Broken Inside

Chapter 8

I woke up, at 6:00, to my alarm beeping very loudly. Today was going to be my first day at school at Pea Ridge High. (FUN FACT: that's the high school my dad had gone to lol) I got up and walked into the bathroom. I washed my face and applied moisturizer. After, I put on jeans, a sweatshirt and my converse.Then I started with my typical makeup routine, nothing special. Just foundation, concealer, mascara and blush. Honestly makeup was too much work. I went into the kitchen to get some breakfast, but Max had already beat me to it.

"Hey," I said.

"Morning. Are you ready for school?"

"No not really. I mean I don't even have my schedule."

"Mom hasn't given you your schedule?"

"Nope"

"I'll get it. I'll be right back. And don't worry, I'll show you around. Hopefully we have classes together." He told me as he walked out.

"So, we have all classes together!"

"Really? That will be fun!"

"Yeah! Oh we have 10 minutes then we need to go to the bus stop."

"You want cheerios?"

"Yeah"

I made 2 bowls cheerios for us to eat. We quickly ate, grabbed our backpacks and headed out the door. I was so happy Max was going to be in all my classes. Ivy must have done something. I silently thanked her in my head. Honestly, I am so glad that Ivy and Max saved me. I hate my father. I want to stay here forever but I also want to see my mother. I don't know where she is, but I want to conact her somehow.

As I followed Max onto the bus people were glaring at me.

"Just ignore them." Max whispered. I nodded in reply.

Max sat down and I sat next to him.

"Oooooh Maxy has a girl! Guess she's gonna suffer too!" a boy said. I turned around and saw him.

"Shut up plea-" Max nudged me before I could speak.

The rest of the way was quiet. Max and I just sat there.

"K everyone off!" the bus driver said.

As we were walking  to our lockers someone came up to us.

"Oh god. Wtf Max? How did you get a girl?" a boy said.

"Her name is Kylie. And I saved her." Max said. I could tell he was very scared.

"How tf did you save her?" he asked.

"Kylie cm'on I'll show you your locker," Max said ignoring the boy. As we walked off the boy laughed.

"Who is he? And why are they all so mean?" I asked.

"I don't know Kylie, but promise me you won't talk to them."

"Okay."

"So here's your locker and your combination."

"Thanks. So do we head to class right now?"

"Um sure,"

I stopped him, "Max why are they mean to you. What did you do? You're so different at home then at school."

"I can't tell you here. But I'll tell you at home, I promise." he gave a small reasuring smile. I smiled back.

We headed to class and another boy bumped into me.

"Oops. I'm SO sorry" (hint that was sarcasm) he smirked. But I ignored it and followed Max to class.

"And here is your first class. It's science with Mr. Fire. He's really ni-" he was cut off by a guy punching him.
