"BEEP BEEP BEEP"
I groaned and rolled over to aimlessly smack the air until I hit my alarm clock. I awkwardly sat up wiping the sleep out of my eyes. As I ambled over to the bathroom I managed to trip over two shirts and a pair of pants I had left on the floor. I really need to clean my room. I hopped into the shower and got ready. When I was finished putting on my greasy McDonald's uniform. I clipped my name tag that read 'Tessa' to my chest. While I packed up my backpack I heard a loud bang and a yell coming from downstairs.
"Well, I better go out the window today," I said to myself. Knowing that going near my dad when he is angry always leads to being late and sore.
So I hopped out the window, tossed my backpack to the ground and started walking to McDonalds. As I was walking I saw a man walking towards me. I knew well enough to keep my distance, there are plenty of douches in this town to keep every prostitute busy. He slowly walked by, letting out a low wolf whistle when he finally past. I flipped him off and continued walking.
I finally reached McDonalds and went inside
"Good morning Tes!" My manager Bethany chirps
"I wouldn't call it good," I replied
"Always so grumpy,"
I put on headset and started to help a customer at the drive-thru
---------------------------------------
"Finally," I said as I ripped off my headset and left McDonalds,"Now time to go to the prison that is school,"
It's not that I'm a bad student or anything, in fact I'm a straight A student. It's just that there are too many jerk-faced bitches that have the time of their life torturing me everyday. I can't tell you how many times I've been ruthlessly tormented by Stephanie Alexander, South Valley High's 'it' girl, and her clique of four other dumb, platinum haired, excuses for women. Honestly, it's not my fault that my family can't afford stylish clothes and good food. And that both my brother and I have to work at least two jobs because my father is always too drunk and can't keep a job for more than a week. If I had it my way I would not be working at McDonalds from 4:30 in the morning until it was time for school and as soon as I leave rushing to get to my second job at the grocery store and then staying up to God knows how late trying to finish homework. And all the while trying to stay as far as possible from my father.
Before I know it I'm standing in front of the front of the school. I take a deep breathe and walk into the school that smells like a mixture of cleaning supplies and way too much Axe. Seriously, a spray or two is enough guys. As I'm walking to my locker I hear Stephanie's shrill laugh coming from behind me. I start to walk faster hoping that she won't notice me, but it's too late, she's already spotted my jet black hair in the mass of brown and blonde haired girls.
"Tessa dear, what's the rush?" She taunts
"I was hoping I could get through my morning without having it ruined by your hideous face," I snapped. The crowd behind her laughed, but she waved a perfectly manicured hand at them, signalling for them to be quiet. She looked down at my arm noticing a fresh bruise from last night when I spilled my glass of water and made my dad angry. She smiled.
Uh oh I thought I know where this is going.
"Looks like you were a big disappointment once again. Can't you ever do anything right?" She mocked
I could feel the tears stinging behind eyes, so I quickly turned around and started walking as fast as I could toward my home room, not bothering to look where I was going. All of a sudden I bumped into something hard. I looked up and the most beautiful person I've ever seen was smiling down at me. He had bright blonde hair swooped into a perfect undercut. He wore an Under Armor shirt that showed of his wonderfully toned muscles with black basketball shorts. I wasn't much for the sporty type but this guy was amazing.
"I-I'm really s-sorry," I managed to say
"It's fine," He said with a smile. His voice was so deep I almost melted.
I bent down and started to pick up the books that he dropped when I bumped into him. I stood back up and gave him his books back
"Hi, my name is Luke," He smiled again and extended his hand. I grasped his firm and strong and and shook it
"Uh, Tessa," I said,"My name is Tessa"
"I'll call you Tessie," He smiled again. Oh goodness, I loved his smile. His teeth were perfectly straight and unbelievably white.
"Um...okay," I said awkwardly
"So anyway I'm new here so could you maybe... show me around," He said shyly and looked at the ground
Is he blushing? I thought
"Yeah, sure," I said, blushing as well
"Cool."
I handed him his last book and we started walking down the hallway. As we were walking he slipped his hand into mine. I looked at him in surprised but he only smiled at me so I decided to accept it, finally someone who wouldn't ridicule me. I looked across the hall to see Stephanie glaring at me, but I just smirked and flipped her off with my free hand. She gasped and stomped off with her little group of whores following close behind and I laughed again.
"What's so funny?" Luke asked.
"Oh nothing," I replied and continued showing him around school.
