"
It was the beginning of autumn in a small town called Fall Coast and back in the 1800's it was named that because of the amount of leafs it had and how strong autumn is in that town, the attraction it got, and it is near the coast up north in the Atlantic coastline. There was a big, three story, beautiful, cherry wood colored house, which the lawn was perfectly cut, happened recently, three cars parked in the smooth, cemented driveway to the right of the house, a blue ford pickup truck, a silver station wagon, and a dark cherry red half sports car and half sensible sedan, in a very beautiful neighborhood. It was as gorgeous on the inside as it was on the out side. It was like a mansion inside, the walls are colored with white paint and the ceiling as well, the floor board is a light Brazilian Teak Cumaru flooring pattern in the main hall, with rich furniture all around the house and beautiful. It is considered one of the most amazing houses in town.

It was six in the morning, with the sun at the horizon line and the leafs starting fall on the ground on every block in town and switching colors too. The suns rays shined through the windows, a particular window in the house in the second story of the house which belonged to a room owned by a sixteen year old boy named Alvin. An alarm went off in the room and the blanket started moving slowly and his right arm reached out under the blankets and pushed the Dismiss button, with the same arm, the hand reached up with another arm popped out and reached with it. Alvin slowly got up with the blanket still on his head. Realizing its on his head, he lift his left hand onto his head, grabbed the blanket and pulled it off. Revealing a clear skinned, Caucasian guy with light brown short hair, and a diamond face shaped.

His eyes were still closed and his head was hung a bit. He lifted his head and opened his eyes revealing bright baby blue eyes that just shine in the light. It got girls knees shaking and their palms sweating when Alvin looks right into their eyes. Guy envied him and would kill for the attention he got from girls in school. From all of his, his popularity from school turned into the popularity of the town, people either know his personally or have heard of him from others. Some people even craved his attention to get known from a popular guy.

He lifted his blankets, shifted his body to the left, placed his feet into the dark brown slippers, got up and stretched. He was wearing a plain white short sleeved shirt, and dark gray boxer shorts. He is 6'2, the tallest in his family. He is the middle child of 18 year old brother Steve, and 13 year old brother Mitch, his mother is 40 years old and his father is 42 years old, both which work for the same company for television which is very successful and excellent pay.

Alvin looked around in his room, it was very neat and organized, besides his messy bed, his floor was a light hard wood floor, under his bed was a white, fluffy rug, in which he was standing on, his walls were a light gray color, had some posters on those walls from bands and a basketball team, his bed was all white with dark gray four pillows, two on each side, his bed was plush, having a night stand made of Fir wood with an alarm clock on it and a red notebook with a pencil on it. Across from his bed is a desk with a dark blue laptop, a lamp, and a office chair, the desk was made of the same material as the night stand, and to the left side of the room was a wardrobe, same material as the desk and night stand. The door was to the left of the desk was his was his backpack which was a Leather briefcase like backpack that could hang from the other side, and Alvin went to the door and opened it. Leaving his room, and closing the door behind him, he moved towards a door across from him. He opened the door and everything was white, he entered the bathroom. He went towards the shower in front of him, opened the curtains, and turned on the water.

After he finished his shower he went into his room and changed into his uniform. It was a white buttoned long sleeve shirt, red tie, black sweater, dress pants, and black dress shoes and he made his bed. He grabbed his backpack, but he realized his notebooks was on the night stand. He went to get it and picked it up then put it in his bag. He left his room, closed and locked his door behind him. Alvin went downstairs, had breakfast and said goodbye to his parents.

He arrived at school at seven fifteen, he likes being at school early to help any teachers and students, he loves helping people and he doesn't even ask for a thank you, he just enjoys helping out. When he went inside he went straight to his locker, on the way there, there were few students there just hanging out and when Alvin walked by them they all said hi to him and waved, Alvin returned the favor and doing it back to them with a smile on his face. When he got there he looked around to see if anyone was in the hall, when there wasn't anyone there he opened his locker immediately, digged violently into his bag, grabbed the notebook and shoved it in there, closed the locker and in a flash shut the lock. After doing this he felt a tap on his shoulder. He jumped up and turned around to see his friend, whom he secretly had a crush on.

"Hey Alvin, see you are jumpy as always. What's in that notebook that's sooo important" Mark teasingly said. Mark is Alvin's best friend since grade school. Alvin thinks that Mark is flat out gorgeous, dark blue hair with a bit of white in the top and black underneath the blue, his gray colored eyes were so bright, his cute dimples, oval face shaped, black nose and bottom lip left side piercings, his uniform was much differently display than his, He has the white shirt and red tie but he had a soft leather jacket and jeans with Van sneakers, he also had a skate board in his left hand, he was also 6'3, the tallest guy in school. Mark went to Alvin's left side and to open his locker, getting the key out of his pants and unlocking it. "So, what's in the notebook?" Marked asked again, Alvin slightly blushed, he really loves how deep his voice is, but not too deep.

"Nothing important, really. Just want to see how fast I can put my stuff away" Alvin said, hes really embarrassed how his voice isn't as attractive as Marks. He saw mark put his skateboard away and then he heard some sort of chains. He looked over to Mark and said "You're going to get in trouble if anyone finds out you have chains on you, you know the policy on that.". They continued the conversation walking away and going up three sets of stairs, they're on the first floor.

