Winnie POV

I hate when people say stupid shit like 'If you love someone let them go'. It's complete bullshit. Life moves on, as true as it is; it's sad if you think about it. Our lives don't matter any more than the serial killer that could be sitting next to us on a subway. My mother could think differently though. Her life is full of friends and other social people like her. She finds having friends and a social life one of the most important things you could have in life. Shes more materialistic. That's just how her mind works. Dad wasn't much different from that but he was more open-minded and understanding of things. He was just someone that got lucky all the time. Your average social guy who was happy go lucky and glad to see everyone. He was the type to walk into some restaurant or bar and everyone knew him. I guess he was the one I learned the most from. My train of thought was then interrupted by my mom walking in asking an abundance of questions that I drowned out after hearing a second of her voice. "Hello? will you listen? Winnie!" She yelled eventually. "Ya I heard you," I told her after finishing up my breakfast. "What did I say then?" She asked, leaning on the counter. "You asked if I was listening then said my name," I told her. She sighed and went back on her phone.

"After school, I can't pick you up I have an office meeting, then I'm getting brunch so you can go out with your friends or find something to do after school just be back by dark or call me," She told me, grabbing her purse while staying on the phone.

"I don't have friends," I said grabbing my bag.

"Why can't you just say ok and do whatever your gonna do with your day, there's a lot of girls at your school that seem nice, I'm sure if you just made an effort you would be friends with them," She told me. That was the thing about my mom, she cared about my social life more than I did. I didn't care to have friends, after high school, It's not like im gonna see them again.

"Whatever you say mom, i'll see you later" I sighed. She waved bye to me as she took a call and I walked my way to school. There was nothing important at school for me, I didn't like any teachers, I didn't like any students and most importantly I didn't like the food. A car could kill me right now on the way to school and I would be perfectly fine with it. Science class came around and the teacher was talking about some project that I could care less about. I just kept looking at the 67 fastback mustang which is something that could mean nothing but for soe reason thats what changed my life in a second. A stupid dream car, that's when he walked in.

Cruz POV

"Cruz will you get the hell outta bed your gonna be late!" Mom yelled pulling my blankets off. I just mumbled some random words.

"it's your first day of school now get up I have work to get to" She scolded. I laid in bed for about 10 minutes, sat up, and stared at the wall for another 5 before I actually got ready and by ready I mean I just threw on a sweatshirt on and walked out of my room.

"Seriously I bought you a nice shirt and pants and you want to wear sweatpants and a hoodie to your first day of school?" She scolded, as she put her hair up.

"Yup," I said walking over to the fridge.

"Cruz stop being a smart ass I don't know why you have to be so difficult just put on some nice clothes," She told me.

"That just seems like a lot of work and like you said I don't want to be late for the first day of school," I said finishing the carton of milk.

"Fine... that's old milk you just drank but you want to be ungrateful fine get in the car and you could wait there" she said making her coffee. "Mom I'm not being ungrateful-" I began as she immediately cut me off with her screaming and yelling of complaints that I eventually just zoned out. The thing about my mom is she always has to be mad about something she always has to start a fight or get her way. She tries to be a good mom and everything but her way of trying is by trying to drink her problems away. If you already can't tell we don't get along much, we're too stubborn. We got in the car as she just kept talking about how much of a difficult child I was. "See we're already late," She snarled. I got out and slammed the door and she sped off. Great way to start the first day. I walked in the hallway with no expression figuring that will keep people away. This is the 5th new school I've gone to. Mom has moved us around depending on which boyfriend she's staying with that year but I've only lived with her for 3 years before I used to live with my Grandma. People annoyed me and I don't mean certain people, I mean all people. I didn't come to make friends or socialize, to be honest, I don't even know why I'm here. I walked to the bathroom and figured I would ditch class but that wasn't all. I walked into the bathroom and after 20 minutes pulled out one of my mom's pain killer bottles. There were at least 40 pills left. I opened it up and got a handful. This is it...there was nothing in my life that could stop me not my mom not myself nothing. I was gonna end up just another kid who won't wake up. I grabbed some water and as I was about to take the handful of pills the door swung open and not gonna lie kinda scared the shit out of me. I immediately grabbed the bottle and hid the pills that were in my hand. "Aren't you supposed to be in class?" The man asked who I realized was the principal. "Um- I'm new and was about to go to the front office to ask for directions" I quickly said. "Well, you should have done that 20 minutes ago," He told me. He already seems like an asshole. He walked me to my class which was apparently science and what made it more awkward was everyone was staring at me for not only being late but also new. The teacher introduced himself and sat me next to the one girl who looked miserable as all hell but who also looked like a 12-year-old. She said nothing to me and I actually appreciated the silence everyone else couldn't seem to shut up though even the teacher. "Mr. Cruz you can be partners with Winnie who's sitting next to you" he told me.
