Im not a criminal

Kate's POV
Ok, today's the first day of school. You don't have to be scared. High school is just another place with idiots that you have to live with. I don't know why I'm so scared, I've been going here for three years now.

This was Kate's last year of high school so that means she's going to be a senior. She should have been a junior this year but she skipped a grade with her best friend, Merissa.

"Kate honey, your going to be late for school if you don't get your butt going",said her mom.

"Gotcha mom I'm coming. Now which shirt should I wear... yes this one. Oh and these cute shorts I got. I really hope that no one will make fun of me this year..."

Kate's family wasn't the richest family in the town but they still got by. Kate loved her mom more then anything.

And yes you heard me right i said mom. No dad; her dad died in a car crash with her mom while she was pregnant with kate. Her mom survived with kate, healthy, but her dad died in a coma a couple weeks later.

"Bye mom love you, see you after school, I'll try not to die."

She got in her car and drove to the one place she would kill herself at, school.

"Merissa, OMG, I havent seen you in forever."
"Kate i missed you so much I'm sorry I haven't talked to you in a while but I went on a caribbean cruise and I didn't have any service."
"Your fine I'm just glad that i have someone to help me with this fucked up place."
"Yea I know right. So did you meet any cute guys this summer?"
"You know I always...... DON'T! I think your going crazy, no guy will ever like me. I'm like 5 ft 3(shortest girl in the grade) and I have the most stupidest colored hair that god could have thought of."
"Now now no need to get grouchy. Come on let's go in and find our locker."
Kate and Merissa got to there locker and started decorating. Since it was the first day and they were seniors, they could skip first period and stay to customize their lockers.
"Hey, Merissa, I'm going to get a drink from the vending machine. Shoot, I don't have any money. Well no ones around so if i could just stick my arm up the hole..."
"Hey, you there what are you doing. Your coming with me to the principals office you little criminal."
