The Deeper Me

CHAPTER ONE

A picture of Crystal

*Ellie point of view*

Beeeeeeeeeeep!!!!! The alarm turns on and it blows my ears off. Ugh I have to start getting ready for school but I can't be bothered and no one cares about me except my little cheeky annoying bestie Crystal. Crystal barged into my room full of excitement because today is first back from Christmas holidays. Great another brand New Year. Ughhhh I hate school but Crystal always cheers me up.

"WAKE UP SLEEPYBUM TODAY IS FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL!!!!!!!!!!" she whacks me with whatever she's using. "okay okay okay im awake for god heaven sakes! I love sleeping and you know I can't leave my precious baby." Crystal gives me a serious look. She drags me out of my bed into the bathroom to clean myself up. I wore a black jumper with ripped black jeans and black converse. I brushed my teeth, I left my hair out to hide my ears and lastly put my glasses on. Everyone says I look like a nerd but I don't care. 'Don't judge a book by the its cover." My favourite quote. Anyway I'm walking to school with Crystal who is super loud.

I went to my locker and pulled all books that I need for my classes. Ugh history in period 1! What a great way to start my hell. Oh no, Alison is coming towards me. She is the most popular girl in school but the most selfish and stubborn person you'll ever meet. She has long skinny legs like a Victoria Secret model. Oh I wish I was pretty like her. She has long blonde hair like a Barbie doll. Hahaha lol! She has a long nose with big dark eyes, which makes her look evil. She is also very tanned, Lucky her. "Hello nerd, you look like just woke up. Poor you! Actually no one care what you look like LOL." She giggled. Evil little shithead I hate her so much ever since I came to this school. It's been three years and she is still teasing me. DINGGGGGGGGGG!!!!! That's the bell oh thank God I can escape from the evil bitch.

As I enter class I went all the way to the back and sat where the window is. Everyone thinks I'm invisible, I use to get upset about it but now I really don't care. The teacher comes in. Then class start, blah blah blah I don't care about politics.

It was recess time. Finally I was going through hell with that old man who just wouldn't stop talking and is so slow like a snail. Then I see Crystal giggling with some jerk. I left and went outside until I bumped into someone. I looked up and dropped my tray because it was the bad boy in our school. His name is Kyle Peter. He is a troublemaker. He always disobeys the rules and gets detention all the time. Badass. I was scared to speak up because in my past boys have bashed me up because I was born deaf. I had to wear a cochlear, which made me feel unconfident about myself. I was afraid to show the real me so I hid the truth about it from everyone except my family which I don't really see very often. The bad boy stood there speechless. He was about to say something but I ran away about to cry. I was so upset because I'm deaf and everyone rejects me for who I am. Then bad boy ran after me.

*Kyle point of view*

I wake up by my best mate Joshua who was singing on top of his lungs. "SHUT UP JOSHUA YOU ARE THE WORST SINGER IN THE WORLD!" I said annoyed. He laughs and said "Why thank you Kyle, Get up and get ready school which starts in 15 minutes." I groan. I got ready for school. I'm walking with Joshua who was talking about some sort of game. I didn't listen when something catches me. I heard someone screaming and laughing loudly. I looked to my left seeing two girls walking together one of them is quiet and sleepily. The other is screaming and laughing. I giggle until Joshua saw where I was looking at. He laughed along with me saying that chick is cute and telling me that he wants to see who she is. We continue walking to school.

I go to my locker and dumped my bag in and went off to the field. I usually go there because its a quiet and calm place to go. I go there when I'm upset or angry or just feel like going there. Then I go to history class. I actually like history but I don't show it because I'm afraid of people seeking the real me. In class I was bored so I got a straw and put a piece of paper in it. I hit Joshua where he was sitting. He got pissed off and yelled, "Dude! Stop it you fricken little shithead!" I laughed and grinned.

Anyway, class finally finished and its finally recess. I can go to my favourite place. On my way I bumped into this girl and i was about to say something but I went speechless when I saw who I bumped into. It was the girl who I have had a crush on since year 6 that is when she came to our school. She dropped her tray, I was about to pick it up but she ran away. I didn't know what I was doing but I was curious about her so I went after.

I finally reached her in the bush crying. I went up to her. Her eyes were all watery which broke my heart. "Are you okay?" I said calmly. "Go away, No one likes me." She said upset. I sat down next to her. My heart was pumping faster every minute I got closer to her. The atmosphere was getting hotter. Shit I think I'm sweating. God! Why am I nervous I'm a guy I should be tough and confident. "Hey, I'm not those sort people." She looked up shocked "How? You barely know me and I'm invisible to everyone." I breathed and calmed down. "Anyway why are you here in field and not in the cafeteria like everyone else is?" she stiffens a little bit and said "I like being alone. Why are you here then? Your so popular, you should go where everyone expects you to be." Damn she's one little smart girl. I felt so dumb. "So why are you crying?" she holds her tears back and said strongly "Um... it's just I don't trust guys and when I looked at you, you reminded me of someone." I was shocked after what she said. How can she not trust guys! Wait maybe something bad happened to her. Poor her... she's too innocent and beautiful to be hurt. Wait why am I saying she's beautiful!?!?! God I think I'm starting to like her.
