~Kate's P.O.V~
3 Years Earlier
BEEP BEEP BEEP.
I rolled over to my bed side table and smacked the obnoxious alarm clock till it shut off.
Today is my first day of high school, but I'm not looking forward to it like most people are.
Over the summer a lot of things have happened.
My mom had gotten very sick and my dad left her just before she got ill,
So I'm the only one taking care of her, since the rest of my family are still in Canada.
I pulled myself up from my bed and made my way over to the bathroom to get ready for school. I applied some foundation and swiped the mascara brush over my eyelashes. I added some strawberry flavored lipgloss to my lips then put on my school uniform. I made my way down the hall to the kitchen and poured myself a bowl of cereal.
My mom must still be in bed. She hasn't been well lately no one knows why but she's starting to get very Ill. I've been worried about her. I could hear her wicked cough coming through the hall way. I walked over to the cupboard and got her medication out and got a glass of water.
I walked to the end bedroom of the small bungalow and opened to door. I walked over to her and knelt down. I handed her the pills and the water and watched her take them. I got up from my spot and kissed her on the forehead, exiting the room.
I finished the rest of my cereal, checked on my mom one last time then left the house being sure to lock the door behind me.
I started walking down the street to my bus stop. I ended up running to the bus stop seeing as the bus was already there when I turned the final corner. I made it to the bus and climbed aboard thanking the bus driver for waiting for me! He nodded his head in reply and sent me to find my seat.
I walked down the aisle and found the last empty seat. I pushed my self to the window and leaned my head against it. We came to the final stop and I felt the cushion of the seat sink down. I turned my head to the left to see a boy about a year or two older than me. He had piercings and tons of tattoos. He was quite scary looking and I didn't feel comfortable sitting with him. I looked back out the window. About ten minutes later I started to smell the familiar scent I know as cigarettes. I looked back over at the mysterious boy to see him talking to another guy across the aisle of the bus. Both of them had a cigarette sticking out of their mouths.
The boy sittng with me stood up and walked to the very back of the bus. He gave his cigarette to one of the other tuff looking guys and told him to hold it. He kept walking until he stopped in front of a younger boy.
He had thick glasses and some blue colored braces. I couldn't make out what the conversation was but it was intense the nerdy looking boy looked terrified and helpless. The scary looking boy rolled his sleeve up and wound up ready to deliver a punch.
"STOP" I yelled. Oh shit...what did I get my self into? The scary looking boy put his arm down while the nerdy one who's name I'm learning is drew?looked at me thankfully. The scary boy turned around and walked back to me. By now I was standing right in front of him.
"You must be the new kid? I'm Liam...and By the way no one tells me what to do you little..." I cut Liam off. " How bout you shut up and sit down! your such a bastard!" with that I sat down and turned back to the window gazing out of it. I felt Liam sit back down beside me. He put his hand on my knee but I grabbed his hand and threw it away before he could do anything else. "You're different...I like you!" he told me
I turned to look at him.
"and you're scary...I don't like you!" he moved his face closer to mine. I could feel his smokey breath on my face. My breathing was heavy.
"I'll Prove You Wrong..."
