September 1st, 8:00 a.m.

I'm currently laying down in my bed, imagining all the reasons as to why I'm late. Stupid clock. Stupid me. Apparently I set the clock to an entirely different time last night. I groan, managing to get up from my bed, pulling on some sweatpants and a hot pink shirt. I immediately run down the stairs and out the door, I took a few mints so hopefully people won't notice my lack of hygiene today. I'm currently jogging down the road, should I skip today? I ponder as I freeze on the sidewalk. Not like my parents would notice.

9:00 a.m.

I watch as the kids giggle and snicker to themselves.  How childish for high schoolers, I roll my eyes and set down my bag.  "2nd time late, what's the excuse?" Mr. Holden exclaims.  I bounce my leg up and down, keeping to myself, can't bring myself to talk.  I feel like I'm gonna cry so I just blink my tears away.  I watch as the eyes retort away from me and a newer presence enters the classroom, Justin.  My hand shakes a little, the amount of hatred I have for him can't be described.  He sits down right next to me, great! Shall I give a recap?

July 4 9:00 p.m.

Me and my friend Harper sit around the campfire with a few others, while some launch fireworks around recklessly. "How about we play say truth or dare? To spice some stuff up?" One of the girls across from me says, her arms wrapped around Justin. "How about you go first Justin" she smiles. "Truth or dare?"

"I choose dare" he responds. "hmmm, I dare you to make out with me right here." The crowd around us exclaims hooting and whatsoever, he actually does it. No way, didn't surprise me one bit, that man whore. He finishes off with a smirk, settling back down. I watch his eyes travel to me, I nervously gulp hard, please no. "Truth or dare, Aubrey?"

I bit my lip, hard. "Oh, I choose truth." I mumble, afraid for what was next. "Is it true you slept with our teacher Mr. Holden right before his wedding day?" What the fuck..how did he find out? This really put me on the spot, I could feel myself shaking slightly. It really wasn't what happened, nobody knows, I panic in my head knowing if I told the truth it could be worse. "Y-yes.." People gasp and glare at me, I even feel my friend, Harper scoot away from me. "What is wrong with her?" "That's so weird?" "Ew, I would never ever" Justin smirks while the people throw words at me before I can brace myself. Jesus Christ. I wish it ended there, the next day my window had been bashed in with my car written the words on "WHORE" capitalized.
