" Wake up," yelled Samuel. Alex groaned, " Go away," she yelled. Samuel smiled devilishly and said "Alright Alexandra, you are going to be late for school though!" Alex gritted her teeth she hated being called Alexandra,it was too formal for her, Alex was a tomboy who stood her ground, not a victorian housewife. Samuel knew it was the only way to get to her, being 10 he thought he knew it all, still he was pretty good for a foster brother. Most foster brothers were perverts or sold drugs on the side. Despite Samuel's angelic spiky blond hair, green eyes, pink lips and dimples, he was a devil, a devious and very conniving, quite like Alex. " Crap," muttered Alex she was going to be late for high school, she would never hear the end of it from Mr. Goodling, her homeroom and Algebra 2 honors teacher. She got out of bed, threw on a pair boot cut, dark jeans, a black cami with a red vest, black knee high leather boots, and put her emerald necklace in place. That necklace was her mother's, Alex's mom died when she was 2, since then it was abusive foster home after foster home until Amber, her adoptive mother in the process came across her. Amber was wonderful, she was always willing to listen and open to new ideas. Alex looked in the mirror as she brushed her teeth. Alex had milk chocolate brown wavy hair that hit mid back on her, she also had sparkling emerald eyes, light brown skin emphasizing her hispanic and black background, wide pink lips and high cheekbones. Alex was moderate height, alright below normal she was only 5'2 and 110 pounds. Alex was curvy but slim often catching the wrong type of guy's eyes.

Alex ran downstairs and grabbed a piece of toast, then Amber approached her and shook her head. "No today you are sitting down and eating eggs, no more on the go breakfast," Amber said in her high voice. Amber was beautiful long black hair and amber eyes, with a creamy complexion, Amber was 5"11, often making Alex like a smurf. Alex sighed and sat down gobbling down the eggs in an impressive 5 minutes. Alex said her goodbyes and ran to the door grabbing her keys, running up to catch up to her best friend, Drake. Alex always caught up, she was extremely fast, she slowed her pace and walked next to Drake as if she was walking by his side the whole time. Drake was tall 6'3, and had the coolest eyes, they were green, but not emerald like Alex's they were a sea foam green, he had an olive toned skin color, and black wavy hair. He was handsome, all the girls at their school swooned over him, but Alex had no interest, they had been best friends since forever, why ruin that? Drake said " What up speedy Gonzales?" Alex smiled " Why the sky is up of course," she said flashing her crooked grin. As Drake rolled his eyes she said "Hey its a fact dumbass," Alex knew he was cracking up on the inside, after all he lived for corny jokes. Drake looked at her wrist, " Hey is the mark getting brighter or is it me?" Alex looked down, for as long as he could remember she had the ying-yang symbol on the inside of her wrist, it was not a tattoo, but played it off as one. " Yeah," she murmured as a response to his question. Drake said "Mumbles it was a sincere question, and remember head up and phony smile, Principal Tate won't accept anything else," Alex chuckled it was true, everybody including staff was pretty sure the principal psychopathic.

Good morning high school, Alex thought. This is where wild animals learn to become lethal, well Alex was one to talk she was pretty devious and lethal when pissed herself. All of a sudden as she bumped into Drake's arm her emerald necklace glew and she had a vision, of her mom fending off 5 people dressed in black, then her mom released a beam of light and disintegrated them all. Gasping, Alex turned to Drake, she never had a vision like this, Alex sometimes had visions of the future, but that was it. What the hell just happened she thought as she walked into the jungle called 'High School'.
