A/N: Daniel is the character for today!
____________________________________________________________
"Tori!" ugh. why does school exist. I have to wake up at 5:30 every morning "Victoria!" "Mom chill, I'm up!" I yelled. I love my mom, but I have to admit she can be a bit annoying. I have to keep my patience with her though. I'm the only one she has. After Dad left, she never wanted to find anyone else. I guess she didn't think she would find anyone else. It has made us close though. My mom was funny so it was easy to get along with her though.
Thank God it was Friday. School was miserable. I had a lot of friends, but I dont feel like im friends with them. Do you know what it's like to be in a crowded room and feel completely alone? That's exactly how I feel at school. There are only a few people in this world that I don't feel that way around. Savannah is one of them. She doesn't go to school with me though, but I see her every weekend. Her boyfriend Daniel (I sometimes call him Williams) is my other best friend. They are the only ones who really know me. Daniel always tells me "You need a lover. Maybe then he can help you." I just laugh at him when he says it. I don't have the greatest history with relationships. My first one, Eric, broke up with me after one day because he liked another girl more. My second one, Connor, broke up with me three days later because he didn't like me anymore. They kind of put my self esteem down, but I had my problems way before that happened. I have made a list of my problems.
1. ADD
2. Dyslexia
3. Depression
4. Self harming
5. just getting over being suicidal
I don't tell anyone but Daniel and Savannah. Most of the stuff I dont even tell Savannah. There's something about Daniel that makes me feel more open to him. I guess it's because he's the only guy who hasn't hurt or left me so I like that.
Enough about my problems... I put on some jeggings and a striped polo and went down stairs to eat my breakfast. I am not one of those girls who starve themselves. I like food way too much. I ate my breakfast quick and got into my car. Right away I plugged in my phone into the stereo and put on Ed Sheeran. Five minutes pass and i get to Olivia's house. I didn't really like her most of the time. She talks too much and is too loud. Don't get me wrong I am like that too, but not 24/7. I know when to be quite. She just talked the whole car ride about her boyfriend and I don't really know what else she said. I tuned out when I heard his name. I don't like that boy. You'll find out later why.
We got to school and Olivia went straight to the bathroom to check her hair and makeup. I'm not like that. The only make up i wear is concealor because I don't get a lot of sleep. That's it. Plus, I dont really care what everyone thinks I look like. I got into my classroom and a bunch of fake bitches ran up to me and gave me hugs. I used to like giving hugs. Now I dont really hug anyone. I walked away from the girls and sat down at my seat. This is the only teacher I don't like. I sit it the back of the class and sleep most days but exams are coming up so I paid attention today. The class went by fast and I was glad because next period is the only class I have with Daniel. Right when we got in the gym, I walked to Daniel. Some people went outside to play soccer or football and some poeple stayed inside for basketball. I went outside at first, but got tired of being alone so i went insdie to be with Daniel and some other friends. He was sitting at the top of the bleachers with Olivia, Gaby, Harlie, and Taylor. We both hated Olivia, Gaby, and Harlie, but we liked Taylor. I sat in front of them with my back to them and just listened to their gossip. I hate that. Why can't girls just talk about things other than peoples buisiness.
Daniel noticed I was being quite so he stood in front of me but still kept the conversation going. That's when he noticed them. I looked up and noticed he was staring at my arm. I pulled down the sleeve of my polo sweater and he looked up at me with concearned. He grabbed my hand and pulled me away.
"What the hell Tori!" he whisper-yelled. "I'm sorry Daniel." I knew he would understand though. Three years ago he did it too. He was going through a tough time with his family. "Tori you need to stop." "I will. I promise." I replied "That's not enough" he said. "Raise your hand and repeat after me" I laughed at him and did what he asked. "I tori" "I tori" "am very stupid" "am very stupid" "and I will not be stupid anymore" "and I will not be stupid anymore" "good job! now we need to find you a lover." he said "I know I know you tell me that all the time" i said gigglying. "I'm serious Tori. That new guy seems nice. Cute too" he said. New guy? I didnt know there ws a new guy. "Woah Williams, do i need to tell Savannah the new guy turned you?" he laughed. "I already made friends with him. He lives in my neighborhood and we have first period together. I'll introduce you to him at lunch" I thanked him and walked back to the group of girls.
The rest of the classes went by fast. I was so excited for lunch. When I got my food I looked over in Daniel's direction and saw the most beautiful boy sitting next to him.
