A bright light shines forcing me wake up. My eyes flutter open and I smile. Time for school. Not.

I fling the blanket of me, do a 90 degree twist and jump out of bed.

Many look forward to the start of the weekends and dread the end. Well, me? I'm the opposite. Now don't get me wrong or anything, it's not as if I actually like school. Hell, half the time I'm not even at school. It's just an excuse to escape hell, also known as my house.

After a quick shower, I throw on a pair of black jeans and a random top, not really caring about dressing up. It's not like these people are going to remember exactly what I wear everyday for the rest of my life.

Grabbing my bag, I hop down the stairs taking two at a time to grab a quick bite. Heading to the kitchen, I stop dead in my tracks.

Why is my dad still here? And who is that young guy sitting next to him? What are they doing here?

They seem to be in deep conversation, so I carry on and walk past, hoping not to draw unwanted attention. My hopes were to high.

'Rose, darling, can I have a word?' Father says, his voice leaking with fake kindness. You can't fool me, I know him all too well.

I spin around to face my dad when I catch sigh of the young guy. Tousled hair and brown piercing eyes meet my gaze. Turning away, I look directly at my father, nodding, for him to continue.

'Remember how we discussed about getting you a personal guard?' Ha, notice how he says we. There was no we. I had absolutely no say whatsoever.

'This is Jayden Moreno. And he's going to be your guard.' I originally thought it was going to be some big, old, bulky man but this guy is young and looks harmless. Well I guess the saying goes 'don't jugde a book by it's cover.'

'Hey,' my 'guard' says stretching out hand, waiting for me to shake it. I look from my father to the guy, then to the hand and shrug. I continue walking right into the kitchen and grab an apple.

'Rose,' father says warningly, dragging out my name.

This isn't awkward at all.

'Um, yea, gotta go!' I say spinning on my heel, heading of to the opposite direction.

'Wait you're forgetting something!'

'What?' I say rolling my eyes.

Dad nods towards the guard, who seems to be amused by the whole situation.

'Right.'

After a long lecture from dad, formal language spoken from the 'guard' and me pretending to listen, I am finally free. It's a beautiful autumn day, with the leaves slowly dancing around and landing in piles.

Waving goodbye to my dad, I look expectanly at the guard. It's just him and me left. I watch from a distance as he goes to the black Porsche and gets in, firing up the engine. Then he comes back out and walks to the passenger seat. Not a single glance towards me.

'Um, excuse me, ah, guard, what are you doing?' I say giving him a confused look as he just stands there holding the car door open.

'What do you think?' He says cockily. Noticing how I am still lost, he lets out a sigh, 'I'm fucking holding the fucking door for your royal fucking highness to get in.'

Woah, wait up. He did not just say that. What happened to Mr. Serious in front of my father?

'Okay, well, no need to tier your hands anymore. I'm walking.' I say, while trying to think up a plan to get him of my back.

'Sorry to break it to you, honey, but school is too far away for you to walk.' His voice cracking as he fails to speak in a high squeak. By now mister guard has walked right up to me, only an arms width away. Looking at him up close I see a small scar, starting above the end of his eyebrow and stopping mid cheek. Wonder where he got that from.

'Sorry to break it to you, honey, but I'm not going to school,' I mock him, copying his tone but acing the high squeak. I wait a few moments to let it sink in. His facial expresions turn from playful to confusion to all business in a matter of seconds.

Standing up straight, he looks down at me and says,'You are going to school, whether you like it or not.' Looks like Mr. Serious has returned.

Looking right back at him, I smirk.

'Make me'

Using my height as a advantage I duck past him, and sprint to the car that is still on. Hoping in to the car I slam my door shut and reach over to close the passengers door. I see the guard still in shock but he recovers quick. He strides towards the car and I wait until he is a millimetre away from me. My victorious face meets his desperate one as I zoom past.

That was way too easy.
