The Alarm clock blares it's annoying wake up call, jarring me out of my dreams. I slam my hand down on the snooze button and turn it off. I sigh as I stare up at the ceiling before getting out of bed and walking into my bathroom. I turn on the light and groan at my reflection in the mirror. Just as my luck would have it there is a light bruise on my left cheek.
"Shit" I mumble as I poke my cheek, wincing at the pain. I hurry up and do my morning routine before heading downstairs to make Dad's breakfast.
'Wait did he even come home last night?' I think as I strain my ears to hear upstairs. Not hearing anything, I creep back up the stairs and head to my Dad's room. I listen for any sounds. Still not hearing anything I take a risk and quietly open the door a fraction to look in the room. All I see is an empty bed.
'Guess not' I think as I shut the door and head downstairs again.
I sigh as I walk into the kitchen and grab a bowl out of the cupboard. I grab some cereal and pour it into the bowl. I walk over to the fridge and grab some milk and pour the milk into the bowl.
After I'm done putting the milk and the cereal away, I grab a spoon out if the silverware drawer and pick up my bowl. I lean back onto the counter as I eat, thinking about the long day ahead of me.
' I wonder if I'm going to see Zaine today in any of my classes' I think as I finish my bowl of cereal. I rinse out the bowl and spoon and put them in the dishwasher. I head upstairs and into my room and shut the door.
Walking over to my closet, I pull out a pair of dark blue skinny jeans and a Black veil Brides T-shirt. I change into my clothes and put away my pajamas before making my bed.
Once I'm finished I walk into my bathroom and brush my teeth. Then I start the ever so frustrating job of trying to cover up the bruise on my cheek. I grab my liquid foundation and start applying it to my face, trying to make it as even as possible while still covering up the bruise. I stop and look at my work.
I've managed to make the bruise less noticeable. You can't even tell that there's one there unless you really look at my face.
'I doubt that anyone would really look at me though' I think as I apply a light brown eyeshadow to my eyelids. After that I put liquid eye liner on my top lids and apply mascara to my lashes. To top off the look I apply some neutral colored lipgloss.
Once that's all finished I move onto my hair. I separate my hair into sections and begin straightening it with my straightener. It takes me about 20 minutes to do. When I'm all done I look over my appearance once more to make sure everything looks alright before heading back into my room. I gather all the stuff ill need for the day and put it in my backpack. Then I grab my iPod and check the time. It's 7:00
'Sweet ill have time before school starts to do whatever I want' I think as I grab my stuff and head out downstairs and out the door. I make sure I lock the front door before I begin the walk to school. As I walk I pull out my headphones and plug them into my iPod. I put them into my ears and begin blasting my music. The first song that pays is "coffin" by Black Veil Brides.
When I get to school I head straight to my secluded area. As I walk up the steps to the roof of the auditorium, I sing along to "Bones" by Young Guns. When I reach the roof I walk over to my usual sitting spot and drop my bag down. I sit down and lean my head back against the half wall. I sing along to the song as I stare at the morning sky.
I stop suddenly when I see something move near the stairs out of the corner of my eyes. I look over to see what it is, and I'm speechless for a few seconds. Zaine is leaning against the wall near the stairs, smiling. I quickly take out my headphones and think of something to say.
"What are you doing up here?" I ask as casually as possible. Zaine smiles again before responding.
"I was walking by the auditorium when I heard singing. I couldn't tell where it was coming from so I started walking around the building to try and find the source. Then I saw the stairs and decided to investigate. And now I'm here. You have a beautiful voice by the way" . I feel a blush crawling its way onto my cheeks.
"Thanks" I say while looking at the ground trying to get rid of the red lightly covering my cheeks.
"No problem" Zaine says as he walks over to where I'm sitting. "May I?" He asks pointing to the ground to the left of me.
"Uh yeah sure" I say as I move my bag out of the way. I put one headphone back in and turn the volume down so I can still hear Zaine if he decides to talk some more.
"So what are you doing up here all by yourself?" Zaine asks as he looks around the roof.
"I come here to be alone. I don't really like being around a whole bunch of people. This is a place where I can relax and be by myself" I say as I move my hair out of my face.
"Huh. I never would have pegged you as someone didn't like being around people. You didn't seem like that type of person to me" Zaine says as he looks at me. I laugh lightly.
" we'll there's a lot you don't know about me" I say as I look over at him and smile. He smiles back but then his smile falters and he gets a concerned look on his face.
" hey what is that?" He asks while gesturing to my left cheek.
'Oh shit! He noticed it what do I do?!' I think as I quickly scramble my brain to think of what to say.
" what's what?" I try to say as casual as possible.
"On your cheek. It looks like a bruise. What happened?" He asks while looking into my eyes.
"Oh that I-Its nothing. I spilled some water in the kitchen last night and I didn't realize it, so when I was walking around making dinner I slipped on it and hit my cheek against the counter. It was kinda embarrassing" I say as I laugh trying make the statement believable.
" oh alright. Does it hurt?" Zaine asks relieved but the concern still in his eyes.
"A little but it's nothing I can't handle" I say as I smile reassuringly. He smiles back lightly. Just then the bell rings, signaling the start of the school day.
"Shall we go?" Zaine asks while standing up and offering his hand to me. I laugh and grab me bag before taking his hand, letting him help me up.
"Yes I believe we shall" I say as I walk with him to the stairs.
"What class do you have first?" He asks as we walk down.
"I have English with Mrs. West" I say as we reach the bottom of the stairs.
" no way. I have her too. Guess we can be english buddies" Zaine says as he smiles at me. I laugh and smile back.
" I guess so"
