Hailsmith Academy, that's the name of the new prison I'll be going to. Oh, did I say prison? I meant school. I rush down the stairs, into the dining room to get something to eat before I head off. Stopping short when I see my mother sat at the table, paper in hand with tears streaming down her face. "What's up, mom," I ask wearily, eyebrows raising towards the top of my head.
"If we don't pay $1,000 in the next two days for the house then we are out. I-I can't pay it. Not with everything going up in price." She sniffles, wiping her nose with a tissue that was lodged in her sweater.
"Mom give me by the end of today and I will put the money into your bank." I deadpan.
"H-how, you're only 17 years old you don't have that type of money."
"Trust me Mom I will sort it." My voice not weary anymore, just hiding a little anger as we are in this stupid position again.
I look at the clock, only just stroking 8 AM. Normally I would mind being late, but right now I have a duty to do, and quick. I throw my backpack down on the floor beside the front door, rushing up the stairs to my bedroom. Quiet wind chimes sounds from the window, making me smile thinking of different times when things were perfect. Opening my laptop, I pull up my hacking system, clicking different peoples banks.
It doesn't take me long to have a list of the top wealthiest men right in front of my eyes. I grin to myself, carefully selecting one. Ah, Mr Ice. He'll be a nice doner for a new charity I'm making for my mother. If charity is in the transaction, I'm sure they won't notice. Especially if they think they're being generous and will get more recognition. I start moving money from a his account into a fake one, then transferring it into moms and some into mine.
Once the transaction is complete, I rush back downstairs poking my head in to my mother.
"All done, I've put $2m in your bank account. thank me later, love you."
I don't give her time to speak. I slam the front door shut, hopping into my car and peeling away at record time.
Driving into the schools parking lot, people's heads swerve my way to see who the new car belongs to then the newbie. Which would be me. Kids in their nice flashy cars lean against them, judgement in their eyes without even having met me. I jump out of my car, automatically taken into people's conversations.
"Holyfuck....Who the hell is she?" Some guy nudges his friend in the ribs to take a look, but he isn't budging from looking at whatever it is he's interested in.
"I don't know and I sure as hell don't give a fuck." He says out loud. Charming.
"Come on man, what's the worst that could happen?"
"I think Death will take her before anyone gets a chance." He whisper-shouts, not giving a fuck about who's near him.
"Why would my brother do that as you know he's the fucking mafia don and he sure as fuck doesn't date fat girls."
"Just look Tyler."
I don't know why I'm waiting around for a stamp of approval from this dickhead, but my legs are rooted to the spot. His eyes start at my shoes, slowly making their way all the way up my body, then back down. "Fuck."
"She's doing shit to my fucking dick that's all I'm saying."
"Not if I get her first. She's mine."
"Is Tyler Ice falling in love.?"
I slam my car door closed, thankful for my body to have now started moving. I lift my chin, searching for the way to the Academy's office. Finally finding the office, I turn the corner and hit a wall.
"Ugh." I groan, looking opposite me seeing that what I had smacked into wasn't a wall, it was a person. A girl in fact. "Holyshit, I am so sorry."
"I-It's fine. It was my fault I-I was on my phone. P-please don't hurt me." She says.
"Excuse me? Dude, you can chill. I'm not going to hurt you. Names Rose."
"Hi, Y-you shouldn't be talking to me people will hate you and bully you but my name is Bella Ice."
"Well, Bella you just made a friend. Now get up bestie."

Maths class is clearly what I thought it would be. Draining and absolutely boring. Whoever invented this to learn clearly thought school was prison. I hold back a groan, hearing commotion outside the classroom door before it blows open by the strength of two lads.
"Oh fucking hell. Not again." Bella says under her breath. I look over at her, brows raising in question. Said lads stalk over to our table, Drake and Tyler I'm assuming their names are, but right now. Who the hell gives a crap what their names are, I need them far away from us.
"What do you want Drake." Bella rolls her eyes, her chin raising to meet theirs.
"Don't be like that Bella your brothers won't like you being mean to me would they now."
"Baby, why are you talking to thistramp." A girl exclaims while walking to Drake.
"Don't you fucking call her that Liv" He says.
"Woah back the fuck up DollarTree Barbie." I shake my head, putting as much ice into my voice whilst speaking to this little leech. Arms crossing over my chest, I tilt my head to her.
"And you are.?" She asked.
"I'd like to say your worst nightmare, but thats a little too cliche. But for old times sake, lets just say I am." I say while smiling. "You are nothing, and if you ever try hurling around insults about anyone then It won't end well for you."
"Fuck, thats hot. I've got to tell Tyler." Drake grins whilst looking at me. I roll my eyes as Drake runs out of the classroom and Bella slams her head onto the table.
"So anyone I need to keep away from.?" I asked out loud.
"YES! Keep away from the boys who she knows." DollarTree Barbie says while walking away from our table.
"What the hell is her problem with you?" I ask Bella.
"I- I don't wanna talk about it. Look we can't be friends, I'm sorry." She says getting up from the chair and walking out.

I get home around 4:30, and head straight for the kitchen. As usual it is a different sight and vibe from this morning. And of course, Mother never says anything about where I got the money.
"How was your first day?" She asks, looking up from her laptop to pin me with her gaze.
"It was....Strange." I shrug off my bag, sitting down opposite my mother. "I made a friend, but then she said she didn't want to be my friend. I have no clue what's going on."
"Hm, well all you can do is be there for her, sweetheart." She sighs and closes her laptop. "But I need to go to work. I'm sorry I can't get time off." My mom says to me.
"It's fine Mom," I laugh, getting up to hug her goodbye.
Once my mother has gone to work, I walk upstairs and into the bathroom, having a quick shower. Once done, I walk to my bedroom, getting changed in there and putting my hair up. Grabbing my laptop, I sit on my bed and try searching for Bella on all social media platforms.
Now to wait for her to accept. Flicking my eyes over to the TV thats playing The Vampire Diaries in the background, I stifle a yawn when a ding gets my attention.
I open the new email from an anonymous account.
'STAY AWAY FROM BELLA CHUB CHUB YOU DON'T WANNA MESS WITH HER SHES NOTHING BUT A RAT STAY AWAY OR ELSE.'
