Chapter 1

Brett Mitchell woke up for his first day of junior year not realising it was going to set a new path for the rest of his life. At 6:30 Brett's alarm went off, he let it beep for a few seconds before lifting his RM from beneath the cover and smacking it down on the table next to his bed, once it finally turned off, he rolled over and went back to sleep. But not even ten minutes later his step sister Stacie came in his room.

She crept into the room to find him still asleep, so she came up with a plan on how to wake him up. She crept up towards his bed, waited for any movement and when she found none she jumped on his bed and sat on his back.

"Wakey, wakey brett. It's time for school you need to get up." Stacie shouted I to his ear, earning a groan in response. She repeated her actions except this time waking him up, only to have him push her of him.

"Jesus Stace, what the hell do you want" Brett groaned into his hands as his hid his eyes from the sun once Stacie opened the curtains.

"you need to get up, it's the first day of our junior year, aren't you excited" Stacie said with too much enthusiasm for 6:30am.

"Oh my god, I'm sooo excited" Brett said sarcastically. "i don't even wanna go, I'm not gonna learn anything so I don't know why I just can't quit." Brett responded whilst getting out of bed and walking over to his wardrobe.

"come on Brett, we've only got two years and then we're free. You know I can't do this without you". Stacie asked as she followed Brett into the bathroom whilst he brushes his teeth.

Brett stops brushing to turn around and face Stacie, he can see how much she need him and sighs. "Fine, but once high school is down, me and young are leaving. And we will never look back". Brett promises. Stacie can see that he means it and runs into his body with her arms open, he freezes upon contact but then relaxed, once he realised how much she needs this hug.

Stacie pulls away and looks at him with a big smile, "thank you". Stacie responds, she then turns around and heads to her room to getting herself ready for the day.

Brett and Stacie arrive at their school at 7:45 on Brett's motorbike. As soon as they get off the bike Jess pulls up next to them in his car, they wait around till the bells goes before the walk into the school. He enters his science classroom and takes a seat at the back next to his best friend Luke. They spend the first five minutes messing round till the classroom door opening catches Brett's attention, he does a quick look to the door before facing back towards Luke. But in that moment something or someone caught his eye, he shot his head back round to face the figure walking through door and he couldn't help but stare. Walking through the door is the most gorgeous women Brett has ever seen, as she stops to talk to the teacher he takes a better look at her. From across the classroom he can see red, not like a dark red that makes you think of darkness, but a colour so beautiful it resembles the sun or fire. As she finishes talking to the teacher she starts walking towards the only available seat, which just happened to be in front of him. The closer she gets the more features he can see, the most mesmerising one is her eyes, there not like Brett's, a dark stormy blue that resembles the rough sea. No. Hers are the lightest shade of blue he's ever seen in someone's eyes. There the complete opposite to his, more like the calm ocean by the beach. They could feel so much joy in someone just by looking into them.

He doesn't realise how long he's been staring till Luke punches him in shoulder after he ignored him for the third time, he quickly spins around to face, anger evident on his face.

"Woah, chill dude, no need to get all angry. But if I was you I would stop staring, it's kind creepy" Luke says defensively as he raises his hands up. Brett just scoffs and raises his middle finger.

The rest of the class goes by in a blur, Brett spent most of the lesson staring at the back of the new girls head. When the bell rung he gathered his stuff and headed towards the door, he wanted to wait for the redhead and introduce himself. However he never got the chance as he was dragged away by Luke to their next class. Gym. It's not that Brett hated this lesson, he just hated the sports they had to do. He wasn't bad at basketball or football, but they weren't his thing. His sport was boxing, and damn as he good, I mean if winning the underweight championship twice in Atlanta was good. Today was his lucky day though, as it was the first day and everyone who does gym is required to do some sort of club, they get the choose what they want to do today. So for Brett, Luke and Jesse that means boxing on the field.

After everyone gets changed and leaves the locker rooms Brett notices red hair going out onto the field standing very close the blonde, even though he could only see the back of the blondes head he knew exactly who it was. Aubrey Posen, or better known as Luke's uptight girlfriend. It wasn't that he hated Aubrey, they just didn't get along in the slightest. It doesn't help either that she's best friends with Stacie, so they have to see each other a lot more than each would like. No one knows why they dislike each other, and it's not from a lack of asking. Everyone it gets brought up it gets knocked down straight away.

Just before lesson starts he sees his step sister walking towards the duo, and Brett thinks this is the best opportunity to talk to the redhead, so he grabs Luke by the collar and all but drags him towards them, ignoring all the questions thrown at him on the way.

"Stace" he shouts as soon as he's close enough, the tall brunette turns around at the sound of her brother voice and waves him other. He gives her and hug as Luke does the same to Aubrey, once finished he turns and faces the redhead, and in that moment he truly sees how beautiful she is. The redhead notices him staring and ducks her head with a small blush, this does not go unnoticed by Stacie. She leans in towards him and whispers. "Pick up your jaw, your drooling. Idiot". This snaps Brett out of his gaze to glare at his sister, who decides to speed things up and Introduce everyone.

"uh, boys I'd like to Introduce you to Chloe Beale. She just moved here from Florida. And Chloe, this is Luke, Aubrey's boyfriend. And this is Brett, my brother". Chloe looks back up and waves at Luke before turning towards Brett who is still in awe of her. She waves and smiles, but this is not just any smile, this smile and butterflies to Brett's stomach and made him blush.

"Hi, it's not to meet you all" she replies with a smile and a bubbly attitude. Just as Brett was about to reply the coach shouted at them to get a move on, he watched as the girls walked toward the rest of the cheerleader's, before the boys went to go did Jesse and start boxing.

The rest of the lesson went by quickly, the redhead and brunette sneaking shy glances at each other when the other wasn't looking. The brunette would watch in amazement as Chloe practiced with the cheerleader's, she was doing twists and turns in short shorts and a low cut best top that was sending him crazy. Whereas the red head would peer over and look at the boys as the held up punching bags for each other and practiced, however her sight was on one boy in particular. She would watch how his muscle would flex with every punch and kick, and how every time he got to sweaty he would lift up his shirt to wipe his face, giving her a nice shot of his abs. Aubrey watched from a distance how she would squirm or fiddle with the hem of her top every time he did, so she made a mental note to speak to her after lesson had finished. She couldn't let another girl fall for his charm to then be dropped when the next girl came along.
