Chapter 2

My alarm started bleeping at 7 am. I still didn't see why I had to rush. It wasn't like they locked kids out that were late. And this was such a small place that I could bike there in 10 minutes. I groaned and rolled over, slapping widely at my bedside table. The alarm kept beeping on and on until I finally hit it. Flipping back the blankets, I felt my way to my closet, grabbed some clothes and headed to the bathroom. First day at school and for once I was worried. 

After my shower, I quickly brushed my teeth, dried my hair and made my way to the kitchen. Grabbing a bowl and the cereal. I looked in the fridge for the milk. Of course, there wasn't any. "Mom! Where's the milk," I yelled. No-one answered me and I realized that Mom and Dad must already be at work. Grumbling as I made my way to my room, I tripped over a box. Just managing to catch my balance, I glared at the box as if it was its fault for being there. I grabbed (more like swiped) my bag and walked out into the sunshine. What a horrible start to my day. 

I got to school 30 minutes before the bell. What an achievement for me. And you know what I saw? Gigantic iron gates. So they did lock out kids who were late. But you know what else I saw? Lots of cute guys. And not so many girls. This school was freaking AWESOME! All thoughts of Conner immediately went away. I felt someone brush past me and saw them drop their books. 

"Oh my god, I'm so sorry!" I gushed. When they turned around, I saw that it was a guy. He was pale, with perfect features, and short black hair. And his eyes were bright blue. I sighed when I saw them. 

"Hey, it's fine, it was probably my fault" he said. I passed him his books and stood up. 

"So, uh, what's your name?" I asked awkwardly.

"I'm 119 Days" he said, sticking his hand out. "What's yours?" I shook his hand while saying "I'm Violet." He grinned at me.

"Can I walk you to your first class?" I nodded and started walking. This was my first look at 119 Days.
