The Unwanted Life (lollipopsam)

The first day

I woke up to the sound of my phone ringing. 5:02 am. who would call at 5:02 in the morning? I looked at the caller ID. it said "baby" with a couple cute heart emojis. I knew what that meant. it was kj. even though we broke up back in 7th grade, I still haven't changed his contact name. what would he be calling for at 5 in the morning? I answer. "good morning sunshine!!" I hear on the other end. "you woke me up,bozo. what do you want?" I ask annoyed. "look out your window beautiful!" I look out the window. "nothing's there" I say even more irritated. "exactly. that's how much I love you!" none. I think. he woke me up to tell me how much he hates me. alright.. I can't help but cry a little bit. whatever. I was already up so I couldn't go back to sleep. I had forgotten to take a shower the night before so I hoped in and felt the warm water run down my face. I started wearing my hair natural so I wash it and hop out and use my cantu curl defining cream. I twist my hair up and put a towel over it. I get dressed, brush my teeth put in my contacts and apply my mascara, eyeliner, and lipstick. I decided to go with a bright red for my lips. after all, this was my first day of junior year. I blasted Total Eclipse of the Heart until my mother drove me to the bus stop. I hate buses and I have ever since I first had to ride one in kindergarten. I get on the bus and see my friend Gabrielle. we talk, gossip about her friends, my friends, everything else. on the way to the school I looked out of my window and saw my best friend Samantha walking on the street. to school maybe? I decided to ignore it. I'll ask her when we get there, I kept thinking. I took out my phone and saw that I had 4 notifications. one from Katie. it said "I'll see you at school!" one from a stranger that I decide to delete. one from kj, apologizing. and one from my mom. "you forgot your lunch money." crap. I reach in my purse and pull out my wallet. my money isn't there. I did forget it. we pulled up to the school and hopped off the bus. I ran to home room which I had found yesterday at open house. my hair was still in twists. I had about 10 minutes until class started so I went to the locker that was assigned to me and hung up my mirror and decorated a little bit. I took out my twists in the mirror and saw all my kinky curls. my hair has grown. a lot. it's almost waist length now. that's a big step since it was only about an inch past my shoulders last year. the curls don't look natural though, so I run a wide tooth comb through them a few times to give it volume. I put a little bit of gel in it and was off to home room. math. I located it quickly since I've been going to this school for a while. I sit down with Katie and she starts blabbing on and on about something,i couldn't quite hear her over everyone yelling. not far behind me is kj. he comes into class and sits with us. "nice to see you guys being friends." he's right. me and Katie didn't become friends until freshman year when we decided to settle our differences. "shut up kj I should have left you long ago." I say jokingly. I only said it because he's really mean to me and it's almost like e doesn't want me to be alive. but I'm still friends with him because I'm a different person. we see Samantha walk in out of breath and kinda sweaty. she looks gorgeous. her eyes lined up more, her teeth are more straight from the braces that she just got off last summer and her hair is blue. light blue at the top and darker blue at the bottom. it fades like an ombré. it's curly. sams hair is never curly. she said it doesn't stay but I can see all the hairspray she put in it to keep it that way. Katie leans over to me and says, "lets mess with her." "okay" I say back. Sam walks right over to us and says "can I sit with you guys?" Katie immediately says "sorry Sam but you just aren't pretty enough." my mouth drops wide open. "Alivia and I got prettier over the summer and you just, didn't." at this point I can see kj staring at Katie. she's an Aries. mean. cruel. I felt lucky that she hated so many people and I wasn't one of them anymore. Katie starts flirting with Kofi and I give Sam a look of sympathy. I don't think she saw it. she walked over to Michael and starts talking to him. she points at an empty chair next to him, he says something, and she walks away. she went and sat in a corner. kj starts talking to me about some new girl he's dating and how great she is. I would usually be jealous but today I'm just zoned in on Sam. mr. Hampton walked in followed by a tall boy. looks about our age, kinda cute. I see sams face light up when me Hampton brings this thing over to Sam. I see him laugh and then stop. then she laughed, and stopped. "ARE YOU EVEN LISTENING TO ME?" I hear kj say. "I said...
