"Mom I'm going on a walk!" I yelled down the stairs as I slipped my black converse sneakers on my feet.

"Ok. See you when you get home from school." My mom yelled back from the living room.

As I put my long blonde hair into a ponytail, I peeked into the living room. 

"You are doing a good job on that tree!" 

"Thanks honey, I try my best!" My mom said back to me.

Quickly, I pulled on my black jacket, and checked my phone:

6:00 A.M. 1 hour to jog to the park.

I opened the door only to find Axel, my step-dad.

"Axel, move. I'm going on my walk."

"Aqua! Don't talk to me like that! I'm your step-father!"

"Yeah, unfrortunutly." I mumbled. I pushed past him and stood on my lawn for a minute, putting on my favorite playlist on my phone. I set a timer for 7:00 A.M.. I plugged my earbuds into my phone, and put the earbuds in my ears. I started jogging down the street to the park.

****At the park****

BUZZZZZ BUZZZZ  

Damn it. I have to leave the park.

I swung my backpack over my shoulders and took one last look at the frozen pond. Turning my head to the right, I saw the big high school I go to. I started jogging across the grass and got onto the pavement. I heard breathing next to me, and turned my head. When I saw the person that was there, I scowled at him. I turned my head back so I didn't run into a pole.

"What do you want Brendan? Don't you have a girl to fuck."

"Yeah, I was hoping it would be you." I stopped dead in my tracks.

Typical fuck-boy. Doesn't he have a girlfriend? Yeah, he does. This little bitch is hitting on me when he has a girlfriend. I think her name is Julia, right?

I started jogging a little faster, hoping he wouldn't catch up with me. Just with my luck though, he did.

"Brendan you have a girlfriend. Why are you hitting on me?"

"I broke up with Julia last night, she was being a bitch to me."

"I wonder why." I tried to jog faster, but it didn't work.

"Oh, come on Aqua. We could have some fun together." He winked at me, and I rolled my eyes at him.

Brendan is the biggest fuck-boy in school, if you couldn't tell. 

"In your dreams, Brendan. I'm not going to get together with a douchebag like you."

"Oooo harsh, and don't worry. I'll be amazing in my dreams." He jogged off, turned his head, and winked at me one more time.

What a player! He thinks I'm just going to be his "rebound girl", but he is SOOOOO wrong. We have known each other since elementary school, but I don't give a shit about that boy.

I continued my jog to school and ran up the steps to the 3rd floor. Quickly I checked my phone to see what time it was:

7:15 A.M. 15 minutes until the first bell rings.

I swiveled my head to the locker next to mine.

"Hey Savannah. How's YOUR day going?" I asked her while I put my jacket on the hook in my locker.

"I'm good, how about you, Aqua?" She closed her locker, and leaned up against it.

"Ehhh. Fuck-Boy-Brendan TRIED to whoo me over, but it didn't work." I reached into my bag and grabbed two pieces of watermelon gum. "Want a piece? Only one though because you know how strict Mr. Doriso is about gum chewing."

"Yeah, I'll take a piece." I handed her the piece of gum and unwrapped mine, popping it in my mouth. Savannah did the same. Checking my phone, I saw the time was 7:25 A.M..

"Sorry Savannah, I have to head down to class. It is really annoying having my locker on the 3rd floor when most of my classes are on the 1st and 2nd floor. I think this school just hates me." Rushing down the stairs, I spotted Brendan and his little fuck-boy mini me's. I rolled my eyes and headed to class, trying to act invisible so they didn't see me.

"YO AQUA!" 

Oh no. The fucking idiot, Hunter.

"What do you want Hunter?" I sighed and threw my gum out in the nearest trash can. "I'm going to be late to class."

"HOW ABOUT YOU HANG WITH US SOMETIME, HUN?"

I looked at him, raised my hand and slapped him. "That is for calling me hun. ;_;"

"OOOOO SOMEONE IS GETTING PISSY!!!" Raising my hand again, I said:

"Do you want me to slap you again, or no. Hmmm maybe something else would be better..." I grinned at him.

"Are you thinking what im thinking?" He wiggled his ''area'' and winked at me.

"Half of what I'm thinking." I smirked at him and kicked him where the sun don't shine.

"Bye, bye boys." I smirked at them and ran to class. The first bell rung and I was already in my seat, next to Savannah. I leaned over to her chair.

"Savannah."

"hmm?"

"Those boys are idiots."

"Tell me about it."

"They act like they own every fucking girl. Like we are some rag doll to them. It's not right."

"You're right Aqua. Some of the girls should really take a stand to those idiots."

"The only problem is they are all to fucking hot for life ;___;, all the girls will soon give up and fall into their arms."

"True. Text me when you get home. It is 7:30 A.M. and the teacher isn't here. She could walk in any moment and hear us cursing. You know how Mrs.Dodds LOVES to hear us curse."

I leaned back in my seat and closed my eyes for a minute, trying to think of a peaceful life with no Hunter, Brendan, Joe, Bobby, or Connor. The peacefulness was interrupted when someone tapped on my shoulder. 

"What do you want?" I opened my eyes to see it was Brendan. "Dude. You aren't in this class."

"I am now." He held up a form, and I recognized the signature. 

"You forged your mom's signature?"

"Shhhh, and guess what?"

"What?" I tried to sound as uninterested as possible.

"Mrs. Dodds said I could choose my seat. I choose to sit right here."

He plopped down in the seat next to me. I looked at Savannah and rolled my eyes.

"Could this get any worse?"
