Scars (Wade Crybaby Walker love story)

chapter two

my eyes flutter open as the blaring ring from my alarm goes off. I quickly turn it off and I toss and turn to be met with my mother putting on her robe. "I'm going to make some waffles with fruit be down in fifteen minutes I don't want us to be late. she then leaves my room and I sit up and I let out a painful sigh. I go to my closet and I pull out a navy blue shirt that has large white buttons going down it and the skirt is yellow and goes to my ankles it has deep pockets and a yellow matching belt the skirt being flowy. I get dressed and I sit at my vanity and I put my hair into a high ponytail and I put on clear lip gloss mascara. this is all that I am allowed to wear to school most days. I look at my neck and I felt sad.

on my neck is a scar. it is from one side to the other and is wide. it is dipped in a little and the tissue and skin there is a bruised pinkish-red color. it is from when my kidnapper tried to kill me and god did I hate it. I think for a few minutes should I embrace it and let it show or cover it up again. I choose the second option and I take the clean bandage wrap from my drawer and I put it around my neck. I look at myself and I hate how this looked if there was another way that would cover it better I would take it. I wipe the small tears from my eye and I put on my black flats and I grab my bag heading downstairs to the dining room. I sit in my space and I eat as Mother is putting her food on her plate and we eat in almost all silence. I finish my food and I brush my teeth and I get a water bottle ready. I head out to mom's car. she has a baby blue 1940 cheverltte and she is very proud of it we don't see much of these around. mom then drives us to the school and students are gawking at us I hold my head down and I follow my mother to the front office. we sit for maybe thirty minutes and the desk lady comes over. 

"How may I help you, ladies," she asks 

"well it is my daughters the first day, she just needs a tour and her schedule and I also have notes for her teachers, she is mostly mute at the moment due to medical issues but is slowly getting better I just want to make sure she is settled in enough." my mom answers. the woman nods and goes to her desk. 

"miss Fitgerold," she asks 

"yes that's her" the woman motions me to come up and she hands me a list of my classes and she calls up a student to show me to my class. soon a boy wearing a nice coat and button-down shirt. 

"Baldwin here is a star student, he will be showing you around." the woman says. I hold out my hand for him to take and he shakes it. "Baldwin show her to her locker it is in the third hall locker three ninety-nine." I then follow the boy to my locker and he stands there watching me open the locker door. 

"so are you new to town," he asks and I shake my head. "what happened to your neck" I then try to sign to him not to ask and it was private and he gives a confused look. I then take out my whiteboard and I write it out saying what I tried to say. "oh okay well the first class is spelling well today it is literature I know what class that's in follow me." I then follow the boy up the stairs and to the end of the hall  and he knocks on the door and a woman opens the door I give her the note. "she is new" 

"oh okay" I then walk in and the teacher starts. "students we have a new student," sweetheart tell everyone your name" I then take out my whiteboard and I write out my name and that I am mute for a few more weeks due to an injury. the teacher then has me sit down and hands me a book. right now we are reading the raven by Edgar Allen Poe and I have already read this book like five times so this is going to be easy. the teacher goes around asking people to read. we then talk about the meaning and no one would raise their hand to speak. "come on this isn't that hard what is it about"  I then nervously raise my hand" 

"yes finally thank you miss Fitsgerold would you like to come up and write what you think it means," she asks and I nod. I go to the front and I write out my answer. the teacher then reads it aloud "the meaning of the raven comes from what the Edgar meant for the raven to symbolize and that it is meaning of mournful never-ending remembrance. the raven talks about how Lenore will return nevermore meaning she is gone forever and the narration is fighting that truth. wow that is a very detailed answer and it is correct as well good job miss Fitsgerold." I then take my seat and just as the teacher is about to continue the bell rings. "for homework I want you to write a story that would have you or the character in your story have trouble accepting this will be due on Wednesday so please work hard." she says and I gather my things to leave to see Baldwin waiting for me. he then walks me to history and I give my note to the teacher and I sit in the back.
