Alices POV
----------------------
After I clean up the blood I hurry to the kitchen table. The food on my plate doesn't even sound good and my appetite is suddenly gone. " Whats wrong with you this morning?" My dad asks.
" I don't know I'm just getting used to the house... I wish mom was here." I say slowly. Dad looks at me and for a moment I see a pit of happiness in his eyes. " Yes. I think we all want her here." he kisses my forehead and heads towards the door. " I will get home around 4:00pm. I know its later than usual, but the business needs me." He says slipping his shoes on. " Have a good day at school!!!" He says walking out the door. " You too" I whisper.
My fork never finds its way to my mouth so I just put it in the sink. I walk up to my room grabbing a towel and clothes and head to the bathroom. The water coming out of the tub turns brown from the rust but then goes to clear normal water. The water pounds on my back while I day dream. My body is numb from the steaming hot water but it feels fine. I feel nothing just the steamy air filling my lungs.
My hands scrub the soap out of my hair quickly so I wont be late. My body shivers from the cold air when I get out, so I rush towards the towel and dry off. I look in the mirror seeing my reflection. My pail white skin almost see through. My hair wet and messy. I notice I'm crying when I see my eyes.
I pat the tears away with my towel and get in my clothes. The dress flows down my body clinging my chest and waist a little. I brush my hair and teeth then put on my hat.
I walk down stairs grab my bag and put on my Northface and sandals and head out. The cold from outside hits me right when I open the front door. I look at the map of the town I have and start walking through the trail. Walking through the woods every morning for school doesn't sound that pleasant.
After a mile I finally see a bus stop. I sit at the bench rubbing my feet regretting wearing these shoes.
The bus arrives and I hand him a coin. I look around and sit seeing the town go past me as the bus ventures on.
It feels like forever but we finally get to the front of the school grounds.The kids scramble towards the bus doors trying to get off. " HEY!! " Somebody says as I tumble to the ground. The dirt on the bus floor smears on to my dress. I wince in pain as the cut made just now gets dirt into it.
" You okay?" The voice said. It made my heart skip a beat. The voice was deep and smooth. Flowing out of there lips and hitting my ear drum.
" Ummm..." I say feeling embarresed and I feel my cheeks heat up.
I look up to see the figure and his features are amazing...
His dirty blonde hair looks perfect and his skin looks so smooth.
" You droowling?" he says laughing.
"Um sorry." I wipe the drool off the side of my lip. He smiles and helps me get up.
" You took a pretty narly fall." He said as we walked off the bus. We walk towards the school and i look around the area. " So how long have you been here" I ask. He pauses to think for a bit. "Ive been here for like 4 years..." He says. "Where you from?" He asks looking at me. " Decatur IL." He looks at me with a confused face. " Ive never heard of Decatur." I laugh a bit. " Well thats your problem."
As we walk a bit more people give me nasty looks. I look at the ground. " My names Carter by the way" He says. " Oh..." I whisper. As we keep walking he nudges me.. " What?" He looks at me and smirks. "Whats your name?..." He says "Oh my name is Alice." He nods his head and he starts walking away. " Where are you going" I yell towards him. " He points at the clock. CLASS. I run up the stairs and people look at me funny. Why isnt everyone running. What? " Alice!!!" I turn around and see Carter. " Why are you running?" He asks. " Class..." i say... " Its only 7:58" he says... I look. "Why did you point to it?" "Well i pointed to my locker not the clock...." Ugh im dumb.
A few min. later its time to go to class. I walk slowly trying to avoid getting hit. Sounds of footsteps fill my ears. I step into class and all eyes are on me. I look for a seat and see one in the back. I step over backpacks lunch boxes and other items as i stumble towards the seat. After almost tripping over items i finally get over to the seat. As i sit there quitely i hear giggling... I look over to see Girls looking at me and laughing and pointing. I look at my dress and see nothing wrong. I keep my head down for most of the hour.
