Alone

Chapter 1

"And the homework for tonight is to go home and study for the big test tomorrow! It is worth half of your grade!" Yells Mrs. Powers to the 25 high school junior students leaving her room just to walk down the hall into Mrs. Smith's room. All of these self centered high school kids, living their lives, not noticing anyone around them. Unlike me. I notice everyone around me. Every move they make, everything that they do. By the way, my name is Izzy. Izzy Bricker. I am the quiet type that likes to sit in the back of the class, and just draws.

"Oh, and Izzy,"Mrs.Powers says with a shakiness in her voice as if she is scared of me.

I turn around to face her. She is about four inches shorter than me so she has to look up and talk if she wants to talk directly to me."You are failing my class." she says it like there is something else going on that she won't tell me about.

"I am alway failing your class Mrs. Powers." I say like a smart ass.

"Yes, but you always could do your work, and turn it in on time to raise your grade up Ms. Bricker." she says with an aggravated tone.

"But if I did all of the homework that was assigned to me every single night, then I would never have time to eat, sleep, go on my phone, or watch TV. And all of that stuff is essential to my life. And homework comes after all of that stuff. And by the time I get home and do everything, I have no time for homework and I am really tired so I sleep." I say, starting to get really frustrated, to the point where I am actually giving effort for hand gestures.

"Well, you need to do your work or you will be doing summer school with me again." she says with beady eyes.

"Yeah, yeah." I say as I roll my eyes and turn to walk out the door.

As I walk out the door, I see Eli, my major crush, and I just stop. I start to think about that one day, I will tell him how I feel about him, and he will feel the exact same way, and we will get married, have babies, get old together, and then die. But that only happens in fairytales.

"Move out of my way weirdo." a jock named Brad says to me. We don't have football at our school so he goes to the nearest school that has a football team and plays for them but still goes to our school. But he still thinks that he is a big shot football star. (The truth is, he is a really mean kid that just likes to make others feel bad about themselves because he is a big pile of shit.)

"Hey douche bag. Why don't you actually use that small brain of yours, turn on your eyes, and look where you're going." I tell him in an aggressive voice.

"Hey bitch, you need to calm your titis and just deal with the fact that you are a nobody so nobody cares about you. I am a somebody, so everyone cares about me. So it is okay for me to shove you, but it is definitely not okay for you to talk back to me. It's not even okay for you to talk to me." he says like he is trying to impress his friends, but all of his friends gasped when he told me that.

"Yeah, well listen up ass-hole and listen well. I am only going to tell you this once. You don't want to mess with me because I will end you. I will cut off your penius, shove it down your throat, stab you in the chest, and then rip your guts out." I say absolutely serious. Brad's face just dropped and he was speechless. "So are we clear?" I say as I cross my arms.

Brad just nodded his head and went into Mrs. Powers room with all of his friends and I walk into Mrs. Smith's room alone.

I walk in, and sit down in my normal spot. Nobody noticed that I was a few minutes late. Mrs. Smith wasn't even in the room, so now I didn't have to come up with a fake excuse for why I was late.

My best friend Tina sits right next to me, and of course she noticed that I was late.

"Where were you Izzy? Why were you late to class?" she asks me. I can tell that she wants to ask the rest of her billion and one questions but she stops because she can tell that I am extremely pissed. She also looks at me like I just murdered someone, got rid of the body, and then came back to class.

"I had a bit of trouble with someone in the hall on my walk here, so I had to put an end to it all. And now I don't have to worry about it anymore." I say with a smirk on my face, but still a little pissed. She asked no more questions after that.

All during class, I could only stare at Eli, (it is very convenient since he sits right across from me.)

After class, I see Bianca, Eil's girlfriend, running at Eli. She jumps into his arms, and he holds her in the air while they do a long, long kiss.

"I missed you so much honey boo." Bianca said with big, fake puppy dog eyes. "Did you miss me?" her tone turned really aggressively.

"Yes of course babe." Eli says with a questionable voice.

"You are coming over tonight right?" Bianca asks, even though she know the answer.

"Yes of course." Eli says, with the smile in his eyes he always has.

When I see all of this go on right in front of me, I just go into a blinding anger. I have liked him since we first met. He was charming, kind, funny, and one of the only boys who would ever include me in elementary school. But once we got into middle school, he started to ignore me, and I started to fall into the black hole that has consumed me now.

As they walk out to their cars, I follow them. Eli got into his car, Bianca got into hers, and I got into mine without being noticed. Eli turned to go toward the library (he always goes there right after school either to play dungeon and dragons (D&D) or to study) Bianca turned to go to her own house, and I followed.
