I opened the door, and there in front of my eyes was a feast! A land made out of food! Everyone's best friend. I squealed in excitement as I scrabbled down the hill and jumped into the river of rich chocolate. Mmm chocolate!

I want to stay here forever! I thought to myself as I wandered around the fields of sweets and sat down and devoured all of that yummy goodness. There were pretzels and gummy bears, Oreos biscuits even strawberry laces and candy floss!

"Mel!" someone called.

I look up from stuffing my face and see a tall slim figure approaching me. I scrambled to my feet quickly and there he was my Prince in shining... Minecraft diamond armor? Damn, I've been spending too much time with the twins.

"Mel!" The voice says again.

The Prince stood before me and I looked up to gaze at his beautiful face as he took off his helmet. It was Cameron Diaz. Oh can this dream get any better?! He leaned forward grabbing my waist so I was flush against him. I felt his hard chest and just the way he was looking at me made my stomach burst with butterflies. Wetting my lips and closed my eyes as he leaned in more, and more, and mo-

"Melody!" I woke up. Great.

"Mom! I think Melody is dead!" That was Levi. I can't be asked to move. Just take me back to the dream I plead to no one in particular.

"Ooh! Does that mean I can get her bed?" asked Liam, Levi's twin brother.

"No, I'm getting it!" Levi cries.

"No me because I'm older!"

"Says who?"

"The birth certificate dumbass." Liam protests.

"Bu-"Levi starts but I shot up from the pillow and glared at the two causing them to jump. "No one is getting my bed, now buzz off."

"Urg whatever," Levi says as they trail out of my bedroom. Great, I just remembered that today's school. First day back from summer vacation. I groaned as I got out of bed searching for my slippers but ended up stepping on Sap's lego brick.

"Ow!" I shout. R.I.P feet. Ever since Uncle Ricky has given her that Lego friends playset, it's been everywhere and when I mean everywhere, I mean we found it mom's lasagne once everywhere.

"Can you reduce the volume?" The evil witch, Kiara the second eldest yelled. She removed the pillow from her face and we glared at each other for a couple of seconds.

Then slowly as possible I swift towards the door, Kiara finally catching on, jumps out of bed like a kangaroo and we both head running like madmen out the door and skidded down the hallway. But just as I got close to the door, Kiara threw Lego Lily which hit my ear and when she reached me, pushed me into the laundry basket. "Ah!" I shout, my feet dangling in the air.

"Ha ha." She laughs but then Mimi, comes out of nowhere who she too looked like she wanted to arrive first and bumps heads with Kiara causing the two fall on the floor. "What the actual hell is wrong with you?" Mimi says glaring at Kiara.

I quickly get out of the basket seeing my opportunity and walk past the two sticking my tongue out and reached the bathroom door. Ha! yes! I arrived first to use the bathroom! Victory is mine! I do a little victory dance in front of the door,

"Ha bitches you thought!" I smiled sweetly at the two before turning around and Audray who sneaked behind me looking like a storm hit him and closed the door.

My jaw hit the floor as I stood there defeated listening to Audray vomiting all the alcohol he consumed at some random party loudly on probably the floor. The two laughed at me. It's always a rush to get to the bathroom first because trust me you do not want to go after anyone else

***

I look at my wardrobe. What to wear? I pondered got out a few options and texted my friend Tokyo on his opinion who ended up giving me his approval on the third and I put it on.

After having a mini-debate I decided to slicked my hair back into a ponytail and did my edges, which I beautifully slayed by the way. I grabbed my backpack and rushed down the stairs and into the kitchen. I checked the time quickly on my phone damn it it's 8:17 already!

Everyone was in the kitchen doing their own thing, Sap was being chased by mom as per usual because she refuses to take off her fairy wings, dad was grumpily sipping his coffee whilst reading the newspaper, the twins were building a waffle tower and Kiara was sitting on the barstools at the kitchen island with Mimi doing her makeup and arguing. And Audray probably passed out somewhere. Morning is usually very chaotic in our household due to our big family.

So firstly there is Audray who is 19 years old an unemployed piece of useless nothing dad calls him. He said he's taking a gap year before going to college so he can "Figure out who he is as a person" didn't know that his whole self-discovery mission involved going to parties every night come home high and sneaking cigarettes to smoke in his room.

Second eldest Kiara, who is the self-absorbed diva, lip gloss loving evil queen. I share a room with her unfortunately and she takes probably most of the room. She spends her time on her phone, doing her makeup, complaining and going out with all her different boyfriends. Once I caught boyfriend Friday in her bed when I came back home from school. I will always be scared for life. Plus Kiara owes me because if dad found out about her boyfriends! Mmm I smell fire already!

Then third we have Mimi who is probably the calmest out of all of us which is the reason why I get on with her the most. Mimi is calmer and down to earth who loves animals and all about saving the world. She also adores sports and is part of the local swim team, female's football team at school and runs a cross country club every Saturday morning that I sometimes attend when I feel in the mood.

After there is me Melody I'm the middle child, unfortunately, and being the middle child is the worst thing ever!

