*BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP*

I slap my alarm clock as its ringing is almost loud enough today to give me a headache. I had to turn it up louder cause apparently I've been sleeping past the bell ring.

"ROREY BREAKFAST IS READY!!" My mom screamed from the kitchen. I threw on a sweatshirt and headed downstairs. Before I even hit the bottom step I could smell crispy bacon and buttery pancakes.

"Madre, what's the special occasion. You know that I'm fine with just cereal... right?"

She turns around from the stove and gives me one of those smiles when she has a crazy idea or just didn't get enough sleep and is waiting on her coffee to be brewed.

"Remember darling..."

"No honestly I don't."

"Your sister is going to her first job today!"

My older sister, Brooke was almost the exact opposite of me. All my teachers expect me to live up to what she did. She's like super smart and pretty and popular.

She's got short blonde hair, blue eyes and some freckles. I have long brown hair, green eyes, and a boat load of freckles.

Her new job is at some sciencey company called Chanix and they create basically every thing that is used in everyday life, other than China.

"Oh my god mom. I'm gonna miss the bus if... great I'll be back down in like 15 minutes."

I race up to my room and throw on my black high waisted skinny jeans with rips in the knees, that look hella good on me, my black Fall Out Boy tank top with a red flannel and some black converse high tops. I put on my makeup, brush/straighten my hair and brush my teeth. I race back down stairs and my mom is sitting at the island talking to Brooke about her new job that she hasn't even gone to yet.

"Oh hey Rorey, aren't you gonna go to the bus?" She says like I just walked outta bed.

"Um... yah no shit."

"Aurora Durani Wentz that's no way to talk to your sister!" (oh yeah did I mention that my parents picked out the weirdest name for me?)

"Sorry not sorry I gotta go. Good luck Brookey!" I scream as I run out the door. As I get outside I pull out my iPhone and shuffle my songs to try and get my mind off this awful start to the day.

I walk passed Leah's house. Leah loves to torment and bully me about how I'm ugly and how I have no friends. She draws everyone away from me by spreading awful rumors about my life she knows nothing about. I speed up a little and hold my breath hoping she doesn't see me or come out of her house.

When I finally pass her house I let my breath out and slow back down to my normal pace. Leah has hated me ever since the fourth grade when the teacher put my essay on the board instead of hers. As she climbed the popularity scale, she made more and more people start to hate me for a reason even they didn't know.

As I'm walking one of my favorite My Chemical Romance songs come on... Teenagers. Music is what helps me get through situations like these ones.

I get to the stop and just sit in a random seat. As my music is ending one song and starting a new one it pauses for a moment and I hear somebody say,

"Why won't anyone sit with that girl up there?" I didn't recognize the voice so I paused the music and turned around to see a new kid sitting with this jock and big time jerk, Derek.

"Oh cause she's a freak who dresses all weird and listens to like punk rock music. Don't talk to her and you'll be fine."

Great, another person who will never talk to me... yay. The new kid smiles and waves at me. I'm taken aback a bit cause no one ever even makes eye contact with me. I smile back and turn around. Did someone seriously just make eye contact with me. I didn't that that would ever happen again.

I heard someone coming on the bus so I paused the music to see who it was. Great, it's one of Leah's followers, Taylor. Taylor gives me a dirty glare and sits two seats behind me. She turns to the girl next to her, Monica I think her name is, and asks her a question that I can't really hear. Monica shakes her head and says something along that line of that new kid waving to me, so Taylor gets up and throws a paper ball at my head.

I turn my music back on and try to replay the conversation that I haut heard. I think they said that the new kids name was Calum. Ok so a boy named Calum doesn't actually hate me. I guess it's a start.
