"Wake up you whore!?" Jumping out of my skin, I feel the scorching pain on my scalp as Dan pulls my hair, throwing me down onto my bedroom floor.
I looked over on my nightstand, only to find out it's now 3:45AM. He must have just came home, and he reeked of cigarette and alcohol.
Suddenly my head makes contact with the cold wooden floor and a throbbing pain shoots up to my head and I feel the blood rush to my head. Opening my eyes, my vision blurs from the sudden contact and tears pool around my eyes, threatening to spill.
"You fücking whore! You were out on the damn streets passing your shit around!" Just when I thought he was going to let me off, he kicks me. He kicks me by my ribs, my legs, my stomach, and everywhere.

Walking into school, I kept my head down, and hair over my face to cover my existence.
Limping my way to the ladies restroom, I walk into a stall. I know I'm on the verge of breaking down and just crying my eyes out, but I refuse to cry. I refuse to cry at school, and show my emotions. Claudia, you're going to keep you head up high, you're going to go to class and survive this! It'll be over soon! With those words playing over and over again in my head, I unlock the stall and walk over to the mirror.
Looking in the mirror, I see an ugly girl as my reflection. A broken, fragile, bruised girl. Clearing my throat, I smiled as I pull my hood off of my head and I run my frail fingers through my hair, combing the knots out. I take a deep breath, preparing myself for the day and walked out of the restrooms.

"Okay, settle down!" Mrs.Kingston my science teacher hushed the class down. When all goes silent, she continues. "Like I said, we'll be starting on a new project, and each and everyone of you will be partnered with another student in this room." at her last words, everyone starts talking about who they'll be partnered with. "Now, before I get you hopes up, I'm picking your partners!" And just like that, everyone shuts up.
"Bailey Anderson and Dom Huel. Sam Carver and Tyler Mills. Kayley Garder and Brandon Munoz.........." And the list goes on and on as I zone out.
As my name is called, I snap my head up. "Claudia Jones and Kaleb Pierce." My jaw drops. Searching the room for Kaleb, my eyes find his ocean blue orbs. Smirking, he walks up to me. When he reaches my desk, he places his palms on my desk and leans on it.
"Well princess, guess we're partners." And just like that, my thoughts of Kaleb turning nice flee out with the tornado. "Oh c'mon, I'm not that bad," Kaleb teases with a smirk and I scoff.
"Okay, maybe I am, but maybe we can work it out." Kaleb shrugs innocently and turns around and starts walking. Before he walks any farther, he turns around and mouths 'your place after school' and just like that, he walks out of the room as if the bell just rung.
Huffing out in frustration, I get up to get the supplies as Mrs.Kingston announces what to do. She didn't even notice that Kaleb left the room. Moronic idiot.

Opening the big doors, I make my way down the cement steps, making sure not to trip. As I'm walking, my name is called. Turning around in confusion, I see Kaleb running towards me.
"My car, your place." He Huff's those four words and walks off.
"I have feet that works you know!?" I shouted not making an attempt to move or follow the devil's steps.
"You get in my car or I drag your ass in," At his threat, I immediately run to catch up to him.
