Chapter One
One Year Earlier-
"No." My inner monologue whines, as I slap at my alarm clock trying to get the thing to shut up. I tumble out of my bed and make my way out of my room.

After a quick stop at the bathroom, I drag my feet to the end of the hall and bang on my sister's door.

I hear a crash on the other side. I swing the door open and scan the room only to find Jenny lying on the floor tangled in her blanket.
"Ow..." She says, sitting up, and rubbing the back of her head.

"Are you okay?" I ask between laughs.
"Why can't you knock like a normal person?" She untangle her pale legs from the blanket and stands up.
"Where is the fun in that?"

"I can't wait for school to end." Jenny grumbles as we walk towards the school.
"Just hold on for 4 more days, Jen. You won't die I promise." I reply.
We push through the heavy metal doors and I spot our small group of friends standing in front of Justin's locker.

"Jenny! Finally, you're here!" Isabelle, Jenny's best friend, practically shouts.
"What's going on?" She raises a dark eyebrow and walks over to stand next to her.
"Justin is saying that an iced coffee is better than a frappuccino!" She dramatically places a hand against her forehead.
"How dare you Justin! You know how Belle is about her frappuccino!" Jenny fakes an appalled look placing a hand against her chest.
"Not just any iced coffee though, a peppermint iced coffee." He smirks, taking a sip of the one he is holding in his hands.
"Let's go Jenny; we don't need to hear these awful lies." Jenny and her walk off laughing all the way down the halls.
"I like both, but peppermint makes everything better." I gave an approving nod to Justin.
"Speaking of which," He turns and opens his locker. He pulls out a cold cup of iced coffee and hands it to me "I had a coupon."
"You are a live saver; mom used the last of the coffee at home." I eagerly take the cup from him.
"I've been told that once or twice." He gives me a quick wink, and with that the bell rings and we head to our first class.

I'm leaning against the hood of my Impala waiting for Jen, listening to the chatter of the high school parking lot.
I jump at the sound of a car horn behind me. When I turn around I see a vehicle stopped behind mine, waiting for a blue car to finish pulling out.

When I see the driver, my blood boils. Kayla turns and looks at me, she frowns and even from several feet away I can tell uncomfortable she is. She tears her eyes away from me, just as soon as the blue car is out of the way she speeds off with a squeal of her tires.

I watch as she leaves the parking lot, I see Jenny jogging toward the car. I stand, slinging my bag over my shoulder.
"You ready?" I ask, digging my keys out of my pocket.
"Actually, I'm going out with Nick. I've already called mom and she said it was okay." Nick is Jenny's boyfriend going on 3 months now.

"Okay, call me if you need me." She nods and gives me a quick hug. Nick pulls up behind us and she climbs into the passenger seat. Nick offers a small wave, which I return. When I climb into my car, I crank my music and leave the school.

A/N
So it's not March 1st... it's March 9th... I can explain.
I got busy. Like really busy.
As you may or may not know, I run a book club called ReadersCornerClub with a friend and no that wasn't the reason I was busy. I just wanted to mention it.
I was busy though, this month is just full of things such as doctors appointments and I start Drivers Ed on Monday. It's just a busy month.
I will try to post at least once a week. I can't promise anything.
But there you go! The new and improved Stolen Sister!
Have a good day and remember to smile.
