"Dad's left?" I ask Jenna who's busying herself with a can of soda and the Television in the living room. She looks up from the TV and looks up at me with a sweet smile on her face.

"Yeah." she says and stands up to give me a hug. She sits back down and folds her leg up on our most expensive couch. The one only my dad is permitted to sit on. Seeing her all comfy on it gave it away that the old man's left. 

I take the soda from her and have a little sip of it before handing it back to her. I glance at the TV and groan. I hate reality TV. Why sit back and watch other people live their lives on camera. 

Without wasting any time, I stride up the stairs and head straight to my room.

I gently turn the doorknob and walk into my already unlocked room. I toss my bag to my bed and jump on to my bed. Spreading my arms on the bed, I start to wave them like I'm making snow angels. "Home sweet home."

My bedroom is my home. It's the only place that belongs to me and it's the only place I can get comfy. I stand to my feet and start to get out of my clothes. 

I walk to the closet and grab a pair of new clothes. A black T-shirt and grey short pants. I tie a towel around my waist and toss my old clothes into the laundry basket. 

Just as I'm about to walk into the bathroom,My phone starts to beep from inside my school bag. I groan and turn on my heels to grab my phone. A small smile creeps on my face at the caller id, it's Lewis. 

"Well, well, well, if it isn't the dude who wouldn't give you a phone call unless you called him first." Lewis says with a chuckle. 

I sit on the edge of the bed and absentmindedly start to play with a loose thread on the hem of my towel. "Well hello to you too." I tell him and he sighs dramatically. 

"Dude you still haven't changed from being all nerdy, huh?" he says and I roll my eyes at him. 

"What? You didn't say hello first. What did you expect me to say?" I raise one brow and clear my throat and make my voice go deeper, "Yo my man, what's chilling?"

He bursts into deep laughter and I can't help but laugh along. After a while of laughing, I ask him, "So why'd you call? Did you already get a girl pregnant?"

He let's out a disbelieving gasp and says in a pretend hurt voice, "How could you say that Troy. Of course I haven't gotten a girl pregnant." he says and pauses before adding, "Yet."

I roll my eyes and shake my head. He chuckles a bit before continuing to talk, "Rachel told me about your house being burgled." 

I scoff,"That blabber-head. Can't she shut up for once?" 

He laughs into my ear, "We both know she  can't. Anyways, is everything okay over there?"

"Yeah everything's fine." I tell him with a sigh. "Okay, can I go now? I was actually about to hit the showers before you called."

"Jeez, I don't know why I keep calling you. You're so rude. Fuck off bro." he groans. 

"But..." I start to say but trail off at the sound of the dial tone. I shake my head and chuckle a little before putting my phone back on my bed. I look at the little dent on it and shake my head. Better get that fixed. 

All of a sudden, I remember the weird girl's diary. I pull it out of my bag and study it carefully. I have to get it back to her as soon as possible. A diary is private property after all and I can't keep it with me. 

I look behind it and a smile glows on my face and when at the back of the too girly diary, a phone number is scribbled on it. Quickly, I bring my phone up and start to dial. 

It beeps three times before it's finally answered. 

"Lucy Miller's phone." The voice over the phone calls and I gasp unknowingly,that voice! I'd remember it any day.....

Janice's POV

Lucy and I don't even bother to go into the club before I dial Eric to let him know we are here. I don't have the stupid time to get lost trying to find what table it is they are seated. Even though we once suggested a permanent table, it's never possible as it always gets occupied before we get there. It is a club after all, what can we expect? 

"Hey Bitch,where are you?" Eric calls into my ear and I turn to look at Lucy who's already nervous as hell as to what Eric would do to us for being caught. I roll my eyes at her before answering Eric.

"We are outside the club. Send Fred to come get us. We don't have the time to get lost like yesterday." I tell him and he doesn't say anything at first. 

"Hey go get the girls, they're outside the club." he directs to somebody in the background,most likely Fred. "Okay just wait where you are. He's coming." he says and instantly hangs up. 

"I'm so scared Janice." Lucy says in a low, shaky voice and she puts her hands behind her. I grab a hold of her hands and say in a voice I can manage as sweet. 

"Snap out of it woman. We've been through this. I already told you, Eric won't do a shot to you. Worst thing he'd do? He's going to flip shit and shout but that's just it. Don't you trust me?" I ask her but she doesn't say anything. 

I sigh and let go of her hands and fold my hands across my chest. "Alright ask Fred when he comes."

"Hey girls." Bill calls to us and we both turn to look at him.

