INTO THE TWILIGHT

╣1╠ ONE

Cause I've had everything but no one's listening and that's just fucking lonely. I'm so lonely, lonely.

~J.BIEBER

EVERYWHERE WAS PEACEFULLY silent as I sat on my bed staring at the concrete wall of my room, deep in thoughts. My wild curly brown hair wipe against my face as the air from my open window blew into the room. I put a handful behind my ear, blowing out my cheeks immediately my door was opened.

My mum stood there in my doorway, with both of her hands on her hips and a frown resting on her face. "Really Delia? It's four already, I thought you left."

I sighed and faced her, tucking my legs under me. "I didn't check the time" I replied. "Can I skip today?"

"No! This is for our own good honey, get up, go outside and come back an hour later" my mum ordered. I resisted the urge to roll my eyes and instead rolled off my bed, went to my closet and took my blue hoodie that had a cartoon picture of SpongeBob drawn on it.

"I'll make your favorite if you at least spend thirty minutes outside" mum negotiated and I shrugged. "Make sure to take your phone with you, okay?"

"Of course, I will" I mumbled. Picking my headphones from my desk, I put it around my neck. "I'll be back soon" I said as I went out of my room with my mum behind me.

I carefully stepped on the stairs of my home, my legs softly padded against them. "Careful honey"

"I am, mum." I replied with an eye roll which she didn't see because she was behind me. I finally reached the end of the stairs, holding onto the railing as I reached the floor. The living room was cosy and warm and I couldn't wait to come back home from my daily walk.

"Take care!" My mum called over my shoulder as I opened the door. The cold air hit me right in the face and I pulled my hood over my head. I barely go out, except from taking a thirty minutes walk which I wouldn't really call a walk if I'm out sitting on a bench in a park that's two minutes away from my home and returning home ten minutes later.

I connected my phone to my headphone Bluetooth, went to my playlist and clicked on play, 'face 2 face' by juice wrld started playing. I drowned out the rest of the world as I walked the streets of wickburd. My hands tap continuously against my lap as I mouthed the song to myself, relating to the lyrics.

I paused as I passed by WICKBURD high, Redville, two days from now, I was going to start schooling here. It's really hard to believe it. I've been homeschooled almost all my life, sitting by my window in the evening, watching as group of laughing friends and kids pass by my house while trying to get my assignment done.

Apparently, my mum, dad, doctor and therapist think it'll do me a lot of good to attend a school, they didn't even think of a private one! They chose wickburd public school, Redville in order for me to make lots of friends and memories. Which I think is pretty impossible, no one wants to be friends with a girl with a pale skin, electric blue eyes, a wild hair and a girl that can't walk fast enough, play too much or talk too much. My life is so fucked that I don't even want to be friends with me.

I've tried to talking to people I meet when I go for a walk but they kind of just look at me with an 'ew' face and walk away and that's just enough to drown my confidence. I can't even imagine myself being friends with someone who isn't BENNETT TODD.

Bennet Todd and I have been friends since we were in diapers. Our parents were BFFs before people even used the term BFFs, so we were practically treated as twins. We did our first everything together, excluding each other's first kiss and virginity.

Bennet is a well known student of Wickburd, typical quarterback, blond hair, gray eyes, full lips and a one side dimple. Bennet is like a magnet that attract girls and he doesn't miss a chance with getting in-between their legs. Bennet has attended at least thirty parties since he glowed up in ninth grade and he's known to be bad tempered.
