Jocelyn's POV

" WAKEY WAKEY, GET YOUR ASSES UP OR YOU GET NO BAKEY!", My dad Dr. Hill, yelled through his bull horn that he bought after Tara was born. He figured that since he now has five kids and we had a HUGE house back in Georgia, and was too lazy to go to everyone's room, he'd get a bull horn. Oh how rude of me, I'm Jocelyn Janelle Hill, 1 of 5 Hill Kids. I'm 15 and dance, sing, and act, I'm a triple threat, but I don't like to brag. Me, my dad, and my 4 other siblings moved from Atlanta, Georgia all the way across the country to Huntington Beach, California. Surprisingly, I wasn't all that mad considering I didn't have any friends back in Georgia, I usually just hung with my family and was too focused on my acting and such. Any who, I slowly got outta bed, seeing my sister Georgie was already up. I lazily smile at her and she smiles back. Yeah, we share a room, but I'm cool with it, because she's only one year younger than me and we have things in common. Looking at each other we dart outta our room trying to rush to the "good" bathroom. The reason we call it the "good" bathroom was because it had two sinks unlike the other one which only has one sink. We get to it and luckily, its available. We go in their and do the routine of ya know all the things girls do in the bathroom. As we go out we bump into our two brothers, Frankie and Zane, give them smiles as to say "Good Morning" and continue going back to our rooms. I get dressed in a reaaly cute outfit because today is our first day in Huntington Beach High! I'm just glad that it's the first day of school, so that we don't have catch up with anything. Once Georgie is done, we go down to the kitchen and get us some breakfast which only consisted of two pieces of fried toast and orange juice, so dad lied, theirs no bacon.

" So, you guys ready to go to school?", Dad asked to us.

" Oh yeah Dad, so ready to go to a school of strangers that have no idea who we are, I'm itchin' to get bullied and pushed into lockers, I'll go start the car!", Frankie grinned sarcastically. He's always the jokester.

We all laugh at him and continue eating. " Jocelyn, you and Frank gonna see if there's any talent shows or plays going on at HB?", Dad asked. Frankie and I were always involved in some type of play or something back in Atlanta and it won't be any different in Huntington.

" Oh most definitely, who would we be if we didn't?", I confirmed.

We finished eating and all piled into the van that Zane called "The Soccer Mom Magnet". My Dad dropped off my youngest sibling,Tara at Huntington Seacliff Elementary School first then the rest of us at Huntington Beach High. Me, Georgie, Zane, and Frankie got out and looked up at the huge campus in awe. Our school back in Georgia was not nearly this big, this place is just GINORMOUS. We found the entrance and luckily the office was straight ahead. Their was a lady maybe in her mid 30s sitting at the front desk looking into a computer doing whatever secretaries do. I hear Frankie clear his throat to make our presence known, the lady looks up from her computer and we all smile our famous Hills' smile that when we're all together, people say is kinda creepy.

" May I help you?", she questioned with indifference, obviously bored with her life.

" Yes, I'm Frankie Hill, this is my younger brother Zane,and younger sisters Jocelyn and Georgie. We're new here", Frankie greeted using his "Frankie G Charm" as he liked to call it, because you know how there is a Frankie J, he calls himself Frankie G. This most of the time makes girls and some older woman very bashful.

" Oh Ok, well here are your schedules and locker numbers, combinations and whatever else you need to know, just come find me, by the way, my name's Ms. Liam", Ms. Liam smiled at us( More so at Frankie), handing us our necessities. We thanked her and went into the student filled halls. Everyone looked at us like we were scientific experiments or something.

" Well, I guess this is where we split up?", Georgie frowned, no doubt upset that we had to get to class.

" Yup, need someone to walk you to class, I'll do it?", Frankie offered, putting on his protective, big brother face.

She nodded," Please", she chuckled nervously interlocking their arms so they don't stray apart.

" See you guys later, c'mon GiGi", Frankie then left with Georgie on his arm. So it was just me and Zane left to fend for ourselves.

" What's you're first class Joss?", Zane looked at me.

" Uh, according to this paper, Advanced Calculus, Room 117", I answered. That's right on the first floor, thank God.

" Alright, need me to walk you to class?", He suggested.

I shook my head, " Nope, it's on this floor, so I don't have to go far, see ya later", I waved to him, going down the hall. It didn't take me long to find my class, and I'm glad that I wasn't late. I timidly walked into the classroom and everyone automatically looked at me. At the desk was a Caucasian man in his I'd say late 20s.

" Hey, you must be... Jocelyn Hill. I'm Mr. Carmichael", he greeted, shaking my hand.

" Hi, uh, where can I sit?", I asked, nervous as ever.

