Open Letter (Amity Affliction Story)

Chapter 1

"It's so quiet you can hear a pin drop, and that's when the whole world stops"

Fuck, why can't I get these lyrics right? I thought to myself. For years I've spend majority of my spare time attempting to write songs. I've written a few, none of them have ever been heard by anyone. Writing songs was a release to me, but no one seemed to understand that.

"Get up Courtney! You've got to get ready for school!" My mother yelled. It was only me and my mother. My father left when I was younger. Well, technically I left him. He was an asshole, I didn't want to be around him and his new family.

I packed away my song writing book aswell as all of my school books for the day. I got up off my bed, went to my wardrobe and threw on a pair of skinny jeans with a batman shirt. I really didn't care what I looked like.

I slowly made my way down the stairs with my bag drooping on my back. Today was not my day.

"Here's your lunch, here's your breakfast and I made your coffee. You've got 15 minutes." Mum spoke. "Thanks mum"

I walked out the door after saying goodbye to my mum, I threw my bag in the back of the car and made my way to school. I decided on playing Slipknot, Duality blared out of my speakers.

I arrived at school, as I went I to the carpark I noticed Stephanie staring at me, judging me. Her man candy Lochlan right next to her. They were perfect together, since they were both absolute assholes.

I made my way through school, completely ignoring the "popular" kids and went up to the music room. "I thought I'd find you here" Katelyn spoke. Katelyn is your typical girly girl. She has short dirty blonde hair, bright blue eyes and is the same height as me. She was one of my closest friends, you wouldn't really expect it seeing how different our personalities are.

"Hey Kate, how's things?" I asked. "Sam came over last night he was so cute! We watched a movie and I cuddled into him. I accidentally fell asleep on him aswell, whoops". Sam is Katelyn's boyfriend incase you didn't figure that out. He's a friend of mine, has been for awhile. Sam is tall, has extremely short dirty blonde hair and is half gamer half skater. He confuses me sometimes.

"That's cool Kate, I've actually got to talk to Timbsy so I'll see you later". Timbsy is my music teacher, one of the best. He's so kind and always has my back.

"Morning Timbs!" "Hey Courtney, how's The Middle coming along?" He asked. "Getting there slowly, my fingers are covered in blisters from playing bass too much." He laughed at that. Of course the bell had to ring. I said my goodbyes to Mr Timbs and was on my way to the hall.

After hearing the teachers ramble on about boring shit to do with the school I headed to my first class, English. I absolutely hated it. I couldn't wait for the hour to pass by. Second class, legal. This was something that I've had a strong opinion about. Always having class discussions about certain topics and cases. Finally, recess!

I walked on over to my oversized group, there's 20 of us. I don't know how we formed but we did, and it was one of the greatest things that's ever happened. "Well look who it is" Haden spoke. Haden really annoyed me, he was the school captain and seriously up himself. Just because he is pretty much an A grade student it doesn't mean his any better than us. "Shut up Haden" I spat back at him.

"Hey Court, seen any new cute guys lately?" Georgia asked. Georgia and I have been best friends since year 7, now we are in year 12 and still as close as ever. She's shorter than me and has long brown hair, she's absolutely stunning! "Haha very funny George, we all know this school has no hope whatsoever." I glanced over to the popular guys, they were extremely attractive and were playing rugby. I had my eyes on one guy in particular. His name is Jordan. His taller than me, extremely fit, short dirty blonde hair and the brightest blue eyes I've ever seen. He was model material. Believe it or not, Jordan and I were actually close friends. Therefore nothing would ever happen between us. He noticed me looking and stuck his middle finger up, charming isn't he?

The bell rang, I said my goodbyes and headed to my third class. Music.
