It's Monday now.
I'm not happy. Kai snuck out last night and hasn't been back since. I mean not that I care but he could've been a little more quiet while sneaking out, right?
My phone dings and I walk over to see a text from my brother.
My brother dropped out of boarding school around a year before I came.
It's the reason why I'm here. My dads goal is to keep us separated.
'Hey sis. What class do you have first?' It reads.
I walk over to my desk and grab my schedule.
English.
I sigh and reply back.
'Oof'
I turn off my phone and walk over to my closet to put on my school uniform.
I put on my black pleated skirt and a white blouse long sleeve blouse. I keep it untucked since having it tucked in is very uncomfortable.
The blouse is a little big on me and covers a bit of skirt but it's cute I guess. The dress code forbids colored shoes so I'm stuck with my black converse on a daily basis.
I grab my bag and head out the door, saying by to Pebbles in the process.
I know Kai doesn't have a key because I have both keys on my keychain.
Hehe.
I lock the door so he can't get it.
That'll show him.
I walk down the stairs and towards the elevators, praying I don't run into anyone.
After exiting the elevators I make my way to the bus stop where I get on the big green bus.
The bus ride is the same as it always is. We stop by the other dormitories and then finally continue onto school.
I rush my way to my locker to grab my English textbook and then speed walk to class so I'm not late.
I make it into class at 9:01 instead of 9.
Oh shit.
"Miss Winters, why are you late?" Mr. Sanchez says in front of the whole class.
"I um got held up at my locker," I lie.
"Please speak to me after class," He says and the whole class snickers.
I sink into my chair, biting my lip to keep from crying.
I bounce my knee.
I grab my metal water bottle from my bag and accidentally knock it off my desk.
