I was sitting on the my bed staring at my phone until I heard my mom yelling my name
"HALEY!"
I jumped up and looked at my clock. 7:50
10 more minutes until I was tardy for school.. I saw some pajama pants laying by my bed and a solid black shirt with no prints on it. I rushed over there and started to put my my pants, I almost tripped. I then put my black t-shirt on.
I ran down stairs and saw my mom waiting for me while holding my back pack with a smirk on her face.
"Hurry up, you're already gonna be late"
I gave her a stare and zoomed past her down the stairs to put on my uggs. I hated uggs but they were so comfortable. My mom passed me and opened the door leading to the white jeep. The dogs came running down stairs since they heard the door open. I rolled my eyes. They are annoying sometimes. I grabbed my backpack where my mom placed by the door. I opened the door and locked it. I hopped in the car and put my seat belt on.
We drove for about 5 minutes until I saw my school. I hated school. Everyone was so annoying. Well, that's what I though. Maybe that's why I had no one to hangout with. She parked the car a couple feet away from the school entrance. I sighed and proceeded to open the door and slowing getting out. I had to walk the path of shame since everyone was already in the school. They were gonna stare at me when I opened the door. I walked my over there and opened the door quiet enough that no one could hear me. I walked to the front office. It was 8:02. I was late. I got my tardy slip and put my phone in the bucket. We had to do that every morning. Even though we were in high school. Ugh.
I got to my classroom. Room 10. English.
I sat down with Naomi, my friend and started to chat.
"Why are you late"
"I was sleeping"
"Oh. Haha"
I kept quiet until she said something else.
"I'm going to a party tonight"
"...Wanna come?"
I didn't know Naomi that much. I was only a week and a half new. I guess this would be how I can get more more friends. I shrugged it off.
"Sure, why not"
She gave me a paper with her name on it and her phone number. Its like she new I was going to say yes.
I took the paper and shoved it in my pocket. I guess you could say I was excited to actually going to my first party.
7th Period. Algebra II.
I sat down by this kid. I forgot his name. He began talking to me.
"Oh hey, Haley"
"Oh um, hello"
I was trying to remember his name. My brain snapped and his named popped up in my head. Josh.
"I was wondering if you'd like to go to the movies" He asked politely.
I barely knew this kid, Josh. For some odd reason I'm getting many invitations.
"Hmm. Sure"
"Great! Tomorrow then?"
"Sure!"
I guess he was pretty cute.. Class went by fast. It was already 2:29.
The bell rang, so I got up from my chair and proceeded to put my backpack on, until I heard a little whisper from the hallway saying my name to come here.
I waddled over there and looked around. Eventually I saw that it was Naomi. She was waving her hand to come here. I ran over there.
"The party is in a little while" Lets get you all prettied up"
I shook my head yes and followed her. It was about 3 minutes until I saw a row of apartment. She got her key out and walked up to her apartment. She opened the door.
"My mom isn't home, thank god. Shes a bitch"
"Um. Okay" I laughed awkwardly.
I followed her up stairs into her room. Her room was very girly with posters of boy bands everywhere.
"Sit there" She pointed to her bed
I sat down and watched her while she got out her makeup kit out.
She got eyeliner and eye shadows out. She proceeded to put makeup on me and finally finished. I got up and looked for a mirror. I walked over to the mirror and stared. I actually looked pretty, for once in my life I looked beautiful. I smiled and my self confidence raised all the way to the ceiling. I was actually excited to go to this party now. The party was in 30 minutes.
"My boyfriends going to pick us up, hes 18" She winked.
We heard honking outside. It was her boyfriend. We ran downstairs to the door and opened it and closed it. I was a little nervous, since my mom said to never go in cars with strangers. I rolled my eyes and got in the back seat. It smelled like cigarettes. My nose crinkled. I looked out the window while Naomi was talking to her boyfriend. He drove to the woods on this trail that was barely made by cars. I began to feel worried. And got the balls to ask where we were going.
"Its a party, haven't you been to one?" He huffed.
I had a blank stare and rolled my eyes for the third time today.
The trees blocked the sun so it got dark very quick. I hated the dark. It always scared me.
We drove to a cabin and park right in front of it. I saw a couple other cars. We all got out and walked to the cabin. I opened the door and held it for Naomi and her boyfriend. It was dark with candles everywhere. It didn't seem like a party at all. Someone pushed me and I went flying to the wood floor. I turned over and saw that everyone was looking at me, everyone got in a circle around me.
"Well..." I said.
"You are a whore, Haley. You tried sleeping with Josh"
"What.. Haha?"
Someone was making there way through the crowd. It was Josh. He got pushed in the middle by me. How about you guys kiss someone in the crowd said.
I looked at Josh.
"What is happening" I whispered
He just stared at me.
I got a sharp pain in my head. I looked behind me and saw that Naomi's boyfriend had a bat. I stared at him. Everything got fuzzy. I blacked out and woke up on a very dirty ma tress. I was hurting all over the place. I was bleeding from my nose. I had bruises everywhere. I looked down and saw that I was scratched badly by my thigh. I was bleeding from my underwear. I started to cry and looked everywhere for a door. I tried to get up and walked towards the door, limping.
I opened the door slowly and saw the front entrance and started running toward it. I was in so much pain but I needed to get out of there. I started running. Anywhere. I wanted my mom. I had no cellphone. I checked all my pockets. I saw this river and started to cross it. I heard some talking behind me.
"That was really fun"
I cried some more and ran faster than ever. I looked both ways. I saw Josh standing in front of me.
"Lets get out of here"
I ran towards him and shook my head yes. I started to run faster and faster until I felt dizzy and everything was in slow motion. I fell to the ground and stared at my feet. Eventually I saw Josh standing right in front of me with a gun. I felt my back. I was bleeding everywhere. I looked up to the sky and started to cry. I started to crawl and got on my knees. I started to get on my feet and just ran with everything I had left.
I heard josh laughing.
I ignored him and kept running. I saw an Albertsons and cried some more. I ran to the parking lot. I saw people running towards me. But I fell and and started to feel cold. I smiled and looked up to the sky. I whispered to myself and was trying to make out the words
"I love you mom"
