The Girl Who Wore Combat Boots

Chapter 1

Chapter 1- Troublemaker

I yawned and stretched as I woke up, and got ready for school. I threw on a paramore shirt and my basic skinny jeans with my favorite shoes which were combat boots. I quickly combed out my hair although it didn't help any. My black hair decide to stand up in a rat nest looking thing as always.

For breakfast, I quickly made some toast smeared with peanut butter on it. As I wrapped my toast in a napkin to make it easier to eat on the walk to school I grabbed my thermos filled with milk. I needed something to wash the peanut butter down with. I quickly grabbed a banana, and stuck it in my grey and black hobo bag I used for school.

I looked around the trailer quickly to make sure I didn't forget anything then I walked outside.  The brisk morning air greeted me. I walked out the exit of the trailer park. Looking both ways I quickly crossed the street. I dreaded walking to school, but I had no other choice because the school bus didn't like to stop at a trailer park.  Sadly I lived 13 miles away from my school, so I usually got to school late and have earned many tardies.

As I walked, I munched on my toast. The peanut butter stuck to my braces, but I didn't care. As I tried to sip some of my milk, the wind blew causing me to spill it all over myself. I screeched. Why did I never have good luck?

Of course when I walked into class I was late. 15 minutes late to be exact since I stopped at a gas station bathroom to clean up some. My teacher glared at me with a look of hatred. I new Ms. Winslow hated the fact I was constantly late, but I don't care. It wasn't like I could do anything about it.

"Ms. Fields, what is  the opposite of on time?" I heard my teacher ask.

"Late?" I said.

"Exactly, and you have so many tardies that you now officially have 3 days of after school detention."

I groaned and said, "Really?"

Ms. Winslow gave me a stern look and replied, "Really. Now get to work identify those past participle in each sentence." She handed me the worksheet everyone else was working on.

Later at lunch, I ate the banana that was in my hobo bag. Then, I got in the lunch line to grab something else because I was still hungry.  I am a vegetarian, so I hate meat. Sadly, all the cafeteria had without meat was their super salad that cost $2.00. I only had $1.50 on me. I sighed, and went to the vending machine just to realize that all they had left was hot pork rhines. Ew.

I went to after school detention as soon as class let out. Sighing I did my homework in silence. Once I finished I stared at the clock waiting for detention to be over. Sadly, there was still an hour left. I asked the detention teacher if I could use the bathroom. They said to be back in 5 minutes.

When I got to the bathroom I didn't use the toilet. Instead I put my bag on the ground and stood on top of it trying to reach the small square window that let a little light in the bathroom. If I could reach it I could get out of after school detention real fast. I finally got my hand on the lock of the window, and unlocked it. Crawling out the tiny window, but not realizing I left my bag as evidence behind.
