"Skylar Jade Martinez, get your butt down here this minute!" My mother calls from downstairs. I groan and slam my phone down beside me. I sit up and slowly make my way downstairs. I know I'm in big trouble seeing as how mother only calls me by my full name when I am.

As I reach the bottom of the stairs I notice my mother standing at the front door, her arms folding across her chest and well, she looked pissed to say at the least. Standing on the other side of the door was a tall, well built man in a blue uniform. "This should be fun" I mumbled to no one in particular as I reached my mother.

"You have a lot of explaining to do, missy!" My mother grumbled. I knew exactly what this was going to be about "She provoked me an-" the officer interrupted me and one thing's for sure, I hate being interrupted. "Miss Brooke's told me you attacked her as she and her friends were walking home, leaving her with a broken nose young lady!" He glared at me. "Bullshit! I can't believe you would believe that snob! She attacked me so that's when I punched her, the bitch deserved it might I add. Can't you cops take both sides of the story?! Maybe then you'd realise that my side is more belivable! But I guess not, cops can't do anything right!" I blurted back.

My mother had a look of complete disgust. "Skylar! Get upstairs, now!" She bellowed. I rolled my eyes and groaned as I turned around to do as I was told. I sit at the top of the stairs as my mother and the police officer continue to speak and eventually, he left.

My mother slams the front door shut and glares straight at me. I glare right back. I honestly couldn't care less about what I did and I watched as she ended the staring contest and shuffled into the kitchen.

I stand up and follow her, she's standing with her back to me, one hand on her hip and the other stirring something on the stove.

"Why? Why, did you feel the need to punch her in the face and break her nose?" She sounded calm and collected. "She mentioned dad." Was all I said as I stood up to leave. As I was walking all I heard was my mother mumble "poor girl" referring to bitch whose nose I broke. Poor girl? Poor girl? If only she understood. Its all her fault he's gone.

I mean, it wasn't my fault that Joanie Brookes and her group of skanks came over to me and wanted to pick a fight. At first it was just trying to get me to fight Joanie which, like always, I ignore, until Joanie mentioned my father. Now that, that was too far for me. I spun and punched the bitch in the jaw then smack bang in the nose. She screamed bloody murder holding her nose smeared in blood, already starting to bruise. I couldn't help but laugh to myself as I ran home.

Now, you're probably wondering why I lashed out when Joanie mentioned my father. The reason is simple, my father died when I was 8, though, I really think he did it himself. Him and I were close, I mean real close. We did everything together and even though it's been 9 years since he died, I still struggle with it. I'm not going into complete detail though, maybe another time.

So as you already now, my name is Skylar. Skylar Jade Martinez, I'm 17 and live with mum. I have thick jet black hair and I guess a good body. It's just the two of us, my mum and I. Even we have our moments, but I can't imagine a world without my mother.

The outskirts of the city are surrounded by thick pine forests and I love spending hours just staring out into the thick dense trees. The only thing I hate about living here is the school, the teachers suck, the food's shit, and I get picked on just a little by Joanie and her shithead 'friends'. But, an upside to that is I only a few months left and I can graduate!

Of course I do have friends, Caitlyn, Megan, Louise and Nelly. We aren't as you would say 'nerds' but we're not popular either, we're.. Average, I suppose.

*~*~*~*

The next day at school started as per normal. I woke up and left home at 8 and sat outside waiting for the bus. 10 minutes later, I saw it turning the corner.

When I finally hear the bell for my second class I left the room quickly and walked towards the cafeteria. I got my food, which consisted of chocolate milk and a terrible tasting bagel. I looked around and found my friends sitting at a table.

I sit down and join in on the conversation. "Mrs Higgins is such an old bag! She doesn't understand half the stuff she's talking about and can't spell. Stupid old woman." Complained Louise. "Louise, she's only 28." I laugh and so does everyone else. As I was about to take a sip of my chocolate milk, Joanie and the rest of her group walk past and 'accidentally' trip, spilling her stupid salad all over me.

"You bitch!" I yelled at her. "Oops, sorry," she said sarcastically. I ignore her last comment and sit back down. "Pathetic, just like your Daddy must've been, he probably only killed himself because he was embarrassed of his failure of a daughter!" That was it! I am sick of this girl.

"You know, Joanie, sometimes you should keep your slutty little mouth shut." With saying that, I grab her by her singlet and knee her in the forehead, followed by continuous elbows to the back of her head. She falls to the ground, clutching onto her back. "I thought you would've stopped when I broke your nose, but you're obviously too stupid to even get that." I pick her up by the hair and smash her face into the corner of the metal tables, then twisting her ankle, snapping it like a twig.

Just as I was about to throw another punch, my friends pull me back and it all went downhill from there. I got suspended for the rest of the week, 4 days. And well, my mum was furious.

As we pulled up into my driveway and walked to the front door, my mum grabbed me by my arm and threw me inside. "I can't believe you, Skylar!" She screams at the top of her lungs. I couldn't do anything but stand there with my head down.

"I am ashamed to have you as my daughter! Sometimes I wish you would just fuck off out my life!" She slapped me clean across the face. I broke down in tears, clutching my cheek in pain.

"Skylar, I'm sorry, I didn't mea-" she began to apologise but I cut her off. "No! Don't you dare even try to apologise!" I yell at her, running off into my room. She tried to grasp my arm but I shook her off. I jump onto my bed and cry my heart out. I fell asleep and didn't wake until the next morning.
