Dani

I opened my eyes on thing went straight in my mind, everything is back to normal AND I'm still sleepy. The party last night ended at 3 am which only gave me four hours of sleep. Mom even insisted that I should just skip class today, but I said no. It's not my thing to skip class. Not my sleepy mind can stop me.

I jumped off my bed and went to take a shower, then went to my closet and grab a big shirt which almost reach my knees and ripped skinny jeans. I pulled my hair into a messy ponytail and wore my glasses and went downstairs. I decided to eat an apple for breakfast because they said that an apple is better than coffee to wake you up, and it really works on me and I am also running late so I do not have enough time to eat a proper meal.

I grabbed my backpack and went to the garage to get my bike since school is just ten blocks away. I left without saying goodbye to the people inside the house, which is obviously are all wasted last night. Good thing I didn't drink much.

I arrived school and lock my bike to the bicycle parking area. Sigh. This is it. Another day as Dani Reights, an ordinary student.

I walk to the halls with my head down because at school I'm a shy and a quiet girl, but when I'm Maxine Hoodford, confidence possesses all over me. Too confident to be exact. I went to my locker which happens to be next to Jackson's locker. That's one of the reasons why people bully me, especially the cheerleading team, because their "Prince Jackson's" locker is next to mine. I mean what's wrong with them?! It's just a locker for Pete's sake!

I opened my locker and grabbed my books for the morning schedule. I wish class ends soon because I badly need some sleep. I slapped myself to wake me up a little bit. I was about to leave when Addison, the queen of the cheerleading team, according to others, came, together with her minions. Oh boy! Can someone spare me a day not to seeing these clown faces?!

"I still don't get it Jane. Why the school accepted some ugly looser here? Are they even thinking that it might ruin the school's image if some ugly looser studies here?" Addison said in her very annoying girly voice. I really want to choke her to death right now because her voice is ripping my ear drums! AND obviously they are referring to me. I was about to speak when someone cut me off.

"Girls. If you don't have anything good to say, just leave. I'm in a very bad mood right now, and you don't want to see me in a bad mood right?" the girls were shocked and so do I. I mean Jackson came out of nowhere, how do you expect people to react?

Okay. I know you guys are a quite confused, but let me tell you this. Jackson is famous in our school, and he doesn't talk much. He only talks once in a blue moon. And I know it's weird. And you are very lucky if he talks to you, just like me. I was very lucky last night that I didn't just talked to him, but also he was my escort for the entire night.

I was about to leave when he spoke. "Did they hurt you?" Wow. This is quite unexpected. I turned to him and was about to answer his question but to my disappointment, he wasn't talking to me, but to the person who is speaking through his phone. Ouch. I was kind of assuming.

Sigh. I started walking away then went to my first class, History. As I reached the room, I immediately sat down to my usual seat. At the back corner near the window. After a while, our professor came then gave us a surprise quiz. Well, I was not surprised at all.

***

My morning went well. I think. Well, maybe not. I almost fell asleep on my Literature class, good thing our professor didn't caught me. I should have just agreed to mom to skip school today.

I went to the cafeteria to eat lunch because I'm really starving to death. I should have just ate a proper meal this morning. I ordered a steak and mango shake. I sat down to my usual spot at the corner, and ate silently. Moments later, two trays were placed on my table. Germaine and Tori, my two best friends, well more of like sisters.
