Breaking Glass

Chapter 1

*Excuse the brief nudity, I just found that this picture shows her curves to the fullest*

The sound of my old alarm clock blaring it's alarm right in my ear had me jerking up and slamming my hand on the snooze button. I leaned forward and covered my eyes with my hands and groaned, wiping of the small eye boogers that nested there. I tossed my large green quilt to the side, freeing my legs to the frigid air of January. When my feet touched my soft beige carpet I mentally sighed of pleasure, happy that my mother changed from the hard wooden floorboards to a nice, soft carpet. I stood up and stretched, arching my back as I let out a long groan.

I walked over to my large walk in closet and pulled out a white T-shirt, then a blue jean vest to go on top. Grabbing my dark blue Old Navy jeans and tugging them over my short legs. I reached down and grabbed my hunter green combat boots and laced them up. Fixing my shoulder length, wavy brown hair so it is fixed over my shoulder. Walking back over to my black and white checkered print bag and pulling it over my other shoulder, then fixing the other strap so it was held by both.

I turned off my light and walked into my bathroom, brushed my teeth, and walked downstairs to greet my mom in the kitchen. She stood against the counter with a fresh mug of coffee, the glass mug designed with John Wayne's face and a quote said by him "A man's got to do what a man's got to do." Old westerns have always been a favorite in my family. I walked up and gave her a small kiss on the cheek and grabbed a small bowl, poured some cereal and ate a few bites before I became 'full'. My mom looked at me before giving her signature smile.

"I see you've been going on the diet that I recommended to you." I looked up and gave her a small nod.

"Yeah, I wanted to try it." I heard her give a small laugh before hearing the clank of the glass mug being sat on the counter.

"Well, we better drop you off at school now, you have 10 minutes." I stood up and fixed my bag before following her outside to our red Honda. I opened the passenger door and climbed inside the grey seating. She turned on the heat and pulled out of the drive, our house was on a small block, the houses a few feet between each other. It was a two story house with a large balcony on the second floor, a small cement patio on the first for the porch, a small hammock connected to two small pillars, sturdy enough up to 400lbs. Two large windows that arched outside, centering a brown door.

The color was a pale yellow, the inside painted white, a small living room connected to the kitchen, no doors separating them. One velvet recliner next to a black couch, able to sit over 6 people. A large flat screen T.V hung on the wall over the small fireplace. A small glass table with round coasters for drinks. The kitchen tiled with a dishwasher, electric stove, black microwave, white icebox with the famous ability to crush ice.

The ride to my small school was shorter than usual, the small loop that the parents took to drop of their kids was empty, which means either everyone was already here, or school started late. Pulling up to the small steps that went under a small tin roof, my mother stopped the car and looked st me.

"Remember, you have practice after school today." I inwardly groaned, every day after school I sit in the living room with my mother, listening to her tell me how I need to practice things to be better, even though she means good, I can't stand it.

"I know mother, I'll ride the bus home again." She gave a nod, signaling that I can leave. I opened the door and stepped outside, hugging my black and red hoodie over my arms as I walked down the ramp and to the two large glass door leading inside the small one story building.

Opening the door and sliding in past it, careful not to snag my foot against the heavy door. Walking down the hallway and to the cafeteria I could hear the loud laughter of the freshman and up. Walking inside I notice that my table is empty, hurrying over I take a seat and pull out my phone, putting it on shuffle I listen to my music as I begin to study some of my study guides for the quizzes that I will take at the end of the week.

"Ara!" I look up to see Derica and Tammy make their way towards me, tossing their bags on the table able and sitting down across from me.

"Yes?" They both looked at each other then back at me.

"Do you want to tell her?" I looked at Derica, her face was pale, but that was normal, her bright blue eyes shown under her full eyelashes.

"Nah, you go ahead." Tammy smiled at her then turned back towards me.

"Will you spit it out already?" I was beginning to loose my patience, they did this all the time, creating suspense, it drove me over the edge.

"Fine," Tammy said as she scooted closer to the table, the small chair screeching across the time floor "we heard from a very valuable source that we will be receiving a new student by the end of this week."

"And I care why?"

She gave me a look before Derica continued "Drop it Tam, she never does, remember?"

Realization dawned on Tammy's face as she smirked at her then glared at me. "Oh! How could I forget, a loner never does." They both looked at me with their smug faces before breaking into a fit of laughter.

"We're kidding! Omg did you see her face?" I rolled my eyes and continued to study until the bell rang, signaling for us to get to class.

I stood up and walked past them and into the hallway, heading to my first hour, since I'm a senior it's pretty easy, especially since I've finished all my math and history credits.

I stood in front of my locker and grabbed my Family and Consumer Science books and shut it, walking into the classroom and sitting in my normal seat.

There were only 5 of us in this small class, thank goodness. I'm not really a big group kind of person.

We do our normal "write the quote down" routine before we get to the actual assignment, writing down our ideal husband, pretend that we are married for god knows how long, then eventually plan out our dream marriage.

When the bell rung I walked put and deposited my stuff into my Locker again before heading to my next hour.
