Chapter 4

  (Mercy's P.O.V)

   *End of Winter Vacation*

  I woke up by my phone blaring out 'Toxic' by Britney Spears. I smiled, then remembered.

        'Ah shit, I have school,' I thought.

   I groaned, the threw the sheets off of my warm body. I got up, shaking off the dizziness of the morning. I took a quick shower, then roamed through my closet, trying to find decent enough outfit.

  After three minutes, I decided to go with dark blue skinny jeans and a red-hearted crop top. Since  let NO ONE see my body, I put a gray baggy jacket. I brushed my hair throughly, put on my glasses, since I'll only use my contacts when I'm in dance or boxing class. Which I never let anyone see, until now.

  Yes, I switched to advanced dqnce class. I brushed my teeth throughly, now WITHOUT my braces. I smiled widely, put on ny perfume, then headed downstairs.

  Blueberries permanated through the air, causing my mouth to water. I sit on my usual seat on the dining table, then stared at my pancakes in front of me. The  saw a note next to it. It read:

  Hey Merc, I've gone to work early and decided to make you pancakes before I leave. Love you and have fun at school! P.S I might come home late. There's food in the fridge.

  ~ Aunt Mel

  I smiled at her rushed writing and devoured my food and orange juice in ten minutes. I looked at the time on my phone and it read '8:20' . I slipped my floral backpack over my shoulder and started walking to school, arriving there 10 mimutes before the first bell rang.

  I walked over to me locker, I ignoring the usual grimacing and judgmental looks from people. I opened the small locker and smiled to myself.

         Finally my Senior Year.

   I grabbed my Calculus Book and put the lock on my locker. I started walking over to my class to help my teacher, Mr. Borus. Suddenly, Rivwr and his two other friends walked like they owned the place. Where the heck is that air coming from, anyways! As in slow motion, they walked over to me, expecting me to be stiff and nervous, since I'm obvious shy and, as people called me, nerdy. I hid my scowled under, but clenched my jaw.

  " Sup, Virgin Mercy!" one of his friends, Damion, greeted rudely.

  "Go fuck yourself," I muttered.

   He was shocked at first, he put a smirk on.

  River looked at my schedule, then snatched it off.

  " Damn, Virg Merc. Calculus, Honors English, Chemistry, Honors History, and -" he paused a bit, a shocked look spread across his face.

  " You? In advanced dance class?!" he laughed.

  Soon, everyone laughed around him. I snatched the schedule back. I stormed to my class. I don't give a flying fuck if he has that same class. He WILL NOT ruin my last year. The bell rang, signaling the students to attend to our classes.

  ~ 7th Period~

   All day, I have been avoiding River and everyone, after that rude remark he made.

                I'll show him.

    I walked through the doors of the dance studio, then everyone stared at me. 'Shit, I'm getting nervous' . I bit lip, then went to go change into some jean shorts and a tank top. I put my hair in a ponytail, then walked back out.
