Going under *Originally Drift*

Chapter 1

Walking out of class, I put my head down looking at my shoes, all around me I hear the usual name calling and snickering for the day,

“Oh look, she must have stolen the rolls from the bakery and stuck them to her stomach”

“Lardo has entered the building, every one run before she squishes us”

“Oh my god, it’s an earthquake, oh hang on, it’s just Skylar Grey walking”

It’s the same old thing every day, and I really have just given up on biting back and scooping to their level of low.

“Hey Skye” I hear my best friend, Lucy Grimmway yell out. I turn to look at her, she’s running towards me with a smile on her face, her long blond hair flowing behind her, I’ve always been jealous of how beautiful she is, she’s got the perfect features and most of all, she’s skinny.

“Hey Luce, what’s up” She gives me a small hug, because her arms can’t reach around my big waist.

“Guess who asked me out”

“Who”?

“Michael Jones” She squealed and I just smiled along, as usual she has ANOTHER date. It’s not really surprising, she has every guy running after her and falling at her feet.

“Wow, that’s great, when are you going”

“Tonight, but that’s not the big news, he has a friend and wanted me to bring you” I freeze.

“I don’t think that’s a very good idea Lucy” her smile weakened and she chewed on her bottom lip.

“Oh come on, live a little, it’s one night Skylar, please” She looked at me with her big, Brown eyes.

“Oh fine, what time?” She jumped up and down, clapping her hands like a seal.

“7, so look pretty, Bye honey” she ran to her car, got in and drove off. I begin walking home.

*10 MINUTES LATER*

I arrive home, breathing heavily and go up to my room, passing my mother who is passed out on the Couch, bottle in hand.

I shut my bedroom door and throw my bag in the corner, sighing, I go into my bathroom and take a long bath.

Doing the essentials, I grab a fluffy towel and wrap it around myself as much as I can, which isn’t a lot. I go to my Drawers and pick out undergarments and put them on. I pick out some long black leggings and a long - sleeve shirt. I guess I only like to wear black because, it is known to be slimming, yeah right.

I plug in my hair straightener and start putting on some light makeup, have to make myself look pretty somehow.

I finish with my hair and look at the time, 6:00 PM;it took me, 3 hours to get ready. Wow that’s never happened before.

*Ding Dong* I wince at the sound. I get up off my bed and sprint downstairs, hoping my mother is still passed out.

I get to the door to see her still lounging in the family room, I sigh in relief and open the door, smiling slightly as I see Lucy in a beautiful black camisole with a lace long – sleeve shirt over the top and some dark blue jeans.

“Hey, ready to go meet the guys?”  She has a big smile and is jumping with joy.

“Yeah, let’s go” I look back at my mother, hoping she hasn’t moved because I can tell she’s just going to ruin what’s been good of my night so far. I close the door behind me and follow Luce to her bright red Beetle, She’s so in love with it, she has pet names for it.