" Oh yeah, you can sit next to Miss Lola James, Lola could you raise your hand?", He called to this Lola character.

I look out into the classroom and see a girl in a bright red shirt and purple jeans wave her hand at me, so I sit in the empty seat next to her.

" Heeeyyy, I'm Lola Carmen James, and I wanna be your best friend, is that cool with you, oh please say yes!?", Lola exclaimed. This girl is very bubbly, I can see that, but friendly nonetheless.

" Uh, sure, Ok. I'm Jocelyn Janelle Hill and I'll be your best friend", I agree, holding out my hand for her to shake.

" Oh, c'mon, put that hand away, what are we? Business partners? No, we're best friends and what do besties do? They hug!", She tells me and pulls me in for a bear hug, I was startled, but hugged her back.

" Alright, Alright, I see you guys are gonna get along fine, but let's pay attention now Ok?", Mr. Carmichael stated.

Throughout the whole class, I took notes, answered some questions and was done with the classwork pretty quickly, while Lola was still working on it.

" How in the hell are you done, this shit is impossible", She cried. I laughed at the fact that this adorable, innocent looking girl could curse like a sailor.

" I just study a lot and pay attention, that's all, here lemme show you how it's done", I explained to her and showed her how to do the work.

" Whoa, I actually got that, thanks", She smiled at me and I smiled back at her saying " You're welcome".

The bell then rang and we walked outta class. " Lemme see you're schedule",She demanded playfully.

I handed it to her and her face suddenly lit up. " We have every class together! That also includes my cousin Matt and his friends so beware, they are kinda troublesome", Lola warned.

She then lead me to our next class, which was Biology. We started walking towards these rebel looking guys who were dressed in all black. One guy had the most beautiful hazel eyes I have ever seen in my life. I tried not to stare, but I just couldn't. Eventually, I pulled away before he could notice and took a look at the other guys. One guy had these hypnotizing green eyes, another with his black hair going in every direction in the back with blue eyes, another with dark brown eyes with his black hair down to his shoulders, and the last guy was short, almost as short as me!

" So Jocelyn, this is my cousin Matt", She pointed out to me the guy with Hazel eyes. Oh my Gosh, I was just checking out Lola's cousin! I feel so embarrassed right now!

" And these are his friends Zacky, Jimmy, Brian, and Short Shit, oops, I mean Johnny", She chuckled, making it obvious she meant to say that crude nickname. I was confused, Lola said we have every class together, yet they weren't in Calculus.

" Nice to meet you, uhh Lola said we have every class together so why weren't you in Calculus?", I thought out loud. They all laughed and I was so confused right now and I bet they could see it on my face.

" Hun, we always skip first period, it's like tradition to us", the one named Brian explained to me.

" Oh, got it", I responded, not really sure what to else to say.

" So, Jocelyn, where ya from?", Matt asked curiously.

" Atlanta, Georgia. I just moved here 3 weeks ago", I answered with a smile on my face.

He nodded his head. The teacher then walked in and we took our seats, me immediately taking out a pen and notebook, ready to learn. Suddenly, a crumpled up piece of paper fell on my desk, I looked up to see who gave it me and saw Matt smirk at me. He mouthed 'Read it', so I did.

' what r u doin after school?' I really didn't wanna lose focus on the teacher teaching, but Matt was cute and what kind of teenage girl would I be to ignore this? ' A smart one' my inner thoughts told me, but I responded anyway.

' Uh, my dad picks me and brothers and sister up. Y?'. I threw the note back to him and I saw his smirk falter a bit, I don't know why. He passes it back.

' I was gonna ask if you wanted to come to me and the guys band practice after school, or is it too soon?'. I thought it was so sweet that he wondered if it was too soon. I guess I would have to convince Daddy to let me go.

' no it isn't too soon, I guess I could try to convince my Dad to let me go'. I pass it back smiling at him. He smiles and writes back and passes it back to me.

' great :). Now get back to work'. I giggled quietly, not wanting the teacher to hear me.

**** Lunch ****

Me, Lola, and the guys all sat at an outside table once we got our lunches. I was sitting next to Matt and let me just say that his arms are huge and covered in tattoos. He's only 16 for cryin' out loud! As a matter of fact, all the guys were covered in tattoos, this intrigued me. They seemed dangerous, yet that made them more interesting to be around.

"So, Jossy Fruit, what's your story?", Jimmy asked.

I knitted my brows together in confusion. "My story?", I questioned back.

" Yeah, like why are you here? What's your family like? What's your dream? What's your purpose on Earth?", He explained.

