Fate

Pt 1

Sophia
"Sophia come on, we're going to be late"

It was another school day as always after summer break , waking up to the shouting of my brother and the migraine in my brain telling me to go back to sleep. I didn't mind school , I never did. I guess it was the fact that I always wanted to do well. Not for my family though.

for me.

Yes yes I know what your thinking, am I that nerd that sits at the back of the class alone?

well kind of.

I have my best friend ana though, who I love so much and I rlly don't know what I would do without her but here's the thing, I never have a class with her.

So yes I may be the nerd that sits at the back of the class but am I ashamed of it.

No.

oh and there's jay.

Jay batcher.

Well he's him and I'm me. He's like all the other popular guys u read about; goes through girls so fast and then dumps them just as fast. His friends aren't any better though . Jackson and Tyler are his best friends and pretty much encourage him to do it.

Not that he needs any though.

He's always messing around in class or flirting with girls. Me and him have had several interactions but all of them consist of him asking me for the homework or me to move out the way. He doesn't even know my name for gods sake.

How can u go to school with someone for so many years and not know there name?

I know. I guess I've always just been invisible to him but to me that's how I would want to be. Well how I am.

"Sophia , we're going now".

I hear my mum say from outside. My mind suddenly snaps back to reality and I'm sitting on my bed half asleep. Whilst running down the stairs to the door, I grab my bag and a piece of toast from the kitchen counter. As I look next door , I see moving vans with large furniture crowding the inside.

Hmm I guess someone's moving in.

"Mum, I'm here don't worry." I open the car door to see my mum and brother giving me a disgusted look.

" When have we actually been late though?" I croak whilst stuffing my face with the toast. My mum gives me a disapproving look but carries on driving. I've never had any problems with my mum but its clear that she likes my brother better. He's always been the golden child and I've always just been - there. All of a sudden, something hits me hard in the stomach .

"Come on soph, let's go." My brother says, slamming my bag into me.

"Ow", I shout, "a little warning next time." We both head out of the car and into the street which leads on to school.

" Bye mum", we both say in harmony as she waves us off.

As I start walking, someone taps my shoulder. I turn around to see blonde curls which look styled perfectly for school.

"Ana" I shout filled with excitement. I quickly slam my body into hers in a tight hug. "I've missed u so much." My best friend Ana, since primary, has always been there for me, through my ups and downs and for that I will always commend her for.

" I've missed u too soph!" Ana said, her smile covering her face. I always admired anas beautiful blonde hair and her golden clear skin. She really did look like a princess in her own way. She has had a crush on jays best friend Jackson for years. I tell her she's too good for him but in my mind I think it's cute how her cheeks turn rosy as he makes her laugh.

We walk down the road to the gate of the school; taking it in turns to speak about our holidays and different stories. When we get to the gate, I see the different groups of people. And there he is- jay. He's talking with Jackson and Tyler as we walk past them and into school. I swear I felt a glance on my body, making me shiver; but maybe I was wrong. Then again, it was jay, who even knows what he's thinking. I make it into school and I realise I have to survive 3 lessons of jays constant distracting.

ugh. 

And this is why I don't come in on first days after the break.
