My Demons

The next day

It was the next day and the sun was shining in my face. The entire house was silent. I was hoping that my step dad was out. When I came out of my room, I saw he was. I could almost be happy. School is gonna start soon so I start getting ready. After looking in my closet, I decided to wear jeans, a tank top and a cardigan. I quickly pull my hair in a ponytail and put some eyeliner on. "That will have to do." I say to myself. Walking out the door I grab a poptart and my keys. School is only a walk away. I actually enjoy the quiet time for myself. School isn't very fun, but it's the one place I can feel safe. He can't touch me there. That is the part I love the most. My grades are excellent even though life at home is hard. I use my schoolwork as an escape, it helps with the pain.
I walk into first period and take my seat. My seat is at the back of the room, I chose the seat because its far from everyone else. They don't try to talk to me, to them, I am the broken girl.
As class begins, the office calls my teacher, Mrs. Murphy, to ask if they can see me. She tells them yes and dismisses me. As I'm walking down the hallway, I'm thinking of what they could want. I haven't done anything wrong, I never do anything wrong. By the time I get to the office, I am worried. But that worry quickly flutters away when I see him..
He looks perfect, like an angel. He is tall and has these amazing green eyes, his hair is brown and extremely curly. When he looks into my eyes I feel safe. No one has made me feel that way in a long time.
"Ahh Ms. Jennings, the principal is waiting for you."
"Thank you, I will go straight back."
The principal, Mr. Wright, is extremely nice. He is always worried about me, yet he never really does anything to help me.
"Ms. Jennings! I'm so glad to see you. I have a little favor I would like to ask you. We have a new student, as you might have seen. He needs someone to show him around. I think you would be the perfect person to do that. You are one of our brightest students. Will you do it?"
"Of course I will! I would be happy to do it. He seems like a really nice guy. What is his name?"
"Harry. Harry Styles. He is an amazing kid!"
Well I guess I better start showing Harry around. It was nice talking to you."
"It was nice talking to you too! Don't be a stranger!"
As I walk out of Mr. Wrights office, I think to myself, this may be fun!
"Hi Harry, my name is Thalia and I will be your own personal tour guide!"
"Hey Thalia, its so nice to meet you. Has anyone ever told you that your eyes are gorgeous?"
In that moment I knew my life was going to change. I just didn't know how much it was going to change.
