Hate me more, love me harder

One

Hope POV

I woke up in a unfamiliar yet familiar room.

I had just moved into a new town because my father got a new job here and he thinks it would be best if we all moved here.

It would only make sense anyways.

Today was the day that I start school.

Out of all days today is the day I know I would hate the most.

"Hope! I hope you are ready it's almost time for school." My mom says as she knocked on my door.

Fucks sake.

"I'm almost ready mom" I lied.

That's when I heard her foot steps walk away from the door.

I jumped up and looked at my phone.

It was 8:30 and school started at 9 my mom would most likely drop me off in 10 minutes so I took that time to take a shower and actually get ready.

I did lie to my mom about the whole thing but if I'm being honest, she would have been pissed and then I would still have to take a shower so it's either have my mom pissed on my first day of school or just get dressed quickly and try and have the best day ever.

Both sounded terrible and I wanted to die just because..

I have been down here when I was 7 or so...

After that I moved away and I didn't quite remember anyone from here except my best friends Maya and Landon.

Landon has been by my side every since 5th grade... I met him in New Orleans but then in 8th grade he moved back down here and now we can finally hang out again.

[landon:] can't believe I'm going to see you today!! Can't wait! Xoxo

I'm not homophobic or anything because I'm kind of gay myself but Landon is definitely gay.

I mean I have asked him before but he always beats around the bush.

[me:] can't wait to see you too land.

I said before setting my phone down and getting ready for my shower.

I need to make things quick if I don't want to be in trouble.

Josie POV

I was up at about 6 a.m doing my morning jogs and at 7 I took a shower.

It was a everyday routine.

Today was the start of a new school year and I was so ready for this school year.

My first two years of highschool was a total bust and they weren't as fun.

Maybe this will be my year.

I was the most popular girl in my school and if I'm being honest it felt great bossing people around.

I took the matter of bossing people around last year...

I don't mean to be mean but people just piss me off most of the times.

After getting dress I headed down the stairs and went to make me something to eat.

"Hey sis" said my sister. Lizzie.

My sister wasn't a fan of popularity as I was.

I mean she was a fan of the attention from the guys but she never really cares if she's the most famous or she's the best... she just likes to be known.

"Hey liz" I said as I grabbed some cereal from the cabinet.

"New year! What do you think is going to happen?" She asked

"I think that this year is going to be boring just as the others but... I heard that there are new hotties in the schools this year so maybe you would have some luck" I said as I took the milk out of the fridge.

"No thank you.. I'm already caught up with Milton" she says as she made her way to sit at the table.

"How's that going? You know... with Milton and stuff" I said before I started to make my cereal.

"It's going good. We have our 3 month anniversary next Monday" she says

I just smiled at her before putting away the cereal and milk.

"I'm going to quickly eat this and then I'm riding to school early... did you want to ride with me?" I asked as I put one scoop of cereal in my mouth.

"Thanks but no, I promised that I would ride along with mg and his friend Ethan" she says as she made her lips form a thin line.

"Sounds... not fun at all" I said before finishing up my cereal.

"I dont know... Ethan is pretty cool... I could set you guys up" she says

"Hell no... I'm good." I said before walking over to the couch to get my book bag.

"Well I offered" Lizzie says

I just left out the house and got into my car.

Me and Lizzie use to be closer than we are now.

Every since my dad and mom separated it's been hell.

My dad had got full custody in the case so my mom had to move far away as possible and I will say living with my dad is good I guess. Besides when he gets drunk

I would love to move with my mom and her new wife but the problem is that my dad is such a homophobic douche that he thinks if I spend any more time with my mom that I will turn out gay.

There's nothing wrong with being gay hell I'm even gay myself... well pansexual... I wouldn't say I love everyone though but I wouldn't care what you define as, as long as we connect and have something going.

My dad sees it differently, I found this out when my dad kicked my mom out of the house as soon as she announced being bi...

I was so happy for my mom but my dad wasn't... my sister didn't care that my father said those things to my mom and that's where we bumped heads.

I couldn't believe she didn't defend the women that gave birth to her.

When I had arrived at school it was about 8:20 ish.

I parked my car and got out.

When I started walking to the school I saw some boys checking me out.

I didn't say anything about it because they always do that.

As long as they don't try anything on me.. we are good.

When I walked in the school I seen that Penelope was here.

"Hey penny" I said as she walked up to me.

"Hey Josie, why are you here this early? Usually you are here around 8:40" she says

"My dad had someone over last night and I didn't want to witness what ever that was going on" I said with disgust.

"Mmm, have you heard from your mom?" She asked

"Not quite... there's still hope though" I said

"Well, there is this new girl coming to this school" she says

Of course there was it's a new school year.

"Mmmhmm" I said

"I heard she's like rich.. well her parents are and she's has the arm of a rich person" Penelope says with a smirk

"What do you mean a arm of a rich person?" I asked

"Like her throwing arm is amazing... well it was until what happened at her old school" Penelope says

"And I give a fuck about this new girl because...?" I asked

"Because she's got talent... and you know what talent does to you in mystic highschool" Penelope says as she raised her eye brow.
