Chapter 1

The sunlight filtering in through the window woke the slumbering young man, he yawned and sat up in bed.

'Another day already, better hurry then.' He thought to himself.

Quickly getting out of bed he hurried through to the bathroom and showered before quickly drying off and re-entering his room. He quickly got dressed and, rubbing the sleep out of his eyes, yawning again, he did one last check before the mirror.

Said young man was tall, at five foot eleven in height, sixteen years old with an average body frame albeit with broad shoulders, he had naturally tanned skin and close cropped reddish brown hair, he also had faint facial hair the same colour, a roundish face and olive green eyes. He was clad in a simple pair of cargo shorts, a red T-shirt under a black unzipped hoodie and simple sneakers.

"Kyle, breakfast!" His mother Cindy, called up from downstairs.

He quickly called. "Okay mom, be right there."

Kyle Sherman smiled lightly and, finally feeling awake and ready, left his bedroom and headed downstairs for breakfast. Now he actually felt ready to face the upcoming day. He talked briefly with his mother during breakfast after which he grabbed his backpack and left the house, ready to head for school.

Upon leaving the house he saw he wasn't the only one and grinned.

"Hey Jamie, morning."

The young man he greeted turned, a little startled but then smile.

"Ah, hey Kyle, yeah...morning."

The young man in question was Jamie Townley, another sixteen year old boy, five foot seven in height with an average build and fair skin. He had short dark red hair and hazel eyes, he was wearing glasses along with denim jeans, a white T-shirt and simple black sneakers.

Jamie smiled nervously. "So, what's up?"

Kyle smiled back, trying to be reassuring, he was shy true, but once he got to know someone he was friendly and open with them. Jamie meanwhile was even more introverted, trying his best to socialize but struggled greatly. Kyle felt that at least he was trying and the two had become fast friends when they started school here in Seattle together, due to both being new kids.

"Nothing much, just ready for another day." Kyle remarked. "Which reminds me, we better go and get Sean, huh?"

Jamie nodded in agreement. "Right behind you, man."

Together they crossed the road, heading to the house opposite, where another of their friends, Sean Diaz lived. Knocking on the door they were soon answered, not by Sean, but by a skinny nine year old Mexican-American boy with tan skin, short messy dark brown hair, brown eyes and clad in cargo pants with a red T-shirt, a blue unbuttoned flannel shirt and black sneakers.

It was Sean's little brother who Kyle greeted at once. "Hey Daniel, morning."

Daniel grinned. "Hi Kyle, Jamie, what's up?"

"Hey, we just, came to pick up Sean for school" Jamie replied.

They heard a laugh in response to that

The one who laughed was a Mexican man, tall with a strong build, tan skin and short dark brown hair, brown eyes and an unshaven look, clad in oil stained jeans, a cream shirt and brown boots. It was Daniel and Sean's mechanic father, Esteban Diaz.

"Hear that Sean, better get a move on, your friends are here." He called out before turning to them and explaining. "Sean slept in...so what else is new."

Both boys laughed in response as Sean, who was the same age as them and the same height as Jamie, with short dark brown hair, brown eyes and tan skin, as well as a toned runner's build, emerged, groaning and shaking his head. He was dressed simply in black jeans, a light blue T-shirt under a darker blue V-necked sweater and white sneakers.

"Yeah, ha-ha dad." He mumbled. "Hey guys."

Kyle shook his head. "C'mon dude, we better hurry if we're gonna catch the bus."

Sean nodded and the trio left, they had to get to the bus stop to catch the school bus while Esteban would be dropping Daniel off at school.

"So, slept in huh?" Kyle queried.

Sean rolled his eyes. "Urgh, c'mon, give me a break."

Jamie shook his head. "Kyle's just saying Sean, you don't see us sleeping in."

"Okay fine, but I know what I do see." Sean remarked, a smirk appearing on his face as he nodded to the bus stop ahead of them. "Lyla."

Both Kyle and Jamie turned their attention to the bus stop when he said that.

Standing there, smiling and waving to them was a girl of seventeen, around medium height with chin length black hair, brown eyes and pale skin, her face showed signs of her Asian heritage and she had a slender build. She was clad in black yoga pants with a dark blue long sleeved T-shirt and grey sneakers. It was Lyla Park, another friend and Kyle smiled and waved back in response. He was cut short by Sean nudging him in the ribs.

"What?" He hissed.

Sean smirked and indicated Jamie with his thumb. Kyle couldn't help the smirk on his face when he saw Jamie. The moment he had seen Lyla, Jamie's eyes widened and he went red. Shaking his head Sean walked over to talk to Lyla while Kyle managed to get Jamie's attention.

"Huh?"

Kyle grinned. "Dude, you got it bad."

"Oh, I just..." Jamie stammered. "Urgh, never mind."

Kyle tilted his head, confused. "Dude?"

Jamie just shook his head and they caught up with Sean.

"About time you guys, c'mon, the bus will be here soon." Lyla greeted them cheerfully.

They all smiled, relaxed, happy with the familiarity of being in each other's company as the bus did indeed arrive and they got on, heading for Peacock High School.

As they made their way into the school they witnessed something, something which made both Kyle and Sean tense, on edge. What they saw was a girl they both liked, without being aware of the other's feelings, being approached by another boy, one they did not trust, for varying reasons.

Said girl was of medium height with medium long vibrant red hair, currently worn loose, brown eyes and fair skin, as well as a slender build with definite curves. She was currently wearing a white T-shirt with short purple sleeves, whitewashed jeans and simple slip-ons, her name was Jenn Murphy.

The boy was tall with a normal build, short blonde hair, grey eyes and fair skin, clad in denim jeans, a red T-shirt and white sneakers, it was Derek Anderson. They began to draw closer, Jamie and Lyla sharing a worried look at their friends' expressions. They got close enough to hear the end of the conversation.

"So..." Derek was saying with a smirk, clearly having been flirting. "I think we should..."

Jenn however looked annoyed. "Derek, I said no and my answer's not changing, now leave it."

Derek seemed put out by this but then shook his head and left. It was then Jenn spotted the group and smiled warmly at them, it looked like it was going to be an interesting start to the day.
