The abused Queen

Chapter 03; New School

Elena's POV
I woke up early, before dad who gets up at 5 AM, and started cooking breakfast and making coffee for everyone. Dad didn't have much in the fridge or pantry, so I made simple egg sandwiches and made a mental note to go grocery shopping after school.

Dad came down in his police uniform just as I finished making his and my plates "Morning Dad" he looked startled to see me and hesitatingly said "Good morning...why are you up so early?" I shrugged and said "It's a new school. I wanted to get a head start" he nods accepting my answer "Okay..." he then sits down and starts eating the food that I set in front of him.

I eat my portion then put my dishes in the sink before going upstairs to get ready. I start by showering with my pear body wash and ylang ylang shampoo.

I had changed it from citrus and jasmine in hopes of it somehow keeping what had happened from happening again. It may seem stupid, but I thought that if I smelled different then I wouldn't attract someone like that again. I also change my style from bright, preppy clothes to darker and more tomboyish ones. Again it's silly, but a part of me thinks that I did something to lead him on....

After my shower I brushed my teeth and got dressed in my room. Once I was ready I headed out to my truck and drove to school.

I arrived early and went to the front office, and got my schedule and sign in sheet. I received the look from the secretary and quickly exited back to my truck where I hid until the bell rang. Since I arrived early I had plenty of time to memorize my schedule.

1st- English Literature: Mrs. Thompson
2nd- Geometry: Mr. Smith
3rd- French: Ms. Davis
4th- History: Mr. Grant
5th- Gym: Coach Clapp
Lunch
6th- Chemistry: Mrs. Ward

I'm interrupted, however, by a loud, metallic belching sound and turn my head to see Bella parking in the last empty spot with a mortified look on her face. All eyes are on her as she climbs out of her truck and steps into a puddle, soaking her sneakers. I frown and wonder 'Why didn't she just step around it?'

I shrug it off and climb out about to walk in as Bella slinks toward school, before taking notice of me and storming over. She abruptly grabs me and yanks me back causing me to instinctively push her away. Not hard enough to make her fall, but enough to make her stumble backwards.

"What is you problem?" I ask quietly annoyed making her huff and demand "Where's my schedule?" I give her a confused look and point to the front office "It's in the front office waiting for you...?" Bella's face turned beat red and she childishly stomped her foot before yelling "Are you fucking kidding me?!" Bella outburst drew attention from other students who decided to watch the drama unfold.

I quickly try to walk away only to be yanked back by Bella who maintained a tight grip as she went off on me "You know I've been going through a hard time right now, and you couldn't just do this one thing for me?! You are so selfish, vain, and narcissistic-!" I cut her off by yanking my arm out of her grasp.

"First of all, you're the one who always preaches about your own independence and go on and on about how grown up you are. Second you're going through a rough time? Don't make me laugh! And third even if I wanted to the front office won't let anyone but Bella Swan pick up her own schedule!" I retorted before whirling around and storming inside.

I make my way through kids who openly stare at me with a few brave ones say hi. They aren't exactly quiet so I can hear them all talking about me.

This is my personal hell.

I wander the walkways looking for room numbers, lost. The constant stares at me, don't help and make my anxiety worse. I can feel myself slowly panicking, but before I could become too far gone a smiling boy approaches me.
