Girl in the Mirror

Chapter 1: The begining

Monday May 2nd, 11:30 pm-

I can't fall asleep in this new house. It just doesn't feel right. Not being in my old room, with soft blue walls and the smell of cotton all around the room. The huge white window right next to my bookshelves. If I could I would run right back home. But I'm stuck in North Carolina with Mom and Jackson. Why did my parents have to get a divorce? To make life harder for me? My whole life was surrounded by them screwing at each other, driving me and Jackson insane. They couldn't take and so couldn't I. So I guess I'm glad the war is over. It just seems different. Dad's all the way in Colorado so I can't see him. I guess I can try making the best out of this. It's already 11:30pm and I'm still awake watching the thunder. It put me to ease. Finally I'm calming down. All I keep thinking about is Mason my boyfriend. We promised we would stay together even with him in Colorado and me here. He's probably with some other girl. I'm coming back to Colorado this summer with Jackson. I just can't wait any longer. Tomorrow is the first day of school here. I don't know anybody. I'm going to be that loser that know body notices. Just great. I got to get some rest, at least try to.

Monday March 3rd, 6:00 AM-
I was woken up to the screeching noise from my alarm. " Shut the hell up!!" I screamed. I didn't realize Jackson was standing in the door way. "Screaming at objects huh" he said in his morning tired voice. I just glared at him and he kept down the hall. I almost forgot it was the first day of school. I have to shower, do my hair, pick out my outfit, makeup, ugh I got to hurry!! I went into the shower. My eyes stringed at the water splashed like pebbles in my face. Even the water here sucks. When I got out I smelled fresh pancakes that Mom was making downstairs. " Em, Em, breakfast! Don't wanna be late for your first day". I groaned at came down stairs. "Exited to meet some friends today?" She said trying to cheer me up. "No, I'm going to be all alone" I said trying to stay calm. She let out, "Oh you'll be fine!! Hurry up and eat Jacksons going to drive you to school soon". Just then Jackson came down. He actually brushed his hair today. " hurry up Em I got to get to work". I was trying hard to avoid school. But I couldn't, so I got my stuff and left, not knowing what was about to hit me.
