Through The Dark

1. Senior Year

Monday Morning

"Beep, beep, beep"

I extend my hand out to hit the snooze button on my alarm clock to then open my eyes 5 minutes later to realize that it was 6:30 a.m. Im usually not the one to wake up this late. But today for some reason I overslept.

I rushed out of bed and looked in my closet. I found a maroon sleeveless blouse with dark wash blue jeans and my navy blue toms. My makeup was simple; some eyeliner, mascara and maroon lipstick to match my blouse. Everyone on the first day usually tries to dress to impress on the first day. I looked at myself in the mirror and couldn't believe I was a senior in high school! 10 months will fly by in no time.

My best friend Liam texts me.

Can you believe it's the first day of senior year!!!! You nervous?

Liam and I have been best friends since kindergarten and he was like the brother I never had. He's always been there for me and through my emotional roller coaster and 2 relationships throughout middle school and high school that ended up in disasters or doc I drama worthy.

I decided to reply back with simply

Nah I'm not even a tad bit nervous, I'm just really glad it'll be one day out of senior year and leaving all the immaturity of delinquents behind. Watch all the freshman get lost around the hallways and girls trying but to hard to impress the boys. lol see you in 20 - Sophia

"Say cheese!" My mum says when I arrive downstairs.

"Ugh mum please no photos, it's to early for that." I say sweetly as possible.

"I just can't believe my babies a senior this year. Where have the years gone? Seems like just yesterday I was dropping you off at Kindergarten and now you drive yourself to school." My mum said all why trying not to shed a tear.

"Mum it's just high school. It's like every other year I've dealt with of this hell that feels like prison. I probably won't even have a boyfriend once again, so there's nothing to worry about there!" I said to make things clear that way I could be one my way.

"Okay drive safe I love you and text me when you get home!"

"Alright see you later." I give my mum a hug and somehow manage to leave without her holding on longer.

I love my mum so much. Ever since my dad took his new job I've gotten to spend a lot more time with her since he's had to travel so much. So I only get to see him on the weekends when he has off. But I guess that's the life you have to live when you earn hell of good money.

The song History by One Direction was playing when I pulled up to school in my black Range Rover, parking in my usual spot in between "Mr. Popular" and Liam. Marie my Range was my baby and had been through so many teenage crisis these past 2 years since I've been able to drive. I may have not been the popular one, but rather the smart one who loved to play the piano. Everyone envied my car including "Mr. Popular" himself, Ashton Sutherland.

I get out of my car to see Ashton staring at some girls ass.

"Thirsty player." I murmur under my breathe.

I then turn to see Liam walkig over to hug me and walk to class with me.

"Hey Soph, how was your college visits this summer?"
