The Angel Earns Her Devil Horns
Prologue.
"Amber, your breakfast is getting cool!" I hear my mom scream from the kitchen downstairs.
Today is the first day of my attendance at Skyline High School. My dad got a job offer and we travelled half way across the country. I guess I like Oregon better than Minnesota. It's a good change.
"I can't decide what to wear!" I yell back at my mom. I want to make a good impression, but I want to be modest. I close my eyes and run my fingers across my shirts hanging on hangers and randomly choose one. I pull out my pink-orange blouse my Step-Dad got me for my birthday a few months ago. From there, I put on a pair of black skinny's, my leopard TOM's, and a pair of earrings that belong to my ex-best friend.
I race down the stairs, finding my mom and brother sitting at the table. I take my seat, and while doing that my mother was giving me a look I didn't quite understand.
"Are you ready for your first day at a new school, Amber?" my mother asked me as she took a bite of oatmeal.
"No. I won't know anybody, and I don't know my way around the school. Just the usual 'new girl' that everyone glares at in the halls." I said, peeling a banana. Oatmeal doesn't sound too good.
"Well you look beautiful today. You shouldn't worry, when I drove past Skyline the other day, the girls I saw didn't have any style at all. I don't think you should worry one bit." My mom always knows how to get a grin on my face.
I smile at her as I stand up and grab my brown leather bag. "I should get going, I'll see you after school," I mumble to my mom as I adjust my earring. "What time do you want me home?"
My question was interrupted by a phone call she recieved. She told me to wait a minute, but knowing my mom she'd be talking to her friend for hours.
I run up to my room and grab my phone. I have a text from my friend, Jamie, asking how everything is going. I haven't seen her since the day I left Minnesota. I'll just call her later.
As I'm heading out the door, my brother, Grant, threw a grape at me from the kitchen.
"Not cool, Grant!" I say, jokingly. He stuck his tongue out at me, acting like a 10 year old. It's hard to believe he's going to be 14 in two months.
I close the front door behind me. I walk to my car, noticing my new surroundings. "This is your new life, get used to it." I still can't process the thought through my head.
I notice a tall, dirty blonde boy standing in his doorstep across the street, reading a book. He's kind of cute, thank God he's my neighbor. I look down at the ground and slowly head for my car. I put the key in the lock, it wouldn't turn. I kept struggling, fearing that he would look over and think I'm a freak. Just to my luck, the door opens. But with that,
my bag with all my papers and registration fly everywhere onto my driveway.
I stand there for a moment, not sure what to do. I glance over, of course he's looking.
I bend down politely and start gathering my scattered belongings. When I look up, there's a tall dirty blonde helping me retrieve my papers.
"Need some help unlocking your car?" He asks me.
I just nod, unsure of what to say.
He takes the key already in the lock and turns it. It opens right away.
"My name's Kolby. Nice to meet you, neighbor," he said, happily smiling at me.
"I'm Amber, nice to meet you!" I say, a bit too giddish.
He chuckled, and handed me the last of my papers I dropped.
"Well thanks for helping, I need to get to school," I say, turning to my car.
"Are you going to Skyline? If so, I can give you a ride, if you need one." He said, pointing to his car parked across the street.
"Yeah I'm going to Skyline. Thanks, but I can drive myself." I knew it was a sign of flirting: something I wasn't ready for.
"Okay, I'll see you at school." He said, turning on his heels heading back to his house.
I just wave goodbye.
