-Zaid gonzales.

Its been four days since my dear old principal expelled me from that hellhole. Its friday today , lia and i moved into our new house on tuesday, which was exhausting. Lia had five fucking boxes full of books.

Although we did have memories in our old one, it wasn't any good ones. I figured a new clean slate would be best for lia , since she wouldn't have to live through our parents past they left at the house.

When lia and i drove home from our old school monday afternoon, we decided to look into houses and new schools . We found the perfect house , it was bigger than our last one , it was a four bedroom house with three bathrooms , a swimming pool and a gym room for myself and small library for lia. Lia instantly fell inlove with the house.

Which put me at ease. I wanted her to feel comfortable here.Id do anything for my sister. With my connections and money i made sure we moved in asap , which only took a day ,and then next thing i knew we were driving away from that fucked up house.

Then when looking into schools on wednesday ,fucking five schools rejected me. Thanks to the rumors going around every fucking school that i am apparently "insane" or "psycho". I swear rumors fly around quickly and people will believe any of the shit you feed them. I swear sometimes i think i was born in the wrong generation.

What a waste of my time. Tuesday was no luck , i was starting to think everything would be a dead end , because if we couldn't find a school , then I'd have to feel this guilt with pulling lia down with me.

Wednesday was no luck too , and then thursday showed up , no luck too . This morning Lia and i were watching some type of vampire show shes obsessed with diary of the vampire or vampire diaries .Whatever they sound the same.

I was in the middle of hearing lia rant over some guy named steven or stefan . Saying how much she hated him and shit when the sound of my phone rang , which lia glared at me for ruining her speech , i patted her head as i stood up and walked to the kitchen .i looked at the number and it was unknown?

If it were another day I'd declined the call immediately, but something tells me that i should answer this call. I look at it for a few seconds when i answer the call , i let out a breath and try to be as nice as possible as i speak into the phone "Who is it?" Okay maybe not nice but progress.

I heard some talking behind the phone. Making me tap my foot impatiently i was about to bark at them when a feminine voice filled the speaker "Is this zaid gonzales?" She asked nicely.

I furrow my eyebrows "This is him , what do you want?"i demand. I would've been nice if they hadn't fucking took so long to answer me "You called in about a application for Aurelia gonzales and yourself to Rocklands Oaks High School , am i correct?" The lady asked behind the phone as i gripped the phone.

I swear to god if they reject me too ,ill personally go over there and burn that school to the ground. I hold in my irritation "Yes i did" i hear some ruffling on the other side as the lady speaks up again "Your application was approved , Aurelia gonzales as a sophomore and you as a senior , you start on monday , you should find your timetable and things at the front desk . I already spoke to the captain of the hockey team, and you're in luck , there's a spot open and as for aurelia we made sure to put her in the readers club she wanted. " the lady ranted as a huge grin wiped my face. I clear my throat " ill be sure to show up monday morning. Thank you." I say politely as she ends the call.

I put my phone in my pocket , as the morning sun sweeps through the kitchen windows , i smile and walk to where lia is again she looks at me strangely as i throw myself next to her again on the couch as she bounces a bit due to my impact.
