Chapter One

Emilia's POV:

'Isn't it funny? I like to dance when I'm on my own, And whenever it's sunny (yeah), You know I don't wanna stay at home' The sound of my phone blasts my room. Great who could be calling me at this time of morning? Without looking at the caller ID I answer,

"Hello?" I ask,

"Emilia, did I wake you?" Analise's voice comes through the phone, she is one of my moms business partners and our client.

"No, no how can I help you Ana?" She likes me to call her that, why I don't know.

"I was just wondering what time my appointment was?" She asks politely,

"Sure, are you able to wait a few minutes so I can find the book?"

"Yea, that's fine. Thank you darling"

I quickly run downstairs, to the studio, you see my mother is a photographer and while she goes overseas for her job, I take over our home business. Once I get to the studio, I start searching for the appointment book, and lucky for me it was on top. I open it and flick to tomorrows date Saturday seventh of June. I look down the names and found Ana's name.

"Ana,"

"Yes, I’m still here," She reply's,

"Your appointment is at ten-thirty tomorrow morning." I tell her politely,

"Ok, thank-you darling. See you tomorrow."

"Bye."

Today is Friday and for me that is a good thing, I’d prefer the business over school and I only run it on weekends. And that reminds me I have school, kill me. I look at the clock to see it read six forty five a.m. and school starts at eight thirty a.m., so better start getting ready. I went to my closet and just pick out a random outfit. Grey sweatpants and a white tank top with my worn out converse. Honestly I didn't even care what I wear to school, school is for what would you say, in my school West High you tend to get judged on your social status and looks. And I don't dress to impress anyone, I just go to school and come home. I don't have any friends, especially with the experiences I’ve had and trust me no one deserves such... uh, lets just say they use you until they find better. And that explains me, the loner sixteen year old, like I care, judge me and I won't even care. I'm that kind of person. I don't have to deal with anyone's problems.

Once I finish getting ready, I grab my things and lock the house. I jump into my baby, she is a gtr r35. Starting her engine and leave for school. Driving into to the school car park, people look at my car and stare, but when they see me they don't look back, see since I’m low in social status, I’m like the trash of the school. Honestly I don't care, people are just jealous for what they don't have and I’m fine to be on my own.

I enter the school with one thing on my mind, once schools over I have the weekend. Except I have little Miss Popular making out on my locker. GROSS.

"Excuse me," I say politely,

"Can't you see that I’m busy." The bitchy brunette says with an evil smirk on her face, and continues swapping saliva with one of the jocks.

"Well, Layla can't you see I’m going to be late because of your little make out sesh on my locker, so I suggest you take that somewhere else." I tell her clearly annoyed.

"Emilia, as you can see I don't give a shit about your late-ness. Bye." She states with her bitchy attitude, so bloody rude.

I grasp her shirt and push her out of the way, and smirk,

"You don't want to mess with me after all the shit you and all you slut friends put me through. Bye." I tell her in the same tone.

She flicks her hair and pulls her little boy-toy along. Bitch, karma will get her. She doesn't know me like she thinks she does. I used to be the weak little girl but she has no idea how much stronger I am. I just ignore everyone in this school, I only tell the people who mess with me off, it used to get to me but it doesn't anymore, I’m not the girl that cry’s anymore.

I quickly grab my things from my locker and rush to homeroom. Of course Mr Simons is early like always,

"Emilia Josephine, your late." He tells me

"The bell hasn't gone yet, sir." I tell him honestly.

Rinnnnnnnnggggg.

"Lucky, take your seat." He says in a flat tone, as he hears the bell ring for homeroom.

But five minutes later, the door swings open and no one other than Mr Bad Boy himself storms in. Great.

First two periods goes by pretty slow, but they were my most hated subjects math and history. Now its break, thank goodness, I’m starving. I walk into the cafeteria, and pay for my food, a hamburger with extra mustard and fries on the side. YUM.

"I believe that kind of food makes you fat." I’d recognise that voice anywhere, No other than little Miss Popular.

I turn around to see her and her minions behind her. Sara and Faye.

"I didn't ask for your opinion!" I tell her simply, nudging her arm in the process I walk around her and continue to walk the car park to my usual break spot by my car.

The only happiness I have in this school is my car. I turn on the radio to hear 'Summer' by Calvin Harris come on, so I turn it up. I stay in the car until break is over, and like usual Mr Bad Boy leaves the school grounds, just on cue.

The day ends faster then I thought and I’m really thankful for that. I have to go home and set up the studio. And since it's the weekend I’m excited. I decide that since today is Friday, what’s a better way to start a weekend... watch movies. I drive down to the movie store and pick up a few of my favourites including Step Up, Fast n Furious and Beastly. I also manage to grab some popcorn to go with.

I was in the middle of watching Fast n Furious, when my phone blasts the room. I look at the caller ID to see it was my brother Ashton,

"Hey, what’s up?" I ask him. He is too protective of me, he always rings to check up on me.

"Hey sis, no how are you? or how’s college Ash?" He questions sarcastically. Hmm yea I think I'll skip asking him that, and getting straight to the point of why he is really here.

"I'm fine Ash, you should know I’m fine on my own,” I tell him,

"You’re alone on a Friday night, wanna do something?" He asks me, he always asks but I’m never really interested,

"Nah, not tonight bro. Thanks anyways."

"Come on sis, you always say no to hanging out. How about we watch a movie?"

"I'm watching a movie now, so no not really. Honestly Ash I’m fine, Mom will be back soon and then I will be heading out to England with her."

