We Are Broken

Chapter 1

Tally's POV

"Tally!" I hear my dad call my name from downstairs "hurry up or you'll be late for your first day of school"

"I don't wanna go! I'm different people will make fun of me!" I'm saying this because its true I only have half a head of hair. Why? Its because I'm in remission from cancer,my therapist says that I shouldn't be ashamed of it because it shows how strong I am but a bunch of teenagers especially here in Arkansas where nobody understands ,at least in California they knew me and kind of understood,they will end up judging me here. Everyone does.

That's why I went on my 'special diet' because I thought being skinny would keep people from staring at my hair problem.

Any-who I finished getting ready pulling on a black simple plan t-shirt and a pair of black skinny jeans then putting a little mascara on just to give my eyelashes a little volume.

I looked at myself in my mirror I looked okay I guess. This was my first time back at school since I got cancer, sure I did some schooling while at the hospital, but this was the first time in an actual school and to say I was nervous was an understatement.

I slipped on my baggy black hoodie and slung my pack pack over my shoulder,and yes I did just say pack pack, and then headed out of my room Turing off the light and closing the door.

when I got downstairs I was greeted by my younger brother and my dad sitting at the table eating breakfast my dad offered me a plate of biscuits and gravy and I just denied it and grabbed an apple, which I wouldn't eat either but my dad didn't know that.

"Are you guys ready to go?" My dad asked as my brother finished his food. I just nodded and walked out to the truck it wasn't much but is was better than riding the bus which I wasn't aloud to do yet do to my still low immune system.

It was a thirty minute ride from our new house to the school that's what I get for living in the middle of nowhere so I just sat in the backseat an listened to Simple Plan I really liked them their music pretty much hit home with my life.

My dad dropped my brother Kevin off at his school first because it was closer to the house and because he had to talk to the principle and the counselor about my 'problems'.

We got to my school and went to the office and I got my schedule and they had a student that was in my home room show me around thank god she was nice I gave her my schedule and she showed me where all my classes were, turns out we had a lot of classes together, before going to first hour which was almost over, due to our messing around. when we stepped in the teacher made me do an introduction which embarrassed me because I don't like the attention but I finally sat down next to the girl that showed me around what was her name? Did she ever tell me her name?.

As if reading my mind she looked at me and said "oh by the way my name is Agnes Combs and Im guessing you're Tally Shay the Californian? Right?" I simply nodded I guess rumors about my arrival had already spread I wonder what stories were being made about me being half bald.and of course she asked the question I was waiting for "so what happened to your hair I mean not that I don't like it and all but I was just curious, did you have cancer?" She said that Last part a little sadly oh no! not another sympathizer I don't want anymore people feeling bad for me!

"Yeah, but its gone now I haven't had cancer for 4 months now that's why I'm finally at school." I briefly explained trying to get her to realize that there was nothing to be sympathetic about.

"Oh! that's great! your a miracle! Gods watching over yo..." briiiing saved by the bell "well we have to go our separate ways we don't have the same second hour but I can't take you there if you'd like? it wouldn't be a bother at all."
