I woke up to my alarm, I stopped it and went over to my bathroom. I had a quick shower and brushed my teeth. I put on a pair of black skinny jeans, a grey acid wash tank top and a long, thin, white cardigan. I brush my hair out and leave it down with my side parting. I grab my rucksack and head downstairs. I see that Alex is already down here and Mum is just leaving.
"Bye Alex, bye Evie!" She says
"Bye Mum, love you" We say in synch
He looks at me and slides some toast to me, I thank him and eat it quickly. After I'm done I put my plate and Alex's into the dishwasher. We head into the hall and I put on my nike dunks, which are grey and white. I put my bag on and we grab our skateboards. Alex leads the way to school and we put our skateboards in our lockers.
I close my locker and jump at Jacob who is leaning against the other lockers. He chuckles and says "What lesson do you have?"
I open my bag and get out my timetable.
"Double english" I reply with a moan
"I had a feeling you would, I do too" He says and I smile, grateful I have someone to come with me to hell.
"What teacher?" He asks
"Miss Roberts" I tell him
"Yep, me too" He smiles at me and we head to English. The teacher is really young and has blonde hair and glasses. She introduces herself to me and tells me to sit wherever. Joe and Ashley are sitting next to each other at the back and me and Jacob go and sit on the desk next to them.
"Hey" Joe says and so does Ashley
"Hi" I say a little quietly
"Hey guys" Jacob says leaning forward so he can see them
The Queen bee and her minions walk in. Queen bee walks past our desk and when she gets to me she digs her heel, no wait high heel into my ankle. I wince from the pain as she says to her minions "Bitch". I look up and see her smirking and giggling with her minions. Jacob asks "Whats the matter?" As I rub my ankle. "Nothing" I say, my voice sounding strained.
"That was not nothing! She just caused you pain, on purpose and called you a bitch!" Joe says
"What?!" Jacob says
"Please don't do anything" I say in a small voice as I blush
"Why?!" He asks
"I don't want to cause trouble..." I say shrinking in my seat a little
Luckily Miss Roberts calls our attention and explains the task. I sigh in relief, if I give her no reaction, she'll get bored. We read a chapter of Much Ado About Nothing in class and she gives us a task. We have to annotate a paragraph. I start to read it and the words all jumble up. About a minute later I'm still trying to read it. Miss Roberts comes round and stops and our desk. I look up and she says "You haven't done any work yet Evie" I blush and mumble
"Sorry"
"Care to explain?" She says a little sternly
"Umm, well..." I trail off
"Evie, whats the matter?" She says softer
"Um..." I say, panicking, about half the class is watching me now
"Evie" She says
I put my elbow on the desk and let my hair cover my face as I turn extremely red.
"I have dyslexia" I say very quietly
"Pardon?" She says
"I have dyslexia" I repeat a little louder
"Oh..." She says quietly
