Pulse

{A/N: Hello. Okay so, "Pulse" is inspired by the tv show "Skins" (uk) Effy (Kaya) will play as Dakota. I don't know where this story will go so if it reminds you of the show, please don't think I'm trying to be slick and/or stealing anything. I just like the idea of skins so yaaaaaaa. Hope you enjoy Zayn in this (all the boys will be in this btw) and yeah comment, vote. I will try and frequently update :-) xo}

"Beautiful first-day-of-school attire." My mom sighs and goes back to scrabbling eggs. I roll my eyes and sit down. Im so tired I could feel my legs giving up the next time I stand up. School mornings are a drag. "You could always put me in like homeschooling." She shakes her head not wanting to talk about the subject of alternative schooling for the thousandth time. She ignores the conversation and talks about going to my dads for the weekend, and I slowly leave the kitchen not wanting to hear THAT conversation for the thousandth time.

I grab an already made bagel and head upstairs to my room.

Our new house is pretty nice, its spacious unlike our old shit. I click the home button on my phone and the screen says its 8:00, school doesnt start until 9:00. When I reach my room door, I hear my mom calling out my name. I ignore her and I grab my car keys off my dresser and walk pass my brothers room eyeing a bottle of vodka under his bed, he's sound asleep so I shrug, go into his room, grab it and take down a really sour burning swallow then another; it's not enough but whatever, it kinda feels nice.

I should wake him up but he came home pretty late so when I leave his room I lock it so mom or Jake doesn't finds him already skipping the first day of school...Our new school. So if they knock or whatever he has time to escape from the window or something. I laugh at the thought because I've seen it happen so many times. Also experiencing it. He might need to sleep off the hangover he probably has, I'm surprised he came home but Im glad he did.

As I head out of the house door I hear my mom say "I love you", I shout back back the same before shutting the door behind me. When I walk down the steps I see Mr. got-it-all aka mom's new husband that got us this house warming up his nice car. Jake walks towards me with his arms open, "Hope you have a nice day at school." I dont give him a hug and he doesnt look disspointed as he should, he awkwardly smiles and nods then finally walks towards inside the house.

I dont like him, I dont know why he keeps trying. He knows that as long as he sees me and I see him, I will hate him. I know its selfish, but he isnt my dad not that I would want him to be; but my dad should be doing all this dad stuff that 'Jake' tries to do for me and my brother. It doesnt seem fair to act as if his my dad or even step-dad. If my dad didnt fuck up, he would be here and our family would be a family. But since its not I dont like the idea of Jake around. But my moms happy with him so whats my opinion matter? I get into my car and start it and back out of the driveway.

The drive to my school is pretty lengthy and it takes me about 30 mintues when I get to the parking lot its already 8:45, giving me time to find my classes and locker. When I get out of my car, I get glares from the group of girls around a couple of boys beside me; I smile at them and start walking to the building.

As I walk through the parking lot into the school building. I see a kid infront of the building with a cigarette in his mouth and he looks at me. Our eyes meet and I cant read his face so I just kind of give him a presuading look before tearing our little moment to look down at my phone. His cute, I look back at him, his back is towards me now, talking to his friends. He has black hair, its not styled or anything; just looks effortlessly hot. His wearing a jean jacket with all kinds of stuff on it with dark jeans and nikes. Mhm.

As I get into the building, its bigger than I expected it to be and it takes me awhile to find the office to ask for some help getting to my classes. As I step in, a girl looking too cheery this early in the morning, greets me right when I walk in, "You must be Dakota! Hi!" I nod and she hugs me and I slightly return it, confused. "Im Jenna! I'll be walking you to your classes for the rest of the week and showing you around and sitting with you at lunch today. Your really pretty by the way!" She smiles, all her teeth shining. I smile back, "Thank you, I like your dress." The secertary behind the desk laughs and try's to hide it by picking up a fake call and I glare at her. "Thank you" Jenna gently says and grabs my hand out of the office.
