Damn. He's falling for the good girl

Chapter 2

Madison's Pov

New city, new life, new school...Again. This isn't the first time we've moved, it's just whenever my mum's relationships falls through, we up it and leave. I don't really miss anybody because I have no friends. We never stay in one place long enough for anything so I don't see the point in getting attached anymore. It hurt at first when I had to keep leaving places, but ever since my dad walked out on us when I was 9, not much fazed me. Mum on the other hand, well, she was an emotional wreck.

Sure it got lonely, with mum being at work at every new job, me being surrounded by boxes stacked everywhere. I don't mind the solitude, but when it comes to public places it's a little harder to cope. You see, when you're on your own for so long, it gets harder to keep conversation. But today is the first day of school..for me. It was just my luck that we had to move half way through the semester.

Another day of being the new girl. 'New girl' I thought bitterly, always the new girl. Nobody bothered to learn my name, I was like ghost in a way. My presence was there, but nobody took notice. I was already enrolled at school since we first arrived, mum thought it would be less trouble than doing it on my first day. I rolled my eyes at the thought, she just didn't want me to get in the way of her business life. I skipped up the stairs, trailing my hand along the wall. I walked into my empty bedroom, a few boxes in the corner. I pulled out some clothes for tomorrow, put them on top of the box then jumped onto the bed. Sleep encased me instantly and I fell into the dark abyss which I loved so much.

I woke up horrendously early due to my phone alarm. I stretched and made some form of inhuman noise whilst dragging myself out of bed. I showered, combed my hair, pulled on clothes and was out the door on record time. With my bag on my shoulder, I set off towards my new school.

This year I will no longer just be 'the new girl'. I was determined to make myself known, but in the good way.

I will be Madison Parker, a strong, independent, 17 year old girl. I will make friends, go to school dances, get good grades and rely on no-one. This year will be mine.
