I'm trying.

Chapter 1

I'm Aaliah, my mom tells me I'm named after some singer chick or something lol. Usually people have a nickname, unfortunately my name is too "unique" to have one of those nicknames. So my friends call me Aaliah and my "not-friends" call me Aaliah. I'm 14 years old, a freshmen at Northside school for fine arts, I'm a pianist. All my friends are talented, my bestfriend Melissa Sanchez is my inspiration, she's good at almost everything! Her profession is violin. I honestly don't know why I got the scholarship I'm not even that good, it's costs like fifty billion dollars without the scholarship.  My mom cares a lot about my education so she paid about $300.

   If you were wondering if I had a boyfriend, yes I do. He's a senior.. SIKE, he's a freshmen like me. He plays guitar which makes him 10 times more hotter then he already is, plus he can sing (add 10 times more hotness), and he's smart (more hotness!). I can make a whole book on how he's perfect. Sometimes he can piss me off though, I'm a jealous type. Because who the hell wouldn't be jealous if you had a boyfriend that was fire. His names Christopher, I call him Chrissy.

I like my school it's just a little too hard, higher expectations I guess. At a regular school I would be considered a freak or a nerd because I'd be so smart but here at Northside I'm dumb. My first period is homeroom which is in Mr. Garcia's room which is the math teacher, yes even in fine arts schools there's math. He's one of the normal teachers, he doesn't play an instrument or act or even teach well. That's why he's my favorite teacher, he let's us do whatever we wanted just couldn't be so loud. What I love about homeroom is that I have my boyfriend in that class, so I always start the day good. He walks into the door pulls out my headphones and says "hey baby, I missed you" and gave me a kiss on the cheek. I look at him, roll my eyes because he turned off my music and say "hi I missed you too asshole" then give him a kiss. "But I'm your asshole" he says, he just ruined the fucking moment, but his eyes make up for it, he has beautiful hazel eyes and long eyelashes. He caught me staring, and he just starred back. He makes me have elephants in my stomach when I talk to him. Then after like 100 hours of starring Melissa interrupted us "c'mon Aaliah we have to go to our next class!". I looked at her and squinted my eyes, when I turn around he kisses me, I feel like that's the only thing that matters at that point. I could've been there all say if Melissa didn't pull me away.

The day seemed like it was perfect, until i realized I had to go home. I don't live in the Northside, I live more west. I was hoping I got to go to Melissa's but there's no way my dad would let me. So I just go home, believe me I love being home, when my dad's not home that is. My dad is always drunk, and everytime my mom tries to tell him to quit he gets physical. So she just let's him be I guess, I have 2 siblings both brothers, Lucas and Mike. They are always scared, always trying to get into school projects after school just to stay away from home. I mean sure I love my dad, but I hate him too. I blame him for everything, I blame him because we don't have enough money to do stuff like a normal family because half of moms checks go to bills and the other half goes for his beer. I hated him for hitting my mom, I hated him for hitting my brothers, I hated him for hitting me and breaking all of our nice valuables and most of all I hated him for having me.
