Marilyn High ✅

Chapter 1

Marilyn High School was a difficult school to get into, it was also a private school for kids who were smarter than most. I applied for it when I was in middle school. Now I'm a sophomore. I'm surprised I even got in. I also heard a lot of people who go to that school disappear and that's what made my parents rethink about letting me go.

"Mom, please! I'll be careful. I promise."

"Honey, I know it's hard to get into that private school but my and your father just don't think it's safe there." My mom said sympathetically.

"Dad, come on. You always talked about me getting into that school. Now that I applied and I was accepted, I can't even go!" I yelled.

"Lower your voice. And we are still thinking things over. Why don't you go hang out with Jenna or Emma?" My dad sounded frustrated. Well so was I.

"Whatever. I'll go." I grabbed my school bag and phone. Before I walked out the door, I yelled, "Maybe I'll go hang out with Luke!"

My dad yelled back, "You better not be going over to his house."

"It was a joke dad. He's out of town." I slammed the door and walked to my car.

It roared to life and I pulled out of the driveway. It was summer and I honestly couldn't wait for school to start. School had always been easy for me. I just missed my friends. We hardly ever hung out during the summers. Mostly because they went to see family out of state, or they went on Vacation for the whole summer. I stopped at a stoplight and opened my texting app and texted Luke.

Isabella: Hey, can I come over?

Luke: Yeah. I have nothing better to do.

Isabella: Cool, thx. I'll be there in 5 minutes.

The light flashed green and I pushed the gas pedal. Luke had always been a good friend of mine. My parents had no problem with him until Junior year when he got into drugs and became a "bad boy". Of course me being a typical teenage girl, who didn't know what she liked, I liked him. Maybe halfway through that year, he kissed me. We never really dated though. We became what you'd call friends with benefits. I had Luke come over one day and we started to make out and my dad came in and things went downhill from there. It doesn't help that my dad was a police officer and that my dad caught Luke smoking weed with his friends. My parents banned me from seeing him which was probably a good thing. I still went to his house every now and then. Just to secretly piss them off. I parked my car in his driveway and walked into the house. Luke was waiting on the steps that lead upstairs.

"Hey Bells." He got up and hugged me.

I hugged him back, "Hey Luke. How ya been?"

"Good," He maliciously smiled, "My parents found out I was smoking. Their reaction was classical."

I shook my head.

"What? It was funny. They thought I had just started."

"Mhm, I'm going to upstairs." I walked up the stairs.

Luke followed me, "ooh, you wanna go to the bed. I'm cool with that."

I stopped and looked behind me. He had a goofy smiled plastered across his face, "I didn't come here for that. Nasty ass." I looked forwards and walked to his room.

I plopped down on the bed and he sat next to me, "Hey, I'm up for anything you wanna do." He smiled.

"Talking?"

"Sure." He shrugged. That's what I liked about Luke, he got sexual, but he knew when he was supposed to stop.

"So, what'd your parents say to Marilyn High?"

"They're still thinking about it."

"Really? Well, I guess I wouldn't want my daughter going to a private school that has a kidnapper/murderer."

"Yeah, but they always wanted me to go there. Now I'm accepted and they probably won't let me go."

"Yeah. Remember when my parents thought I was getting into that school." He laughed.

"You know. You could've gotten into that school."

"I'm not smart Bells. You should know that by now."

"Well Luke, you may not make the best decisions, but you are actually very smart. They only thing that's stopping you from going to that school is your buddies and yourself."

"Why my friends and I?"

"They keep supplying you with the drugs and you keep accepting it. Do you ever wonder what you might be if you quit?"

"Yeah, I've been thinking about that a lot. I really have. Maybe I'd actually have a girlfriend, and I'd go to Marilyn High, and my parents wouldn't think I was complete trash."

"One, that's probably what would've happened. Two, your parents don't think your trash, mine do. Yours are disappointed in you. There's a difference. And really a girlfriend? That doesn't sound like you."

"Maybe. And that is a good point, I even remember your dad calling me trash. Yeah, I do kinda want a girlfriend. The only problem is the girls I like are sluts so they don't want a relationship or they're actually good but they don't want to date me because of my drug addiction I don't want to change." He shrugged.

"Who's the good girl?"

"You dumbass."

"Right. I should've known that."

"Also, you're a slut."

"Awe thank you." I flipped him off. He leaned in and kissed me.

*Late at night*

My parents are going to be pissed, I didn't care though. Luke and I did nothing really. I just needed someone to vent to and I was getting annoyed by my parents. I locked my car and walked up to the porch. My parents were waiting outside. They didn't look so happy.

"I'm home."

"What has gotten into you?" My mom said.

"Huh?"

"You...you used to come on before dark and you were always nice and now...look at you. Hanging out with God knows who til midnight?"

"I'm 16 and I need to live a little bit. Plus it's summer."

"That doesn't mean you need to stay out until Midnight. I was about to report you missing." My dad scolded.

"Look, I'm tired and I've had a long enough day. I went and saw a movie with Jenna. Next time I'll tell you I'm going to be out late. I promise."

"Fine. Go to bed." My mom motioned for me to go inside.

"Planned on it." I walked to my room and before I closed my door my mom said something that made my day.

"Oh, and we're letting you go to the Private school. Night."

I peeked my head out the door and smiled, "Night."

A/N: well, my first chapter of this book. Yay! I know it doesn't really sound scary/murderous, but it will sooner or later. This is also my first horror book. No hating bro. I should be posting every week or two. It all depends. I'm writing this is in the summer, but I'll be posting when school starts. Hopefully, it'll get better as I write. Lol peace ✌.
