Restrained

Ivy

My alarm goes off and I turn it off. I stay in bed until my brother's alarm goes off because I don't want to get up just yet. I don't want to have to face the day full of crazy rich girls at school just yet.

When his alarm finally goes off I wait until he makes his way into the bathroom to get up and get dressed. When he gets out I get in and start to get ready for the day. I use the bathroom, brush out the tangles from my brown wavy hair. I stare at it in the busted mirror on the wall. There's some blond in it at the ends but it kind of faded away over time. Taking out the little make-up I have, I start to put some on. I don't wear much, just enough to make me feel pretty. It's not like I have much anyway, because we are barely getting by with money as it is. As I'm putting it on, My mind wanders off to Leo. Yesterday was a day off, so we didn't go to school. Today is Tuesday and I can't wait to see him! I throw all my make-up back into the box and back into my bathroom cabinet. I try not to look too poor if you get what I mean. Money is scarce for us. The door is about to fall off, but what can I say? Only the rich families have the nice stuff, while the poor people are stuck with almost nothing. I have a job, but they don't pay me much because we're not a wealthy family so they think I'm not capable of things.

I open the door and walk into the kitchen to grab some breakfast. I eat a piece of bread and I go back into the bathroom to brush my teeth. We're about to run out of toothpaste, but I think I can make it until next week. I take one more final check in the mirror to see if anything is messed up. After I feel satisfied with the way I look I go pack my bags for school and throw on my shoes. My mom tells us to head to the car, so I open the door and head out. Once we all get in we drive to my little sister's school first. Next we go to my little brother's school, and finally me and my older brother get dropped off at the high school.

My mom tells me not to get into any trouble as I get out. I roll my eyes and say ok. She tells me this every morning, and every time she opens her mouth I already know what she's going to say. She says this because I get into trouble at school. It's a dirty school where the poor people go. There are some rich people at the school, but we get separated for the most part. We're usually separated into different sides of the school. I'm on the dirty side of the school while the rich kids get to be one the new side they built last year. My mom is always telling me to stay out of trouble and to lay low. I got into trouble last year and things went a bit out of hand. I sent this girl to the hospital. She started talking bad about me and my family, so of course I snapped.

It's only 8:50, and I don't think he's here yet. So I stand by the group I usually stand by, I don't talk though. I just stand there, because there are these two girls that stand there and they don't like me very much. Scratch that, they don't like me at all. I don't like her either. Last year she got under my boyfriend's skin and tried to turn him against me. I got so pissed off that I might have "accidentally" started a rumor that she was pregnant and that she had STDs. I meant don't get me wrong. I thought it was true from the way she throws herself at every single guy that will accept her, damaged and all. While she had a boyfriend herself. Now? No guy wants her because everyone knows that she's just a no good hoe, but her daddy is rich. As if that gives her any leeway.

Anyway, this "rumor" got back to her and she got so upset that she thought she could affect me by starting a couple rumors about me herself. She started a rumor that I got caught sucking dick in a bathroom. I thought it was pretty funny because she was probably talking about herself. I thought it was funny how she started to scramble to try to save her worthless reputation. With my good reputation, nobody believed her, but everyone believed my rumor because of her trashy rep. Then she tried to take it up a notch and started yet another rumor, telling everyone that I sucked a teacher's dick. Honestly, at this point I was laughing. Still nobody believed her and her pathetic little rumors about me. I didn't need to start another rumor about her because, at this point, she was trying to throw all her bad rep on me, but if I had let this go on anymore she probably would have tried to steal my identity. She throws her dad's money around as if she owns the place. Everyone is starting to think she does so far.
