Little Wallflower

Chapter 1-School

Almost 17 years later.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Two days before Christmas Eve. The last day until winter break. Everyone is excited and filled with joy for the holiday season. Everyone except for Serenity. As everyone forgets her birthday.

Serenity's life has been filled with ups and downs. She gets excellent grades in school because she genuinely enjoys school. She's cheer captain, and dating the star quarter back. She has lots of friends. Those are all the ups. The downs are not clearly visible to the average eye, but the Serenity's...they are clear as crystal glass.

Her family despises her. Her mom, a alcoholic and abusvie. Her dad, controlling, abusive, and cold. Her oldest sister, twenty five year old Bethany, doesn't care about anyone but her self and it's a brat. Her other sister, twenty one year Lyla, is only at college to party, meet boys, get drunk, have sex, and her parents are paying for it. Finally her younger brother, fourteen year old Tanner, the biggest fuckboy you'll ever meet.

Her friends are worse. Serenity has three "friends" who, like her, are rich and powerful. Unlike her, are mean, selfish and crude. They always pick on the weak, but Serenity always stand up for them. Tiffany Coyle is the queen bee. Ashlyn Parker is the brawn, willing the beat anyone up. Gianna Jones the brain, always coming up with ideas to destroy people's social lives. The only reason why they are friend with Serenity is because she's the richest out of all of them.

The worst of all is her boyfriend, James Garfield. He is the star of the football team, has everyone's drama, and cheats on Serenity behind her back. He is nasty to Serenity and is only dating her because, you guessed it, she's rich.

Serenity feels like she can't escape anything, even if she tried.

Serenity wakes up at 5:25 am. She gets up, makes her self breakfast, takes a shower and gets ready for the day. The reason why she wakes up so early is because she has cheer practice early in the morning and has to get there on time.
She turn on Spotify and turns on her favorite music, alternative, pop punk, and rock. As Blink-182 blasts in her bathroom, she gets dressed with a pastel pink sweater, skinny jeans, Ugg boots, and to top it off, a little lipstick and stuff mascara. She grabs her cheer bag, school bag, and her lunch and head out.

She refuses to use her car because she doesn't like to pollute to earth. But since it's snowing she decides to take her yellow hummer. She drives while she blast Panic! At The Disco. She sings along until she gets to school. She sighs and gets all of her stuff and heads inside.

Cheer practice is a bore, as always. After practice she quickly gets changed into her comfortable clothes. She enjoys school and excels. She doesn't mind what her friend say, she just wants to do good. After fifth period she has lunch. She meets up with Tiffany, Ashlyn, and Gianna at there table. Once she arrives they give her dirty looks

"What the fuck are you wearing" Tiffany exclaims in disgust, as her minions laugh. Serenity looks down at her pink sweater "It's a pink sweater..." She says confused

"It's Thrusday retard" Ashlyn says with attitude. "On Thrusdays, we wear blue." Gianna says laughing "Gid your such a fucking idiot." Tiffany says rolling her eyes.

Serenity looks down at her outfit. Then at the girls. She blushes and sits down, "sorry I was in a rush," she says opening her lunch. She looks at her friends

Tiffany has poker straight blonde hair, bright blue eyes, white complex, fit and beautiful.

Ashlyn has wavy brown hair, beautiful gray eyes, tan skin, fit....and beautiful.

Gianna has curly black hair, the most beautiful brown eyes, chocolate skin, fit and....beautiful.

Serenity then thinks about herself:

Beach wave red hair, bright green eyes, freckles, some pimples, fit, but a little chubby, and ugly.

She then remembers her gift for them. She gets out the pink bag with the presents. "Everyone close your eyes!" She say excitedly. She pulls out the hand-made, bracelets she made two weeks ago. She was so proud of them that she was bursting with excitement

They all look at them in confusion and disgust. After what seems like forever, Tiffany loses it. She is hysterical laughing

"What is this garbage!?" She ask with tear coming out of eyes laughing. "With someone who has a lot of money, you would expect nice gifts." She say throwing out the bracelet. Ashley and Gianna do the same

"You know Serenity," Gianna says smirking, "You act like a wallflower, always riding her bike and a vegetarian and never going to parties. Act like your label" she snarls at her.

They walk away laughing. Serenity holds back tears as she gathers her things and goes forward with her day.

She's in the school library during her free period, when her boyfriend, James, pins her against the books and starts making out with her.

"James...James...James Hamilton Garfield!" She says in her whisper yell voice. James backs away and smirks at her.

"Come on babe I know you love it." He says holding her waist, forcing himself on to her. He says that she's holding a book and takes it out of her hands

"Hey give that back!" She says jumping to get it as he waves it around

"To Kill a Mocking Bird?? What is this shit? You should be reading magazine!" He says laughing as he gives it to her aggressively. "You're such a dork...my dork..don't you forget that!" He says warningly and walks away.

Serenity walks to her car at the end of the day, alone. She gets into her car and drives to her favorite cafe. She orders the usual, Jelly Bean Crème Latte. She has to admit that the barista,  Jasper, is pretty cute. She smiles at him and he flashes his pearly white smile, bright blue eyes and obviously dyed black hair. She wishes she had the confidence to dye her hair.

She gets into her car and drives halfway to her house. She stops the car. She breathes in and out. She breaks. She wishes should could start over. She wants to be the Little Wallflower she knows she always was.