After me is the twins Levi and Liam who are sooo annoying and spend their time at creating chaos. Last Christmas they decided to make a trampoline made out of my shoe boxes since mom refused to buy them one and then Levi jumped and landed in the middle of the table where the food was! That day I literally cried because they ruined Christmas dinner for us!

And let's not forget the youngest Sapphire who is the devils spawn of all evil. I swear that 8-year-old child is the most dramatic and stubborn child I have come across at and she's always wearing her fairy wings. And sometimes she scares me. Everyone in her class is afraid of her. Once she and I was watching Jaws and she laughed at the scenes when people were being eaten but cried when the shark dies.

"Sap baby stop being so difficult! Miss Butterfly said you can't bring your fairy wings to school!" Mom pleaded.

"No! I want to keep them, and as for Miss Fly she can die in a hole!" Sap screams running past me as I walk to the kitchen island.

"Sap! Don't say things like that! Greg, please tell your daughter to take her wings off." Mom says resting on a chair.

"Please listen to your mother Sapphire," Dad says warily.

"Morning everyone," I say cheerfully only to get grunts as replies. I start chopping some strawberries and mango. "Oh and Audray," I say only to find the guy sleeping on his waffles. I lean over to wake him up. That's what happens when you party all night. I shake him again.

"Audray you're sleeping on your food."

He wakes all of a sudden syrup dripping from his face.

"What time is it?"

"Time to get your life together," Mimi says patting his back as she leaves.

"Ha funny anyways whatcha say?"

"Oh just to remind lucky you that you don't need to drop me to school anymore."

"Oh finally!" he breathes in relief. I roll my eyes.

"I should be saying that you and your friends are so annoying." Since Audray is the only one who actually has a driving license and I refuse to take the school bus he dropped me off. But his friends wanted rides to so they would spend most of all the car journeys blasting their dreadful rap music that doesn't make sense and jump up and down like we are in some flipping rodeo. And let me not even get started with their horrible habit of smoking pot in the car.

"Nah nigga, you just don't know what lit looks like!" he smiles to himself. I put the fruits in the blender.

"Morning Mel, when did you come in?" I am used to this. As annoying as it is I'm not noticed a lot. "So who's dropping you off the school?" Dad asks as he puts his coolest dad ever mug in the sink.

"Natalie, she got her car during the hols so she's my ride." I say hinting for him to buy me a car.

"Oh ok that's good sweetheart well off to work bye!" Dad announces and walks out. I pour the smoothie in the container and just then I hear,

BEEP! BEEP!

"Ok bye people of the earth!" I call as I gather my bag and phone and rush out of the house.

I walk to Natalie's car who was speaking on the phone, I throw my bag in the backseat and hop in the front.

" OK papá alguien bien sí adiós " Natalie hangs up before giving a mega crushing bear hug. "I've missed you so much chichi!"

"Omg look at your car it's actually good, although let's see how long it'll stay in good condition." She rolls her eyes and starts to drive, "Shut up I'll be the safest driver in LA!" I laughed at that because we both know that Natalie and safe cannot be in the same sentence.

"Sure whatever you say, Natalie." I sit back and breathe in actual fresh air in a car and enjoying the ride.

"You must be really happy I'm now you're personal driver now huh." She glances at the rear mirror chuckling.

"Hell year going to school with Audray's was so annoying!"

"Plus your brother car is real dirty."

"Better than the school bus." I shrug, we've been bugging Audray to wash the car for months now. Stubborn bitch.

"Better than the school bus," Natalie repeats and suddenly stops and rolls the window. "Hey perra drive faster!" she yells.

"Natalie maybe be patient?" I suggest.

"No, the bitch made us stop and wait for the red light because his rusty car was taking too long." She starts beeping the horn. I smile, Natalie and I have been besties since elementary. It all started when Miss Patterson put us together to cut out shapes. Whilst Miss Patterson was showing us how to cut with scissors Natalie got impatient and started doing her own thing and soon cut herself. I helped her wash the blood off but Miss Patterson found out and shouted at Natalie and I wiped her tears when she ran off to the toilet. Let me just tell you that Natalie and I just hate when people shout at us. But anyways we have been inseparable ever since.

"Omg sis you wouldn't believe it!" She gasps dramatically checking her make up. Natalie is the GOSSIPER of our school. You need info she's your girl.

"What? And also keep an eye on the road."

"I am! Anyways Ignis told Silva to tell Monica to tell Lizzie to tell Olivia to tell Starr to tell me that there is a new boy coming tomorrow, finally fresh meat!"

"How do you even know?"

"I have connections," She says wiggling her eyebrows.

"You should just be a spy."

"I know right but Mary Sol says that I can't because my mouth runs faster than a train. Rude!"

"Then I totally agree with Mary Sol. Plus the only connections I have is with the Vending machine lets just say I get more snacks then I'm supposed to." I smile proudly.

A car behind us beeps and yet again Natalie rolls down the window and yells, "Honk at me one more time and I'll put that up your ass idiota" Before rolling up the window she puts up her middle finger.

