Scarlet's POV
"Scarlet you get your lazy ass out of bed right this minute youre going to be late" Liz yelled upstairs. I stormed downstairs, "im fucking up" I replied. "Don't you take that attitude with me young lady" she answered crossing her arms. I shoved past her "oh dad call your dog off will you" I snapped. "But etta is with me" my dad yelled, "I didn't mean etta I meant the two legged one you married" I answered. "Erm tommy are you going to let her speak to me like that?" liz snapped. I'll sort it came the reply as my dad rounded the corner and wrapped his arm round her, Liz flounced off. "Youre not wearing that dress to school get upstairs and change" he told me.
"Like you care" I answered, he smiled and walked back into the kitchen. I picked up my bag and headed out the front door calling goodbye to my dad. "Arent you forgetting someone?" he asked, "oh yeah bye etta" I answered slamming the door behind me. Back to me, my name is scarlet ratliff my dad is tommy joe Ratliff the guitarist for September mourning. Im 15 years old and have just moved to LA from new York. Today is my first day at a new school, Im going to rosewood high at the start of my 4th year.
I was the most popular girl at my old school and I don't intend on letting anything change at this one. So far I don't have any friends here, I left them at my old school as well as my boyfriend dante. I have pink hair, my style is gothic vampire with thick black makeup and heeled boots.
My dad is married to Liz, unfortunately she's also my mother. She didn't want me when she found out she was pregnant, my dad was the one who told her not to get rid. Shes a total bitch, I hate her more than anyone ever. She hates me just as much, I was a mistake. Im a total daddys girl, I can get everything I want by just asking for it. Designer bags and shoes, top of the range gadgets and expensive jewellery.
I had my Chanel dress on with my Prada boots and handbag. I took my makeup style from my dad, thick eyeliner and dark eyeshadow. I walked through the iron gates of my new school, it was a private one that will probably cost my dad loads every year. My so called mother picked this school, my dad didn't give a shit about school. Her on the other hand insisted I had to go to school, I pushed the door open and strode in.
I saw a girl with flame red hair in a big group as they all looked my way. She was dressed in black jeans, a vest too with a leather jacket and heeled boots with studs on. She had 3 piercings, 2 at the bottom of each ear and one at the top of the right one. The top piercing was joined to the second one by a gold chain.
She turned and started walking towards me, her group formed a perfect arrow with her spearheading it. l watched as they all circled me, "fuck" I muttered as she stepped in front of me. "New?" She asked, damn this bitch thinks she's something. "Yeah so?" I replied crossing my arms and staring her down. I'm used to stuck up little daddy's girls, hell I am one.
"Let's just get this straight new girl I'm in charge here and what I say goes got it" she said. this chick has some serious attitude, no way am I backing down from this. "Not for long sunshine one day someone is going to come along and steal your spotlight" I said. That girl would be me, I went to walk past her but she stopped me.
"Bitch please if you want a fight you've got it. This is a small school you better watch your back. No one comes here and talks shit to me, especially some slut with a big mouth" she said as she pushed me aside and strutted up the hall. I shook my head that she even dared to speak to me like that who does she think she is?
My lessons were pretty fucking boring, music was the best one. The end of school drew round as I hoped my dad was picking me up, he said he would take me to get my new jeans after school.
"Skank alert" a voice said as I left school, what the actual fuck? I shot them a glare as they just laughed in my face. I watched as the dogs car pulled up, what the fuck why is that bitch here? She climbed out of the car in her tightest pants and heels, she looked like a slut.
"Get in the car scarlet I have lipo in half hour and your dad wants you home. But as per he's to busy sitting on his arse playing his tacky guitar so I'm stuck picking you up" she said. I hated the way she talked about my dad, she had no reason to pick me up I can walk home. "Yeah run along scarlet daddy wants his lickle baby home and your hippo needs to gets her ass to lipo" the dark haired one replied. I found the fact she called her a hippo highly amusing but I couldn't let her know that.
"What makes you think im coming home with you? You don't have to pick me up, you didn't even want me for fuck sake why are you even here" i snapped. "Don't even give me that shit get your fucking ass in the car right now" liz replied shoving me in the back and slamming the door.
"I suppose you think your funny giving me mouth you stuck up little brat" liz hissed. "How about you fuck off" I replied. "Watch your language I'm still your mother have some respect" she replied. I laughed "my mother really? What kind of mother doesn't even want her own kid" I retorted. "Yeah well I'm stick with you now aren't I thanks to precious daddy" she snapped.
"Whatever" I replied as we pulled into the drive. I climbed out slamming the door behind me. My dad appeared at the bottom of the stairs as liz burst in, "babe sort your kid out" she said pointing to me. "What's happened this time?" He asked. "Little miss I'm tough mouthing off as per usual calling me every name under the sun sort the little brat out yeah" liz said.
"That's bullshit and you know it!" I yelled. "Scarlet enough, apologise" my dad said, "how about no!" I shouted. "Then get to your room!" he shouted back. "Fine you side with the troll see if I give a fuck" I shouted back storming up the stairs and slamming my bedroom door shut. How can he side with her, hes lost his mind well screw them.
