Beep. Beep. Beep.
"Wake up Amanda! Don't make me come up there!" I hear my father yelled from downstairs and got out of bed. "You got an hour to get ready!" I quickly got in the shower and stripped my clothes off, while turning on the water and it was cold at first, but I moved the handle and let it warm up within a few seconds, and started washing my body and my hair.
It only took me 15 minutes in the shower, so I turned off the water and got out, while grabbing a towel and then drying myself off. Then I head over to the sink and turned it on, while grabbing my toothbrush and put toothpaste on it, and began to brush my teeth. Once I was done, I went back into my room and put on a pair of underwear, along with a bra, and then threw random clothes to wear on my bed. I finally decided to go with my black skinny jeans, black converse, a designer t-shirt from Akumu Ink(a/n: I love their shirts!), and a black hoodie. Then I heard a knock downstairs, so I quickly got dressed and gathered all of my things in my backpack, which was also black and has a few buttons on it, and then put my hair up in a ponytail.
"I'm leaving Amanda and you better not bring any boys home!" He yelled at me and I rolled my eyes. I hear him slam the door and sigh in relief, because I can sneak something to eat, and why is that you ask? Well, it's rare for me to eat anymore and I've lost a lot of weight, but he doesn't even care about it, and only care for himself. I grabbed my backpack and head downstairs, while closing the door behind me and went to the kitchen. Then I opened the fridge wide open and see what I can snack on, before I go to school, so I grabbed an apple and closed the fridge door, but when I turned around. "What the fuck are you doing?" My father asked me and then slapped me across my face, while I dropped the apple on the floor, and then looked up at him.
"Can I please eat something? I haven't eaten anything all week." I begged him and he just snaps, so his balled up his hand into a fist and punched me in the nose, and I fell back onto the fridge. He was punching and kicking me non-stop, until we hear a bus pull up, and then honking, so I quickly got the strength to get up from the floor, and ran out of the house. The bus driver opened the door and I ran towards the back of the bus, but when I looked up at my dad out the window. His eyes were blood shot red and I looked away from him, while the driver drove off, and tears begin to fall down my face. "I just want to end my life." I whispered to myself and wiped the tears from my face.
"Miss? Are you alright back there?" The driver asked me and I looked up from my seat.
"I-I'm fine, thank you." I lied to him and he nods, but felt something run down my nose, so I wiped my nose and looked down at my hand. "Shit." I said and sigh. Luckily, I have some tissues in my backpack, because I needed them for something else, but I'm not going to say what, so I take one out and put pressure on my nose, until it stopped bleeding.
|Time Lapse|
The bus driver stops in front of the bus, while opening the doors, and then everyone starts getting off, but I stayed, until everyone was one, and finally got off. I made my way inside the building, but there was a well dressed man standing in front of the main office, so when he looks at me. "You must be Amanda." He smiled and I nod. "I'm Evan Fong, but you can call me Evan, and I'm the principle of the school." He introduced himself and I smiled.
"Good morning Mr.Fong!" We looked up and a bunch of girls with short shorts, high heels, tank tops and blonde hair walked by us, and he sighs.
"Good morning ladies." He said and they stopped in front of us. "How many times do I have to tell you, that y'all can't be dressing like that in school?" He tells them and they just giggled.
"Maybe we want your attention?" One of them giggled and I rolled my eyes.
"Keep it up girls, because I'm going to have to give you detention already." He said and they walked off.
"Does that happened a lot?" I asked him and he nods. "I can see why." I giggled a little bit and he looks at me confused. "You have the looks." I said and he chuckled.
"Let me show you around." He said, so I followed behind and he shows me my classes, even the other buildings, that were way in the back, and when we stopped in front of the music room.
"What the fuck Delirious?!"
"Not again." Evan said and opened the door wide open, but when they both looked up at us. "What are you guys arguing about now?" He asked them and when they looked down at me.
"Who's the girl?" One of them asked and I backed away a little bit, but then felt a hand on my shoulder, so I jumped forward and turned around.
"Don't scare her to death Jonathan." Evan said and gently puts his hand on my shoulder. "This is Amanda and she's going to be attending to your classes." He tells them and they both nod, while they both held out their hands to me.
"I'm Tyler." He says and I shook his hand.
"Jonathan, but I prefer Delirious." He said and I shook his hand as well.
"Now then, why were you two yelling about?" Evan asked them again, and Tyler points at Delirious. "What did he do?" Tyler doesn't say anything, but looked into Evan's eyes and then face palmed. "That's the third time already Jonathan." He said and I was just confused.
"What?! It's not my fault that-" Tyler cuts his off by hitting the top of his head and I just giggled.
"I haven't giggled this much since-" I stopped mid sentence, because the memories of my mom were coming back to me, and my vision was getting blurry.
"Amanda? Are you alright?" Evan asked me and then I felt tears fall down my face, so when I looked up at them. Their eyes widen and I just stormed out of the room, while running to my first class, and I wiped the tears from my face.