Everyone looked at me expectantly, waiting for my "story"

" Well, my dad's a doctor and he got transferred here. I have 2 sisters Tara, who's in 5th grade at Seacliff and one goes here named Georgie who's a freshman and 2 brothers Zane who's a junior and Frankie who's a senior that also go here. Uhh, my dream is to be a well known actress slash dancer slash singer. My purpose...I... I don't know", I told them.

" What about your mom?", Zacky asked. I choked up at just the thought of my mom. Do I trust these guys, who I just met today, to tell them this? I decided since these guys are my only friends, I might as well get it over with.

" Uhh.. my mom died 2 years ago. There was a shoot out at the law firm she worked in and she got shot in the head. Worst day of my life", I got it out of the way.

They looked at me with sympathy in their eyes, but before anyone could say anything, an African American girl that looked about my age walked up to our table and kissed Zacky.

"Hey guys, who's this?", she looked at me curiously.

" Babe this is Jocelyn, she's new", Zacky explained to her. She smiled at me and shook my hand.

" Hey, I'm Emoni, nice meetin' you", Emoni smiled. I told her it was nice meeting her too. We continued eating until the bell rang and it was study hall so we decided to just walk the halls. I saw on the bulletin board a sign up sheet for the play " Annie", but more like a teenage version. I was interested so I excused myself from the group to walk over to the board and right when I was about to put my pen to the paper, I was pushed by a blonde girl along with a blonde guy next to her. They were both wearing an obnoxious amount of yellow clothing, they looked like big human sized balls of sunshine.

" Move it or lose it, Bridgette Knight comin through", the blonde guy announced. I'm guessing that this girl is the infamous Bridgette Knight. I wasn't one to get mad, but I was kinda upset that they had the nerve to push me. They totally just went up and signed the sign up sheet for the play! I wasn't mad that they signed up, I was just mad that they had to push me to do so!

" Uh excuse me, I don't know if you noticed, but I was kinda gonna sign up too?", I pointed out.

The blonde guy looked me up and down," And who are you?".

" I am Jocelyn and I was just about to sign up for the play until you bum rushed me", I calmly told him.

" Well you can sign up now that me and my sister signed up", he gloated. They walked away, strutting down the hall. I looked at them in a state of shock. I shook it off and looked at the names ' Bridgette Knight x3' and 'Justin Knight x3' written in cursive on the first two lines, I had to admit that they had great penmanship. They must be popular or something with that attitude. I just wrote my name and went back to the group.

" So I saw what happened over there, don't mind the Knight Twins, they think they are such big shit just cus their Mom and Dad own like a chain of fast food joints all over the country", Lola told me.

" Really? Well that explains the entrance they made. What's with their outfits?", I asked.

" Honestly, I don't know. I think Justin is a little bit on the gay side. I mean it's either that or he really is too far up Bridgette's ass to get his own style", Johnny joked.

We laughed at this, but that had me thinking, what if he is gay? I mean I have no problem with it because me and my brother are both bisexual. I must have been deep in thought because I felt someone shake me. I look over to see Matt worriedly looking at me.

" You okay there Lyn?", he questioned.

" Yeah, I'm fine, guys I gotta tell you something", I told em.

" What is it Jossy Fruit?", Jimmy wondered.

I looked at them and said, " I'm bisexual".

They all looked at me. "Well, say something", I demanded.

" Wow, I had no idea", Lola admitted.

" I hope this doesn't change anything", I put my head down.

" Why would you think that? Just because we were joking about Justin? I know we come off as assholes sometimes, but we're not Homophobes. This doesn't change anything", Matt assured me.

I smiled at this. They all nodded agreeing with Matt. The bell blared and it was time for our next class, P.E., except for Emoni, she had Calculus. I only liked that class when we do sports I like. Since it was the first day of school, we didn't do anything, but sit on the bleachers. All of a sudden I see Zane and Frankie walk in, they notice me and start walking towards us. They must have the same gym period.

" Hey sis, who are your friends?", Zane asked with fear in eyes, because I admit, they do look kinda scary, except Lola of course.

" Zane, Frankie, these are my friends Lola, her cousin Matt, Zacky, Jimmy, Johnny, and Brian. Guys meet my brothers, Zane and Frankie", I introduced them.

" So it's just Frankie, it's not short for anything, like Franklin?", Zacky asked my brother. This question is frequently asked, if I was Frankie, I would've snapped already.

Frankie just smiled," No, just Frankie, my mom never liked the name Franklin, she said it sounded like it was for an old man. Or a certain cartoon turtle". They laughed at this.

" Yeah our mom was never one for old names, even though dad's name is kinda old with Raymond. Could you imagine our names like Gertrude, Herman, Henrietta, Betsy, and Humphrey?", Zane laughed at his own joke, as did everyone else.

