The sun is glistening underneath her eyes, she blinked twice and opened her eyes slowly, she yawned and rubbed her eyes. She looked at her window fully opened, she sat up and stretched her limbs. She gets up while scratching her hair looking like a birds nest. She opened the door of her room and walked to her bathroom where she took a quick shower and get ready for the day.
"Jay, mom said to be ready or else she will not drop you at school." Her brother, Darby said with amusement. Jayla cursed and hurried to take her backpack and all of the things that she needs for school. She rushed downstairs and ignoring her father smirked who is looking at her daughter.
Jayla took an apple and her water bottle then put her shoes on, she kissed her father cheek and left the house in a hurry, she struggled to put her backpack on her shoulder as she sprinted toward her mom car, she slammed the door opened of her mum car and sighed in relief.
"Finally, I was wondering where you were." Her mother said with a calm smile, her mom was wearing her working outfit.
"I was getting myself ready." Her mother Karen stared at her suspiciously and then shrugged, she supposed that it must be her teenage rebel period. Jayla put an earpod on her hear and listened to her music while contemplating the view on the window.
Raven was a small city where they lived, her father worked as an accountant while her mother is a nurse, they both don't have time for their children, Jayla and Darby. Darby is a senior in college, he is majoring in finance. The younger member of the family didn't know what to do, she was going to be a sophomore in her high school. She had her mindset on being a detective, her passion for solving mysteries made her what she was today.
They reached the school in fifteen minutes, but for her, it was taking hours, she couldn't wait but to finish her day and go back home to watch criminal minds.
"Have a good day, honey." Her mother and pecked Jayla's cheek, her red lipstick was on her cheek, Jayla cringed in disgust and wiped her mom kiss.
"I'm not five anymore." She snapped and got out of the car, she tugged the strap of her backpack nervously and walked into her school, her school was small and fake. There are only 500 students and all of them are fake bitches, the 'popular group' like to bully nerds and the others are most likely to stay out of this and ignore it. There are students who are already in groups, the musicals people, artists, geek etc.
Just like cliché movies.
She sighed and shook her head, she gets inside of her school after showing her identity to the guard. She gulped anxiously and opened her locker who was still the same, she picked her books for today class which is Math, her least favourite class. She closed the locker and let out a scream, she held her poor heart and breathed heavily.
"Hey Jayla, what do we today?" Her annoying classmate, not a friend, was talking to her, she glared at him.
"What are you doing here Nolan?" She asked as she crossed her arm.
"I wanted to talk to you." He poked her arm with a grin, she shrugged him off and glared at him.
"More like bugging me." She muttered.
"Excuse me what?" Nolan asked and she shook her head.
"Nothing, now if you excuse me I have places to go." She said while licking her chapped lips, one of her tick when she's anxious.
"Don't be cold Jay, we are friends." He grinned and linked his arms with Jayla much to her displeasure, she rolled her eyes and but still complied.
Nolan Hayes was your typical hot soccer boy, he had brown hair and emerald eyes that girls envied. She didn't understand why he was hanging out with her? He belonged to the popular group while she was nobody.
"I heard new students are coming to this school." Nolan squealed and Jayla furrowed her eyebrows.
New students? She wasn't aware of this new information. Raven was known for being a small city, how comes they are new people here? She knew everyone even the mayor who knew her personally.
"Why here?" She whispered but Nolan heard it.
"I have no idea." He said and they have reached their class together, Nolan sat next to Jayla behind, she was beside the window while Nolan kept talking, she didn't care about him but the weather showing today. It was grey and cloudy. The usual weather here in Raven.
She noticed her teacher coming inside of the classroom, everyone was now quiet, only the shuffling noise and wind were heard.
"I hope you guys had a great weekend, today we have three students that are new, please make them feel welcomed." He said and pointed to the door where two boys and a girl get inside, the room started to get tensed, it was like those people were walking with such an aura that made them powerful. The girl was wearing a sundress and a cardigan, she had this big smile on her face and was gorgeous too, grey eyes and blond hair, the boy was wearing brown pants and white shirt, hazel eyes and brown hair, he was also beautiful and had a big grin on his face just like the girl and lastly the more attractive boy than the two others that had got a lot of attention from females was wearing dark clothes, mysterious and darkness was all around him, piercing blue eyes and dark hair. He was dangerously handsome.
"My name is Eleanor and this is Cole to the left," the girl said showing the brown-haired guy who waved, "and this is Maxwell." She said showing the mysterious blue eyes to her right, he didn't wave or said anything instead he looked away from them with a grunt.
Jayla narrowed her eyes to the dark-haired boy, she was analyzing him but didn't found anything from him, the only thing she knew was that he was dangerous for her and the population here in Raven.