"So? Like I care what they think. I'm already in trouble not wearing the full uniform". As they walked down a hall they passed the principal who had an angry look on his face. Alvin felt like it was his fault for some reason, he was always like that, if someone wasn't happy he would blame himself. H ehad to make him at least smile.

"Good morning sir" Alvin said to the principal. He caught him off guard.

"Huh? Oh, good morning Mr. Wilson" the principal smiled and saw Mark and got annoyed. "Mr. Downey"

"Captain!" Mark made a salute towards the principal, it was obvious that they know each other well, considering the fact that Mark is a trouble maker.

The principal sighed, " I don't want to see your face today in my office Downey. I have enough trouble not only with you but with others.".

"I make no promises captain" Mark smiled at the mans face, he was annoyed with the fact being called captain by him, let alone his riskiness against authority.

"...Fine" and with that the man left them. Alvin turned when he heard snickering from Mark, Alvin smacked Marks right arm with the back of his right hand. Mark made a sarcastic shocking face and that made Alvin laugh a little, shook his head, and walked away. Mark walked with Alvin and they were in class. The rest of the day was like every other day. Alvin getting all the answers right, helping others, did all his work while Mark wasn't doing any work and goofed off and was sent to the principals office as usual. Pretty normal day for the both of them.

The last bell rung and everyone left the school and Alvin rushed to his locker, grabbed his notebook, and went outside were Mark waited. Alvin was walking home with Mark by his side riding his skateboard slowly. It was very winding that day, 'I should have brought another sweater' Alvin thought. Mark then stopped, kicked the end of the board and held it, now he was walking by Alvin's side. Alvin looked quickly at Mark, looking into his eyes for a brief moment. ' Damn it Alvin, pull yourself together!' Alvin mentally yelled at himself. 'I can't he's soo cute' having a mental conversation with himself. ' If you want him so bad, ask him out' ' I can't its just too embarrassing'. Alvin sighed, Mark heard his sigh.

"What's up, something on your mind?" Mark was concerned of his friend. Alvin jumped a bit

"Ahh" Alvin was thinking of a good lie to tell him, he hated lying to him. "I can't tell you" Alvin blushed

"....oh I know what this is" Mark figured it all out.

Alvin faced him, shaking, "What do you mean?" and with out warning, Mark kissed Alvin, Alvin blushed so hard his face was all red. Mark licked the bottom of Alvin's lip asking to enter his mouth and Alvin allowed him. Mark snaked his arms around his waist and Alvin wrapped his arms around his neck. They were having a tongue battle that Alvin was just in heaven with. Too bad he was hearing snapping.

"ALVIN!" Alvin jumped and looked at Mark realizing it was all in his mind. "What are you thinking of that made you stop and blush? Is it girl?" Mark raised his eyebrows up and down.

"Its nothing" and with that Alvin's walking has sped up and Mark was confused behind him. Thinking for a moment of what to say.

"See you tonight?" Mark asked, reminding Alvin that they had a Biology project due in a month, which Alvin likes to do ahead of time.

'S**t' Alvin forgot about that, which is strange he never forgets anything. Alvin turned around and said "Sorry I can't, having a family reunion tonight, it was last minute" Alvin wasn't really lying, of course he could have Mark over, but he is using that as an excuse so he wouldn't be so clumsy around his crush.

"Oh, OK well see you tomorrow at school" Mark said as he skated off to another street. Before Alvin can say bye Mark was too far and left Alvin alone. He went home and straight to his room and locked it behind himself. Sinking down against the door, sitting on the floor he put his knees together and placed his elbows on his knees and put his head in his hands.

'I'm such a f*****g idiot' and he quietly sobbed in his hands. He continued his softly crying for 20 minutes and then realized the time and how long he's been there. Lifted his head showing his blue eyes had gone a mixture of clear and blue with red around his eyes with tear streak down his eyes and passed his cheeks falling off his face. He got up, placed his bag on the bed and looked at the time, three twenty. He wiped the tears off his face. He got undressed and looked into the mirror on the wall placed next to his night stand, he forgot he had it.

He looked at himself shirtless and not wearing any pants. He is a very skinny boy, ashamed of himself he hugged his body and started thinking of Marks body. He had muscle, well built. He told Alvin that he works out everyday, mornings is 2 hours and evenings is 3 hours. 'Maybe if I do what he does, I'll get a body like his and maybe have him', Alvin thought for a second, 'I still can't tell him, why am I so shy?' he asked himself. He thought for another moment and decided he's gonna train. 'First thing in the morning, five am to be exact, I will go jogging..... in the woods, yeah' Alvin smiled at his decision and was proud of himself.

After that, he got ready for the reunion, wearing his plain black shirt that goes to his elbows, with a gray, red, and blue strip short sleeve button shirt that he left unbuttoned, dark jeans that have a washed spot at the knees, with regular black converse. He left his room and went downstairs where some of his family member's were already here saying hi to everyone.

amazing first chapter, however i think you were a bit too wordy and rigid on the descriptions. you don't have to describe every minute detail, the readers have a strong enough imagination to visualize the story in their heads while they read but as I said before; great job
