Hooters Boys and First Days

I opened my eyes, and looked at the clock beside me. 11:45 a.m.? That couldn't be right. I checked my phones clock, and the same four numbers flashed back at me. No nightmare. "Unbelievable," I muttered to myself. I got up, and headed downstairs

A yellow sticky note was placed on the freezer door. I pulled it off and examined it.

Going to the grocery store, be back soon. -Dad.

I sighed of relief. Alone time. I made a quick bowl of cereal, and ate it on the couch. I then headed upstairs, took a quick shower, and dressed in my jeans from yesterday, and a white V-neck T-shirt. I paced around my room. What to do? I sat down at my desk, and fired up my laptop. I signed into my Facebook, and began reading my wall posts.

Jack: I can't believe you left me with Anna. She's going to kill me, and I won't have my protector anymore! What am I going to do for the rest of senior year! Oh the Agony.

I laughed, and read the next one.

Ashley: I hope you're happy! Leaving me here, with all these sick bastards. I thought we were in this for life! Traitor...But I still love you lots Em.

I smiled. Ashley was one of my closest friends.

Nick: I can't believe you're really gone. School is never going to be the same without you. Miami, will never be the same. I won't be able to walk to Physics anymore with you, and I'll be stuck with the creepy chick with the thick uni-brow as a partner...*EW* I really don't know what I am going to do without you. You mean so much to me. Is there any room in that house for me? Anyways, keep in touch Em.

I smiled. I never dated anyone at my old high school. I've had people who crushed on me, but I just wasn't really ready for a relationship. But Nick almost made me change my mind about dating, a lot in my life. Even in freshman year, he made me blush with just his smile from across the hall. I sighed, and read the rest of the post, which were from students I didn't really talk to. They mainly said things like "Hope you have a safe life," or "I'll miss seeing you around," and my all-time favorite "Emily right? Didn't even know you left".

I smiled, and shut the laptop. I really was going to miss the one place I fit in. I looked out the window at the backyard, and the blue water caught my eye. I shrugged, and got up searching my drawers for my swimsuit. I found my blue two piece, and quickly changed. I grabbed a towel, and headed to the back yard.

Once outside, I was grateful it was a warm day. I sat my towel on one of the chairs, took the ladder into the pool, and slowly, dived in. The water was cold, but I didn't care. Swimming is my favorite thing to do. It always calms my nerves and makes every shitty situation a little better. I've won many medals, from being on the Miami swim team. I wonder if Portland has a swim team.

I ignored the idea, and backstroked to the other side of the pool. I plan on keeping to myself this senior year. No extracurriculars. No partying. No boys. No distractions. I just want to graduate high school with a good enough GPA for me to go to a college in Miami. That's all I want. I swam back to the other side of the pool, and came up for air. I looked into the back door, to see if Izzy and Dad had returned yet, but I couldn't see any movement. I swam back to the other side, and came up gripping the pool wall. I heard a snapping of a branch coming from the woods, which made me swing my head in that direction. Nothing.
