Forever//My Digital Escape

Chapter 1

*Makenzie's POV*
    
     "Makenzie!" I heard him shout. I turned and there he was, running towards me. My God that boy is hot. Wait, what am I saying?
  
"What?" I asked as he reached me.

"Makenzie there's something I've been wanting to do since the first moment I saw you." he stopped, looked at my lips, then back into my eyes. Slowly, he started leaning in. I heard a whisper in the distance but couldn't make out what it said.

     Just as our lips were about to touch, the whisper got louder and louder, and as it did I heard what it was saying; "Wake up. Wake up. Wake up! Makenzie! You're gonna be late!"

     I groaned and rolled over to see my little sister, Sara, standing next to my bed with a huge smile on her face.

"Who's Johnnie?" she asked with a smirk.

"W-what are you talking about?" I responded. Had I been saying his name in my sleep?

"You kept saying 'Oh Johnnie. Johnnie kiss me already' in your sleep. So, who is he? Is he your boyfriend?" I blushed slightly at the word 'boyfriend'.

"No, he's not my boyfriend. He's just a guy at school."

"Well why do you want him to ki-"

"Just forget it Sara. Go get ready for school" I said, not wanting to have this conversation with a 6 year old.

"fineeee" she sighed, leaving my room.

     I guess I should introduce myself now. Hey, I'm Makenzie. I'm a 14 year old eighth grader with no friends. It wasn't always this way though. I used to have tons of friends. During the summer after 7th grade I didn't really talk to anybody, so when 8th grade started, all my friends had forgotten about me.

     I'm alright though. I don't mind having no one asking me why I'm alone, or why I look so sad. It's easier that way. Anyway, enough about that.

     I am complete band trash. My favorite bands are My Chemical Romance, Bring Me The Horizon, Panic! At The Disco, Of Mice & Men, Black Veil Brides, Pierce The Veil, Bullet For My Valentine, and Issues. A lot, I know.

     Other than bands, I am obsessed, and I mean it when I say obsessed, with YouTube. There are so many YouTubers that have helped me through my...dark past. YouTubers like Tyler Oakley, CrankThatFrank, Dan Howell, Phil Lester, and the list goes on. I just wish I could tell them how much they've helped me.

     Well, that's about it. The only other thing you would really wanna know is I love drawing and singing. I'm pretty boring.

     I sighed getting out of bed. 'Another day in hell' I thought to myself. I went to my closet and through on my favorite outfit, an MCR shirt with lots of fringe, my ripped black skinny jeans, studded heels (Yeah, I wear studded heels and yeah I'm in eighth grade. Deal with it), and my MCR necklace. I also put on my Psycho earrings, MCR beanie, and a few bracelets. ( http://www.polyvore.com/m/set?.embedder=11582952&id=168014452) Then, I straightened my long, colorful hair.

     I walked down the hall to Sara's room and knocked on her door.

"Come on Sara, we're gonna be late if we don't leave now" I called. She walked out wearing her One Direction t-shirt and black leggings. I rolled my eyes when I saw her shirt. (I hate One Direction)

"Let's go" I said putting my hand out for her to take. She grabbed it and we headed towards the door where I grabbed my backpack and house keys. I locked the front door behind me and we were off.

     Our walk, which isn't very long, was silent. When we got to Sara's school, I knelt down and hugged her like I usually did. I pulled away and said goodbye to her. She smiled at me and said, "Have fun with your boyfriend sissy" I rolled my eyes and responded, "I told you, he's not my boyfriend"

"You wish he was" y'know, I wish she wasn't so smart sometimes.

"N-no I don't" I stuttered.

"Yes you d-"

"Sara, that's enough. I'll see you after school." I said and walked away, putting my ear buds in.

     I put my phone on shuffle and kept walking until I reached hel- I mean school. The first person I saw was...him. Standing there with his friends, wearing a band shirt. God, can he get anymore perfect? Wait, what did I just say? Mak, you have to stop doing this.

     I walked to the spot where I usually sat until the bell for first period rang. It was a shady spot under a big tree, where not many people went. I sat and watched him (aka Johnnie) and his friends laughing about something he just said.

     You guys probably think I'm some kind of stalker but, I'm not. Well, depending on your definition of stalker...Anyway, it was a few weeks ago. I was sitting under the tree like usual, drawing whatever came to mind, when I heard a bunch of people talking. I looked up and saw a group of people I had seen around school, but me, being the loner I am, didn't know their names. Then I noticed him. He had gorgeous blue eyes, perfect black hair, and an amazing smile.

     Over the next few weeks, I would see them everyday. Then, one day I overheard one of them say the boy's name. Johnnie. I stared at him for a minute, until he looked up and his eyes caught mine. Shyly, I looked back down at what I had been drawing and blushed like mad.

     Ever since then he'll occasionally bump shoulders with me when I pass him in the hall way. And, I can't easily avoid him because he's in 5 of my 6 classes.

     Its finally lunch time, so I go back to my tree and start drawing. Again. I never eat lunch anymore. Not since what happened in sixth grade. Long story short, I have always struggled a bit with my weight. And people noticed. People bullied me and I acted like I didn't care, but I did. I stopped eating breakfast AND lunch. It's been that way since.

     'Five more minutes. Five more minutes until I can leave this place.' I thought to myself as I sat in 6th period.

"Alright class, you can start packing up now" my teacher said, finally looking up from his computer. I mentally cheered, putting my books in my backpack.

     "Alright, see you all tomorrow" the teacher said as the bell rang. I stood up and speed walked to the door. In the process, I ran into someone and they dropped their books.

"I, urm, uh, sorry" I said bending down and picking up their books for them. I looked up and locked eyes with the person...

It was Johnnie.

Hey everyone, I hope you liked my story so far. It kinda sucks, sorry. Please leave feedback, I love knowing what you guys think. (a/n the picture is "Makenzie". Also, I don't hate One Direction, I'm actually a Directioner, so don't hate me for that xD)
