Chapter 1
"SKYLER ELIZABETH BROWN! GET OUT OF YOUR BED, NOW!"
Why does my mother have to be so loud? Why cant she wake me up with a breakfast in bed like they do in the movies? I know why, its because we moved so Texas, thats why. Ever since my mother has started her "once in a lifetime" job oppertunity downtown she has been SUPER stressed and even more controlling than usual. She used to be a really calm, carefree person but once dad died she transformed into this workaolic.
I didnt get a wink of sleep last night. Thats because the movers were here untill 12:30 last night unloading our things! Todays my first day at Middle Town High and frankly, im not looking forward to it. I miss the cute, tanned, beach blonde hotties back in California! WHY DID I HAVE TO LEAVE! I dragged my butt of of the lump of clothes I call my bed and headed to the shower. I stepped in and the familiar smells of my Herbel Essenses shampoo filled the air. I wish i could stand here under the hot jets all day. I quickly snapped out of my daydreams and finished getting ready.
"Skyler, honey you look so cute! Said my mother, "Uniform really suites you and its better than those underwear you call shorts!"
"MOM!" I yell " for the millionth time those were in style!"
"Whatever" she said " Oh my, 8:00? Where has the time gone? I should be already on the road and you should be on your treak to school!"
"OK,Ok," I protest.
I quickly dashed upstairs and grabbed my iphone and my satchel, ran back downstairs, grabbed a pop-tart, kissed my mother goodbye and left the house.

Man, these skirts are really un-comfertable! Who made these anyway? They should really allow pants at this stupid school. As i get closer to the building I began to wonder if these grade 10 teachers will be as stupid as the ones back in California. Like, one was a drug dealer, one was crazy and one was never there! I also hope I make some friends at this school. Back at Rosdale Prep i wasn't what you would call " popular" with my flat brown hair, eyes that laked sparkle, braces and my almost fail grades exept for my almost perfect everage in math, ya, im wierd like that.
I was also nicknamed " Starfish" for my awkwardly long arms and unusual talent to be able to stay 7 minutes and 43.2 seconds underwater. The thing was, I HATED that name and did a silent prayer that no one would ever call me that at this new school or maybe something worse....NO! Skyler, your starting a clean slate this year.
I took a deep breath and started up the steps but not before my phone lets out a " bing". I unlocked my phone and saw that the text was from an unknown number, I read it and gasped.
Did you think you could just get up and leave your mistakes behind?Nice try, Starfish.
