Ch. 1: Haunted Dreams

There were thousands of people, From kids to 70+ supporting him all wearing red and blue. His fans had posters high up.

#10 WE LOVE YOU

A tall, thirty-nine years old striker was standing there in green field, Ready to kick the ball. Running hands through dark blond hair, his dark green eyes (which I also got from him) scanned the stadium and stopped at me.

"Love You Princess" he mouthed.

I jumped and screamed, "I Love You Dad. Rock the Ball. #10 Forever" I raised the poster which had same words on it.

He Laughed and nodded. He waved at Mom and the twins. “Love you all” he mouthed and blew a kiss towards us. Then his eyes were fixed on the ball and the goal. It was a penalty. Dad took few steps and kicked the ball with all his force. My eyes moved from dad to ball and bingo that was a score.

Suddenly scene changed and I was in car with dad we were laughing. I insisted on going to Yogurtland. Just as Dad turned the car, another car coming from opposite side collided with ours and I screamed.

"DAD!!!"

I sat up in my bed. Again the same dream. It has been two months since dad left for eternity, All because of me and I couldn't forget the a second of that accident. I looked at the Pooh clock and seven AM alarm was going off. First day of senior year I groaned. I got out of the bed and did my morning rituals like everyone else. Nonetheless summer was worst for the whole family because of me and I just wondered for how many more people I'll create chaos?

I took a look at myself in mirror as I got ready for school. Dark green eyes, courtesy of my dad and light ash brown hair from Mom, petite body dressed in black skinny denim and dark red t-shirt which had Elmo on it... yeah I still love Elmo and a black scarf around my neck. I did light makeup to cover up the puffiness caused by lack of sleep. I exited the bathroom, took my bag, wore my boots and down the stairs to the hall I was.

"Morning Mom." I took the bowl of strawberries and sat next to mom. "Morning Twins."

The Twins, my brother and sister: Katherine had mom's light brown eyes and dad's blonde hair while Tyler had light green eyes and also blonde hair.

Katherine was having her light breakfast. While Tyler was stuffing his mouth like there was no tomorrow.

"Scott is driving me to the Hospital. Do any of you need ride anywhere today?" Mom said while trying hard to give me the 'Breakfast' "I got a case from New York so should I go or not?"

Addison Lea Spencer a.k.a Dr. Lea world known neurologist. Light Brown eyes with light Ash Brown hair. A beautiful tall lady then why am I short? I still have to figure that out.

"Mom we are fine and also Jane and Scott are going to be here so you should go." I smiled at her and the twins nodded.

Scott and Jane: the couple in their late 50s who have been living in outhouse before my birth. Supposedly Scott was my dad's butler as my dad's side of family was rich but to dad he was like part of family and to us too. Scott and Jane were like a grandma and grandpa to me

"Are you guys sure?" Mom still looked worried.

"Yes mom." we all said together and mommy gave us her beautiful smile.

"We don't need ride, I am taking Kate and Tyler. After school I'll drop Kate at her dancing class and we'll see if Tyler wants to join anything." I was about to take the water glass when I saw the newspaper.

'Will Late Stephen Spencer's Wife be a good Single mother? Will the Spencer Kids have Bright future?'

"What the hell is going on with these people?" My voice was louder than usual and my temper was rising. "Can't they see that we have a peaceful life and their interference is not appreciated in our lives."

I got up and took my keys. "I'll be in the car. Get your butts off of here and come to the car fast." I Glared at the twins and left.

I got into dad's black sports car. It was dad’s and my favorite car. After every game Dad would take us out in this car. It was like a special ride after the game. I leaned back and closed my eyes. As if waiting that any second dad would sit next to me and give me a hug. He would tell me to breathe out my anger, give me kiss on forehead and tell me that I was world's best daughter. With the sound of car door opening, I opened my eyes. Kate sat in the back while Tyler in the front. Both of them were starting high school today. If dad was here today. He would be the one taking us to school.

He would warning Kate about boys, Just like he told me on my first day of high school and telling Tyler to stay focus on studies rather than girls. But he is not here... all because of me. I sighed and started driving. Tyler was Eating a sandwich while Kate was fixing her hair.

"Hey Pig eat with manners." Kate looked at Tyler disgustingly.

"None of your business Barbie."

They were twins but their personalities were like black and white. Their bickering was still on. I reached Madison High Private School. I parked the car at the back of parking lot where not many people parked. As we all jumped out of the car. Kate waved at us and left to find her group of 'best friends' from middle school.

Fact #1: She is going to be a Cheerleader.

I took my bag and locked the car. Tyler was standing next to me, thanks to my 5'4 height I looked way too short in front of his 5'9. Even though Tyler was younger then me, we were best friends Tyler knew me so much that I didn't even need to say if I was in a problem.

