one (Something New)
Chapter 1
Emma
My name is Emma.... I have pale white skin, crystal blue orbs and blonde messy hair that is very curly. Today is the first day of my new high school in MoonFall High School. I was awakened by my Stepmother Cathrina ... She has looked after me after the death of my father. She was my legal guardian at first. She was nice when my father was alive, but after the accident... She changed. She would beat me and force me to clean the house, I was not allowed to go to cheer practice anymore. I was not the cheer team captain anymore, It was my mothers dream. I was then not allowed to go out, or go to school. Causing me to lose all my friends. Then we went into debt and we had to leave Waterville.
"EMMA!" screamed Cathrina. "You fucking Whore. You're just like your stupid mother." Cathrina screamed angrily. "Go make my fucking breakfast you little bitch, and you better not come home tonight, Mike is coming over tonight and he doesn't know about you, and you would probably try to seduce him you cunt. Hurry up and leave" Cathrina Screamed, "we don't want Cps coming again do we" Cathrina remarked snobbishly, crossing her hands as she spoke.
I quickly made her breakfast then ran out of the house and slammed the door. I ran down the steps, tears filled my eyes as I let out a quiet sob. Every fucking morning. Every single fucking morning i have to be tortured by my stepmother, not only her. But mike too. My bitch of a step mother doesn't know that Mike found out about me a long time ago, but that's a story for another time.
I started walking to school. How could she be so cruel? I thought. I wiped the tears out of my eyes and pushed my glasses up as I continued to walk downtown to my new school. There were people everywhere, and it looked very overwhelming. I spotted a small cafe which I took note of, maybe I could study there sometime.
As I neared the school, I could really see how large it was in person. I stood and stared at the 4 story building in awe, then read the sign right above the main doors labeled: MoonFall High. What a strange name for a school, since school is during the day, when the sun is up.
As I was gazing at the school, I felt someone crash into my side. I barely had any time to process before I realized I was tumbling rapidly onto the concrete.
"AH-" I yelped, as I tried to catch myself before I broke my skull open. I hit the ground and scraped my hands on the concrete, ouch. "Hey! What was that for, you jerk!" I screamed. I moved my messy blonde hair out of my face and turned my head around to see a tall emo man, who had fierce green eyes and slicked back hair. Atleast, that's what it looked like to me. As I was falling, my glasses fell right off of my head and onto somewhere on the sidewalk.
"Watch where you're going next time, newbie." The man scoffed, "and learn how to stay out of the way too." he said, glaring at me for a second before turning around on his heels and heading for the entrance.
If I wasn't crying before, I sure do want to now. What a shitty way to start the school year. I sniffled before realizing I was still in the middle of the sidewalk. I looked around at everyone, the stares of pity and annoyance was something I still wasn't used to.
Before I could make my way up, an outstretched hand appeared in front of me.
"Hey, Are you new?" the person above me asked in a kind voice.
She was a smaller girl, maybe 5'1 or 5'2, and her hair was done up with two smaller pigtails, followed by some shiny black hair. Her face was adorned with all types of pretty sparkles, from her nose to her eyes, and she had dark chocolate brown eyes.
"Uhm.. yes.. I'm new, my name is Emma.." I said sheepishly as she helped me up. She hands me my glasses with a smile. "Ah.. much better." I blinked after I put them back on, vision adjusting back to reality. "Thank you, uh.."
"Kiko," she replied.
"Ah, thank you Kiko! What a pretty name, I wish my name was as beautiful as yours." I said.
She giggled. "Oh you're too kind, Emma. Here, let's go into the school and I can show you around!" she said back to me, as she was walking to the front of the school, not waiting for my reply. Maybe this won't be so bad after all, I thought with a smile, as I ran to catch up with her.
We entered the school and started walking down the halls, I looked around at everything around me. I was figuring out who to avoid, and who to possibly approach,
"This is the gym, and this is my English class...." Kiko rambled on, as I was too distracted judging everybody around me.
We walked past the nerdy kids, they were playing Dungeons and Dragons in a random room, it was still early in the morning.
When we went towards the upstairs, I saw a group of sassy girls in the distance, flipping their hair and smacking their lips, eating hot chips.
"Oh-" Kiko said, with a grimace, "That's Heather and her pack of wolves. They're terrible leeches, stay away from them. They like to mess with the new kids."
"Huh. Ok..." I replied.
As we explored the rest of the school, I couldn't help but think about that boy that pushed me onto the ground earlier. There was something about him, he was attractive, even though he hurt me, I admit he was hot.
W-what am I thinking? He's an emo jerk, I don't like him at all! I thought to myself, trying to hide my true emotions.
I brushed him off my mind and headed to my first class, which was english.
Ughhhhhh this is sooooooo boring. I thought to myself. I survived through the torture, and next I had science.
"Everyone, we have a new student!" Ms. Williams announced. "This is Emma, she'll be joining our class from now on. Go on Emma, introduce yourself."
"Okay, I have to do this right, I need to give a good image of myself to the class."
"Hey, I'm Emma, I used to live in Waterville, we just moved here a little while ago. I do gymnastics, and cheer."
"Hi Emma... " The class said tiredly.
"Alright Emma, we need a place for you to sit- oh there's a free seat next to Jake!
She pointed towards that same boy, the boy that pushed me earlier.
I felt myself quiver, it was an intense emotion I couldn't describe. Jake? My partner? I didn't know how to feel. He probably hates me, but I longed for him.