" Well I gotta admit that mine and Tara's middle names sound kind of old fashioned. Gerard and Dianna", Frank stated.

" Oh, guys, Dad called earlier and said that we have to get the rest of our stuff out of storage after school", Zane informed us. I frowned, 'cause this means I can't go to the guys' band practice. The guys frowned as well, but no words were said.

" So Frankie, did you sign up to audition for "Annie"?", I said, changing the subject.

" Oh you know it, I'm goin' for Daddy Warbucks, I wanna try out my bald cap and I knew you just had to sign up", Frankie laughed.

" Aha, I can't wait to see that, I, of course am going for Annie and if not, Miss Hannigan", I replied.

" Why would you want be Miss Hannigan? She was a bitch", Brian asked.

" Brian, as an actress, it's good experience and fun to act as someone way out of your comfort zone. That way, you won't have trouble with any other type of role", I explained to him.

" It's kinda like with music. You know a certain song or note is way out of your range and comfort. You can either practice, practice, practice. Or you could embrace the song and put your own style on it", I added.

" Oh okay, I see what you're sayin'", Brian realized what I was saying.

**** After School ****

Me, Zane, Frankie, and Georgie were waiting out front for Dad. Lola, Emoni, and the guys were waiting with us. I see a long pink limo pull up in front of the school and whaddya know? Bridgette and Justin just so happen to get in. I tried not to laugh because this was just to funny, seeing a really hot masculine guy get into a pink limo. On the back of the limo, it had the initials BK and JK in diamonds. I felt a hand on my shoulder and looked up the culprit, it was Matt.

" I'm kinda bummed that you can't make it to band practice, but the next one is on Wednesday, maybe then you could come", Matt suggested.

" Maybe, what kinda music do you play?", I wondered.

" We play hard rock, like ya know Guns n Roses, Metallica, ya know, stuff like that. We write our own songs too. I sing, Brian and Zacky play guitar, Johnny's on bass, and Jimmy's on the drums", He described to me.

" Well I can't wait to hear you guys, oh there goes my dad. Call or text me later" I told him, knowing I gave him my number earlier in the day. He nodded saying he would and got in his car with the others. I got in the van and said hey to Tara and Georgie, who I have not seen all day.

" So, Tara, how was fifth grade. Any cute boys?", I teased my baby sister.

She gushed while giggling, " Oh my gosh, Joss, there was a boy who looked just like Zayn from One Direction and I sat right next to him at lunch. He even shared his Rice Krispy Treat with me!"

" Ooh, he sounds like a keeper. You gonna make him your boyfriend?", I joked with her.

" Maybe...", She mumbled. Everyone in the car was doing cat calls, teasing Tara, making her blush. We saw a bunch of boxes in front of the house with our names on them indicating which ones were ours. We finished bringing them in and where now unpacking them while Dad ordered pizza. As I was unpacking, I found a picture of my mom. I looked at it for a few minutes trying not cry and eventually put it on our night stand. After we ate, I headed up to my room for bed. It was like 10 P.M. and my phone buzzed, telling me I had a text. I saw it was from a number I didn't know. I was confused, then I realized, it was probably Matt.

' Hey, it's me Matt :)'

I texted back, ' Hey Matt, what's goin on, how was practice?'

A few minutes later, my phone buzzed again. ' Practice was good, it would've been better if a certain triple threat was their to watch us ;)'.

I giggled at this, ' Sorry, I'll try to make it to the next one :)'

He texted back, ' It's fine, there will b many more. Also, I didn't get a chance to say this at lunch, but I'm sry about ur mom. If she was anything like u or ur other siblings, I bet she was great'

I teared up at this, no one has ever said anything so nice to me. ' Thanx. She was a great mom, she would've liked to meet you guys. As weird and scary as you may look, she never judged anyone'. Remembering my mom and her personality. So caring, loving, non judgmental, supporting, dedicated, and talented. I could go on and on about my mother, Roxanne Chelsea Hill- DiaVinci.

' Anytime :), nd tht sounds like you. I'm glad u didn't judge me nd the guys. I'm gonna warn u, we get pretty violent nd rowdy. We've even been arrested'

My eyes widened at this. I didn't know that, I mean I figured they got into some trouble , but I didn't know that the police were involved.

' Really? I didn't know about that'.

He texted back, ' yeah, but don't wry. I would nvr put u in any kind of danger :)'.

Aww, I was touched. ' Aww thanx :). It's gettin kinda late, so I'll see you tomorrow. Gnight Matthew :)'.

' Nite Jocelyn, Sweet dreams'. I smiled and put my head on the pillow. Maybe, Huntington won't be so bad after all
