Breaking Free

Chapter 1

For some people they have it easy. Perfect life, family, friends, and everything and anything else that anyone can dream of. But not for me. I am 15 a freshman in high school. I have friends or people that you could call friends. I never really fit in. I like music and art but I don't think I am very good at any of it. Trust me it gets better I think. Here is the story.

"ERIKA!!!!!!", My brother Liam screamed.
"WHAT?!?!?!", I yelled back
I wish I was an only child but sadly I am not. I just wish that I was like everyone else but still stand out.
"MOM WANTS YOU!!!!", He yells back.
Ugh. Not again most likely I am gonna be late for school for the third time this week. I already have family problems now I have to have school problems. My parents recently separated and my mom won't stop crying. Why can't I be like any other girls and only worry about my hair or boys. I have had boyfriends in the past and I haven't seen the boy I like since like the 7 th grade. His name is Noah. He was my best friend since like ever. Last time we talked we were 11 and he kissed me under a table. That was the last I ever saw or heard him.
When I got downstairs everyone was gone so I had to run and catch the bus. Luckily I got there just in time.
"Hey guys.", I said to the boys in the back of the bus.
" Woke up late and missed your ride?", John asked.
" For the third time this week.", he proclaimed.
"Maybe......", I said trailing off.
"Really?", He asked.
John is a junior in high school. We are friends, but not super close. You know.
"Well I think you need to set your alarm." he laughed.
"I do but I sleep through it, I even slept through a tornado siren!" I explained.
"Well then I guess you need to learn to get your lazy ass out of bed." Greyson said cockily. John casually flipped him off. Greyson laughed, " Go ahead protect your little girly friend we don't mind."
John looked at me and I could tell he knew what I was about to do. So before I could even lunge at Greyson he grabbed me.
"Easy there tiger. Don't want to get a detention do ya now." John tried to calm me down. It didn't work next thing I knew my fist was about to connect with his face, But before it could we were at school.