"Em you are always home, alone. Are you sure you don't want company?" He try’s again,

"Ash, it's fine go party or do whatever you guys do at college, ok." I roll my eyes, Ashton is always a caring brother.

"Fine sis, I’ll go party. Are you sure you..."

I cut him off, "Yes, I’m fine. Thanks though, now go have fun. I'll see you when I see you." I tell him and hang up the phone.

Then I go back to watching Fast n Furious. I throw popcorn in my mouth and soon later the movie ends. I put Beastly in the DVD player and take my seat back on the couch. After a while I feel my eyes start feeling heavy and I fight it off but eventually I let sleep take over.

I wake up to find myself lying on the couch. What happened? Oh that’s right I fell asleep. I look around to see it was sunny outside and that’s when I panic. What time is it? I search around on the couch for my phone and once I finally find it, I see it says nine a.m. Crap. I rush up and quickly clean the place up a bit, run upstairs and change. By time I was done it was ten a.m. Good so I have time for breakfast and that’s when the doorbell rings. Ana's early. I look through the peek hole on my door to see it wasn't Ana but it was Ash, holding a Starbucks coffee and donuts, oh gosh I love him.

"Ash!!" I scream as I open the door and hug him tightly, I know I didn't want him to come over last night but I always love to see him every now and then. I snatch the food off him and walk back in the house,

"Hey!!" He says annoyed "How did you know that was for you?" He asks with a raised brow,

I smirk, "I just knew" and I stick my tongue out at him. He just chuckles.

"Well its great to be back."

"You're welcome here anytime and plus its still your home." I tell him with a smile, he visits whenever he can since he's at his third year in college.

"So are you just here to check on me?" I ask him, knowing his answer already,

"..No." I raise a brow "Yes, you are my sister. You’re on your own, all the time. You know I worry about you." Ash tells me with a calm caring tone.

"Look Ash, you are just over protective of me and I know I’m your only sister and mom's always out on business trips but it’s for our sake. I love you and everything but you really need to stop worrying, I’m sixteen, not five and I’m fine. Honestly, I’m happier on my own and I’ve explained why before, you know that. What makes me happy is you, mom and the business." Ash really needs to worry about himself and college,

"Emilia, that’s because I am worried. Mom only comes home for the holidays and special occasions. I'm always at college and only come down every fortnight, I need to start coming down more. Anyways my point is yes your sixteen and you need to spend more time outside of this house, with other people. You can't be like this forever." He frowns,

"Ash, I’m always alone cause I prefer it that way. I'm really happy you're here though, and actually I’m not alone I have you and mom." I clarify, "I have a job to do now, but we can catch up later okay." I smile,

"Ok fine, I’ll see you later." He said. Ash kisses my cheek and leaves.

Analise rings the doorbell, right on time.

"Ana," I greet,

"Emilia, darling how are you?" Ana smiles politely,

"I'm good, thanks and you?" I say with a smile,

"Same as always." She answers, "I have another a job for your mom," I nod for her to continue "Its in Italy."

"Italy?" I question,

"Yes Italy, I would like this done by the next two months." She informs me, I nod,

"I'll inform my mom." I tell her,

"No worries, today for my shoot I’d just like the usual with these new outfits." She shows me her outfits and I nod,

"No problem, you know where the change rooms are." I smile.

After the shoot was over, she left and I change into my lazy day outfit. Baggy pants and a flowy top. First on my list- message mom and tell her about her new job.

Hey mom!! Ana came by today and informed me on another job for you in Italy, you have two months to complete it. Can't wait to see you when you come home. Love Emilia, xox

I decide that today should be the day I go to my special place, the beach. I get to the beach, walk along the sand, the salty water washing up on my feet while I walk. As I walk along the beautiful beach on this sunny day, I take photos of the landscape to go in my photography portfolio. I always take photos of the beach and I always go there it’s my favourite place and it calms me down.

As usual for a Saturday night I go up to my room and read my book. A romance novel, I don't seem like the girl that reads that type of stuff but I honestly love it. Its basically what I do in my free time, I’m always in my room reading books apart from watching movies. I end up feeling drowsy and fall asleep.

Bang... Bang.... Shatter.

I get woken up by a loud noise and since it was loud it came from my bedroom window. Shit. My heart starts racing faster. Ok calm down, maybe its nothing.

Thump.

Ok, maybe its not. Someone is in my room and I don't know who. Stay calm. I couldn't see anything since it was dark, for all I know the person who broke into my room thinks I’m asleep. Once my eyes adjusts to the dark, the moonlight shines on the person by my window and I freeze once I saw who it is. What the hell is he doing here?

Dylan Collins.

Dylan looks in my direction and our eyes connect. He runs over and put a hand over my mouth,

"Shh, don't scream. I'm not going to hurt you." I nod slowly, still not knowing what the hell he is doing here in my house. In my room.

Dylan realises I wasn't going to scream so he removes his hand slowly, but he really should regret that.

"What the hell are you doing in my house? In my room?" I yell, I get up out of bed, I didn't realise we were so close till he looks down at me since he was taller than me and leans down and kisses me. Kisses me. I just stood there frozen, Dylan pulls back, just staring me in the eyes.

He looks out the window and he looks back at me and smirks, "I gotta go." and he jumps out of the window, two stories high. He can get killed. I run to my window and he was gone. Nice the bad boy broke my window, and stole my first kiss. He is so going to pay.
