"AND BABY EVERYTHING THAT I HAVE IS YOURS, YOU WILL NEVER GO COLD OR HUNGRY

CAUSE YOU ARE, THE ONLY THING THAT I'VE GOT RIGHT NOW"

I hastily woke up to my iPhone playing 'Next to You' by Chris Brown and checked the time. 5:30 am.. Great, time for school.

I got out of bed and made my way to the shower. Letting the water quickly hit my back, I started to feel more and more awake. After I settled on a plain light gray v neck, my dark wash skinny jeans and black converse. I applied my eyeliner and mascara along with some shiny lip gloss.

When I got down stairs, it was quiet, I walked into the kitchen and saw a note along with lunch money.

Rose-

Hey sweetheart, had an early shift today, left you some lunch money, have a great first day, love you, mom xoxo

I'm used to her not being at home when I wake up, she either has early shifts or late ones. I'm usually the only one in the house because I'm an only child and my parents aren't together anymore.

I grabbed an apple from the bowl and started munching down and went on my phone to look at funny vines. I was on vine for awhile then decided to check my phone, it was about 7:45. I decided to head outside to the bus stop and that was a big mistake because then, I saw Niall again. My heart started to pound out of my chest. He looked up and saw me too, o god. He waved to me and smiled, I gladly waved back and gave him a small smile. O my god.. That boy has such a cheeky smile.

I am my way to the bus stop and put in my headphones listening to the cab, I love music. It's helped me through so much, been suicide. Yeah, you read that right, I'm suicidal, well used to be at least. Ever since the bullying started, I felt like absolute garbage, a nobody and a loser. Also, I used to cut myself, I'd cut on my thighs and my wrists but I don't anymore, I haven't in over a year. Sadly, there are a few small scars left on my wrists, reminding me of those dark times. No one knows, not even Bell, she only knows I used to cut but that's it. She never questioned it any farther.

I was deep in thought when finally, the bus came. I got on and zoned out everyone. When we finally got to school, I went to my homeroom and heard screaming.

"AHHHHHH"

Before I knew it, I was engulfed in a bone crushing hug. It was Bell, when I realized, I wrapped my arms around her as well.

"OMG WE'RE IN THE SAME HOMEROOM!!!"

"Haha bell calm down, I saw you yesterday."

"I know but I missed you baby girl"

"Haha missed you too babe"

"Ugh I hate the bus, it's so annoying and loud."

"Haha, rose, I'll take you to school and back in my car if you want."

Then, I hugged her again.

"OMG THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!" Now I was the one screaming.

After talking for a while, we sat in our seats. Bell sat right next to me, we basically have the same last name, mine being Carter and hers being Cork. There was a seat next to me completely empty but I didn't mind. Bell and I checked our schedules and it turns out, we have homeroom, gym, social studies, science, and art together. Thank god!!

Once the bell rang, the teacher stepped in. She looked quite pretty if you ask me. She had red hair, a few freckles and these bright green eyes, maybe in her mid 30s.

"Ok students, I'm Mrs. Lawson. I'm sure we're going to have a great year....." Blah blah blah, after I trailed off, after about 10 minutes, the doors opened, everyone's head snapped towards the door including mine and there he was.... Niall. Wearing a white t shirt, black skinny jeans and white sneakers. God he looked hot.

"Well Mr. ..." Then she looked at her attendance and her face perked up. "Ah mr. Horan, class we have a new student. This is Niall horan. Make him feel welcomed, you can take a seat right next to.." She looked around the Room and I was praying that he wouldn't sit next to me.

"Hmmm Niall, you can sit next to Miss. Carter."

Great just great..

He saw me and smirked, um ok weird.. And then sat next to me. I kept looking at my math worksheet but then he started talking.

"Hey neighbor.. What's up?"

"Not now Niall, I'm working."

After a few minutes, the bell rang, finally!! I was about to walk out and so was Niall when suddenly, Mrs. Lawson called Niall and I over, o god what now..

"Miss. Carter, can you please show Niall around the school?" What... What..... OMG no. In the corner of my eye, I noticed Niall started smirking again.

"Um sure."

"Thanks you miss. Carter. Now go on, don't be late one the first day of school."

I walked out then asked Niall where he was going next, turns out, we basically have the same schedule, language arts, gym, science, and basically everything else, oh great, just my luck.
