The Girl In The Red Dress

Chapter 1

Waking up in the morning is not an easy task especially if you're waking up to go to school

After what felt like an hour of me sitting and staring at the wall I decided to take a shower, I looked at myself in the mirror

I had bags under my brown eyes and my hair was so messy, I got into the shower and after a few minutes I got out and put on clothes. I made cereal because I didn't want to get hungry during class. After eating I walked out and headed straight my car then drove to school

I've lived alone since I was sixteen and now I'm eighteen, both my parents are hardcore christians so when they found I was gay they said I was the "devil" they had multiple priests pray for me because apparently I had a "demon" inside of me. One day they found me with a girl and I guess that was their 13th reason because they kicked me out of the house and threw all my clothes in the streets and humiliated me in front of the whole neighborhood, parents told their kids not to get near me, so they didn't infact nobody did

After my parents kicked me out, my uncle gave me his penthouse and told me I could live in it free of charge and then for my 17th birthday he bought a car for me

I also have a twin sister she still lives with my parents, we go to the same school, she supported me when I came out but my parents don't know that, we still talk and sometimes she comes over, her name is Avery

Anyway enough about my stupid parents

When I got to school, there was a bunch of teenagers hanging around the hallway

How I hate this place

I walked to my first class and just sat there, the tardy bell hadn't rang yet but I just didn't feel like having interactions with a bunch of sweaty teenagers

I don't really have friends not because I'm lame or weird, I just like being alone and I also don't like drama. I think friendships are waste of time, I've seen a lot of people become sad and shit just cause they lost a friend but I just don't get it so I'd rather stay alone

After a while a tall blonde girl with blue eyes walked in the classroom, I had never seen her here maybe she's new?, I'm a really observant person so she has to be new

"um hi" she said walking towards me "hey... I've never seen you here, you new?" I asked and she nodded "I'm Piper" she extended her hand "Harper" I said shaking her very soft hand and smiled a little bit

"well Piper welcome to this shit hole" she walked around and sat next to me
"it's not that bad you're being dramatic" she rolled her eyes "you'll see" I said and the bell immediately rang

Students started to fill the room and it was no longer peaceful. Mrs Phillips walked in the room, introduced Piper and gave us a shit ton of work to do

After what felt like forever I was walking to my last class which was gym. great

We ran around the field like fucking headless chickens and now I could barely stand up, my feet were killing me

"Alright that's it for today, you guys did a good job" Mr Oliver said

"Does this man wear those shorts everyday" Piper said breathlessly and I looked at Mr Olivers very short shorts

"yep" I said uninterested, I heard her sigh

"what's with you" she turned to look at me "what do you mean"

"I mean you are always quiet, you barely talk to anyone and it seems like you don't have any friends" I just shrugged and started to walk away, I mean she wasn't wrong I just liked to keep to myself "seriously?" she ran after me

"what?" I turned to look at her a little bit annoyed "do you hate me or something" she asked me, why would I hate her u just met her this morning

"Bro I don't even know you why would I hate you"

"I don't know you just seem so annoyed when I talk to you" I started to feel bad "look I'm not annoyed at you I'm just hungry and tired" she nodded "now let's go"

We walked to the parking lot in silence until she broke the silence "you kinda look like that Avery chick" we were now standing in front of her car "yea she's my twin" she looked shocked but not shocked at the same time

"oh that's cool" not really considering I barely see her or talk to her these days, the last time I talked to her she told me she had a boyfriend or sum

"yea but I'm the pretty one right?" I smirked and I saw her cheeks redden a bit "no way she's way prettier than you" I laughed

"yea right, gotta go...see ya" I patted her back and got in my car
