Breaking Point

CHAPTER 3:

It had been a few days now since the accident, and everyday was just a reminder that my mother could still be living her life to the fullest if it wasn't for me.

I slowly crawled out of bed and took the longest shower of my life. Today was the first day back at school and I was not looking forward to all of the stares that I would receive. My father and Noah had been telling people that I was the one driving the car and that I purposefully killed my own mother.

I grabbed a banana from the fruit bowl and hopped in my car to leave. This was the first time i had been in the front seat of a car since the accident so i was a little hesitant at first, but decided i have to move on eventually.

Once at school I parked in my usual car spot just as the bell was ringing. I made my way to my locker and the whole way their i got these stares and whispers from everyone including Olley who was supposed to be my best friend.

I finally got to my locker but stopped when I noticed a note hanging from the gap in the door. Not thinking much of it I pulled it out and read it.

Hey Brielle or should i say murderer,
I heard what had happened, no wonder your real mum didn't want you, you were a psycho from the beginning, you probably killed her too.

Lots of love,
N & O

After I read the note I knew exactly who had written it, Olley and Noah. I thought She was my best friend and that she would at least be the one person in this school that would believe that it wasn't my fault, but her believing that i did it made me think even more that it was my fault.
I scrunched up the note and just went to class. The whole day went by like a drag. Right now i am sitting here in detention for something that i didn't even do , at lunch i was sitting down and eating my sandwich when all of a sudden i felt something cold hit my back, i turned around and say Kassie holding and empty coke can in her left hand and in her other hand was her phone recording the whole thing. A few moments later the silence was broken by Kassies minion Jenna. The next thing I saw was Jenna on top of Kass throwing fake punches and kits while the whole grove area was filled with kids yelling " fight, fight, fight". " what is going on here?" Jenna quickly got off of Kass and pointed to me, Kass stood up a short while after with red face paint on her fingers and cheek. They didn't even have to speak a word before the teacher assumed that I had hurt Kass. " Detention Now!", I walked past everyone and just as I was at the door I heard " I wouldn't put it past you to start a fight on your first day back, seeing as though you did kill your own mother, twice".

So here I am, sitting in detention with a dozen papers in front of me that I need to finish before I can go home. This is going to be a long day.
