The Un-Thinkable

In the beginning......

That morning I woke up not knowing how to feel about the first day of school. I decided to get dressed and brush my teeth, I made sure that had grabbed everything before I went downstairs to make breakfast, but I skipped breakfast because dad was on the couch. defiantly wasn't in the mood to argue before the sun even came up.

I grabbed my bag and walked out the door, and got into my car. I only have my permit, but it's okay. I drove to my best friend Mia's house and picked her up on my way to school.

"Hey girl hey!!" She said as she got in the car.

"Heyyy!" I replied.

As I drove to school, we stopped to get food because I was starving. I was lost in thought about how I was going to survive the day. However nothing was gonna stop me. I looked determined as we drove off.

When we got inside, we had to go to the auditorium for some stupid first day of school assembly. I dreaded it. I sat next to my best friend, obviously, the usual faces plus some new ones. The principal came out and started talking, It went on for what felt like forever, I wasn't paying attention until....

"We also would like to inform you all that we have an all new after school club," she continued. "for those of you who are interested in photography and taking beautiful pictures for our yearbook, feel free to sign up for photography club."

My eyes lit up. An after school club that actually has something to do with something I like. after a while, the assembly ended, The usual first day morning, then I finally made it to my first class.

One by one everyone came in, as I low key watched the door, A boy came in one that I haven't seen before sat behind me. I wanted to turn around and talk, But at the same time, I couldn't bring myself to do it I was too shy. For the rest of class I couldn't sit still. I could tell everyone thought I was more weird or on drugs. The second the bell rang I darted out the door.

To my surprise, the next 4 classes were exactly the same, He was in EVERY FUCKING CLASS! When the bell rang for lunch I ran straight to my locker and got my keys, I ran so fast down the hallway people probably saw lines behind me.

At some point I had stopped paying attention to my surroundings, and ran right into Baxter, my ex boyfriend. Trying to avoid all contact with him, I quickly walked away.

"what no kiss babe?" he said as he looked at me with a smirk. It took everything in my being to not turn around and kick his ass.

I got to my car where Mia was already waiting, we got in and I drove to get us some lunch, and went to her house after deciding to skip the last 2 classes.

"Tell me more about mystery boy," she started off. "What's his name?" She asked as we walked into her room. I looked down in disappointment and covered my face.

"I don't know I was too scared to ask, and I don't know if anyone knows him yet." She facepalmed as I replied.

"So you mean to tell me, you managed to fall for a boy and you didn't even get his name!?" she snapped.

"Ill talk to him tomorrow, we have like every class together." I sighed and rolled over.

"YOU BETTER!" she continued to nag me about being "too antisocial" as I dozed off. A few hours later I woke up to my phone ringing.

"4:30!?" I yelled as I left in a hurry.

When I got in my car, I checked my phone again and had 113 missed calls from my ex. I rolled my eyes and drove home, I thought about the boy from school as I did so.

When I got home I was greeted by my father, He was not happy. The flair of his nostrils let me know.

"Wh-where the hell were you," He glared at me. I knew he was drunk, I could smell the alcohol on his breath. With that being said I avoided eye contact.

"I-I was at Mimi's house." I held my breath

"You think you can just come home any kind of night?" I didn't bother even blinking, I knew what was about to happen.

*TRIGGER WARNING*

Luckily I had an advantage since I had shaved off my hair during a breakdown last year, I kept it short ever since. At least now he can't pull my hair.

"No I accidentally fell asle-" he cut me off.

"DON'T YOU FUCKING LIE TO ME BITCH!" He yelled as he threw his bottle of alcohol at me. Out of reflex I dodged it.

Oh fuck. I thought. I looked over as my dad gave me a bone chilling look.

"WHO THE HELL DO YOU THINK YOU ARE!?" He continued. "IF YOU EVER DO THAT AGAIN I'LL KICK YOUR A-" He was cut off by the sound of someone knocking on the door right behind me.

"Move out my way." He said. I slid out the way and started to head up the stairs. When I got caught on the voice.

"Hello sir," the voice continued as I looked over. "I'm the new neighbor. Is everything okay over here?" The voice said, I couldn't believe what the hell I was seeing.

It was him, the boy from class. I wanted to hear the conversation hoping to hear his name, but this was my only chance to get away from my dad. he avoids coming upstairs because that's where he found mom. 'he usually sleeps in hotels.' I thought to myself.

I plopped onto my bed and cried into my pillow. 'why me? ' I sobbed.

I walked out to the balcony and looked at the stars, they calm me sometimes while I think about my mom. I closed my eyes and took a deep breath, I laid down in bed Played on my phone till I got bored.

I also thought about the boy, I wondered if I'd see him in school. I wondered if he knew who I was or if he even knew I existed. Then I got a serious thought, I'll be 17 soon and I honestly don't plan on waiting to turn 18. I have my own car. I can just pack my stuff and drive to Mimi's.

She moved so dad wouldn't be able to find me. Mia and her mom are the only people who know about what my dad does. I cried again as I fell asleep.
