Dead.
That's how I feel on the inside as I walk into these gates of literal hell. Everything feels like it's slow motion as I walk just as "Dying on the inside" by Nessa Barrett blasts through my airpods.
I don't know how much longer I can go.
I feel the hand of Ciara grab my shoulder and shake me back into reality.
"What?" I ask, taking one of my airpods out.
"I said, are you okay?" She asks, looking concerned.
"I'm fine" I say, emotionlessly.
She knows how much I hate this question.
"WHERE YOU BEEN AMARA?! IT'S LIKE YOU WENT MISSING" Jackson, one of the many dickheads in my grade, shouts out to us, laughing with his stupid friends.
Yeah, Ci and I haven't exactly been to school in months.
"FOUND YOUR MUM YET JACKSON?!" Ciara shouts back, immediately shutting Jackson and his goons up.
"Little harsh" I mumble.
Everyone knows Jackson's mum has been missing for months now.
"It's called karma little sis" Ci tells me as she wraps an arm around my shoulder.
"Okay guys, let's go, I gotta sign yous back in" Aaliyah, our eldest sister, tells us while grabbing our shoulders, guiding us to the front office.
"I hate this place" I mumble.
"We know" both sisters say, rolling their eyes.
"Hi miss" Aaliyah greets the front office lady.
I tune everything out and take that as my cue to sit down as Ciara goes to stand with Aaliyah.
I hate this, I hate this, I hate this. I wanna go home.
My thoughts are interrupted when Malcolm and Kai, our cousins, walks in with their dad.
Uncle and Kai comes to give me a kiss on my forehead and slight hug, then joins my sisters conversation with the office lady.
"You're right on time" Liyah smiles, hugging him too, Ci hugging Kai.
"Hey mara" Malcolm greets me.
"Sup Malc" I greet him, doing the handshake we made up when we where 7.
"You good?" He asks.
"Uhhhh..." I trail off.
"You'll be good soon. We got you." He says, taking my hand in his, giving me a soft smile.
After my parents funeral, Uncle Tui made the decision to move back down to Auckland with his family to help ours. Didn't help that Donni's in jail now but he tried his best with us girls. It was already, kind of, easy for Aaliyah since she's 23 and had already moved out, but she decided to move back in with us after the news of our parents. Uncle Tui then decided to move us girls in with him and his family. Him and his wife, Kalasia, have 3 kids, the eldest being Isileli, then Kai, the youngest is Malcolm or Malc for short.
Malcolm is one of my favourite cousins. He's helped me a lot mentally. He's the only one who knows what went down at Malakai's house that night and the only one who knows that I witnessed Donni's accident. She's the one I can vent to about my problems. Luckily, him and Kai didn't leave school like Ci and I did, so they've been enrolled in school since they got here.
"Mara" Malc shakes me out of my thoughts.
"Huh?" I ask, confused with what's going on.
"Principles office, let's go" Kai says softly, pulling me out of the chair.
We follow them into the principles office, Uncle Tui and Liyah taking a seat while Ci, Kai, Malc and I stand behind them.
"Now, it has come to my understanding that Ciara and Amara Carter have missed a couple months of school, about four to be exact, is that correct?" Principle Adams asks us.
"Yes um, there was an unexpected turn of events which pretty much damaged their mental wellbeing" Uncle Tui answers him.
"Yes um, I heard about your parents girls and um, I just want to send your family my condolences" Ms. Adams tells us, giving us a sympathetic smile before continuing, "Now, it's very good that both Ciara and Amara were straight A students before the .. accident .. um, because that now means that they can still continue from where they left off, now, all you two need to is catch up in all your subjects, which I assume both Kai and Malcolm can help you with, correct?"
"Yeah, I mean, we've both already started revising what they know and catching them up" Kai answers her.
"Very well, you're schedules have been changed, as requested by your uncle and sister, so Amara, you'll have the same classes with your cousin Malcolm, and Ciara, you'll have the same classes with Kai, here are your schedules, you may go to homeroom." Ms. Adams tells us, handing us our printed schedules.
Here we go.
Malc grabs my arm, leading me out of the office.
"Thanks miss" I offer her a small smile as I leave.
I may hate this place but Ms. Adams will always be my favourite teacher. Even when we weren't here, she was the only teacher who e-mailed and called us to check up, and I will forever be grateful for her.
"Okay, update me M" I say as we walk out.
"Okay, so, lucky for you, we still have homeroom with Angel. First period is history, we have that with um ... that dickhead, then we have a mixed math class with Ci and Kai's class, I'll explain later, at lunch Kai and I have been sitting with Angel, Ana, Nikau, Caleb, Aiden and Aleki, it's actually a pretty chill group, um then we have third period which is art, chill class, Miss Lily doesn't really care what we do, fourth is Spanish, again, pretty chill plus Miss Diaz like, absolutely loves you, and then lunch then our last period is P.E., don't worry, we're doing theory today so you don't need your P.E. uniform. And yeah, oh and by the way we just got two new guys like a month after us being here, they moved from London, I know because the youngest one is in literally all our classes and he has an accent" Malc lists as we wonder the halls.
"We're gonna go to homeroom, you two take care and don't do anything dumb okay? We love you" Kai tells us as both him and Ci gives us hugs and a kiss on our foreheads.
"Let me know if anyone gives you shit okay?" Ci whispers to me.
I give her a curt nod and soft smile as a reply. Grace and I make our way to homeroom as Ci and Kai split up from us.
Malc and I find our home room class and take breather before going in.
Please make this day bearable for me.