    Troy's POVI fight the urge to flip the switch on and reveal the face of the unarmed burglar rummaging through our refrigerator. It's funny how fearless people have seem to become as they just break into people's houses without wondering what the future holds for them if they are caught.I clench my fists and hold the frying pan in my hand even tighter,holding my breath in and praying silently that the 'unarmed' burglar really is unarmed.The burglar seems to be unaware of my presence as he keeps on filling his bag with items from our refrigerator. I mean, who goes to people's houses just to steal food. Especially given the fact that this house has an high tech security system.I wonder how he managed to get past the gate with the amount of security men lingering around there. Or how he managed to come inside the house without knowing the password. Or how he managed to get into the living room withou

    The evidently impatient honks are the first thing I hear the second I walk out of the mansion. I sigh in annoyance. Even given the fact that I'm eighteen, my parents refuse sternly to let me take driving lessons or to let me own a car. They believe that teenagers are nothing but reckless and take advantage of every situation so until I'm off to college, there will be no cars for me."Troy wait up! Let's take a first day of school picture." Jenna calls loudly behind me. She should be in the Guinness world record for taking the most snaps in the world. I on the other hand, am a complete antisocial person. I do not believe in taking pictures or anything, it's a perfect waste of time."I'll pass." I call back and head towards the black jeep whose honks have gone extinct since we stepped out and became visible to the driver.I open the car door and set myself at the backseat. Jenna of course, takes her time before getting in. She d

    Everybody's attention suddenly drifts to the class intruder and surprisingly, she doesn't feel intimidated by all the stares she's getting. I watch as Mr Harper eyes her up and down before finally opening his mouth to speak."And you are?" he directs at her, not even in the least trying to be nice especially since he's new. Most other new teachers only ever try their best to be on the student's good side."Janice Willow." She answers. Her voice comes out really deep,too deep for the way her face looks. "I'm sorry, I didn't get my schedule set on time. It won't happen again, I promise."Mr Harper doesn't reply but he gives her one last head to toe scan before returning his focus back to the marker board. He writes the words, 'Social studies' with Economics in a bracket beside it, big and bold,right in the center of the board."So majority of you should be familiar with the basics of Economics I presume." he starts to say. He's right. Majori

    Janice's POVI push my way through the crowded room filled with nothing but drunken Homo sapiens,with Lucy Miller trailing behind me. I frown as one drunken girl staggers and falls right in front of me.Without having to look, I can picture the startled look plastered on Lucy's face. Just to confirm, I turn around to catch a glimpse of her face behind me. True to my assumption, her eyes are widened and her mouth is opened but she doesn't say anything."Just ignore and walk around her." I sigh and walk a bit to the left to avoid having to step on the passed out girl fallen in front of me. Lucy does the same and shakes her head as we keep moving."I'm not sure I like it here." She opens her mouth to say. Just then, the guy handling the music seems to think it right to increase the volume of the song playing ultrasound loud from the speakers. I chuckle a bit before replying her,"Don't worry, in time you'll get used to it. Maybe even one day,

    Troy's POV"So how was your first day in highschool?" I ask my little sister sprawled out on my bed,one of her legs crossed over the other one, lying on her back."Well," she sighs, "It was okay I guess. It was pretty much kinda stressful but I guess in time, I'll get used to it." She says,not looking over to me sitting on the little couch in my room from across of her."That's how it gets. It's just a matter of time." I tell her. She grabs her phone lying next to her and starts to tap on the screen."Dad's off to Asia tomorrow." She suddenly says after a few minutes of silence passes."Asia?" I raise an eyebrow and she puts her phone down before sighing and looking at me. She nods her head a bit before replying."Yeah. I think it's something to do with business."I sigh and stand up to walk across the room to grab a glass of water from off the table, "I miss the times

    "How long has it been now?" I shift in my chair to look at the teacher. He sighs at me, drops the stupid book back on the shelf where it belongs, and starts to walk over to his seat.He sits down and without checking the time, he answers me, "Six minutes."I groan and shift uncomfortably in my chair. I bring my phone out of my backpack and switch it on. I look at him expecting a disapproving remark."No phones allowed in detention, Miss Willow." he tells me. I roll my eyes at him but I don't put my phone back."Chill. I'm trying to text my mom and tell her I'll be freaking home late." I pause and he looks at me warily.

She sighs and shakes her head."It's nothing. I'm just worried about Eric and what he'll say when you tell him we almost got caught yesterday." She tells me in a low, uncertain voice. I almost chuckle at the worry laced in her voice. I lift my left hand up and poke her right cheek."I can't believe you're afraid of Eric, guy can't do shit to us okay? He just seems scary because he's the oldest but trust me he's still a chill dude." I tell her and she offers me a pale,obviously fake smile and I can easily tell that her worry has not dissolved."This is not the first time I've been caught in a house."