"Lets go." He smiled at me and I nodded. We started walking to the school.

"Keep yourself calm." he hugged me and I nodded.

"I'll see you later." I smiled.

"Take Care." He kissed my forehead.

He always did things what dad did for me. It was like as if Dad was there for me. I walked to the office and got my schedule. I swear I felt like punching everyone. Why the hell are they giving me that sympathetic look?

Wow these people won't understand that I don't play soccer anymore.

"Hello My Love." It's definitely him

Chase Nelson: My mom's best friend's son. It should be illegal to have irritating humans like him on this earth or else doomsday deadline will come closer. President of Student council. Rank #1 in whole school. I have no idea why was he my friend when I had no interest in these things. Bingo I know why. Because I didn't judge him, when he used to be lonely-nerd.

"Awww... are you ignoring me? why?" He put his arm around me and started walking to the class.

"I saw your picture in the newspaper next to-"

He cut me off "Next to a hot girl" he whispered.

"No next to an article that said we lost our mental patient and if you happen to see him call 911 because his mental illness is very contagious." I smiled at him.

"How mean... I saw your picture in dictionary next to the word Bitch." he said mockingly.

"Oh I am honored to have such a title by an alien." I laughed.

We sat next to window. I was complaining to him about my schedule when the plastic bitch came and stood right in front of my desk.

"Fuck off Lyons." I glared out the window.

Lisa Lyons: The official bitch of the school. My soccer mate, who hated me since the day I started playing soccer. I am afraid my sister is going to be like these plastics.

I didn't have any idea why was she here when I was no longer a captain... wait leave that. I was not even playing soccer anymore.

"Aww daddy's princess got some temper." She said blowing on her witch painted nails.

I felt like anger was building up in me.

“Nothing to say Captain. Daddy’s death took a toll on you.” She gave me one of her evil smile.

I clenched my fist and I was about to give her a black eye but Chase held my hand before it could touch her ugly face. I felt like punching the hell out of her and then tie her and leave her in sun so all the plastic would melt from her face.

“Lisa Just leave.” Chase stood in front of me.

She just rolled her eyes and left to sit on her seat.

“You should have just let me punch her.” I sat in my seat and looked out the window.

“Nikki Are you out of your mind? do you want to get expelled on first day?” Chase made me look at him.

I sighed and just sat there. I had temper but I was never the violent type. what happened to me?

“Good Morning Class and Welcome back to School” The teacher said as she came in “Sorry I was out for some papers.”

I looked up and guess who was the AP Psych teacher? I turned to Chase and he smiled weakly at me “We are dead this year.”

AP Psych Teacher: Elizabeth Nelson … Chase’s mom. A strict and follow-the-rules-or-you-are-dead type teacher.

“I see I have quite a variety of students. Seems like this year is going to be fun.” She clasped her hands.

Of course it’s going to be fun when you report my blunders to my mom.

I gave her a weak smile when her eyes stopped at Chase and Me. Chase and I couldn't even mess around. The class was the longest class of my life. Jeez it's going to be like this the whole year.

“I’ve got AP Physics. what you got?” Chase asked me as the bell rang.

“Freakyyy. Nerd.” I chuckled. “I have AP Lit. I don't have a brain like yours” I patted his shoulder.

“See Ya then” He kissed my cheek and left.

I walked out of the class and head to English Building. As I was about walk up the stairs, I heard a whistle.

Oh No.

“Woot. Woot. Somebody is looking hot.” The voice said.

Jonathan Nguyen: The official asshole, boys soccer team captain and my official enemy and yeah ex-best friend. Before he turned into an asshole we were best friends.

“What do you want asshole?” I said with no emotions in my voice.

“You’re looking pretty sexy.” He whistled again.

I rolled my eyes and walked towards the class.

“You know almost all varsity soccer players have same schedule, so I am gonna escort you to classes all day.”

I ignored him while he kept on talking about his summer practice and how he was gonna beat me in next boys vs girls. It was fine until lunch. I was sitting in the corner with Chase, when Lisa appeared with her minions.

“So Captain ready for a competition?” She smirked “Ready to leave the title to me.”

I stood up and held arm and started pulling her with me as I walked to the locker rooms. I reached my locker and pushed her away. I opened the locker, took out my shirt and ripped away the captain badge and wristband, and threw at her. By that time we were surrounded by both girls and boys soccer players as there was no one else allowed in Soccer Lockers which were only for keeping the Soccer balls the extra uniform and things like that.

“This is what you wanted right? Here take it and decorate yourself.” I screamed. “For the one last damn time let me tell you. I quit. Wait no I stopped during the summer didn’t you realize I wasn’t even at the practice whole summer.” I punched my locker as the blood trickled down my knuckles.
