Hi my name is Dawn I am 17, I have long brown hair, and eyes the color of the ocean waves.My story begins like any other miserable day at high school.
"Dawn....Dawn... sweetie... time to wake up you are going to be late for school." yelled my evil step monster my mother married. I absolutely hated him. he's only nice to me because he has to be, but I have seen the glimmer of hatred behind his eyes. You see i have a "gift" I guess you could call it; I am able to tell the personality of someone i meet by the first time I look into their eyes. As you have probably guessed my step-monster isn't very good at hiding his true personality when it comes to me.
So, I began to wiggle out bed and get dressed. As soon as my foot touched the icy cold floor I jumped up about 5 feet into the air and back on to my bed. I already knew this was going to be a rough morning. I eventually got dressed and went down stairs. However, my mom was waiting at the bottome with a you are so grounded look on her face. All i could think was "aw s***!" The first thing I heard was," do you mind explaining to me why you have a C in English?" I let out a sigh trying not to punch her in the face for getting on my a** up at 6:30 am, and said " Mom it's not a big deal the teacher is the real problem. He doesn't teach us s***, and when he says he does he gives us a giant test over everything we don't know. So, why don't you wake him up at 6:30 am and rag his a**!?!" My mom didn't even say a word, but the first thing i got was a backhand across the face. My face stung like a million bees had just stung me. I didn't say a word, flinch, or even shed a tear. I kept trying i wasn't' going to give into her game again. Before i could get up she leaned in and whispered in my ear," Next time you raise your voice at me you will be in the basement again." Her voice was like a arrow straight through my chest. I was paralyzed and then she laughed and walked out of the kitchen,because she knew she had won. I couldn't do anything but get my stuff and wait for the bus. As i waited in the cold for my bus my mom got in her car and waved at me as she went by as if nothing had happened.
Finally, the bus drove up and just my luck the only seat left was next to high school jock, a**hole, and player ;Derick Price. I calmly sat down and wished the heater was working 'cause all i had was a sweater. Just my luck Derick had to turn my way and talk. "Hey are you okay...."
