as a high schooler. She wasn't complaining
though. Her parents had recently divorced; her dad in jail, and
the thought of spending another day back there scared her to
death.
"Ally! You're going to be late for your first day!"
Nicole Haddson called from downstairs.
"Coming, Mom!" Alissa yelled. Taking one last look at
herself in the mirror, she grabbed her bag and hurried down the
stairs. Her mom was standing in front of the stove in the
kitchen, watching over a pancake.
"Good morning, Mom," Ally gave her mom a quick
one-handed hug, and lifted herself onto the counter.
"Good morning, sweetheart. Get a plate. Pancakes are okay,
right?" Nicole asked.
Ally ducked down so her mom could get a plate from the cabinet
behind her, and then answered, "Yeah Mom, fine."
She quickly scarfed down her pancakes and a glass of milk.
Glancing at the clock on the oven, Ally panicked when she
realized how close she was to missing the bus. She grabbed her
bag, stopping only to kiss her mom goodbye, her eyes lingering on
the long scar lining her mother's collarbone. No matter how
many times she looked at it, it always jumped out to her like it
was a purple giraffe
"Go on, you're going to be late," Nicole noticed
where Alissa's eyes lay, and hurried her along. Ally
ran to her bus stop, her mind a thousand miles away.
"Hey, watch who you're attacking!" a deep,
absolutely heavenly voice said, as it's owner put his hands
on Ally's shoulders to steady her.
"Huh?" Ally said, broken out of her thought processing,
then realized that she had bumped into someone someone, "Oh
right, sorry."
"It's okay," that incredible voice chuckled. Ally
looked up, half expecting to see some gorgeous - beyond - belief
movie star.
"Hi," Ally said softly. The boy standing in front of
her was much, much better than a movie star.
