I envy

Chapter 1

Once a quiet night two little kids, a boy and a girl lay quietly in their bed as they get told a bed time story. The kids begged and begged for a different one for all of the stories seemed to bore them.

As they heard their story they drifted off to sleep....

About 30 years ago in 2007 Maisie Freedman was a 16 year old girl from Washington State, enjoying her afternoon at school, that was until a few trouble makers came by, they beat her and teased her telling her "she'll never be nothing but a damn waste of air", the girl fell to her knees in tears, bruised and battered, the principal walks by and helps her up and asks her who did such a thing, she pointed across the way to his son Garret Wilder.

The principal, Mr Wilder, yelled at her for making such an "absurd accusation!", His son was sweet, loving and welcoming to all! Or so he thought at least...
He saw a boy standing across the hall and decided to ask of he saw anything to do with the incident, the boys name was Xander O'Connor, new to the area and new to the football team as well. Xander kept to himself and could be found in the library if he wasn't at football practice, but all the girl fawned over him.

He denied seeing anything that had happened but asked Maisie to stay and talk to him about what happened. She explained that Garret just attacked her unsure why and what for, he nods and smiles "Ok, well he won't be bothering you anymore" she stared at him confused by what he just said, "what did I grow a third eye or something?" He says to her. She went on her way thinking about what had happened to her that day and once she reached home she went around the back and climbed through the window and layed on her bed.

While she layed on her bed she reached for her Ipod and started drifting off into her own world, in the background of her music she can hear a plate shatter, nothing out of the ordinary for her though.. her dad was a drunk and always in fights with the mom.

As Maisie lays on her bed drowning out the sounds of her broken home with her music and thoughts she sits thinking to herself, "I envy the girls with perfect families, the girls who don't climb through their window to avoid their drunken father, the girls who have a pretty tiara and fancy dresses, the girls who's mother loved them and who aren't alone in this world" as she lays in her bed soaking in her tears she drifts off to sleep.

As the sun comes up and shines through her window  she gets woken up by her Doberman, this big loveable squeezable doggo lays his head on her stomach as she wakes up, she rolls off the bed and goes to grab her clothes out of her drawers, "I envy the girls with the brand new sneakers, the pretty make up and the dazzling new clothes" every morning, every second of her day she envys  and thinks about how she'll never be good enough.

After she showers and steps out in front of her broken mirror, she looks at herself... "What a slob, what mess. I'm fat, I have nothing about me that matters! Maybe if I don't eat this week... That's it! I'm just not going to eat, I'll lose weight and maybe I'll be loved!" She thinks as she brushes her matted hair and puts on a fake smile to start her day.

At school she walks down the hallway of the pretty cheerleader girls, the jock douchebag boys, the nerds.. ect, with her music turned up loud and trying to block everyone out in her own little world rushing the clock, she reached her locker and trust to open it, "dang, it won't open!" She thinks to herself while she pulls as hard as she can to try to get it to budge,

Music turned up and busy trying to open her locker the principals son Garret and his cronies (gang  of friends) walk up to Maisie, Garret goes to  swing at Maisie but gets his knees taken out by someone, he hits the ground and Maisie  jumps out of fear and turns off her music, standing there is Xander O'Connor the guy from the day prior, He has his hand on Garret's neck while Garret is on his knees, face inches from the ground.
