Fuck.

The weekend is over. Was all I could think of when my alarm started going off. Tapping the snooze button I curled back in to my covers groaning. Just five more minutes. Before I knew it the five minutes had passed and my alarm went off again.

Fine. Ok. I'll get up! I turned it off and sitting up in my bed looking at my phone in the process checking the time 6:30 am. and all my notifications. Nothing really interesting.

Getting completely out of bed I took my hair out of its messy bun from last night so it can air dry a bit more so I don't kill my hair so much this morning. I opened my closet looking at its contents. I found some black skinny jeans with slits at the knees.

I looked out the window to see it was pretty windy and cloudy. I guess I'm going to wear long sleeve today. Choosing a red knit long sleeve I got dressed.

Done. Now makeup. It's school so eyeliner and mascara it is. When I finished with that I did my hair the usual, blow dry what ever is still wet and then straighten it.

Almost done with my hair.

I heard a knock on my door and my mom opened it slightly "Mija you need to hurry you don't want to be late." She paused for a moment opening the door a bit more so I can see that she's almost done getting ready herself for work and continued. "Remember you're still new to the school it's only been three and a half months since we moved here. You can't let them think you're lazy now."

"Yeh I'm almost done just one more sec. I'll be out right now." With that she closed my door and left me to finish getting ready.

I got out of my desk chair put on my shoes, grabbed my bag, my jacket and headed out of my room. Walking into the kitchen I set my bag down. I pored myself a glass of cold water and made my self some scrambled eggs. I finished up and went to the bathroom to brush my teeth and all that jazz.

"Mom I'm leaving! I love you." I yelled taking hold of my bag and slinging it on my shoulder. I heard a faint "Ok. I love you too." Getting my keys off the hook near the door I was off to a place where most teens would call hell and they are absolutely right. Who ever disagrees with that statement are fucking psychopaths! Enough said.

Ok. So a little bit more about me. My name is Esmeralda, Esmi for short. I'm 5'4. I've got light brown hair, about shoulder length.

Yes I did recently move here. Here? You may ask. It's a place in Oregon named Molalla. (AN: yes this is an actual place in Oregon I'm not making it up I don't live there but I do visit from time to time so what I'm going to say about it is kinda true but not fully so yeh..) Everybody knows everyone here so when me and my family moved in to town guess who everyone was talking about.. Yep you guessed it! Me!

I've made a few friends here at school but really only in my classes, outside of class I do my own thing. Yes people think I'm weird but they don't know me that much if anything at all so I could guess why.

Actually there is one person that does talk to outside of classes every now and then. Alexa is her name she's pretty cool. I guess. As cool as the only person that wants to talk to you and wants to get to know you can get. But that's ok.

I actually think she's in every single club and after school activity that there is here at Molalla High School. She's kinda sorta a happy-go-lucky person I haven't really seen her stop smiling. It does creep me out a bit. I don't care though at least I have someone that wants to talk to me and that's good enough for me. Specially because I haven't found the right place for me just yet. I'm in no rush though it can take me to the rest of the year if it has to I'm just trying to focus on school. You know.. So I can get out!

It took about ten minutes for me to get to school and park. I noticed Alexa and waved to her as I walked to my locker grabbed my books for my first class that so happens to be math. Algebra II is going to be the death of me I swear.

I had all my classes today all six classes and and every damn one of my teachers decided to give out home work so far. But now it's lunch.

I'm sitting alone at a table minding my own business. All of a sudden the sound in the cafeteria went from screaming and yelling across the room to silent chatters I don't pay mind to any of what's going on though because I was working on all that damn homework so I don't have so much to do when I got home.

I was so concentrated on doing my work I didn't notice that someone had sat directly across from me. When I did notice though I noticed the silence and everything around me. What the fuck?

I looked up to see a stranger, a face I don't recognise from walking in the halls. He was starring me right in the eyes. They were just like mine. Brown. His hair in tiny curls with blond tips. He was cute I'll admit that but I'm so confused at the moment no one ever comes and sits with me during lunch. I really have this hunch that people are scared of me.. But they shouldn't I'm not mean. Like at all.

"Umm.. Hi?" Was all I could say.

"Hello." He simply stated.

"Can I help you with anything?" I asked politely. Mama didn't raise me to be disrespectful.

"No. I.. I just thought that you might want some company.. Cause you know your sitting here all alone." He explained.

"I was doing homework. So I really didn't need the company but thank you!" I said as nice as possible so he wouldn't think I was being rude. "You can stay if you like but I really want to get this done so I won't talk to you much."

"No no no. Get back to work I don't want to be a bother I'll see you around though." He said getting out of the seat in front of me. "I'm Jc by the way."

"Esmi." I said and he walked off.

Jc.. Hum.. I'll remember that.