"Was there any need for that?" I say looking back to see who the driver was.

"Every need it's like adding seasoning to chicken, can't leave with just salt and pepper overwise it'll be plain."

"How did we jump to food, urg now I'm hungry."

"You always are." She parks the car at the school car park. "We're here!"
We arrived at school Bankriver High School. We get out of the car, lock it and grabs her phone to snap how perfectly she parked her car on the first day. "All those motherfuckers are gonna be jelly" she laughs to herself putting it on her story. We walk into school and see everyone's depressed sad faces and spot Tokyo, Alice and Mary Sol leaning on my locker.

"So I was like ok plain Jane do you have something actually, I don't know, nice in that death wardrobe of yours and she got out this ridiculous looking jeans and I was like throw the whole bitch away!" We hear Tokyo rambling as we approach them.

"Hey y'all!" Natalie says rushing hug them.

"Oh great! The reasons to why I was born has arrived!" Tokyo says rushing over to hug us. Tokyo is our boy bestie. He's funny, savage and absolutely loveable (Until he's in his difficult mood) He's usually the one who helps me pick outfits he's sees his self as our personal fashion designer or whatever.

"Hey, guys oh God it's been forever! Like the whole of summer!" Ali says particularly jumping onto us.

"Oh goodness move you fat pig." I groan. "You're so heavy."

"Of course she is fat she spends most of her time at taco bell, yes girl I saw you the other day." Tokyo states matter of factly.

"I do not and I am a literal breathing skinny queen." That's Alice. We call her Ali for short, she's funny goofy and too stupid to explain. For instant in geography, she said that North Korea was in Europe. I will never forget that day.

"Ok!" Mary Sol says barging into the middle like she's important. Petty much. "Why are you guys so late we've been here forever?" Then, of course, Mary Sol. She's Asian and is the serious, smartest out of us all, neat freak and extremely sarcastic. She always gets straight A's she is also the head of the chess club and always punctual and one time. She actually enjoys school, oh and she is cold-blooded.

"Nice to see you too." I hug her. "Also not everyone arrives at school every day at 7 AM ok."

She rolls her eyes, "Very funny, I actually arrive at 6:55 AM, anyways Natalie did you kill anyone on your way over here?"

"Ha, haha! So funny I'm choking." Natalie says as we all laugh.

"But seriously why aren't you all excited what's with the long faces? It is a new school year which means new possibilities and endless adventures await. Oh, this is so exciting it's hard to explain!" Mary Sol squeals.

We all stop to look at her in disgust.

"More like no words to describe how I'm feeling about you," Tokyo says.

The school bell rings. The call from hell.

"Oh my Gawd!" Ali yells. Everyone in the corridor looks at her. I swear we cannot take this girl anywhere.

"Oh sorry I get confused with the morning bell and the fire alarm."

"I-"I opened my mouth and shut it again. I have never experienced such stupidy before.

"Let's just go see you guys at break!" Mary Sol says before skipping down the hall. Weirdo.

I love my friends though because without them I would have been a social reject a long time ago. We've all been friends since freshmen year but before I met them it used to be Natalie, me and the other girl who decided that popularity is more important than friendship. We used to be the three musketeers but since we started high school she ditched us and that's when we found the amazing but weird three.

"Ok see y'all at lunch," I say

"Oh sweet baby Jesus, god damn Marcus can we talk about that shape up!" Tokyo calls running after him. "Damn boy that bod though." I hear him say.

I laugh to myself as I walk to my lesson.

***

After a useless and long day from school, once I arrive home I trail up the stairs, which honestly felt like I was climbing Mount Everest. Why are the first days always have to be so long!

I throw my bag somewhere in my room. Home sweet home! I thought to myself as I looked lovingly at the best thing that has ever happened to humans, my bed. I take off my trainers and crawl into my habitat. I'll take a quick nap then eat after and...maybe do my homework or study. Who am I kidding? Netflix all the way. I slowly close my eyes. As I start to deepen in the slumber a loud noise wakes me up abruptly.

BEEP! BEEP! BEEP!

"What now!" I groan.

"Oh the new neighbors moving in," Kiara says rushing over to the window.

There is a house that has been empty for years now. It is the biggest house on the whole street and an old cute couple used to live there but the wife died and the man moved into a retirement home so no one has moved in, until now.

"Wow, amazing!" I say sarcastically.

"Oh, I hope it's a cute guy!"

"Kiara it can be anyone why would you think it will be a young hot guy around our age who is drop dead gorgeous?" I roll my eyes.

"Because of him!" She says pointing out of the window. I walk over to take a look.

Oh, sweet baby Jesus!

A tall boy who looked around our age was standing outside the moving truck talking with dad and taking the boxes out of the van. He was defiantly drop dead gorgeous. From afar you can see he was wearing a tight white t-shirt hugging his muscular upper body and sweatpants that I don't even know why looks good on him and also to his really good waves. What a feast for the eyes!

"He's probably working and helping them move in." I crawl back into bed and fall fast asleep.
