I wake up to my parents arguing. I roll over to my side and close my eyes tightly as if that would make them stop. Of course their fighting again. My parents have a lot of problems my dad dose heavy drugs and Is always angry, my mom is an alcoholic and she sleeps with ever guy.
"I saw it in your phone who is this guy bre!" I hear my father yell to my mom, she must be sleeping around again I try my best to ignore them as I get ready for school witch isn't that hard considering this happens everyday, you just get use to it.
As I finished getting ready I walk over to my long black framed mirror and frown at my appearance I am a pretty girl I guess, I have a clear light face with big brown eyes and blond curly hair that just reached my hips also a thin body with a little over average boob size and ass. But being a 17 year old girl growing up in a world with photoshopped models, anorexic girls, and everyone needing to look a certain way I always strive for perfection even though I know I would never reach it.
I fixed my hair quickly and walk out of my bedroom door to my frustrated dad yelling at my mother, still.
"Ahh another great morning."
I sigh quietly to myself as I run out the front door like a lightning bolt, avoiding my parents so the don't start fight with me. I've made that mistake way to May times before.
I walk down the street to Collin high school- my school.
"Hey Emily!" I hear a voice shout from behind me.
I shoot my head backwards and just as a thought, it was Lu lu. "There's my favourite idiot!" I tease with a playful wink.
She walks up to me her dark blue eyes narrowed at me, then suddenly she bursts out into a fake laugh holding her flat stomach. "Oh my god that's so funny Emily, I swear you get funnier every time I see you." She she says sarcastically wiping her eyes.
"you ass." I laugh faintly.
Lu Lu has been my best friend for as long as I can remember she knows about all my family problems yet i know she can't do anything but be there for me. Although I have always been very reserved I never share any emotion expect for happy. It was easier that way then I knew who truly wanted to be my friend and not just do it out of pity.
Lu Lu and I waked to school as she told me about this new girl she's been talking with online. I mostly ignored her, she always finds a girl that she really likes then two weeks later, bam she's on to the next one just like that.
"Emily?" She waves her small hand in my face. "Are you even listening to me?"
"Yes, this girl sounds wonderful but I think you should take it slow this time just in case you don't really like her, remember last time you liked someone?"
She shrugs "how are you supposed to find the right "one" if your to scared to look."
I guess she's right I'm to scared to talk to guys because I'm scared they'll get to close and find out about my messed up life and leave me but maybe I should try talking to a guy, maybe.
We walk up to the school in silence until the bell rings, we say goodbye and head separate ways to our locker. I pass by people agresevly making out in the halls I try my best not to look in disgust but trust me it's hard.
I arrive at my locker and I'm surprised to see someone in the locker beside mine, mostly because that locker belongs to one on well it use to there appears to be a new kid. He's kinda good looking he doesn't look like some swagy skateboard kid or your typical bad boy he looks sweet kind and just amazing.
I tap out of my thoughts and notice he's staring at me confused. I give an awkward smile and walk to my locker and grab my books as soon as I'm about to go to first period a soft voice fills my ears.
"Hey, I'm a Alec" the beautiful boy (Alec) holds out his hand for me to shake.
"oh" I say a little to loud in surprise, "I'm Emily nice to um meet you Alec." I shake his firm hand and give a big welcoming smile.
I let go of he's hand and shut my locker. "Very nice meeting you Alec but I have to go, have a nice first day in hell." I start walking to my first class. In my mind all I can think is holy sweet Jesus that boy gave me butterflies.
The rest of the day went by quickly and I really wish it hadn't because that means I have to go home soon. I get to my last class of the day witch just happens to be my favourite class, math. Most people think I'm weird for liking math because well most pretty girls aren't into that suff. Although math is my favourite subject I don't have any friends in it so I normally sit alone in the middle row. I take my usual seat and wait for the bell to ring so class can begin.
I start playing with my nails to look busy till someone plops themselves on the seat beside mine. I look over and make eye contact with bright green eyes, Alec's eyes.
"Hey Emily right, it's Alec, our lockers are right beside each other's?" He grins.
I break the eye contact because I feel like he's can see right through me, I start playing with my finger nails again. "Yeah, yeah I remember your the new kid." I can feel him staring at me I bit my lip. "Looks like were in the same math class." I continue.
"It appears so miss?" He raises a questioning eyebrow.
"Dash" I in-form chuckling a little.
"Emily dash, such beautiful name" he smiles and turns forward and softly whispers "for such a beautiful woman."
Even though he's not facing me I could tell he's grinning and I could feel my face getting hotter every second.
The bell rings to start class and a few kids rush in late.
"Today we have a new student with us if you haven't already meet him this is Alex, no sorry Alec, Alec Kennedy." our teacher miss Brow announces to the class.
Alec gives a little wave to the class then turns to face me and winks. My eyes look everywhere but where he is, then he finally faces forward. I let out a Long sigh then try to focus on what miss brow is teaching.
After class I get to my locker and I'm surprised to see that there's no Alec around, witch is weird because I swear he was behind me. I push my thoughts away and shove my books in my locker. As I'm heading out the school I feel someone grab my hand.
"Did you think you were leaving without me!" I look over my shoulder to see Lu holding my hand. She let's go and walks beside me and we walk home together as usual.
As I walk up my drive way I don't hear any yelling witch means my dad's at work, so it's just me my mom and my brother at home.
