[indent][indent][color=c3daf2]Aiden Howard did not want to go to school today. For a number of reasons.

The first reason was that the blonde believed education to be vastly overrated. He was never one to stick his nose in a book willingly, complete an assignment with more effort than it took to lift his pinky finger, or focus on the subject at hand in any course. He was simply coasting on his good looks and effortless charm; more interested in what he was going to have for lunch and who he was going to socialize with next than lessons and papers. At his essence, Aiden didn’t apply himself nearly as much as he should have. 

The second reason was that he now had to go to [i]Rosefell High[/i] of all places. When he got the email last month that instead of returning to Liberty in the Fall he’d have to attend the decrepit and lackluster campus across town, he laughed and thought it was some kind of premature senior prank. But when all of his friends got the same email and heard about it on the news that night, they discovered it was no hoax. 

And the third? He was exhausted. Aiden had spent all of his Labor Day weekend and the days prior with Richie and Marcos in the Hamptons for their annual golden boys trip. Every day they’d lay out by the pool or go out on the boat until they were gloriously tan and golden, soaking up the sun. In the evenings they partied and drank either at someone’s mansion or on someone’s Yacht until dawn. Rinse, repeat for 5 days straight.

The blonde’s alarm sounded off loudly and annoyingly once more… he could only hit snooze so many times. On the brightside, at least he got to finally reunite with Fiamma after nearly a week of being apart; the promise of seeing his redheaded sweetheart was enough motivation to finally make him roll out of bed and into the shower. When Aiden emerged from his room some odd minutes later dressed and ready for the day, he descended the winding staircase and was greeted with the sight of an empty living room and kitchen aside from his younger sister, [url=https://i.pinimg.com/originals/18/fb/03/18fb0314135c07a2ff06b7cfb66cf043.jpg][color=0ABAB5]Olivia[/color][/url], who sat at the kitchen island eating her breakfast. As he reached the last step, he looked around expectantly and began to speak, searching for any other signs of human life. [color=2D7DD2]“Where’s-”[/color]

[color=0ABAB5]“Don’t even bother asking- they left.”[/color] Liv stated glumly, interrupting her brother’s thought and taking another bite of her toast as she scrolled through her phone. [color=0ABAB5]“Mom had to go and show a client a property and Dad’s flight took off an hour ago.”[/color]

Typical. Absolutely and brutally, typical. 

[color=2D7DD2]“Of course they’re not here, why am I not surprised...”[/color] Aiden replied, stifled anger rumbling in his voice as he made his way over to the fridge to find some sustenance. Long gone were the annual first day of school breakfasts his mom used to slave over and pictures on the front lawn with the Kingsley’s- that tradition died when Leonel and Spencer moved out. Now, it was customary that the blonde’s parents were more often out of the house than not. Shaking off the negativity, Aiden looked down at his phone for the current time.  [color=2D7DD2]“We’re leaving in a few, Richie will kill me if we’re late.”[/color]

[color=0ABAB5]“Are we driving Fi, too?”[/color] Liv innocently asked, tearing her eyes away from Instagram for a brief moment to glance over at her brother. Aiden bit into the green apple he had retrieved from the fruit drawer and shook his head.

[color=2D7DD2]“No, Liv. Summer’s over and things have to go back to the way they were in the Spring.”[/color] He explained sourly, clearly not enthused by the subject. The few months over break had been refreshing for the young couple. Aiden and Fiamma were able to spend hours and days together away from prying eyes which included [i]many[/i] sleepless nights. They had no peers to answer to or hide from and empty houses to enjoy while their parents were away at work. But now, it was back to reality which meant stolen moments behind closed doors and hiding their relationship once more. [color=2D7DD2]“You’re still sworn to secrecy, understand? If you spill, I will personally make your life a living hell- you’ll be walking to school and no dealer or hookup on campus will sell to you if I have anything to say about it. Got it?”[/color] Aiden warned, his tone enough to show how serious he was. 

Liv groaned, already knowing the deal they made, and nodded. [color=0ABAB5]“Calm down, Romeo. I’m not going to say anything...”[/color] She got up from her seat at the counter and took her now empty plate over to the sink to rinse before placing it gingerly in the dishwasher. [color=0ABAB5]“Besides I have better things to worry about than your love life.”[/color]

The blonde boy sighed, slugging his (basically empty) backpack over his right shoulder and made his way to the front door, keys in hand. As he pulled the knob and turned back to face his sister, he actually got a good look at what she had chosen to wear. His older brother panic alarm went off wildly as he motioned to her [url=https://i.pinimg.com/564x/22/e1/b5/22e1b50b7aa4f060fbd5378b13a04b18.jpg][color=0ABAB5]dress[/color][/url]... if he could even call it that. [color=2D7DD2]“What the hell are you wearing?”[/color] 

[color=0ABAB5]“Um…”[/color] Liv looked down at her choice of outfit, and seeing nothing wrong, looked back up at her brother. Sure, it may have been an inch or two shorter than something she'd normally wear, but it was the first day! She had to make a good impression, especially since it was a different crowd of people, and that meant something cute and trendy. [color=0ABAB5]“Clothes?”[/color]

[color=2D7DD2]“Whatever, we gotta go.”[/color] Aiden rolled his eyes before ushering his sister out the door and towards his Jeep. The boy normally wouldn’t give two shits about what she decided to wear, but Rosefell was new territory and he had no clue what kind of... pervy animals roamed those condemned halls. As much as they may have argued and disagreed, Liv was his baby sister, and if Aiden was anything, it was protective. He exhaled once more as he turned the ignition of the car, the roar of the engine drowning out any choice words he decided to utter under his breath.

The Howard siblings rolled down their long driveway and towards the Kingsley residence, what was sure to be an interesting first day awaiting them.[/color][/indent][/indent]
