Full Moon Under You

Chapter 2

When I arrived home last night, I immediately threw Brian's jacket in the trash can outside of my house.

I walked into my house and was so grateful that my sisters weren't awake. I was still frazzled and didn't want to explain what had happened. I showered to get rid of the feeling of Brian's touch. As you can imagine, I didn't sleep much that night.

----------

I woke up the next morning and got ready for school. Thank God it's Friday.

I walked downstairs and started to make breakfast for my sisters. I only live with my sisters. My parents are, how do I put this, not great. When I was 14, they gambled all of our money away and to deal with the repercussions, they turned to hard drugs. When I turned 16, Jax was 20, and Emily was 14, we came up with a plan to run away. Jax had been saving up for two years and said she found a job that could support all of us. The night we had planned on running away, Jax and Emily made it to the car, but my parents caught me before I was able to leave the house. I told Jax to take Emily and go, that I would be okay. Jax spent the next two years in court with my parents trying to get me out, but my parents always found a way to cover their tracks and keep me. So, I just waited until I was 18, left a note, and found Jax.

Fortunately, my parents eventually were sent to jail. 

Unfortunately, I missed two years of school because I had to basically support myself. Now I'm making it up. Part of the reason I can't make friends in school is because I'm a 20 year old senior in high school. On top of that, we moved to Beacon Hills two months ago, so I'm in my last year basically starting over again, so fun right?

"Morning, Ky." Said Emily. Emily and I are seniors together. In a way, I'm glad I missed those two years so I can have this experience with my sister.

"Good morning, Em. Blueberry pancakes today."

"You know, you don't have to make us breakfast everyday, right?" said Emily

"I know, but I enjoy it." I really did enjoy cooking. I didn't want to become a chef or anything, but I just liked knowing the people that I love are well-fed.

"Is Jax sleeping in?" I asked.

"Yeah, she was up late last night."

"Okay, well when you're done eating I'll drive us to school."

Emily had made some friends in our two months of being here. 

I have not. 

I'm kind of okay with it though. I want to focus on my grades so I can go to college. Not that I have any idea what I'd do there, but at least I'm going down the right path.

"Hey Em, I'm going to the library, I have a free period and I want to get ahead on some work." I said waving goodbye.

I sat down at a computer in the corner of the library and started working on some homework. The only advice I have about high school is avoid AP Chem at ALL COSTS.

I worked for about 20 minutes until someone came up to me.

"Hey, you're in AP Chem right?"

I looked up to see Lydia Martin.

"Yeah, why?"

"Well, because I'm a junior I don't really know anyone in the class and I was wondering if you'd want to work on some of this homework together?" Lydia asked.

"Oh, uh, sure! Have a seat. I'm Kylie, by the way."

We spent the rest of the free period half doing chemistry work, half getting to know each other. She invited me to sit with her at lunch, which, THANK GOD. I love my sister dearly, but I see her all day, every day, so it'd be nice to have some time away.

------------

"Everyone, this is Kylie. She's going to sit with us now." Lydia announced to the entire table.

I smiled and waved to everyone and they all introduced themselves. Allison, Stiles, and Scott. I've seen them around before. I believe Scott and Stiles both play lacrosse. Allison is dating Scott. Allison and Lydia are best friends. Scott and Stiles are best friends. Okay, so now I know the whole dynamic. I think this may actually be something good for me.
