**********************************************************************************
Today, I played with my five best friends, rode unicorns, and slid down the rainbow... I wish. Today is actually my first day of senior year. In other words, the beginning of my own, personal hell.
My alarm hadn’t gone off and as always, I knew that my evil sister had something to do with it. My mother wouldn’t even care the slightest if I jumped off a cliff so I didn’t expect her to wake me up earlier.
I got up and wore my glasses while walking to the closet. I took out sweatpants and a jumper and headed to the bathroom. I was a fast dresser so in 3 minutes flat I was out, ready to go to school. Walking slowly to the door, I noticed that ‘mom’ was sleeping on the kitchen table. She had the I.Q of a rock. You get the point. I walked to school as always, for my sister clearly stated that I couldn’t go in the car with her because she didn’t want to be seen with me. Yes, you probably noticed that my dear mother and sister aren't my biggest fans. Heck, you could say they despised me!
Seventeen years ago, the day my mother gave birth to me, my father passed away. He had been heading to the hospital when a truck crashed into him. The accident was fatal. My mother treated me like I was the plague telling me constantly that it was all my fault. Growing up was hard. I’ve never had a birthday party, never felt any love from my family, and the only time my mother talks to me is when she’s shouting at me or demanding me to clean the house. And that’s not the least of my problems. School. I’m a nerd, I admit, therefore the ‘cool people’ at my school think that I deserve to be beaten and bullied. I am beaten once in a while but people know not to annoy me. I’m not the type of person that backs down. I fight back when I need to and sometimes I actually end up giving people a few bruises. Yay me!
Collin Smith. The person I despise the most in the whole universe. Ever since first grade, my biggest bully had been Collin. Beating me up usually, insulting me every time I walk by, and embarrassing me in front of the whole school. Boys aren’t supposed to hit girls but in his opinion I’m only a piece of trash. So, it isn’t counted. I don't even know what his problem is!
I reached the school gates, having just enough time to run to my classroom and not be late. I ran inside, bumping into people but I didn’t care. There was a schedule posted on the school billboard and I had caught a glimpse of what I had for first period.
I was right outside the classroom when someone roughly pushed into the wall to my left. I hit my head on the wall with a thud and a grunt. Two black boots came across my vision. My eyes trailed over the person’s faded jeans, up his black t-shirt to his face. His wet black hair falling over his electric blue eyes that were staring right into my very light brown ones. His pale face was scrunched up in disgust as he said, “ Watch it loser. I don’t want to get fleas.” I had learned years back not to care about what he says.
“ Sorry but I don’t think the fleas would want to get anywhere near your ice-cold blood anyways.” I smirked slightly. Nice one, i thought to myself. He scowled and walked to me. Picking me up from the floor (not to gently), He pinned me to the wall and brought his mouth next to my ear. The proximity was nerve racking. "Would you like me to teach you a lesson? Because if you do...... i can start right now." He spat out, his words laced with venom.
"N-no, i-it's alright. I'll p-pass." My words came out flustered. Come on! You wouldn't do the same when a dude is this close to you?! "Good." He said, a hint of smugness, Jerk.
he dropped me and went into the classroom. Still a bit shocked, I followed suit and went in to the classroom too. As Mr. Caright started the lesson, I slowly drifted off thinking about my father. If he had lived, would mother be so cold hearted towards me? Would I have ever gotten a birthday party? Ever felt any type of love from my family? Most importantly, would I have lived a normal life?
The bell rang, signaling the end of first period. I got my locker number and schedule from the secretary and walked to my assigned locker. As I was walking I hadn’t realized that there was a person in front of me.
A short girl with fiery red hair and sparkly green eyes stood before me. She had a huge grin on her face and I was taken aback by it. She must be new. No one has ever smiled at me before, well, all except Mia. I was the loner and nerd of this school, so you must have been an idiot to actually talk to me.
A sweet voice brought me out of my thoughts, “ Hi, my name’s Cyndie!” I stared at her like she was mentally impaired. “Umm, hi Cyndie.” I slowly started to walk away. I wasn’t trying to be rude, but it would be better for her sake not to be seen with me. She trailed next to me with a slight frown on her face. “ What’s wrong? Why are you avoiding me?” I stopped and turned around facing her, more shocked than I’ve ever been my whole life.
“Are you blind? Do you not see me? I'm the biggest nerd and loner in this school. It would be better for you just stayed away from me.” I replied coldly. Was this some sick joke? Because I’m not falling for it.
Hurt flashed through her eyes but it was quickly replaced with determination. “No, nothing’s wrong with me. And, last time I checked I wasn’t blind. You might be a loner and a nerd but I don’t care. Even nerds have friends! What’s stopping you?” I thought about my family. I couldn’t trust anyone, couldn’t love anyone, because in the end, they’re going to smash that love, or move away like Mia did.
I felt my eyes tear up but forced myself to stop. I’ve put up with it all my life and I won’t break down now. Cyndie watched curiously, not saying anything. I quietly said, “ Just please leave me alone. I don’t want this. I don’t want any of this.” I turned and walked, eyes wide and clouded. I hadn’t even cared when my sister and her posse walk by and pushed me into the lockers.
My sister is only a year older than me but because i’m smarter than kids my age, I skipped a grade. Getting used to her bullying me took a lot of time, even though it rips my heart up. On top of all this pain, mother expects me to clean the house everyday. Yes, I’m their maid and nothing else.
Nothing happened all through the day and when the last bell rang, I was relieved. I ran out of the school and started my ten minute walk to prison, also known as my home.
I was walking into my room when I heard my mother call me. Putting on my emotionless face, I walked down to the living room. Mother was sitting on the couch when she said, “Bethany, this house will be spotless by eight o’clock sharp.” I flinched when she said my name like it was poison on her mouth. “Why? I usually clean the house after I finish my homework. What’s happening tonight?” I answered, curiously. Big mistake.
She got up off the couch, walked, and stopped right in front of me. She was shorter than me, her blonde hair tied up in a bun, her eyes glaring right into mine. Alyssa, my sister, got my mother’s beautiful light blue eyes and blonde hair. I on the other hand, had gotten my father's golden-brown eyes and dark brown wavy hair.
“And who gave you permission to ask?” She asked me. I was stunned. Why did I have to ask?! "I'm s-sorry. I -i didn't mean t-to." A smirk appeared on her face. "That's a good girl. Now go on and start cleaning! You also have to cook dinner! GO!!" She screamed and pushed me out of the room, making me fall on my butt.
Welcome to my life.
