Aiden's POV
I hated waking up early but there was something special about this morning. It was the beginning of high school and I'm just so excited about the thrills it would bring to my clumsy clique all I could think of was driving to school in my brand new red poshe I had got last summer.
High school was going to be lit and I'm going to make sure of that.
Maximus, his younger brother walked into the room.
"Morning there," he said; there's something about the way he smiled that made me happy
"You're an A straight student, lacrosse captain and you're every girls delight."Max grinned sheepishly. "Being late on your first day as a senior doesn't look good on you," He prompted with a smile.
"So young man ,"he said with a smirk you gotta hurry up that car ain't gonna drive itself to Suitland high and Mum has been telling you to come down for breakfast.
"It's going to be cold in no time and we don't want to start out first day hungry do we." He giggled.
"No we don't, jungle boy," I added
Jungle boy was actually my own nickname but calling Maxwell the name reminded me of things so distant yet near.
I was adopted when my parents couldn't have a child. But now they gave birth to Max and we're proud parents.
"Hey boys! Get down here or I'll feed your food to the dogs." Mum shouted.
"We'll be down in a minute," we said in the midst of laughter.
I grabbed my files I need to load in my locker, reached for my keys and ran downstairs. Max is such a traitor he left immediately he heard mum's voice. Sounds like a great brother
Mum and Dad were already at the kitchen counter. Seems today is a busy day for everyone. Dad has to be at a neurological society dinner and he was excited about it
"Look Mike I know you love what you do but I'm not going to that dinner with you," Mum said as placed lemonade and cookies on the table.
"I'm fusing transected spinal cords, I'm stimulating neurogenesis in the central nervous system." The work I'm doing is gonna save thousands for years to come.Smiling in pride, Dad replied
"Mike, honey, I'm so proud of you."Unable to resist,she reached out and ruffled his hair. But all you guys do is talk about stuff things I don't even know of , what's the point?
Max and I exchanged amused glances Max mouth stopped in midmotion and his gaze went from mine to Mum's and he set his cup down and blurted out " This is why I don't wanna be a doctor," it's too much stress.
"Same here," I added, Now hurry up or you're going to drive yourself to school in a bike.
By the time Max finished his breakfast Dad had gone to work and Mum was with our next door neighbor. She had gotten sick twice this week and I'm pretty sure it's because of the potatoes she consumes.... she's always eating them like all the time.
I arrived in school and met Reggie by his car. He's my best friend and we've been best friends since middle school.
Our other friends Stuart and Charles drove in almost immediately. We're known as SCAR. People call us that cause we're always together, it's an abbreviation of our names and not to brag the hottest guys in the Suitland High.
"Look who found their way to hell," Reggie said laughing almost immediately.
"Morning citizens" Stuart added. I really don't want to be the voice of reason but we're late for class.
Stuart was the brightest among us. He was an honor student and his mum is the first female and current principal.
He's the main reason we're mostly out of trouble.
We headed towards our history class
"Oh God! ," Charles blurted out . He looked quite irritated. First day of senior year and it's history, just great.
This is going to be a very long year.
Our history teacher was one sad man so most of the class we pretended to be listening and Reggie was talking to the blonde next to him. He's one big flirt. Just when the class was almost over Jessie walked in. We haven't talked since we broke up and and she looked pretty sad.
"Can I have a minute with you," she asked
" Sure" I responded looking really confused.
We made our way to the hallway, leaning on a locker she started crying.
"Aiden I know I ended things with you," She said as she wipe her tears ." I was just so angry that I couldn't even explain why I acted that way."
"You didn't just mess things up, you ruined my summer and now I've got thousands of text from different girls that I don't even know on Instagram.
Look you're the leader of the cheerleaders (the vixens) and everyone loves feelings matter you know I love you Jessie but these days you're just out of place." I said letting out a slow,heavy breath.
That day at Charles party before you picked me up, my dad got a letter of transfer to California. We'll be moving before Christmas. I was so pissed and I knew we would eventually break up so I did it earlier so we could get over it and be friends before I leave.
"You say it like we haven't spent the last two years as a couple" I said heavily. That ain't fair.
"It's not so easy for me Aiden , leaving you behind and facing the unknown scares the shit out of me.
I completely understand but you know I'm always here for you. But now that we're at peace can I get a hug
What's up love birds, Chloe, the elegant red haired, Reggie's younger sister, the editor of the school magazine and the soon to be leader of the vixens popped up
Chloe, you can't just do that, there's something called privacy
"Oh !" my bad I'm just so excited, I'm giving a school tour to a new student who happens to be the new adopted child of the royal family.
Make sure you don't bore her to death
I won't and she has a name it's Arabella ....... Our new grand princess.....
