I stare a tall brown building, "look at me, back in this stupid hell hole. How exciting." I say to myself sarcastically.
I walk on the rainy concrete sidewalk, trying not to fall in a puddle. I have new doc martins that my step-sister, Hazel, gifted me. My family is...confusing. My oldest sister, Bianca, died from suicide. It truly was a shock. I mean, you'd look at her and think nothing is wrong.
I get knocked out of my thoughts when my friend Percy walks up to me. I've known him since I was 9. I used to have a crush on him, nobody knows. Honestly, I don't want them to know. That'd mean I'd have to come out and that's not fun.
"Hey! Neeks! How was your summer break?" Percy says with this stupid smile of his. His girlfriend, annabeth, is right next to him.
