" beep beep beep beep"

I groaned as I sat up in bed trying to find the nuisance of an alarm I have set for school every morning. once I turn it off I lay back down closing my eyes when my friend Chloe texts me making me jump ten feet high.

c: I heard there's a new kid in town, maybe he's cute??

m: doubt it, in Ohio it's hard to find any cute boys.

c: let your guard down for once damn

I put the phone down after hitting shuffle on my playlist and "The Middle" by Jimmy Eat World comes on. I go into my bathroom connected to my room and take a quick shower. I decided to straighten my long brown hair and throw my bangs into a braid. I wing my eyeliner, and put on some mascara. I run down the stairs realizing its 7:50 and school starts at 8:00.

"BYE MOM LOVE YOU" I shout after slamming the door behind me.

I start my little red Prius that my mom had for many years before getting a new car and handing this one down to me.

sitting in the silence really takes my mind back to what Chloe said this morning, why do I always have my guard up. It's likely because Alex. The last guy I was in a relationship with. I threw my whole heart into him and I was so happy with him, until he cheated on me with my best friend Stacey. She was a bitch and she wanted what she couldn't have because she got everything in life. she took away my one happiness and I hate her. I haven't let anyone else in after the fear of having Stacey steal them too.

soon enough I arrive at school drifting out of my thoughts. I park in the student parking lot and run to the school making sure I'm not late. I quickly run to my locker trying to find the key in my backpack somewhere. when my body slams to the ground.

"Damn it, I'm sorry that was my fault I should've been looking" I say looking up at the dark brown eyes in front of me.

"it's fine, are you alright" the unfamiliar buy says, with a concerned look on his face.

"yeah yeah I'm alright." I say studying his face.

"what's your name?" he says following me to my locker.

"I'm Josh. I'm new here actually, I was home schooled but I figured for my senior year I would try public school." he says smiling down at me.

"if I were you I would've stayed in homeschooling the people here suck" i say laughing a little "and oh yeah I'm Molly" I say shaking his hand.

after small talk I finally arrive at my locker, grab a few things and shut the door.

"It was nice talking to you Josh, ill see you around?" I say smiling shyly.

"yeah, definitely" he says smiling widely while walking down the hall the opposite way from me.

I arrive to my math class as class starts, I'm a few minutes late.

"Molly where were you?" Mrs. Burns says quite sternly.

"I was, uh, at the bathroom. I'm sorry." I say awkwardly

a voice calls from the back

"She was too busy trying to make herself look pretty, when will she except the fact that no one wants her?!" Stacey says rolling her eyes.

I just look down and go to my seat.

"poor little baby, to bad Alex didn't want you. let's face it, you're ugly, I'm pretty. You're a meaningless human, and I'm what everyone wants." she says flipping her hair from her shoulder to her back quickly paying her attention back to the teacher.

"Molly. Detention after school. first you show up late, and now you're distracting the class." She says obviously mad.

I storm out as I feel the hot tears forming and that electricity feeling clogging my throat making it hard to breathe.

"Hi, do you know where Mrs. Burns room is I've been trying to find it for so long and I'm
lost I think" A voice says coming in my direction.

damn it, damn it I don't want to be bothered.

I wipe my tears quickly and flip my hair out of my face, and look up and see Josh.

"oh, hi josh." I say feeling awkward and embarrassed.

"what's wrong?" he says getting down on my level sitting next to me near the locker rooms.

"Nothing at all, no I'm fine actually just allergies" I say pointing to my teary eyes.

"oh, well if there's something else going on you can tell me." he says concerned.

"it's nothing just a few girls in my classes are really bitchy and ignorant towards me and I can't find the courage to stand up for myself half of the time." I say looking down at my feet.

"just learn to ignore them and act like you don't care. that's what I do and it makes them more mad and all you can do is just ignore them. if you can't speak out then find other outlets to push all the right buttons" Josh says obviously thinking of a time he can relate to.

"thanks Josh, I'll try that" I say looking up into his beautiful brown eyes. all the little black notches supporting all the brown, makes my heart want to scream. I've always loved brown eyes and the way they look like a melting sunset when the light shines through them, giving it a yellow glow. I snap out of my thoughts quickly.

"Molly?" Josh says, In a question tone.

"oh yeah sorry, what?" I say with my cheeks getting red.

"I think classes are ending soon, would you maybe want to do something later tonight? maybe after school" he says looking a little nervous.

"I would love to! but I have an after school detention" I say feeling a little disappointed in myself.

"it's fine, maybe another time?" he says looking around at th swarm of people coming, getting anxious.

"definitely!" I say smiling as he walks away quickly.

Hiiiii, so IDEK if I like this and if anyone will read it but if you do please vote and comment! I'll put the detention in the next chapter 😋
