Shy

Chapter 1

     I leaned my head on the window and turned the volume on my ear buds down, this school bus really stinks. A paper ball flew in my seat and I heard laughter from the kids behind me.

"Ma hand me that back". Some boy tapped me.

I picked up the paper ball and give it back to him, he didn't know my name so he always call me that.  My name is Dutches Davies I'm from Crystal a very small town that's not even mentioned on the map I've been living here all my life and it will stay like that. Since I will be 18 next year I will move out my parents house. I sighed of Frustration this bus is taking forever to get me home.

I fiddled with my gold link chain around my neck and seen my neighborhood approach so I grabbed my bookbag and the Yellow Bus came to a stop and I walked off the bus.

"Bye Shy". The bus driver said.

I waved at her quickly and  walked away. I'm use to people saying Shy instead of the name on my birth Certificate. The leaves crunched as I walked over them with my Combat Boots. My mother's 2012 Lexus was parked in the drive way. I made my way up to the door and walked in.  My mother was sitting at the family table taking puffs of her cigs while scrolling on phone probably playing candy crush . I didn't say anything but drop my bookbag and climbed up the long stairs.

I plooped down in my bed after my long day at school I really don't wanna be bothered by my loud mouth Sister when she comes in so I hurried and went to sleep.

**********

I heard pounding on my window by my bed I rolled over and opened the window and let my sister in , we're almost like twins  just different ages.

"Thanks Dutches".

I nodded my head and shut the window and got back under my cover I heard her shuffling around stuff and turn the lights on I hate that we have to share rooms now but I guess money getting tight around here.

"Dutches you coming to this party with me tommrow ? You are not about to be in this house you never in your life been to a party so tomorrow is the day! Get plenty sleep". She told me.

"Tink you know I hate parties I'm not going". I spat.

"Yes you are Dutches if I have to drag you by myself I will at least try , I will be by your side the whole time don't worry".

I didn't say anything else and just drifted off to sleep.
