Chapter 1: The New Eye in town.
Waking up every morning to an annoying alarm and a little six year old sister screaming in your ear is not very great. First off, Emily, my six year old sister, loves to annoy me. I mean what younger sister doesn't love to annoy their older sister? But my sister never leaves me alone. Ever. She even tried moving her bed into my room. Whatever. Her being annoying is the least of my problems. My mom is a drunk. And my dad is never home to help me take care of Emily. On that note, my mother too. Its like my mother and I switched rolls. I'm the mother and she's the daughter. I cook and clean while she goes out with friends. I take care of Emily while she goes out with friends. I dont understand why someone as smart my dad ended up with a crap ass thing like my mother. Yeah, thats bad to say about your mother, but you try living with her for 17 years and not get tired of all this crap. And I hate being the one to explain to Emily why her mom is at the door, lying on the floor. I have to tell her that she's so tired from work she just passed out. I'm happy she's still six and believes me. Anyway. I'm Grace. I live in Chexson Valley. A small town in Delawere. Not many people knew about it. There were two schools. Chexson Middle school and Cexson High. Being i'm 17, i'm in the high school. I am in my third year. So ready to go to collage and get away. But when that somes to mind, I think about Emily. What'll happen to her? Eh.. Not thinking about this now. I stared at my clock. 5:45 a.m. I just wonder why Emily wakes up every morning to wake me up. Whatever. I sat up and pulled the covers off me.
"Emily.. Go to bed. Its to early for you to be up." I said quietly. She frowned at me.
"But.. Emily wants to get ready early like sissy." I shook my head.
"Please go to bed." She just nodded and walked away sadly. I took a deep breath and got up slowly. I walked over to my dresser. I knelt down to the last draw and pulled out a pair of black skinny jeans. I closed the draw and then open the one above it and pulled out a 'He is We' t-shirt. I threw the clothes on my bed and stood up, opening the top draw. I took out some socks, a bra, and underwear. I threw all that on my bed also and walked over to my bathroom. I undressed and turned the water on. Warm, but not too hot. As I stepped into the warm water I felt awake, alive, and happy. Showers always do that to me. As I cleaned my body and washed off the soap, I pulled the two in one shampoo out. I slowly put some in my hand and cleaned my hair. I then washed it out. I sat in there for two extra minutes, loving the warm water on my body. I turned the water off and stepped out, wrapping a towel around my fresh, clean body. I stared at the girl in the mirror across from me. I had long black hair, down to the middle of my back. My eyes were a deep green. I feel like they are the best part of me. I'm skinny, with just the right amount of curves. I dried my hair and my body. My hair was still a little wet, but I didnt care so much. I just wanted to get clothes on. I walked into my room, chaming into what I threw onto my bed. I went back into the bathroom and brushed my hair. My hair was already straight, but I pulled my flat iron out anyway and made it better. I had some wave to my hair that bothered me. People didnt even see it. But I sure did. I looked at my phone. It was 6:15. Time to get outside. I walked out of my bathroom and put my black converse on. I then put a back of gum in my back and threw my back over my shoulder, walking down the stairs. I opened my door and found my two best friends in the car with their mom. My two friends are Madison and Mia. They are sisters. As I ran down the pathway to get to the car, Madison opened the back door. I jumpped into the car.
"Hello, Mrs. Joy. Nice to see you." I said while smiling at her.
"You too, Grace." She smiled back. Madison flicked my arm.
"Guess what!" I turned my head to face my friend.
"Dont flick me, Madi-" She cut me off.
"Thats not a guess. Anyway, Mia was talking to her friend, and they heard that there is gonna be a new student today." She looked pretty happy about it.
"Not to be rude, but why the hell should I care?" She laughed at me.
"Its most likely a guy." I just stared at her with my, 'So?', look. "I dont knowm just though i'd tell you.." I nodded as Mrs. Joy clicked the button and the bakck door opened.
"Have a good day girls." We both smiled and nodded. We walked down the walkway to the school. Mia saw us and ran to her sister's side.
"Sorry. Came with my friend 'cause I woke up late." She sighed.
