|| Prologue ||

"Day Winters," yelled a hoarse voice from downstairs. "If you don't get out of bed this second, I swear to god that I will make sure you are embarrassed on your first day of school."


I sat up groggily and rubbed my eyes, my blonde hair all over my face like fizz from a cola bottle. It was seven o'clock. Why would anyone in their right mind wake up at seven o'clock!? I groaned and flopped back onto my comfy bed, which was king sized and was littered with cushions, stuffed animals and bedspreads. It also happened to feel I was sleeping on a cloud (whatever that felt like).


My mom stood by my bedroom door, her hands on her hips. She looked a lot like me, including the same blonde mess and cornflower eyes. Her eyebrows were furrowed and she looked like she'd given up hope that I was ever going to get out of bed. Perhaps she was right, because hello? I like my bed. It's supportive, warm, and comfortable to be around. I'm not giving up on it for anything.


"Day," she sighed, and I almost giggled because of the complete exasperation in her tired voice. "Honey, school starts in an hour. You need to bathe, change and look at least mildly presentable on your first day. If you don't get up this instant, I will kick you out of bed. All those karate classes won't be a waste if I can actually use the techniques." It was funny how mom could say stuff like that with a deadly serious expression. Sometimes I didn't even know whether she was joking or not. Correction: Most times.


I got out of bed, giving mom the look, which probably looked even more menacing than it should have because of my untamed hair that made me look like a caveman with an eyebrow issue. It was funny how mom was more excited about my 'first day of school' than I was. I mean, I know I've never been to school before, but so what? Thanks to my stupid immune deficiency, I had a pretty good governess and my family and I lived quite happily in the middle of nowhere until my parents decided that I needed to face the real world. Gee, how exciting.


In around fifteen minutes, I was ready with everything. I was wearing skinny jeans and a crop top with the American flag because I'm patriotic like that (Haha, no) and took a quick glance at the mirror. I'd kind of straightened my hair out so it didn't look like a half made bird's nest, and my blue eyes were staring hugely behind my glasses. I defied the logic of stereotypes by having the nerd look (braces and glasses) and having blonde hair.


I also defy logic by having a middle name called June and a last name as Winters. It wasn't even supposed to be like that, but my mom's mom passed away before I was born (RIP granny I never knew) and her name was June, so out of grief my mom decided to just plonk that down in my name like: Woo-hoo. Let's ruin my daughter's social life, shall we? I mean, winter during June in North America? I'm so logic defying that it isn't funny. Either that or I'm too cool to fit in.


I am okay looking, I guess. Then again, I've never really interacted with anyone except for random strangers on Onlinathon (which is the BEST SOCIAL NETWORKING SITE EVER) so I wouldn't know for sure whether I'm good looking or not because rarely anyone has their own picture as their profile picture. Either that or they just hide it from me (because they're all nice like that).


My hair is wavy and curls at the tips and is this golden blonde color that complements my baby blue eyes. I have a fair complexion, a pointy nose and tiny ears. My mouth is literally a rosebud and my face is ovular. I have no cheekbones (well, mild cheekbones. Note the use of the word mild) and no dimples. It's almost like god is staring down at me like: HAH! You have legitimately nothing to help out your plain features, sucker!


I'm pretty short for my age (I think). The average high schooler in movies is at least a few inches taller than me. Then again, I've literally based everything I know about school in general on books and movies, so I might be disappointed if I don't find the whole cliché group of kids in this new school of mine.


I took one last look at the mirror, smudged my lip gloss a tad bit more and dashed downstairs to while away the forty five minutes that I had. Who knows what the day would bring me? I'd just have to hope that Fate had a good set of pages in the book of today's Destiny.
