Courage

Chapter 1

BEEP BEEP BEEP

I rolled over and looked at the clock 5:30. I have to get up and go to school. I don't know why my mother won't let me change schools, or do anything to get me out of that hell hole called Jefferson High School, its probably because she's so far into the bottle she forgot i even existed. You see the reason I hate going to school is because of this girl named Lauryn Hunt, she's that girl most girls envy and want to be like, shes dating Jake Foster the captain of the football team, shes the head cheerleader, is beautiful on the outside, but definitely not the inside. At points I believe she has no soul. See, she's bullied me for as long as I can remember. I have no clue why though. I'm not pretty or anything. I am honestly nothing special. I don't have any friends because people are scared that if they are friends with me Lauryn will go after them too. 

I get out of bed slowly, dreading the day ahead of me. I walk into my bathroom and look in the mirror. Ugh, bed head. i'm going to have to take a shower to get my hair to look the least bit normal, if that's even possible. I grab my toothbrush and toothpaste and brush my teeth really good. Clean towel in bathroom, check. Clean washcloth, check. Shampoo, check. Conditioner, check. Body wash, check. Razor, check. Shaving Cream, check. Okay i think I'm good. I turn the water on and check to make sure its working. Okay, good Mom didnt forget to pay the water bill.

Once i'm done wioth my shower i let my hair fall down in loose waves, and throw on a Beatles tank top, skinny jeans, a Nyan Cat hoodie and black keds. I apply minimal makeup and im ready for school. i grab my keys and an apple and yell "Bye mom!" she probably didnt hear me. i hop in my car and am on my way to school.

Thank god she didn't see me as i walked through the parking lot. now to hopefully get through school with out being noticed.