"No worries, Mia." I reassured her. We all walked in scilence as we always do in the morning. I looked at everyone that walked by, or that we walked by, I looked out for a new set of eyes to look into. I enjoyed doing that, It was really easy to find out what someone is feeling that way. I can tell if the person is hurt, depressed, happy, anything. I guess from always seeing those in my mom's eyes, I could see it in everyone else too. I searched and searched but didnt see any new eyes. As my three friends and I walked into the school, we all walked out different ways to our lockers. I walked over and turned my lock, opening my locker. I pulled out eveything I needed for my first two classes and stuffed it into my bag. I closed the door and saw someone standing next to me, It was a different person. 'New kid, new eyes.' Is what I thought. I looked up his body. He actually had a really great body. I gazed at his face. He had swoopy light brown hair and the greatest blue eyes. I then looked away and headed for homeroom. Oh so new boy has great eyes. And he just happenes to have the locker next to mine. This is gonna be fun.

Chapter Two: Whats your name?
As I was walking to homeroom, I looked into Noah Green's eyes. He has really pretty green eyes. Like mine, but lighter. He just so happens to be the least popular guy in school. I really dont understand why. If your eyes placed you on how popular you were, he'd be in the top 5. I've talked to him before, but he's really quiet. Thats most likely why. He doesnt open up to many people. Only his friend Jayden. They're always together. Jaden just has brown eyes. Dont get me wrong, brown eyes can be really pretty. But his eyes are always so.. tired. I guess that was the best word to describe it. I stopped at a door. The door to my homeroom. The the room with asshole boys. Yeah, that works. All of them are pervs. I think the only guy I can stand is Noah. But thats 'cause he doesnt talk to anyone but Jayden. And Jayden isnt in out homeroom. I took a deep breath and open the door. I walked in quietly, not wanting any boy to see I walked in. I took my seat next to Mia.
"Damn, Grace, took you long enough." Mia shook her head. "I had to sit here alone with Jason over there staring at my boobs."
"Ha. Sorry." I laughed while watching Jason from the corner of my eye. "You know, you said that pretty loud. I mean, look at him. His head is as bright as a tomato." We both laughed as we watched him turn around.
"I love doing that to him." She giggled and turned to the door. I did the same. The new kid walked in and she punched my arm.
"Hey! That hurt!" She just shhed me and gazed at the new kids body. I looked around. Every girl in the class was doing the same. I laughed to myself. I get that he has a great body, but dont stare. Thats kinda creepy. The only think I looked at were is eyes. He was freaked out. I laughed to myself again. Who wouldnt be? Mr. Hinkle walked in.
"Sorry I'm late class. Oh," He looked to the new kid. "I got an e-mail I would have a new student." He smiled at him. They swapped papers. New kid walked to an empty seat right next to me. Mia punched my arm again.
"Damnit, Mia. Stop doing that!" She just laughed at me. I put my head down and saw at the corner of my eye, new kid looking at me. I gazed at his eyes from the corner of my eye. So.. pretty. Near the pupil it was very hard to see, but it was a darker blue. The it got lighter. And on the outer rim, it was a darker blue. I could stare at his eyes for hours. And just as I was about to fall off my chair and full on stare into his eyes, the bell wrang and pulled me out. I stood up and waited for everyone to leave while I was picking my stuff up. When I walked out a hand touched my arm. New kid?
"Yes?" I asked him.
"Whats your name..?" He stared at me.
"G-Grace.."
"Luke." He smiled a bit. But his eyes showed lust. And that kinda freaked me out a bit. And just as soon as I wanted to ask him why he wanted to know my name, he stared walking away.
"Grace!" I turned around quickly to see Mia all up in my face. I just looked at her. "Well, fine. Dont say I hi back."
"I dont remember you saying hi. Just my name." I retorted. SHe frowned at me.
"I'm so sorry." She smirked. "Oh Grace, you were the first to talk to the hot new kid." I shook my head.
"He talked to me."
"What he say?!"
"Asked my name."
"What you say?!" I laughed at my best friend being a complete fan girl.
"I told him my name, Mia." She smiled.
"And whats his name?"
"He said his name was Luke. Then he walked away." She hugged me tightly. Yet I didnt understand why. I just ignored everything she said and kinda zoned out. I kept thinking about Luke's eyes. Why, I dont know. They just kept pulling me in. I wanted more. And I wanna know why. No one else's eyes has done that to me before.
