My life would suck without you

Falling

Maggie layed there in her bed. Not able to sleep. She couldn't believe her old life was gone, and now she had to completely throw it away. And for what?? Because she was "A spoiled brat." As her mother put it, and she needed a change. Or the fact that her dad had to move them there, for a dumb opportunity at the Midvale police department.

She rolled around in her bed for a while. Her mind racing about the morning to come, or the morning that's only a few hours, or minutes away. She was nervous. This is a feeling she hadn't felt in a while. She was also sad, that feeling she knew all to well. Maggie thought back of when they packed up for the moving van, as the men wisked her things away, off to their new home. She stood there, looking at the house she had to say good bye to. And some of her friends, which she sometimes wondered if that's what they were. She was dragged out of her thoughts when she heard a beeping noise.

Her alarm was going off. She grabbed her phone and looked at the time. 5:30 a.m.

"Great." Maggie said, just above a whisper. She sat up and thought once more, about the day ahead of her. And then got up to get ready for the first day of her new life.

Alex woke up. And gasped for air, as she did so. Filling her lungs with the air they must have been deprived. In the process, falling off her bed. She landed on the floor with a harsh thud, she cried out in pain, as she landed right on her arm. She didn't even move. Just laid there. She began to listen. Listening to the loud music she forgot to turn off the night before. Glad her parents had to work that night and that her sister stayed at a friends house.

She rolled over on the floor. Now laying on her back, staring up at the sealing. She then brought her hand up to caress the shoulder she had landed on, moments ago and began reminiscing about the night before, where she had smoked weed and got so high she felt like she was flying. She looked down at her arm, detested of her fresh scars that she gave herself just before she decided to get high that night. She would definitely have to hide those from Kara, again.

She looked over to her right on the floor, where her cell phone was. As she did so her long hair covered her face. She cursed at herself as she moved the hair out of her face; annoyed that she still hasn't gotten it cut short, but she was to scared to ask her parents, and she definitely wasn't going to do it herself. She picked up her phone and turned off the punk rock music that was playing pretty loudly from her bluetooth speaker. She got up off the floor and made her way to the bathroom to wash up and get ready for her first day as a senior.

As she finished getting dressed, and putting on makeup she made her way downstairs. She grabbed her hoodie and her messenger book bag and headed out the door towards her bus stop. She stood there as thoughts ran through her head about all the new classes she couldn't wait for.

Alex didn't know why but people seemed to think that she hated school. When in fact that just wasn't true. She loved school, well the learning part. She didn't really like the people, and there's very few she'd call a friend. Alex didn't go to school to make friends as it is. She went because she wanted to learn, and also because she had to, if she wanted a decent job in this world.

Alex stopped thinking as she was pulled from her thoughts by the sound of her bus coming down the street. She was dreading getting on, a little, but decided to put on her best poker face. The bus stopped in front of her, coming to a squealing hault, then the doors opened with a compressed air sound as they bounced a little in their stop. She began walking up the steps and made her way onto the bus as the doors shut behind her. She scanned the bus for an empty seat or at least a spot. It was just her luck that she was apparently the last stop, because there was only one seat left. And that was all the way in the back on Alex's right hand side and it was occupied by a girl Alex had never seen before.
